I had dinner this week with my husband and Poppy (our dog), the food was amazing, service was fantastic and the service was a level that you don’t see very often these days. We were so impressed we bought vouchers for friends. We will definitely be back, we had 3 courses and each course was a 10/10.

We travelled 50 miles for my 50th birthday treat on recommendation from a work colleague and we were not disappointed. The food was absolutely out of this world. Staff the friendliest most welcoming people you could ever meet. We will most definitely be back it's worth the 100 mile round trip just to taste such wonderful food. Thanks so much

A restaurant booked in advance for our first meal having arrived in North Yorkshire on holiday from Norfolk . I hadn't checked prior to see if we could bring our doggie in with us . Unfortunately when I called to ask we had been seated in the restaurant area which didn't allow dogs . However the lady I spoke to said leave it with her and when we arrived she had moved us to an area in the bar that we could take our doggie in . The food was amazing - the best meal out we have all had for a long time . Starters ,mains and dessert alike . Service was great . The only thing that wasn't to our taste was the decor - a bit too modern / American diner style for us but otherwise perfect .

Simply genuine. A real country pub serving inspired food, with no fuss. My spinach and cheese souffle starter and lamb main were wonderful. Coupled with a pint of Timothy Taylor and a good red wine, I can say no more. Really worth a visit.

We came for lunch after reading the great reviews. The place is spotlessly clean and the staff really friendly. We had the carrot, orange & coriander soup and the haddock fishcake for starters, then the tempura prawns and the burger for mains. We could not fault any part of the experience and loved it all. The two course lunch deal is extremely good value so do go, you won't be disappointed.

My wife and I have eaten here many times before and are always very pleased with the service and the food. So well prepared and cooked. The Chef certainly knows his flavors and seasonings.The interior of the pub is surprisingly modern and contemporary and is always spotlessly clean.Due to the covid restrictions the pub and the evening did seem to be lacking in the atmosphere it normally has, (no fault of the staff), the owner certainly tries to have a chat. The service was quick and very efficient and the food as always was delicious. The burger was cooked to perfection and the flavor was extremely tasty. Love the pub, love the food will definitely return when all is back to normal.

This pub was not one we'd been to before so we chose my birthday to sample their Sunday lunch. The interior had a surprisingly modern and contemporary feel; however our table appeared to be in a void between the two main rooms and the continuously swinging door (into the kitchen) close to where we were sitting became something of an annoyance and tempered the atmosphere of the place. This was the only blip though as service was brisk and very efficient and the food was created by a kitchen where the chefs certainly know how to cook and present their food. My son and I had the lamb kofta which was a subtle mix of flavours and extremely enjoyable, Our roast choices were also equally satisfying. Fortunately we had room for a desert and my peanut butter parfait with fantastic caramelised bananas completed a great eating experience. We're delighted to have found a new place that serves excellent food and we will return.

Absolutely fantastic! Amazing pub in a beautiful area. Booked for lunch, 2 courses for £12, you struggle to find that even in chains! Both had starters, I had lamb kofta which was delicious and dad had crab cake. Both very tasty and not too much just before a main meal.Mains I had a club sandwich which was the best club sandwich I’ve ever had! Tasty grilled chicken and bacon. Dad had fish and chips which were delicious! Light batter and proper homemade chips! Great pint of John Smiths as well! Keep up the good work guys!

Booked for lunch, based on reviews on tripadvisor. The pub sits in a nice village and is an attractive building. It was quiet when we went (only 2 tables) so we had no problems parking in front, however there is no car park and on street parking is limited near the pub.The pub itself is very modern inside and we felt lacked a bit of atmosphere. Felt more american diner than Yorkshire pub.Covid 19 precautions all looked very goodIt was lunchtime and we went for 2 courses for £12 (or 3 courses for £16). Starters were small but very tasty, main course we had fish and chips which was fine (but not great) and the deserts were very nice. All was very acceptable but not exceptional. Service was good Overall very good value if you happen to be nearby but let down by atmosphere whilst food is good I don't think it lives up to the ratings on tripadvisor

My wife and I booked Sunday Lunch in advance of our week long holiday in North Yorkshire. We arrived 30 minutes early having travelled some distance. We were welcomed warmly and informed that being early was not a problem and immediately shown to our table.We both had a Sunday roast, my wife chose the beef, whilst I selected the trio of meats. Both excellent quality and the amount of vegetables supplied separately was sufficient for more than the 2 of us. Good choice of local ales etc to accompany the meal and whilst the desserts were limited in number, they suited our needs.Limited parking but on street parking around the village green met our needs. Worth driving 'out of town' to this small village to experience a lovely meal in smart modern surroundings, with attentive but not intrusive staff.Recommended

Made us and the dog feel really welcome in the comfortable, stylish bar area. My husband really liked the hand pulled local ale too! Very impressed with the hygiene measures in place to tackle the current COVID outbreak - felt very safe throughout the evening. Would definitely recommend this lovely pub/restaurant.

Found this pub by the reviews online and the good offer of 2 course lunch for £12 - including Saturdays. Very clean and modern inside and fully set up for covid with screens at the tables and a glass entrance section where you sanitise your hands and scan the QR code for your location. Good choice of drinks behind the bar, and friendly helpful service. We had the falafel and normal burgers for mains which were well cooked and came with piping hot chips. For dessert we both had the cherry frangipani which was incredible - 10/10 !Small and friendly pub in a sort of out the way little village but worth the trip. No real parking, but lots of places to park around the large green of Scorton.

Scotch egg starter was terrific and Sunday dinner was great too. Kids menu strong at 3 courses for a tenner (big dessert portion). Fish and chips come with bits which is great.

Had a fantastic experience at the Heifer. We booked a table for lunch as a stop off on our way to the Dales. After reading the other reviews and menu we had already decided what to eat and the food was amazing. Smoked haddock was beautifully cooked and they catered for my dislike of mustard by removing the sauce, so very obliging. Hubby had the burger which was fresh and very tasty. We finished with the frangipan tart.. OMG, moist and fabulous. The restaurant has taken great care to meet the needs of COVID and we felt very safe. The staff were very friendly and attentative and we would not hesitate to return and recommend to others. Thank you Heifer for a fabulous lunch, this restaurant is a gem.

When I booked a table for 4 at the Heifer, I advised the restaurant we would be dining to celebrate my Wife's 60th Birthday.The restaurant is in a lovely building and in a great spot but, unfortunately, when we arrived we were shown to a table that was laid out with 3 places side by side on one side and one on the other. This seemed a strange arrangement in the circumstances so we asked the waitress if we could change the layout. I understand that Covid has created a lot of stress for workers in hospitality but she was very, very surly and grumpy in responding that it was laid out to ensure social distancing and that basically we should just accept that. We asked if we could move to a more to a conventionally laid out table that we could see further into the building, because it was a Birthday celebration. She did allow this although it was very, very clear that she was not happy to do it. One of our party said 'that's wrecked the night now- she'll be a pain all night'Sure enough she was aggressive when we initially asked what beers were available then, asked what lagers were available. She said that 'he only asked what beers were available not lagers' as though there was a limit on what questions could be asked and she basically wanted to have an argument about that. At this point we should have walked out but we had, up to this point, had a really nice day and didn't want to ruin it by ending up going for a takeaway or stressing out trying to find somewhere else to go on such a special occasion.We ordered our food and drinks in a frosty atmosphere and, despite her best efforts, really enjoyed the food which was sensational. the Chef is amazing.As the evening progressed she did mellow but our conclusion was that spending over £140 for a meal for 4 in that atmosphere was a total waste of money however outstanding the food might have been as our conversation afterwards all related to her behaviour. Her lack of warmth and lack of ability to recognize what a special occasion it was and to try and help that go well by looking after us in a courteous, professional manner wrecked the night. A great shame but i couldn't recommend the Heifer at all.

Been here several times. First came across it when we were looking for a great place for Sunday Dinner, and was not disappointed. Have been back multiple times to sample a great menu and have never been disapointed. This is a lovely pub and eaterie in a great location over looking Scorton's unique raised village green, close to Yorkshire Dales and the lovely town of Richmond and also a good place for a stopover if you are on the Coast to Coast. Some great local walks along the Swale or around the remains of an old WW2 RAF airfield which is just behind the pubThe staff are always very friendly and attentive and the food is cooked perfectly and is great value if you are looking for quality food.

Popped into this pub as it was half way through our drive home based on good trip advisor reviews and were very glad we did.Firstly, the food was excellent, from the chicken and chorizo terrine, to the king prawn tempura and frangipane sponge - everything was very high quality and extremely good value.What really impressed me though was the degree of covid preparation this pub has put in place. They were by far the best prepared venue I have eaten in; sanitization on entry to the venue, acrylic shields between tables (which were already well spaced), staff wearing face shields and during our visit we saw them sanitizing surfaces on a regular basis, even though we were one of very few customers at the time.Well done The Heifer

This place was a real find. Looking on TA for somewhere to eat on our short break in North York’s and after falling a bit flat with our first night choice, this looked like a good bet for our second night. It didn’t disappoint! Clearly a popular place as we didn’t expect it to be almost full on a wet Wednesday night. The food, surroundings and friendly welcome (with excellent service) explained why. All 6 of us enjoyed every dish served up and the only disappointment was that they had run out of the Scotch egg starter - which sounded delicious. Anyway, no matter, the ones we had tasted great and were followed up with equally tasty (and generously portioned) mains. Highlights were probably the smoked haddock topped with a poached egg and the fish and chips but, to be honest, they were all met with favourable comments. Good wine selection to compliment the food so, all in all, somewhere well worth a visit. We’ll definitely be paying another visit when in the area. Give it a try, sure you will enjoy.

We booked The Heifer because of the excellent reviews on trip advisor and we were not disappointed. We sat in the bar area because we had our dog with us but it was beautiful, very comfortable and modern, more like a restaurant than a bar. The service was excellent and the food was amazing. I had the cheese souffle followed by the smoked haddock which were both absolutely gorgeous. It's not cheap but luckily we were there on a Wednesday night and could take advantage of the dine out to help out scheme. However I will definitely return next time I'm in Richmond and will happily pay full price. Definitely the highlight of our holiday!

The main course was undercooked and had to be sent back - very disappointed and was not worth the price (£18 for a main meal!).Never have I had to wait 40 mins just to be given the bill.Do not waste your money on the food, it has no right to call itself a restaurant.. very very disappointed

After having read all the hype , I was Les than happy with the sharp attitude of the lady taking our order . The steak was not very good . It was a badly cut . With grizzle left on . I’m was a butcher for 15 years . I know a well trimmed steak when I have one . The peppercorn sauce was very slightly flavoured . My partner enjoyed her meal and recommended it . Although when she asked if she could have a roasted tomato , the lady said “ it really doesn’t go with your dish and had to re confirm . If I pay £100 on a meal we would like it how WE like it . And again for our sweet we asked if we could have the ice cream without the brownie . We were refused saying “it only comes together . Well we won’t be going to the heifer together again .

We have been to a few local restaurants recently but The Heifer has put in place by far the best Corona virus measures, from hand sanitizer before you enter, tables socially distant, staff wearing visors and a large sign explaining everything, it's the safest we have felt while being out for food. Also the food (as always) was delicious and the best in the area. The staff were helpful and the owners always make a point of having a conversation. Even though it was very busy the service and quality of food was outstanding.

Myself and my boyfriend visited 12/07/2020 for a Sunday dinner, after scouring Trip Advisor for somewhere local or near the Richmond area The Heifer popped up - even though it’s about 15mins down the road. What a gorgeous pub/restaurant in a lovely quaint setting!Was so nice to see driving into the village locals and visitors filling the outdoor seating areas, yet indoors it was kept very in tune to the H&S Covid-19 standards. Also, love the modern decor! Food was gorgeous, a nice step up from your basic roast - it was worth the money and very tasty! But what always stands out for me is customer service and we received brilliant service. Thanks very much team! We left The Heifer absolutely full ready for burst, sleepy and happy!

What a wonderful find! This was the first night opening after the lockdown restrictions had been relaxed. The staff were very friendly but covid-conscious and took the idea of sanitising and social distancing very seriously. We have discovered that eating out in north Yorkshire isn't a cheap experience (compared with Sunderland) but when the food is this good then who cares!! We had the smoked haddock fishcakes, cheese soufflé Sea bass on a bed of wild rice with a green Thai sauce and Chicken wrapped in bacon with a rich creamy sauce and potatoes and seasonal veg. We had a hard time choosing between the desserts but settled on the chocolate fudge brownies with salted caramel, honeycomb and vanilla ice cream between us. We both considered every mouthful to be a delight and deliciously satisfying. I first saw the menu online and thought it a little pricey for pub grub. But this was of the standard I would expect from an excellent restaurant. Great dining experience. Compliments to the chef and well done to the staff who did their very best (behind their masks) to make us feel very welcome.

We had booked a table of 12 for Saturday night when on holiday and although many of us enjoyed the food, as a group we were somewhat disappointed overall. The seating was well uncomfortable and when mentioned this to the manager / owner she simply said well we are getting around to replacing them and simply told us to sit on the edges, so it uncomfortable for most of us. My wife had borrowed a pad from an empty seat nearby as she has a sore back and when we told the lady, she said well don’t take anymore otherwise other customers would need to sit on bare seats and walked away. The food, I would say was slightly over priced but nice. The same lady when delivering desserts shouted “Tiramisu”, when she got no reply, shouted “Cheesecake”, then basically threw it on the table, half on and half off the mat, clinking the cutler, with no apology.I must however say that the place was short staffed initially and we were informed of this and when extra staff arrived, they were excellent and friendly. We will however, not be returning and from our experience, find it hard to rate it highly, even though the food was mixed from good to great...the fact that our bill was over £450, I think we could have been appreciated a bit more.

Fabulous sunday lunch. Very friendly and accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble. The only thing I would change is the horseradish mash...bit of an acquired taste.

Visited yesterday evening- did not have a reservation but were welcomed and given a table straight away. Service was fast and very friendly, wine was superb as was the rib eye steak cooked to perfection. Lovely atmosphere with a nice crowd and the gluten free menu was excellent. Really enjoyed it. Highly recommend.

First time visit and will be back. Everything about the evening was lovely - friendly welcome, attentive service and delicious food. Starters were scotch egg and terrine (superb), and main course was Venison Burger and F&C; - again, very tasty - well presented and reasonably priced. No complaints and will be back with friends. Thank you for a lovely evening.

We as a family have been visiting The Heifer for many years and have never been disappointed. everything is always good and served to perfection and super tasty. Great choice on the menu with a range of dishes which also change seasonally. The staff are fantastic, friendly, accommodating and have a great sense of humour making our times here more enjoyable.

I "used" to love dining here with my family during the week, Sunday lunches & for family birthdays & anniversaries. Owners, Pauline & her son were always friendly & welcoming, the food "was" of a good standard & lots of pride would go into pleasing their customers. but!!! "WHAT A SHAME", a new chef & menu, the last couple of visits we have been very dissapointed, one evening we invited a good friend for a meal, 3 out of 4 of us complained how salty the food was, 2 of us had the same meal, the only meal that was safe was the steak & chips, we were told that the chef will "not" be changing his recipe at all.

Called in for Sunday lunch off spec and was accommodated with pleasant staff. The food was delicious and a great selection of beers on draught. Meat was delicious and vegetables cooked perfect. Not the cheapest Sunday lunch but you pay for the quality and wasn’t disappointed with the bill.

Well worth making the trip to Scorton for this: Great hosts, a talented chef (I was brave enough to try a rhubarb desert, despite dark childhood memories - and I’m glad I did) a great menu.. Two courses, drinks (but no wine) for less than £25. Worth every penny. Try the Parmo on a Thursday, if you don’t know what that is. Or if you do, come to think of it..

Got in early for a Friday night meal for 6 family. Steak night on a Friday too. Everyone happy. Good steaks, good Moroccan lamb tagine and best ever veggie chickpea burger. Desserts went down well too. Glad we booked as this is quite small and very popular. Only ten minutes from Brompton Lakes where we were staying.

Visited The Heifer at Scorton whilst we were stopping at Brompton Lakes. There were six in our party, two of whom have mobility issues. This restaurant was very accommodating and was able to provide a table in the bar area close to the door and on the same level as the toilet facilities. The host provided a warm welcome with a little humour thrown in which we all appreciated. The 2 for £25 steak offer was taken up by two of us, my Dad chose the peppercorn sauce side with his ribeye and I chose the blue cheese sauce and onion rings to accompany my ribeye. The steaks were perfectly cooked and the chips were delicious, everything was really lovely and the blue cheese sauce was the best I’ve tasted. My Mum chose the pork, my wife chose the lamb rump from the specials board, my Father-in-law chose the fish and chips and my mother-in-law chose the duck and everyone was very impressed. Our visit to The Heifer was a great choice and we would all highly recommend it.

Chose here after looking at TA reviews. We were staying at Catterick Garrison Premier Inn overnight breaking our journey from Scotland to Norfolk and wanted somewhere good nearby to eat. The pub/restaurant in located overlooking the village green in Scorton .The food and service were excellent despite the place being busy. It was easy to find and only 15 minutes drive from Premier Inn.

The chef served up three excellent courses for our get together of 14 family members. The staff create a perfect atmosphere with their friendly, efficient and professional service. This was the first time we had visited this restaurant and we now plan to make regular return visits. We had a great time, thought the food was first class and thoroughly appreciated everything the staff did for us.

Found coming from Croft Circuit after a race weekend. First time was ok. Landlady ok. Food ok. Second time a disaster. Rude barman who made daft faces in front of friends. Not enough vegetables served. We were willing to pay. Were told they had run out?! A pub on a Sunday! All in all the barman let the place down. They didn’t seem to get customer service. Will not return and advise to give a wide berth unless you like to be insulted.

I'd love to give a better review as the food was lovely (great chips, tender steak), but unfortunately the evening was capped off by the waiter making a mistake with the bill, not apologising for it and making a snide comment accusing me of being cheap. I don't appreciate being belittled for what was just a simple mistake I was quite happy to laugh off. Highly unprofessional behaviour
