The Horseshoe Hotel Restaurant in Scarborough

We visited for dinner when staying on the nearby Egton Estate and had a fantastic evening! The pub is beautifully and uniquely decorated. We had mushrooms and goats cheese for starter - the goats cheese is made locally and is the strongest goats cheese we've ever had - very tasty! For mains we had beetroot bourginon and pork belly and just as good as the starters. We met the chef (and owner) and he was lovely, as was the woman on the bar. We also visited the farm shop during the day and got some excellent cheeses, incredible pork pie and scotch egg, as well as some lovely gifts. We will be back and definitely recommend a visit!

One of the best Sunday Lunches in the Whitby area. So pleased Sunday lunches are back on the menu for Autumn . Fabulous roasties and of course Yorkshire pudding. Only disappointment was that we didn’t have room for pudding 🤨

Summer Tuesday lunchtime we were the only customers No lovely food from the smoker We have been here several times and were roundly disappointed today Loud and not especially friendly chat between the owner and the young bar man completely ruined our experience The only lunch options were sandwiches at £8 each Has this beautiful place lost its way?

We enjoyed lovely summer's evening here with drinks and food. The food truck was opening the following day, but we ordered from the menu and enjoyed our meals as the sun set. I opted for the goat curry - give it a try as it was amazing. Husband enjoyed a burgers and skin on fries. A lovely evening in the beer garden before wandering off for our bed!

Second visit in our motorhome and won’t be our last! A warm welcome from Frank the owner/chef. Food superb and service and ambiance is great. A wonderful selection of wines and real ales available. Pleasant and helpful staff and the added bonus of a beautiful farm shop in the grounds with lovely local produce on sale.

We always visit the Horseshoe when visiting this beautiful part of the world. We just love the decor and can never stop looking around. It’s warm and welcoming, delicious food and fantastic Gin selection 😋 Was great to talk to owner, Craig, about his experience on ‘Four in a Bed.’ Lovely guy, should have won in our opinion 😉 The Farm Shop is great too, home made selection of deliciousness! See you again soon

Stayed for two nights. Amazing place to stay . Dog friendly our greyhound was spoiled by the staff who are do friendly, Open fire , great choice of beers and the food was amazing. Will definitely stay again

Awesome Sunday lunch here. Greeted by the owners on arrival and presented with some great draft ales. Lots of choice for lunch. Between us we had lamb, pork and chicken. Unbelievable range of veg, all of it ace, especially the cauliflower cheese and roast potatoes. Not rushed at all, and finished with a nice dessert (plenty of choice). Please visit this place as it’s lovely and remote and I’d hate to see it close because of a lack of custom

Happened upon this hotel on trip up north- absolutely beautiful location and food way beyond our expectations. Friendly, roaring fire, great place.

This hotel is set in beautiful surroundings, The rooms could be cleaner but not too bad but the strange thing is after having a quiet drink with other guests a gang of young lads came in in about 6 cars and just took over the bar being very loud, The owner seemed to disappear and let the yobs rule the roost, very strange, A very nice breakfast just a shame about the yobs.

Excellent meal enjoyed in the warm and friendly bar. Roaring log fire, excellent ‘piggy platter’ sharing board which was huge, followed by game pie and sausages. Good service, friendly chef, so good we went back to the farm shop the next day to get more!

Second time we have been here. This time for my birthday weekend away/meal. Slightly different than last time in the summer, with the cooler weather putting some off from enjoying the large beer garden (at one point we had it to ourselves - very nice!). Didn't put us off, and we enjoyed several drinks in the afternoon, changed and then went into the pub, where there were roaring fires, and a friendly welcome. The dining room was lovely, staff were lovely, and the food and wine great. Venison stew for me and belly pork for husband, followed by basque cheesecake and treacle tart for dessert. We will be back again sooner, rather than later. Lovely location and fab food!

Myself and my partner came here for a Sunday Roast and it was the best Roast dinner I've ever had (eating out)! The service was incredible, super friendly waitress and bar man. We had tie scallops and black pudding starter, wow!!! Soooo tasty and cooked to perfection! I had the roast beef & my partner had the lamb. The meat was incredible and melted in your mouth! There was so much food on the plate, all served piping hot and with extra delicious gravy! Our dog was very welcome too. They have a very nice little farm shop too, with lots of dog treats. The whole atmosphere was perfect for us, a traditional Yorkshire pub with great service and food. I will definitely visit here again when we are next in the area! Highly recommend 👌

We booked for dinner and an evening stop over in our camper van. Cute casual bar and restaurant. Our dog was also made very welcome. Dinner was excellent . I had beetroot bourginon and my husband had venison stew. Had free stop over with EHU. Enjoyed breakfast too the next morning. It was a Monday night and was busy . Recommend booking. Staff friendly and efficient. Would definitely recommend.

Arrived on a Monday evening without a booking, with our dog, and were made so welcome, seated in the restaurant. Menu was full of food we would love to eat so we will have to return soon. Chose the Yorkshire Platter to share and every item on there was beautifully crafted. Pickled balsamic onions and home roasted tomatoes, delicious local cheese, Herby butter, home made bread with oil and vinegar dip, delicious charucterie, we are every scrap. We had food envy as other people's food arrived, the chicken leek and ham pie was a proper pie with pastry all around the filling!!!!!! The landlady told us she had made them, we wavered between ordering a pie meal instead of pudding but Bakewell tart and treacle tart, both amazing, won the vote. All staff were delightful and we can't wait to come back as 23 miles distance makes it almost our local. PS not many places in North Yorkshire serve food on Mondays so extra points for this too 👍👍👍👍

My friend and I arrived at The Horseshoe Hotel Farm Shop on Monday 3rd September on the penultimate stage of our Coast to Coast walk. We were to be staying at Grosmont overnight where no pub / restaurant food is available on Mondays. The two lovely people at the Farm Shop made us up a wonderful picnic for supper which was super tasty. Thank you! Note to C2C'ers - the farm shop is a great place to buy a picnic if you are staying in Grosmont on Mondays/Tuesdays (when no pub food options appear to exist in Grosmont).

What a hidden gem of a place, tucked away in the little village of Egton just outside of Whitby. Booked for an overnight stay with out motorhome, ( quite a large one), met on arrival by the landlord and a member of staff who helped rearrange the car park so I could get to the hook up. Food was brilliant and a very different style of menu. Outside toilets for during the night, an added bonus ! Heartily recommend to motorhome users but always pre book

We came here for the first time on the recommendation of friends who have been before. They joined us too, and we enjoyed drinks and food from the food wagon. We shared a duck and hoisin sauce pizza (Were Quackers) with a side of loaded fries (Don't Get Crabby). We were not disappointed with the quality of the food and came back the next day for lunch! I had a crab sandwich from the Farm Shop on site and husband enjoyed the hanging chicken kebab! Absolutely spot on! We stayed on site in our campervan and could not be more welcomed. Facilities were great and the staff were polite and friendly and we will be back in the very near future!

Decor was dark and african. The dinner menu was ok but not what you expect in a country inn. The staff were very helpful, even making fresh pork pies to take on our walk. The breakfast had plenty of choice and was excellent. It was a bit awkward getting caves upstairs. Lovely setting.

Lovely restaurant with a good choice of food on offer. We had our black lab with us and were invited to eat in the restaurant however we chose to eat in the bar as it was quieter. Very friendly staff, made us feel very welcome. Food was delicious, I had steak and my partner had the ribs. Treacle tart for dessert which was gorgeous! We stayed nearby and it was lovely to walk there going over the river on the stepping stones. Highly recommend this restaurant and would definitely visit again!

Such a beautiful stop over with our motorhome parked for the night, fantastic evening meal, a beautiful walk by the river in the morning and a farm shop full of goodies in the morning for breakfast. I couldn’t recommend this little place more highly 🤗

Visited the farm shop for coffee. Had a decaf cafetiere. Would've had Americanos but they didn't do decaf versions. Felt rushed by the woman serving who seemed anxious to be elsewhere, and she had no interest in engaging with our attempt at conversation. Coffee was very weak and our orange and poppy seed cake which was very dry. The gent's toilet in the pub proper was shocking, made up of rough wooden planking with a metal, bucket-like sink. If there was a light l certainly couldn't find it. Could be a great place if done properly and showing a little appreciation for their customers.

We chose to eat here for Sunday lunch given that it offered everything from sandwiches to pizzas to the full blown Sunday roast. This coupled with the fact that we've drank here several times and always enjoyed the ambience and the revamped interior. So a crab sandwich, a Fun Guy pizza and fries were chosen. The crab sandwich with small salad accompaniment was OK but at £13 your wouldn't expect anything less. The fries were fluffy, light and delicious. The pizza was however a let down. It was baked in the outside kitchen in the gas fired pizza oven but was cool when served and had a base more akin to a chapati than a pizza. Our strong suspicion was that the gas fired oven was fired up only for the duration of the bake and hence the interior of the oven wasn't at the required temperature to properly bake the pizza so that the ingredients bubblebin the heat as we prefer. The base was just thin, floppy and tasteless. Again the pizza wasn't cheap so we expected better. Having relayed our disappointment it was suggested that the pizza could have been reheated but surely this should be obvious as it's taken from the oven? We'll certainly be back for a drink but won't take up the food option again.

Very dog friendly, our Labrador puppy created his own fan club🐾❤️ Great atmosphere, bags of character, friendly and obliging staff and delicious meals! The farm shop is a great addition too. The black pudding scotch eggs are a taste sensation! A fantastic find & we...

Brilliant little place, very cosy with an nice open fire and a small bar. Dining room was lovely also with a lit open fire. Friendly staff and fantastic food on the evening and the breakfast was equally good. Will definitely be back for another stay.

Wonderful location nestled in the north Yorkshire national park. Lots of old world charm, open fires, beams and a fab gin choice. The staff were all so friendly, welcoming and helpful. Have eaten in the restaurant a number of times, but not stayed overnight before....

This place used to be a traditional Yorkshire pub but it's now trying to be a fine dining place. We preferred how it used to be. The menu is mainly meat, which is a bit strange for somewhere so close to the sea. I had...

Tried the new Sunday lunch at the Horseshoe. Good choice of Beef, Pork, Fish and Veggie option. We both had the roast rib of beef which was beautifully tender and cooked just to our liking. Lot of Yorkshire pudding as you would expect and lovely...

If you want a cozy hotel and restaurant that’s full of character and odd quirks, with excellent food; this is the place. Stayed 2 nights and sampled a fair bit of the menu. Excellent local produce used for the meals and spectacular breakfasts. Friendly waiting...

Needed a 1 night camper-van stopover and this place looked ideal. Booking was easy and arrival even easier. Had a meal that night, started with the shared pork belly platter which was fantastic with some of the best crackling ever. Followed by the local burger...

Visited this amazing quirky place twice whilst on holiday. Love it ❤️ Dogs made very welcome. Treat biscuits on the bar and even welcome in the restaurant!! Lunch was a ploughman’s so big and utterly delicious it filled the whole table! Evening meal was served...

Visited this well regarded hotel but came away disappointed. Firstly I must say that the food we received was actually quite tasty but the staff here do need some help. Firstly I ordered the pulled pork special which was listed separately below the special pizza...

Love the outside bar and gardens - and the cafe food is lovely. Been twice in the last week and on both occassions staff were rude and unwelcoming - such a shame. Two small pork pies from the farm shop - £6.00 - really ??

Excellent food definitely Michelin star quality best meal I’ve had this year- including a two week tour of France including 2 Michelin single star restaurants .Hand pulled beer good as well.

Excellent fine dining cuisine tonight here. The food was beautifully cooked & well presented. Whilst we were the only two (with Merlin, an elderly Shih Tzu) in the restaurant for most of the evening, the ambiance was lovely with background music & a roaring logfire....

We first found the horseshoe pub about 25 years ago quite different then to now. The food was outstanding. We have eaten in many Michelin star restaurants and I would say this is deserving of one. Beautiful crafted flavours imaginative presentation. The new owners have...

Our first time dinning at the Three Horseshoes and it certainly will not be our last. We have had lunch before in the garden which was lovely but dinner was on a different level. This is not your hearty pub meal with options of pie...

What a gem of a place! We were staying locally so booked in advance for dinner and were given a fine dining master class. We sat at the bar initially, as we had arrived early, and were served by an extremely friendly and polite barman....

We visited for dinner and had an outstanding meal. The menu is short but interesting; we skipped the starters and I had lamb; my husband had the day’s special of grouse. The lamb was beautifully tender and very well-presented with vegetables and jus (perhaps some potatoes would have been nice?). Afterwards I had cheese; my husband said his strawberry millefeuille was one of the best desserts he’d ever had. There was also excellent homemade bread and interesting amuse bouches (eg sous vide oyster). Price about £40pp for 2 courses plus a glass of wine - and well worth it.

The surroundings are brilliant but it stops there sadly. We just stopped for drinks but were told we could not use the toilets inside we had to go outside!If a lady asks what is an IPA I don't expect the staff to answer well its just an IPA! I took a drink back because it had a fly in it, the bar man replaced the bottle but didn't replace the glass with ice until I had to ask! Service needs to match the surroundings....

What can I say. The food was out of this world. Not to much choice but catered for all tastes. What a fabulous experience can't fault it

Grew up in the area and always visit this place when I come back to see family. We have always liked to go here for the tranquility of the place with running sound of water from the river in the background - used to be a lovely traditional pub inside with friendly bar staff. Not sure what’s going on here now for a few reasons the main one being the music outside from the outside bar is far too loud ! Please turn the music in the beer garden down if you really must have it on and review the friendliness of your bar staff.

We used to love this pub. However, the new owners are so up themselves and rude we won’t be returning. First impressions are good, there’s a lovely outside eating area and inside is candlelit creating a warm atmosphere. I only wish the same could be said for the owners. Outside is now plastic glasses only, which is a pet hate of mine, so we decided to stay inside. We ordered food at 5.45pm and asked if we could eat in the restaurant, but were firmly told, “no it’s fully booked”. Well maybe it was later I the evening, but at the time of asking it was completely empty. However, we didn’t want to make a fuss so we ate in the bar. To our surprise, a short time later, a customer walked in and asked to be seated in the restaurant. They were told, “certainly, but we need the table back for 7.30pm”. Then no more than ten minutes later exactly the same thing happened with another party, obviously our faces didn’t fit. I had the chicken Kebab, which was ok and my partner had, what turned out to be a very poor lobster dish with chips and a green salad. The dish wasn’t accompanied with a sauce, consequently it lacked imagination and taste. The meals were plonked down in front of us and we were left to sort our own cutlery out. We would have expected that someone would have called back to check on us to see if everything was ok, but no. Halfway though the meal we wanted to order more drinks, we had empty glasses in front of us but again no one came to the table, so I had to get up and go to the bar. We initially wanted to have desserts with the meal, but as the whole experience was going from bad to worse we decided to leave. We were not brought a bill, so again had to go to the bar to pay, we were told how much everything was and I paid, but when I asked for the bill I was told that they didn’t do one. However, as I need a VAT receipt the lady had to reluctantly go off and hand write one. All in all it’s a shame, because it’s a lovely pub, spoilt by amateur management and staff that didn’t have a clue.

We were doing a long walk, so thought we would pop in to the Horseshoe Hotel to get a quick drink. However, having seen the location and the menu, we stayed for a meal. It was fantastic. I had the seafood platter, which really would have served two and had everything on it. The bread served with it was homemade rosemary and sea-salt focaccia - and the whole trip would have been worth it for that alone (we came back in a car the next day and bought some more of it from the farm shop which they also run). Husband had steak and chips - which was also wonderful. They serve cocktails too, and sitting on the lawn drinking strawberry daiquiris, under the shade of tall mature trees, I felt like I was in heaven! Pity I was wearing my walking boots, and not a tea dress, but still! Thoroughly recommend.

Popped in here after a day out in Whitby as we fancied a early evening drink before returning to our holiday cottage.We walked down to the river, crossed the stepping stones and reached the Horseshoe.You can opt to walk by the road too.Large outdoor seating options available, with outside bar too.Only downside, if you order from outside bar, you are given plastic glasses, (not my favourite).Good choice of drinks available to suit everyone.We never ate, as we had already eaten in Whitby, but there is a bar and outdoor menu aswell as the restaurant menu.Overall a pleasant experience 

It is a while since I have been here, and great to see outdoor eating and farm shop set up. Easy for a casual stop for coffee or more, in very pleasant surroundings.

Awesome outside eating area. Delicious food, dairy free requirements catered for. Friendly staff, delicious food! Beautiful setting!

What a Chef! We really enjoyed our meal… high quality and beautifully presented. Great staff… a lovely evening

My son and I found this place by accident, but we expect to return soon!What a find. The food was perfect, service spot on and friendly.The surroundings were perfect for such a hot day, to be able sit outside in the shade with a fresh breeze was great.Well done to the owners and the staff for a great establishment

We visited for an afternoon pint in the day, and there was a really nice relaxed friendly atmosphere perfect for a drink after the local circular walk. We were booked in for dinner the same evening and it was honestly faultless. Lovely friendly staff, good drinks, excellent food. The staff were great at allergy advice for our dinner, and all dishes were beautifully presented and delicious! We had 3 courses and also a complimentary amuse bouche between each course which was a lovely touch. Thank you for making our mini break that extra bit special, we would reccomend this restaurant to anyone!

We spent a perfect time in the Horseshoe. In a lovely dinning room with a great atmosphere.The tasty and faultless dishes were perfect, a combination of local products and a precise knowledge of the ingredients made for the greatest food! I highly recommand dinning here.

Our first meal out for absolutely ages because of COVID-19, so I thought I’d book a table here, I couldn’t get in last time we were up here on holiday. The menu is delightful, the food really really delicious and presented very very well! I had smoked duck croquettes, my husband had lobster for starters, there was a prawn and satay amuse bouche (unexpected!)I had venison for my main which is the nicest I’ve ever had and my husband had the lamb cooked lovely and pink, then a fabulous pre dessert (unexpected again!) of a Black Forest mousse which I would have happily eaten for my dessert choice, I chose the lemon tart with pine nut ice cream, scrumptious! and my husband had hazelnut and chocolate bombe, think Ferraro Roche with malt ice cream, also scrumptious! We had coffee with very rich petit fours (I’ve had to take them home, I couldn’t just leave them!) With 3 glasses of wine,1 Prosecco and 2 pints of beer, the bill came to under £130, now I’ve paid over double that in Birmingham and haven’t been anywhere near impressed. I shall definitely be coming back here to try more of their delicious food, I wasn’t expecting such high quality of ingredients and presentation,keep it up! Oh and the staff were great too!

Fantastic food, good to see the full menu on offer. Lovely friendly staff and pleasant beer garden. Would definitely recommend.

We arranged to meet some friends, first time out in a year. We ordered coffees which took an age and were then delivered rudely without a smile or any eye contact. Food was choice was very limited with, surprisingly, no gluten free options. Though everyone did that these days. When the food was delivered, by the owner, he just shouted out what was in his hands and plonked it down in front of us. Our table was never cleared and we would have eaten cake with platters still all over our table but for us moving everything ourselves.We were embarrassed to have suggested meeting here and will not do so again. Owners need to realise that when you are in front of the public, whatever is going on behind closed doors, you slap on a smile and make people feel welcome

Don't usually leave reviews for things but feel on this occasion it's warranted. This was our second visit since 2020 when it changed to new owners. The first time last year we came with friends and ordered food which took nearly 2 hours to arrive as they had lost our order. Giving them a second chance we tried the food again, following lockdown. We were with friends who waited 30 minutes for their food to arrive but we had to wait a further 40 minutes for ours. Even though we ordered at the same time. So they had finished their meal before ours had arrived. Seeing their food lowered our expectations as their kebabs were clearly burnt black. Chargrilled/BBQ style food we realise may be slightly charred but their food looked basically very burnt.When our burgers arrived, after a long while waiting, my beef burger meat was even more burnt, tasted burnt and covered with mayonnaise to disguise. Had to scrape half of the burger away to make it edible. Didn't want to send it back as it was already so late and we were famished. Also didn't think much of the burger buns which were purposefully coloured black (which no-one thought was very appetizing!), but understand it was to be original and to be trendy and they tasted ok. But for £28 that we paid for two average burgers with chips, garnish and coleslaw it was pretty disappointing. On a more positive note is the beautiful country setting and beer garden in the sunshine is very popular following lockdown.(See photo)

Well worth a visit - we went based on location and recent reviews and very glad we did. Good covid processes in place. Food was superb, particularly the sirloin steaks and peppercorn sauce. The puddings were very generous portions! Overall, great service, really tasty food and fairly priced. Will definitely go back when next in the area.

This was our 4th visit this year, and is one of favourite pub stops for us in our motorhome. Tony and his son Craig will make you very welcome, the food is 1st class with the steaks as tender as anywhere I've eaten before. Excellent selection of hand pulled local beers and a very good wine menu. We stayed with friends who booked into the hotel and their fabulous breakfast ️. Highly recommended.

Visited in September when the weather was nice enough to sit outside. Had a lovely lunch in the fabulous gardens, outdoor bar, great chilled music and tasty sandwiches. Loved it.

Go there! The food is hearty plentiful, and there is a good selection to choose from. The open fireplace is relaxing and sets a great scene. I particularly liked the use of the repurposed gin bottles for the candles on the tables. Nice touch! The rose gold cutlery and condiments were a nice touch tooAs were the wooden serving platters. The staff are polite welcoming and courteous. The hotel deals with Covid in an excellent manner. I very much recommend this place to eat.

This is my second visit and I would still highly recommend. We had roast dinner and the meat was lovely. The gravy was a little salty though, which didn't help with my Wife's who had the nut roast which was also salty so she got a double whammy.

Superb fresh food menu no processed food well worth a visit new owners maintains excellent food standards Excellent meat had the 16 ounce T Bone steak cooked to perfection fresh chips are excellent salad crisp and fresh .presantation 5 stars I highly recommend this restaurant and country pub Hotel

I've eaten here 3 times recently (twice in restaurant and once outside for bbq) The food and drinks were always nice, and it's a lovely place to sit outside on a warm evening. I recommend.

We went for drinks in the garden here. It was easy to socially distance given the outside wooden bar they have installed. Service was prompt and friendly. The mojito I had was perfect! Very impressive for a fairly small country pub! So much so we decided to book a meal and so we popped back the next day for a family meal. Service was again good and all the meals delicious, creative and substantial. Liked the emphasis on local ingredients too and plenty of options. There was even a vegan main option which was good for one of our party. We had a lovely time. Definitely recommended.

Just had a visit to one of our old favourite pubs, the Horseshoes. My first thought was, had there been a fire. The ceiling looked as though it had been scraped ( hope it is just a base coat) wall painted in gold, old useful and beautiful furniture mostly gone, weird animal skins on backs of some chairs.Whoever designed this must have used there own wierd personal taste, forgetting you must cater for the many if you want to attract people.All the locals seem to be drinking at the postgate. Local regulars are your bread and butter during bad weather conditions Sorry would not be back. Heart has been ripped out in my opinion.

We stayed at Broom House in Egton. We had already eaten in Whitby earlier on when we arrived, but thought a drink locally would be a nice way to end the day. Luke and Brianne (owners of Broom House) suggested a lovely walk. We walked by the river, crossed at the Stepping Stones and was in the Horseshoe Hotel.There was a lovely bar set outside in the garden and tables scattered across the big lawn. We sat underneath a large tree taking in the beautiful gardens. All other tables were busy with couples and families, some with dogs and some without. There was a lovely relaxed atmosphere and everyone was very friendly... we talked across to some of the other people at the other tables. We ordered the Pork Sharing Platter as we felt a little hungry... it was very tasty and just what we needed. My boyfriend enjoyed the beer and I had a lovely gin and tonic. We could not fault the Wheatsheaf Inn and would recommend it.

Came here as it had outdoor seating and heart warming pub food. Ordered the burger and the ribs along with 2 pints of Yorkshire bitter. The restaurant was really covid compliant and the service was fantastic. The seating is lovely and you can really take in the relaxing nature of the moors. There's even an outdoor bar if you don't want to go indoors.

Having reviewed this restaurant as wonderful over the last few years what a sad day to go back. The fact that the superb Sunday roasts have been replaced by a hugely disappointing BBQ was bad enough to warrant a review in its own right. However, having then stated as such to the barmaid, to then be rebuked by the owners in a confrontational manner is completely unacceptable. When pointing out what was wrong the lady owner clearly became irritated by our comments. To finally say go we don’t need your custom. What a shame having visited so many times on a Sunday under the old owners it was packed and always had to book in advance. Speaks volumes we counted only 5 tables at 1.30 on Sunday lunchtime.

We had a wonderful family meal here. Food was top class. We had lobster, steak, scallops, sea bream and couldn't fault it. There is no childrens menu but the staff were so helpful in being flexible with the options available. Wine and beer also great with a good spirit choice.

Best meal of our holiday, clean plates all round! great for kids, meat lovers, seafood lovers, veggies and vegans. One not to be missed and to top it off great service. A place not to be missed and we will be back!

During a 7 mile round trip from Glaisdale to Grosmont, stopping off at the Horse Shoe was a well needed pit stop. With no hesitation, we decided to sit outdoor in a well spaced out beer garden. With relaxing music and the smell of a hog roast, it was the perfect place to enjoy our first ‘post lockdown’ pint. We always felt safe and at ease with the friendly staff and the well thought out social distancing. The money and effort that has also gone into the toilet facilities and outdoor area is fantastic and is very much acknowledged and appreciated. After several enjoyable drinks we had to motivate ourselves to walk back to Glaisdale. Thank you for a lovely afternoon x

Loved this hotel where we stayed for 5 nights.Such a friendly welcome.The hotel has recently been beautifully refurbished throughout. Clean comfortable room with a brilliant shower! The food is excellent, locally sourced and freshly cooked with a Sunday lunch to die for. Will definitely stay again

Staying in Egton Bridge for short holiday we decided to visit the Horse Shoe Hotel for dinner this evening. I had the smoked salmon, prawn, horseradish cream, with lime and rocket. A delightful and light starter before my main course of Steak and kidney pie served with mashed potatoes, kale and heritage carrots. Our server recommended wine, which was indeed very good easy drinking. It is a good while since I have enjoyed a meal out as much and I would recommend it to anyone who visits the area. I understand that it has recently been taken under new management and I wish them every success. The service was friendly and helpful, my five years old grandson was welcomed. The ambiance was relaxed and we enjoyed our evening.

The hotel has just been renovated and taken back to its original glory and furnished to suit. Open fire in all three areas. Extremely friendly welcome and we will definitely return. Our lunch was butternut squash soup, steak and kidney pie, chicken skewers, and vegan burger. All delicious and served beautifully. Chocolate brownie and ice cream to finish.Peaceful setting and then a stroll around the village.Perfect way to celebrate a birthday.

We stayed here in our Motorhome over the weekend for 2 nights, owners were very welcoming and friendly and made us feel at home from the minute we phone to make a booking till we left. We ate and drank in the pub which on a cold winter day was perfect to get warm. The beer is well kept and the food was home cooked, on the Sunday both my wife and I have the Lamb which was served with Yorkshire Pud , mash, roasts and 5 different Veg.....Perfect. The area has loads of walks and a train stop to Whitby so there is plenty to enjoy. Great stay, great location and great REAL country pub

We were having a day out around the area and choose this place for our Sunday lunch after checking out Trip Advisor and have to say we weren’t disappointed. From the minute we set foot in the bar and the friendly welcome we received from the staff behind the bar to the minute we left, the visit was very pleasant.We ordered a soup, which was mushroom, and a garlic mushrooms for starters and both were very nice, decent portions and accompanied by fresh bread and butter.For mains my wife chose the chicken and I the beef. Again both were excellent and accompanied by a large Yorkshire pudding, which tasted freshly made, a wide selection of vegetables, again which all tasted freshly prepared, and a large gravy jug.The staff weren’t slow in asking whether everything was okay and also offering additional veg and gravy.Overall a great Sunday lunch and we wouldn’t hesitate to return when in the area.

Another fantastic meal at the Horseshoe. All three of us had beef, everything was perfect and plenty of it. Washed down with some lovely Rioja.

The place has atmosphere and a fine location; the food (we ate in the bar) is OK but nothing to write home about -- we had scampi and chips and salmon with (too many) vegetables, which were both perfectly edible but rather humdrum.

Called here after being let down in two previous pubs as we had the dog with us. Very friendly staff and the food was delicious. Would highly recommend

We've visited here a few times, both for a quick sandwich and a drink as well as an evening meal in their restaurant. Food is always delicious and the service is so friendly and everyone is welcoming. Highly recommended!

The Horseshoe inn without fail provides a fantastic Sunday dinner served with an excellent atmosphere. Which, goes hand in hand with the warm welcome and family feel setting. The outside seating is also worth a visit on its own. Highly recommend

Friendly service and would really recommend the food as honest pub grub. Had the wild mushroom chicken with chips and peas that was very tasty.

An Absolute great find everything was fantastic had the Lamb and was to die for best ever - service was very good too and was given time to order

Hubby & I enjoyed dinner here on our last night in Egton Bridge. We had a wonderful meal and loved the friendly feel of the bar (where we ate). I had the vegetarian goats cheese & caramelised onion tart which was fantastic. Clearly made in house it was light and delicious with a fabulous salad. Hubby had the chicken with a mushroom & tarragon sauce with extra vegetables which he throughly enjoyed.

Booked last minute and got a table in dining room. Been frequently and it never disappoints. Best ever lamb shoulder, perfect vegetables and plenty of extra gravy. Good service. Have recommended to numerous family and friends. Long may it continue.

Old hotel set in a beautiful valley, with river Esk tributary flowing through the back garden. Lovely maintained gardens. Six letting bedrooms. We had no. 3, overlooking the front garden, which I think was probably the best. Bed linen was clean, as was everything in the public rooms, except for the carpet, which was grubby. Not too surprising, since the hotel is a stop off point for walkers doing the coast to coast walking trail. However, this bedroom was very tired and needed a coat of paint, and some attention to the door lock, which is falling apart. That said, the food is excellent, and enough to feed Desperate Dan. Can't fault the staff, who are very friendly and helpful. Good luck to the new landlady.

Stopped here for dinner on our Coast to Coast walk. By this stage we had eaten out for many nights and this would have to have been one of the best. Quality fresh ingredients, professionally presented and at a good price with friendly staff. Congratulations to the Chef!

The Horseshoe Hotel was recommended to us, we decided to have a drive out in the North Yorkshire moors and call for lunch, we were warmly welcomed upon arrival and shown to our seats and ordered out drinks and food, we had starters (garlic mushrooms and tempura prawns) they were gorgeous. Then we had our mains, chicken with wild mushroom and garlic, it was outstanding. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and will definitely be returning in the future

Went in on a Tuesday night in May without a booking - I was surprised how busy it was. It's clearly popular with locals but actually that gave it a nice atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and we got a table. I ordered the steak and ale pie. I have an issue with pies in bowls with a pastry lid, to me thats a stew. Having said that it gorgeous, rarely have I had so much meat in a 'pie'. They were also happy to chop and change the potato and veg options. Overall I was really really impressed and would recommend - book though to avoid disappointment!

After having a great night out here a few years ago whilst doing the C2C, I returned with my wife for a three-day stay in nearby Keeper’s Cottage, and we ended up dining here on two consecutive nights. The pub is delightfully set off a loop in the road, with the green in the middle forming the pub’s beer garden. The pub itself is a typical low-ceiling Yorkshire hostelry with a really cosy feel, they had three real ales on - all well kept - and the steak and ale pie was perfect. It’s pub grub, but all beautifully home made, including very tasty double-cooked chips. Not a microwaved ready meal in sight.

Stopped by to rest my legs from the local hills. A great selection of food and beer is available. I went for the mozzarella and roasted red pepper panini. Delicious as was the pale ale the same name as the pub. A special thank you goes the bar staff for making me feel very welcome and allowing me to stash my bike round the back. Fabulous.

Enjoyed a lovely evening meal with great food, lovely staff and spiffing wine, oh and my lovely wife, before an overnight stay, Recomendedtoanyone.

We booked the day before for Sunday lunch. They were busy and said they could find us a table in the bar. That was a great place to be. We received a lively welcome from owners and vat staff alike and had the choice of 3 hand pulled ales.

Stayed at this hotel last night, and was more than happy. The rooms were clean, with lovely toiletries and soft towels. A huge amount of coffee, tea etc. in the room.

Lovely clean dining area with great staff. Ordered sunday lunch which was good, the meat was fantastic and plentiful. Veg was cooked to perfection but lacking in flavour. I am extremely picky though. Treacle sponge was fantastic and not to sweet.

Eaten here on a sunday lunchtime on many occasions, had the beef, lamb etc, service great, and the meal is fantastic, we are locals and visit this pub for the lovely warm welcome and meals and service go you will enjoy.

We stayed for two nights and enjoyed an exceptional evening meal at this very hospitable inn. The food was nothing short of perfect and the staff were very attentive. The friendly welcoming owner deserves recognition for running this establishment. There's not a lot to add other than the breakfast was superb, nothing too much trouble and the relaxing setting watching the free range chickens made the break even more enjoyable. Thank you!

We had pre booked a table for 4 for Sunday lunch in October. We had been told that it gets booked up early as it is so good! Indeed while we were there they were turning people away because they were fully booked. The dining room is old fashioned in decor but matches the rest of this quaint country pub/hotel so don’t let that put you off.

Had a couple of nights away at this hotel , lovely place and the food is fabulous. The staff are so friendly and nothing is to much trouble ,p. Will be back .

I have been here twice. Excellent food and atmosphere both times. Gluten free and Peanut free diets were catered for when we spoke to the staff.

We followed reviews for a great Sunday Lunch place whilst staying near Whitby. Reviews so right we had the best meal with great sized portions. My grandson chose sausage and mash and ate every bit followed by the largest dish of ice cream. We all had various roasts all fantastic followed by a home made dessert. What a great find and reasonably priced. A great place to go but book first to get into the restaurant. Thank you to all wonderful helpful staff. Really enjoyed our visit.
