The Grapes Inn in Ryedale

We have been camping just round the corner from The Grapes Inn since 2016 and have been regular visitors of The Grapes Inn ever since. We love this pub. The beer garden is massive and on our recent visit only last weekend although it was cold we sat outside where a logburner was lit by staff and we spent a few hours just chatting around the fire with a few games of darts. The pub it self is quite small but is always warm and welcoming, we just tend to always sit outside. We have had a few meals over the years and they have always been lovely. Since we have been ordering there amazing pizza's the bar staff do make you aware that other food can come out at different times to the pizza's as the pizzas are made in a traditional pizza oven. We have always been made of this and this has never been a issue for us (but have read other reviews were ppl are moaning about it!!). My husband love's the pizza's that much has been known to go for a motorbike ride and stop by for a cheeky one!!

We were staying locally for a long weekend and were recommended the Grapes. Booked a table for six people which was advisable as it was very busy. Great pizzas, great drinks, friendly staff AND they take dogs! The Greek pizza is particularly good.

Nice friendly place, always make us feel welcome

Excellent dog friendly pub close to the campsite.

We had a lovely visit here on Saturday. A really comfy and welcoming pub, with a lovely atmosphere. We had pizzas, which were all fab and this was followed by the most amazing cheesecake. We will definitely be back :)

Friendly staff and villagers, ( you lucky people having this as your local!! ). The open fires, the wealth of curios within the pub, best pizzas and well kept beer made the evenings of our week away a memory we will take away forever. Thank you to all involved with this pub I would highly recommend a visit.

Our favourite pub in the area - all pubs should be like this!

Possibly the best pub in Yorkshire !!

Came across this lovely oldie worldie pub ....just perfect.

Out on an exploration. I found myself in the village of Slingsby. It was here that I came across the wonderful Grapes Inn.

The Wife and I often come here, for drinks and pizzas, and it’s always excellent. This time, the older woman behind the bar was SO RUDE and HOSTILE, it’s really ruined the pub for us. Completely different to her younger, smiling counterparts. Lost for words doesn’t cover it, and rather ruined our ‘local’. 06/09/23.

A great weekend with friends, all locals make you feel welcome 👍🍺🍷

Fabulous pub, couldnt recommend their pizza more, flavour and size was amazing. Staff really friendly and really nice feel to the pub.

Great pizza and selection of drinks with lovely staff and a good atmosphere.

Lovely, very quirky, lots of character just serves a selection of home made pizza and two desserts. Excellent 👌

Really enjoyable pub with lots of character - literally full of ornaments, maquettes, oddities and curiosities. Perfect for a game of eye spy with the kids! We had a great evening here with friends, and had food (pizza night) which tasted great, plenty of space and all reasonably priced, especially 'grumpy hour' where the drinks are £2.50. Dog friendly too.

Great friendly staffs / great atmosphere / nice choice of drinks and amazing pizzas! Absolutely fantastic , worth recommended to friends and family

All that's good in an English country village pub. Looking forward to another visit

Bit disappointed on this visit. Called in for a pint and thought we could share a pizza whilst there. Pub fairly busy but not heaving. Told we couldn't order pizza unless we had booked a table in advance and that they had run out of pizza by 650pm on a Saturday. Bit disappointing for a pub which only starts serving food at 5pm and has signs in the street heavily advertising pizza. Good range of beer and nice atmosphere

This pub is awesome. If you are in the area make sure you visit. The Taylor’s Landlord is very well looked after and the pizzas from the proper pizza oven are exceptional. The staff are brilliant too Sadly I no longer live in the village so can’t just walk round there for a pint, but I will be back again… and again… and again. On my bike!!

Was unable to visit today Saturday 30th April, I telephoned the Grapes to ask if they were serving Pizza first of all the said sharply HAVE YOU BOOKED when we said no they then said they have ran out of food, good job I didn’t book, I used to love this place but it’s hit and miss, not going to bother anymore

Lovely welcome and beer from our favourite caravaning pub!

Lovely pub with AMAZING Pizza! Went on a Wednesday evening with friends, friendly welcome and a lovely place to sit after a evening walk in the area. Thank you!

Very busy local pub, walking distance from Robin Hood caravan site. Closes at 10pm.

Staff very accommodating with our late food order. Enjoyed food indoors and drinks outside with log burner.

Stayed on local caravan site Visited the Grapes with friends a few times for a meal and also drinks in the evening. The pub has good food, great beers, the staff and locals are friendly and welcoming Limited meal times and opening so best checking on their website or board outside Came in just before the kitchen closed one night, the staff was very accommodating and helpful even with the pub being very busy. Definitely a great pub to visit

Came across this stunning pub nestled within a beautiful village in North Yorkshire. Me and my friend immediately felt welcome upon entry and the interior of the pub has just such a homely vibe to it and has some amazing local beers on tap and their stone baked pizzas are one of the best I’ve had. The pub was so busy however the staff made sure everyone was served quickly and this made the stay enjoyable. If you visit this country pub you won’t be disappointed, we will be back.

Love this place. The food is delicious and their pizzas are be best outside of Naples 🇮🇹.. The staff are wonderful and make such a fun atmosphere.., Thank you Catherine and Leigh. and all the others

Warm and cosy village pub....good food, good atmosphere, friendly staff.

Myself and my family visited this lovely pub after a long day at Piglets Adventure. The staff were very friendly and accommodating as we did not book and the place was packed when we arrived. The food was delicious and fresh. We got the steak & ale pie, Aberdeen minuet steak and the fish & chips for a child which was very well portioned. The chocolate, honeycomb cheesecake was also delicious. We will definitely visit again if we are in the area.

Lovely food as always. Really welcoming staff.

We was stopping at the caravan and motohome site and decided to have a meal at the local pub My partner ordered a pizza And I ordered the lasagna My partners pizza came with in 5 mins Nice pizza no issues But after 15mins we kept thinking where was mine After 20 mins the barmaid came to give deserts to another table so we asked where was my food that my partner had nearly eaten his She came back and said it won’t be long 😩 Another 10 mins so half hour later it arrived The excuse was it’s two different kitchens Mmm not good enough excuse You put the pizza in when you find out the lasagne is nearly ready Easy or what and then I was gob smacked because it was luck warm was the lasagne My partner said complain But if it took this long to to come god how long I’d have to wait for another Plus I was starving I can say it was good just not hot like it should off been And to be honest my partner could off eaten his pizza in 5 mins but took his time for me When we was paying another bar women did ask how was it But it was bizzy at the bar and we didn’t want a fuss in public But I hope they do learn from this Because we had been put off and if this had not happened we would off come back the next night The pub itself is very cosy Love the open fires 🔥 Just need to sort them two kitchens out to work has a team We noticed that the table next to us that there daughters pizza came way way earlier then the parents So it’s not a one off I don’t think U go out for a meal together not to eat separately

Stopped of for lunch great food

Great friendly service, helpful and natural with it. Great atmosphere, proper country pub, cosy too. Food was excellent, I had the pork fillet, missus had the pie. Both were excellent and freshly cooked, well done to the team. Afterwards had a drink in beer garden, bit chilly but warmed up by the outside woodburner. Always make a visit to the grapes when in the area, this time staying in Sheriff Hutton, but worth the journey up for a meal. Dog friendly and staff attentive to our pooch too Well done to all the team again, highly recommend Phil , Lynn & Lola the chihuahua

Stumbled across this little gem of a local pub. Great atmosphere, great service, friendly staff, lovely food at a reasonable price. Worth a visit.

Excellent pub in lovely small village. Well worth a visit.Old peculiar and many other ales on tap. Real fire in the bar. Wood fired pizza a speciality. Long may it prosper.

We visited the grey paint for a second time in September after previously been to the pub for food and drinks back in early June. If you're looking for a traditional pub with great food than the grey paint you will not fault. It is a cosy, traditional pub steeped in character and always has an atmosphere as it is a popular watering hole for the local community. With a wide selection of food including an outdoor pizza oven where they cook fresh pizzas and request the food is outstanding. Combine great food, friendly staff and a wide selection of Slings Gin this is a great place to spend an afternoon or evening. However if you are eating table Asians are on a first come first serve basis so be prepared that you might have a short wait although if there are tables unavailable inside you can always eat outside.

Great genuine pub with good atmosphere. Limited menu but the specials board was great. Delicious sausage and bean casserole. Very tasty . Staff very friendly and helpful. Great beer choices too. Highly recommended.

We stayed at the local caravan site and visited twice during our stay , both times the staff were helpful and friendly . The pizzas were amazing and there was a friendly atmosphere too.

Nipped in for a drink after 4pm on Sunday after a lovely walk at Dalby Forest. We hadn’t eaten and they were still serving food, so we had Pesto and red onion macaroni cheese and garlic bread. The food was piping hot and very tasty, I didn’t manage to eat it all. The staff were very friendly. We went in with our 2 cockerpoos, as soon as we sat down staff bought over a fresh bowl of water and biscuits for them. Very nice decor and very clean.

Fabulous village pub. Lovely pizza night and nice friendly welcome for us and the dog!

Lovely food and nice atmosphere. Great little garden to the rear, with bbq and swingball!

Very friendly the pizzas are amazing

During our stay at The Caravan & Camping Site on the edge of Slingsby village, we've enjoyed a couple of visits here before our evening meal at our tourer. A great pub. Spotlessly clean, great atmosphere & friendly staff.

Great country pub. Excellent food and on an evening fabulous wood fired pizzas.

Excellent village pub, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Good selection of beers and food. Will hopefully get to visit there again.

We came here on a Sunday evening since we heard about great pizza and live music. We arrived at 7 PM and unfortunately they were already out of pizza and only had crisps and crackers to offer. We were already about to leave when a friendly couple from the table next to us offered to share their pizza - and it was delicious! So in the end we had a great evening with wonderful live music, good beer, delicious pizza and very nice conversations with friendly people in a good atmosphere. We can definitely recommend this place! But keep in mind that pizza is only served on Saturdays and Sundays from 5 PM - and better be early to get your pizza!

Really buetifull place, especially in this weather.

Last night with caravan, Castle Howard, lovely meal,Salmon & Haddock Fishcakes very tasty Peppered Steak Pie too, the Eton Mess was adorable Friendly staff, Thank you. had had

Country village pub with a good selection of lagers and ales including Old Peculiar on draft. Some nice aged artifacts on the walls. Beer garden includes a pizza kitchen, a separate bar with pool table and another outdoor covered kitchen. Pub menu is just that...

Fantastic village pub, called there for a drink with my wife on her birthday. Will be revisiting it again to have an evening meal as plan to camp locally. Lee and his team run a tight ship

I’m currently sat in Kos eating pizza. I have had pizzas in Greece, France, Monaco, Sicily, Italy, Austria and Portugal……The Grapes Inn, Slingsby pizzas are still the best I’ve ever had! Looking forward to coming home to enjoy a Grapes pizza soon!

Superb food and staff so nice and helpful,clean and roomy inside and dog friendly,well recommended

Lovely pub, good feeling about it. However the menu tonight was very limited, much more so than on the sample menu on the web-site. Chicken skewer starter was fine, olives and bread were ok. Burger and chips was so so. Fish and chips were a real let down. Not the fish to be fair the chips were disgusting. They agreed! Service was so so. This lovely place in this lovely village has huge potential. Wouldn’t return here, so disappointing.

No food at 8.00pm Ana expensive drinks

Excellent service, limited menu quality food Real ale Eclectic pub, interesting decor Recommended place to visit and eat

Really lovely pub and the staff were very nice, the outdoor area at the back is amazing. Sadly for us the food was not great, I had the Aberdeen Angus burger, the bun was way to small and the burger itself was not great, very processed and tasteless.

This is a lovely village pub. Having stayed twice at the caravan park in the village, we called in on numerous occasions for drinks and food. (Do check opening times so as not to be disappointed) There isn’t much on the menu, but I have...

The Grapes was very interesting, full of artefacts collected by landlord over the years. Beer and limited menu excellent, we recommend the steak pie comes with real vegetables. Service was great.

Very nice pizza but fire is very warm in 1 day in 1 room great village I recommend pizza and to be putside

Lovely old place lots of atmosphere, will have a meal before we go away again food looks good

Possibly the best pub I've ever been to.

Very friendly, definitely worth a visit. Great food.

We were staying in Slingsby on holiday for our honeymoon and had visited the local pub -The Grapes in on two occasions. Both times we have been greeted by welcoming staff and other visitors. The food on both occasions has been delicious and staff are...

My partner & I made a special point of booking a table at the Grapes for a meal afterwalking nearby, as we had thoroughly enjoyed their pies some years ago -among the best we had ever had. We were totally disapointed with what we had....

Quality pub, lovely scenery, kind locals, cracking beer, Asahi on tap!!, fantastic staff and the food is banging!!

Fantastic food, great range of beers and a lovely landlady. Perfect pub .

Lovely Yorkshire village pub, good atmosphere and great food, quite a limited menu but should be something to suit everyone, nice outside seating area with a woodburning stove.

Olde world pub in a lovely village. Atmosphere great, staff friendly and good food.

Unusual interior layout with several small rooms - just like pubs used to be. Nice TT beer, open fire and......excellent pizza on a Sunday evening. Well worth a visit.

Limited menu choice but good reasonably price food. Lovely warm and friendly atmosphere

Warm and friendly welcome which is so rare these days in too many places! We hadn’t booked and arrived early, but it was no problem. Two of us are vegetarian and there was a lovely, imaginative choice of starter or main. We could choose where...

Visited after a recommendation. Two adults & two kids, the well stocked open fire was a welcome surprise on a very cold evening! Two fish & chips, one steak & ale pie & one tomato &beetroot soup+ lamb koftas. Food was really tasty, fish was...

Unplanned visit, warm welcome, table no problem. Always enjoy the pheasant goujons, nice French merlot but sadly the good wholesome food ( pie and stew ) arrived on clap cold plates ! Rookie error but needs a quick fix.

Lovely place great reception and service Piza night was excellent fully recommend and will return

Margaret's the best server since sliced bread! Never change, delicious food as well.

Really good lunch, lovely service with a welcoming atmosphere. Recommended.

Very nice pub with friendly staff and decent pizza's

Wonderful atmosphere and staff. Pizzas are delicious, beer is a reasonable price.

A truly fantastic pup... the perfect village pub? Beautiful interior, wonderful staff, great pizzas and burgers and lively atmosphere.

We are a short walk from thus nice pub and it has good beer and very nice food you can't eat indoors yet but I hope that will change.

Superb great food excellent choice of beers and wonderful staff

Stopped Sunday evening for pizza very nice pizza and easy drinking ale. Friendly staff if you're in the area worth a stop

A friendly and popular place. Lots of seating in the yard and garden with a temporary bat set up outside too. Didn't have food but the set up does look impressive. Beer was well kept and presented. Not sure about the plastic glasses but I understand why they're used. Staff are helpful and really try to make your visit as good as it can be despite the screens and sprays and sanitisers we have to use these days. Top marks.

Expensive for food as you have to sit outside as well £15 for a burger lol

Huge quirky beer garden and a bar. Didn't eat here or go inside but I liked what I saw.

Staying locally we always pay a visit to this wonderful village pub. Our experience of food has always been delicious and service is efficient and friendly. It’s clear that they have adapted the outdoor area to accommodate during covid and they have done a excellent...

Lovely food and beer. Shame the owner decided to turn off the WiFi from customers as we were expecting an important message and all other phone signals in the area are very poor. Heard him bragging about it as we finished our drinks. PS. The free chips were lovely. 😉

We stopped by at the grapes for dinner on Friday early evening. There was no need to book, you just rock up and grab a table. At the moment seating is outside (they have a good sized marquee set up) - they have an outdoor...

We visited on Friday which was the first day open after being closed for 10 days due to Covid and as expected extremely busy and long waits for the bar but was worth the wait, the food was excellent and had a lovely outdoor space...

From the roadside you would have no idea the rear of the pub is so well set up!! A fabulous pizza oven and lots of space! Really worth a visit in a sunny day. We had the wood fired pizzas which were very tasty, although...

Love the grapes for so many reasons, try it you'll understand why.

Only outdoors,was OK but not what it used to be!

Stopped here on a Sunday lunch time for outdoor eating. Very well organised with outside bar, lots of tables, gazebos etc. A different menu to usual for Covid times with burgers until 3pm then Pizzas afterwards so this won't be to everyone's taste but in my view its best to do something well which they certainly did and the food was efficiently prepared and served in the outdoor setting.

Great food, good staff, beer not bad

This pub has shown how to run during covid, food excellent as usual.

Outdoor service with a limited menu but it’s all good. Very decent veggie burger with chips and real ale on tap. Pleasant garden but also covered tables.

Limited menu but excellent food. Spoiled by smoking/smokers under canopy producing heavy cigarette smoke.
