The Jackdaw B&B in Selby

Read about this in Camra Heritage Pub guide for Yorkshire and really glad to have checked it out. An untouched 1960s pub, with a proper landlady offering a warm welcome. Unusually has Sam Smith’s beers available, despite not being a Sam’s owned pub.

I LOVE the Jack Daw, visiting whenever I'm in the area. It's such a great, friendly, local pub - a nice atmosphere, comfortable seating, friendly service, traditional pub decor, really good selection of (Tadcaster, of course) beers, AMAZING food and great value! The food is really exceptional - the landlord takes real pride in serving good quality, tasty meat/ fish/ veg, very generous portions, quickly brought to your table with a smile. There's also a separate room with a pool table and a nice outside area. As well as activities/ events throughout the week (Bingo Tuesday anyone?! Live music?) If you're anywhere near Tadcaster, this is THE pub to visit. Everyone's welcome here - children, grandparents, even (well behaved) dogs. Come and experience a true taste of Yorkshire!

I was unsure about staying here at first but turned out to be amazing,locals were very welcoming 👌🏻 would definitely recommend

Very good for kids. Very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent prices

26 of us for mum and dads wedding anniversary and we could not fault it. Food was lovely and hot, quick and friendly service and the bar had everything you need. There were 2 more large parties after us but the service did not drop. Great beer garden with things for the kids. Well done Jackdaw and thank you for a great day!

Stopped here for a drink last weekend. Lovely pub with very friendly staff. Big play area for children. Cannot rate the rooms as I didn't stay. Would visit again

Good honest local. Staff & other customers very friendly. Off the beaten track but thoroughly enjoyed our visit

Well what can I say, such a warm welcome. The landlady Lil couldn’t do enough for me. Thank you so much for your hospitality. Such a pleasant change.

Came for Sunday dinner with my family and beef was absolutely to die for, 100% reccomend, staff were really welcoming and friendly aswell

We stayed at the B+B which is a caravan right next to the pub it was a horrible experience and I would not have wrote this review only my wife put a review on booking .com and the landlord decided to insult me so my good sir your caravan pans and utensils are filthy with grease, the bed was lumpy the hole site is a mess and if you think that's worth a £100 per night you live in a dream world your pub is nice which i said to you on the night of our conversation unfortunately you seam to have turned on me yet the review my wife wrote was as much to booking .com because they say you do food and you dont only in summer had we known that we would not have booked and if the booking was returnable i would have not stayed there the minute I set eyes on it.

Lamb was to die for!!! 100% recommend. Land lady and staff are amazing :) No better place for a Sunday dinner. Lovely and local which makes it better x

Absolutely amazing food! Get your moneys worth. Great service :) You can’t fault the staff, there super helpful and provide amazing service

Came for tea had steak pie and mash and gammon and chips it was spot on!!! Service was very good and a nice welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Would definitely recommend and will be visiting again.

Excellent food, all freshly made. Fantastic atmosphere, soul music. The steak and potato pie was to die for. The lanlord and landlady were so hospitable x

Had a great time on Friday Lill food outstanding. Nice to see people not seen in a long time. Especially you Lill. Thank you. Pat Franklin xxx

We came here this evening for the first time as it was a half way point between us and some of our foster sons family. From the minute we set foot in the door, we were very warmly welcomed by the two ladies there. They were incredibly accommodating, chatting to us regularly throughout our time there and socialising with our 3 children. The place itself had a good old fashioned pub vibe and was lovely and warm with the log burner going. Home cooked food was great and enjoyed by all 7 of us. Again staff were very helpful with the birthday cake. Relaxed and homely feel. Can’t recommend enough, will definitely return. Thank you very much. 😊

My sister and I stayed at The Jackdaw for 2 nights when attending a wedding nearby. Lovely big caravan, 2 bedrooms (1 double, 1 twin) 2 toilets and separate shower. Stayed self catering BUT with free breakfast - fridge was stocked with all you'd need for a full English breakfast!! Plus bread, butter, milk, tea, and coffee to get started. The owners, Lillian and Andrew are friendly as are the pub locals. We had Sunday lunch to finish our stay - beautiful, freshly cooked and large portions! A couple at a nearby table had dessert and shared one portion! We will definitely be visiting again! Thank you Lillian, Andy and staff for making our stay happy and relaxed.

Went for our tea and was amazed at the service and the actual amount you were given . everybody was so friendly and the landlady couldn't do enough Reasonable priced great experience will definitely go again

Brilliant pub! Great atmosphere, cracking pint and lovely land lord and lady! Super friendly place for us, the kids and the dogs!

Walked in from the cold to a lovely cosy pub with the wood burner being topped up regularly. Great crisp pint and the dog was treated like royalty, what’s not to like!

We went for Sunday dinner and as always the food was lovely hot and tasty, it was busy but all the staff had time for you and nothing was any trouble. I had the lamb and husband had beef and we both enjoyed our meal

Great Sunday dinner as always from Lill at the Jackdaw , Great choice of Meats all home cooked with great Yorkshire puddings and gravy eat in or take away.

Lovely, friendly, quirky pub. We went as a table of 9 and called before hand to let them know and they arranged the table for us. Everyone was really friendly and welcoming and the food was delicious, nice selection of meats (pork, beef and lamb) and amazing Yorkshire puddings!

Had Sunday lunch at the Jackdaw with my family. Wow Lil did not disappoint. Heard good things about this place and yes it definitely lived up. The lamb was so succulent and all sourced locally.
