The Mended Drum in Hambleton

Great friendly pub with fab food! Enjoyed the burgers, they were scrumpy! Thank you for making my wife's birthday a lovely night -

Excellent service, excellent food. Staff really pleasant, chatty and just lovely. Rearranged furniture to accommodate 93yr old mum seating requirements. Food was great (3 pano, 1 Kiev burger 1 special) fresh and very tasty. Good selection of wine and Golden Ale well kept. A lively evening, thank you.

A fabulous friendly welcome greeted us on arrival. The food was delicious and plentiful and the staff were brilliant. The ale drinker praised the quality and choice so we were all catered for.

So I’m fairly regular here and the food is usually ok , however tonight the rude barmen Alex said they were doing food but I had to wait 40 mins as that is how the tables worked . Nobody else was eating atvtge time and the later larger tables hadn’t pre ordered (I was sat next to one and could see the other).. He then refused to acknowledge me, the other bar person 5 mins later asked for my order. I ordered the usual dirty Barbie burger and Kyiv fries, both were soggy, tasteless and way below usual standards. The burger had what I can only describe as a piece of meaty string in it and the fries were just unpleasant. Maybe a bad night but puts me off returning

The best vegan/vegetarian burger I’ve tasted and I’ve been a veggie for 40 years! It was amazing! Had to use a knife and fork to eat it as there was so much filling.

A lovely, friendly pub. Very welcoming, great atmosphere and lovely staff. Good range of beers, ciders and spirits. We will be back!

We were staying in huby to visit the York Xmas markets, booked a table for our evening meal and it didn’t disappoint ! The pub had a lovely cosy feel staff were lovely and friendly ,what can I say about the burgers and fries and cookie desserts really big portions and tasted so nice the best burger we have ever had ! Would highly recommend thank you

Starter came out fairly quickly and was amazing but the mains took over one hour 20 minutes after this, also came out semi warm and some items cold and had to be sent back.

I had the best burger I have ever tasted a Louisiana hot mess I will travel from Sheffield to there every week for one incredible pub amazing food 5 stars

Fantastic food. Nothing more needs saying. Great selection of ales and other beers too. We were staying in the village and didn’t fancy cooking so we paid a visit. Not disappointed at all we will be back.

This pub is absolutely brilliant, my best friend and I went in for a drink and some food and it was amazing. A great pub with really friendly staff and owners. The food was out of this world! I would highly recommend to anyone passing through or staying in Huby to pop in.

The food here is absolutely fantastic we have been several times and it never fails to impress us with the food offering and portion size there is also a great range of beers and spirits and Lisa,Ricky and the team are always very welcoming

Well this was a really fantastic happy accident, we were going on a few days break with our Son& our Daughter in Law and stopping in a Hotel near by. So we were looking for a pub near by to have some food and we happened on this place. Boy oh Boy was that our bit of good luck. The place from the outside looks like your everyday pub and its the same inside, but it is a a Burgers lovers delight the menu is quite small but if you are after stunning burgers get there quick. My Son and I had the Pig- inator check the menu its easier Wife had the dirty barbie and the Daughter in Law had the clucking pig. Again check the menu its easier we also added the fries the piggy fries and the kiev fries. Oh my goodness it was just so delicious the best way to describe it is by posting the pictures, because I couldn't do it justice. We were so so full at the end we just waddled out. Check it out, try it out, it is worth it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Best burger I have ever had and incredible portion sizes. The menu was absolutely superb with so much choice and flexibility. Sadly no room for pudding. Really friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere. We will definitely be returning. Thank you. What an absolutely great place! We’ve found our favourite pub!

We used to caravan nearby. Took friend for her birthday. steak best ever, all food excellent. Being a Terry Pratchett lover its a must

Having been before a long time ago and seeing the Mended Drum advertising food we ventured out! We were welcomed and quickly seated on arrival. Drinks were served whilst we decided what to have from the menu. We all decided on Parmo's which arrived and they were excellent! We didn't have desserts, but there were some tempting choices! The bill arrived and was very reasonable considering the food and drinks. Will definitely be returning soon!

Randomly found this pub via a quick web search when staying in the area. It's a bit messy and not that appealing walking from the car park to the main entrance but don't be put off! It's simply decorated with friendly staff and a real fire plus dog and kid friendly. But it's the beer and the food you come for. Really good beer choices (some cask and keg) and fabulous food - meat eaters, veggies and vegans well catered for with great range of burger options. Probably the best vegan burgers we've ever had and good value too.

Food was delicious, service was supeb the pub had a good warm atmosphere will definately visit again when in the area.

Popped in for a drink whilst in Huby and the place looked lovely! The food coming from the kitchen looked very nice so will try next time we’re there x

This is a really great pub, excellent real ale's, staff are brilliant, friendly great service.food very good. Book a table if you plan on eating, we did, Friday evening...it was packed.. great atmosphere.. great time... well done..

No food being served inspite of board outside saying food served. Inside not great . Dark & grubby. We asked for bottle of wine almost payed but asked for food menu, to be told no food served today. We was almost sat with a bottle of wine & no tea lol nothing on the bar to say no food being served. We left proceeded to go left & found a gem of a pub with a beautiful restaurant are delicious food & staff

We stayed in a Motel a 3 minute walk away from this pub and so glad we visited. We booked a table in advance for 2 adults one child and as soon as we arrived the staff were friendly and welcoming. Our table was ready and there's a massive choice of drinks to choose from. The food was great value for money and absolutely gorgeous. If your staying anywhere near here then I advise you to drop in and have a pint or two and most definitely order some food. Thanks for your hospitality and if we are ever going to York again we will definitely book a table.

Great find this pub, delicious fair priced food ,will say there are a lot of burgers on the menu though we had the steak ale pie ,cooked to perfection,we had to book a table after phoning , so glad we did , lovely atmosphere and...

Brilliant local - plenty of keg/cask choices, great street food (loads of veggie and vegan choices) and the most amazing quiz.

Very good traditional pup, great atmosphere, food not served the night we went. Drinks were average price staff were very friendly and welcoming

Lovely food, friendly locals, very dog friendly, fitted us in on a busy Friday evening, staff were great. Really recommended.

called here for food but even though they were really busy they managed to fit us in. We were not disappointed, the burger was unreal with the beef burnt ends, and I had the parmesan with steak and mushroom which was to die for. Having...

A really enjoyable evening with a great selection of Ales, and great food, not your traditional fare of microwave meals but something had the Chicken Parmo with Shredded pork which was excellent but lots of choice and cooked freshly. Large portions definitely worth a visit.

The pub is very friendly we visited it twice and it was always fairly busy, it has a large outside seating area for food and drinks. We ate in the Pub on Friday evening and the staff were very friendly and helpful especially Lisa who...

Fantastic food, great staff and all round great atmosphere. Everyone is made to feel welcome and they sell some great gins and beers. Looking forward to drum Fest they went above and beyond during lockdown to look after customers with Fantastic takeaways.

This place was highly reccomended. Sadly it failed to live up to expectations. Its basically burger or bust. While it was reasonably priced the burgers were at best, OK. The staff were good but we waited nearly 90 mins for out food and itvwasmtvexactky busy....

This is a querky pub selling an excellent variety of burgers and is a very popular place. the service was excellent and staff very polite, efficient and friendly.

At first it was difficult to figure out if the pub was dog friendly as none of the info I could find mentioned our 4 legged friends. However I did get a quickish respone to a message I sent and we headed off from our...

Not to be missed if you are in the area Looked on TripAdvisor night before our stay at nearby Burn hall hotel and saw good reviews and a interesting menu ,we were not disappointed great food fantastic selection of beers ,the staff are brilliant the...

Worth a visit if you are in the area. They have a couple of very interesting beers and the food is of a very good standard. The staff are incredibly welcoming and I will return when I am next in the area.

Visited on Saturday whilst staying nearby at Cheeky Chicken Cottage campsite and was very impressed. Wasnt expecting much from a local pub just expected traditional simple pub meals but me and my husband had the southern fried chicken burger and the hunters burger with dirty...

What an amazing Sunday roast with a twist...the local beef was melt in the mouth and what a fantastic selection of vegetables..don't miss this next Sunday as your preferred takeaway destination during Lockdown

New Years Eve Takeaway ... wow first time trying and it was amazing . Not disappointed at all . Ordered online and collected at 8pm . Excellent service and Food . We will be back . Thank you

We took a taxi from a nearby hotel and glad that we did. The service was great and the food exceptional with a varied choice. Good value

Excellent food, beer and atmosphere. They were very organised in terms of COVID restrictions. Food was very good. Would definitely visit again!

The ‘Talk Dutty to me’ Burger, Oh my word! Move over Shake Shack (NYC), there’s a new kid on the block!

We are actually staying in York so we managed to get the last bus to Huby but needed the taxi back. Anyhow back to the pub. Must even in these trying times the staff were very helpful and efficient. A good range of real ales. As for the food we shared a platter of sushi. Mains I had beef and ale pie with veg and chips and a lovely meaty gravy. TOH had a pizza which had ham and mozzarella and honey. Both dishes were lovely and very tasty. Must say well worth a visit. I hope the photo do the food justice.

Turned off by the lack of vegetarian choice (vegetarian option: 'take it or leave it') at the nearby Burn Hall Hotel, we found this local gem. Enthusiastic and welcoming host and staff and a menu to enthuse over / enquire about. Could wish the music in the kitchen was less intrusive to the dining area, however ...

Ate here mid-week and had a great meal with two other couples. The menu was extremely varied and all our choices were super. The staff were incredibly friendly and did their utmost to help us to have a lovely experience. Would certainly recommend it.

Really good. Most mains £10 . Burgers, pizzas and specials and a few desserts. Plenty of vegan choices tooRange of craft beers available but we were boring and had wine. Garden outside with lots going on.Worth booking but I think they would find you a table and squeeze you inWarm welcome and nice people.RecommendedPs Loved the Lamb Kebab

We ate there on the first night when we stayed at the burn hall hotel. Staff were friendly, professional and a credit to the pub. Alice that served us was a perfect host, and hubby had a lovely choice of gins to try. The outside seating are was nice as well especially as it was a warm evening. We will be back

Best Saturday night out since the end of lockdown. Caesar Salad with a twist was superb. My husband had Duck and cherries and he thought the same. Service with a cheery smile what more can you want. It's also beer heaven.

We had eaten there on two nights, while staying at a nearby hotel and on both nights, the fabulous food and (very) generous portions were matched by the terrific service. So reasonably priced, too.

Welcoming, and a good real ale selection, albeit served at lager like temperature, which somewhat spoiled them. The food here is inventive and exceptional, I had the Yorkshire Pudding, and my wife had the more mainstream steak pie; both were delicious. Wish it was my local!

We’ve dined at The Mended Drum multiple times in the past and have been blown away each and every time. Superb food and service at a reasonable price. The specials are definitely worth a trip!

Only visited during recent stay in Burn Hall. Food and service fantastic. It's a shame that the recent climate have curtailed the pubs ambitions. One for the future, we will definitely be back

Visited the Mended Drum 8th & 9th Aug. Whilst staying at Burn Hall Hotel. Friendly staff well organised due to Covid restrictions & very nice setting.

Visited yesterday and enjoyed our visit. Shared nachos for starter and then we had various mains (chicken, burger, pie and goujons) ings were delicious! Staff were great! People with me were a little cold but we think the doors were open due to Covid safety which is understandable. Worth a visit!

If youre searching the local area for a cool place with really naughty food and lovely staff stop im going to save you some time and say stop looking and just ring and book right now. I seriously have looked on Rightmove to see if I can afford a house in Huby since we returned from our weekend away when we went to The Mended Drum on the Saturday and Sunday night! Its that good! For starters, the place is really well set up to keep you safe during the "current situation"; there is a QR code to scan on arrival so they can contact you if anything occurs, tables are very well spaced, there is a one way system and every table has its own bottle of sanitiser. They have converted the rear carpark to an out door bar (made from pallets and a surfboard), there is plenty of outdoor seating and a couple of gazebos with outdoor sofas and they even had a fire pit lit on saturday! The staff are all super polite and friendly ; we didnt know which beer to try so the landlady brought over a tray 5 to try! I was able to pick from a few great vegan options that werent just token offerings but super epic! The vegan burger is insane and i also tried the asparagus pizza on the sunday. We were able to fill our 3 1/2 pint beer growler to take away at the end and they also have some tetra pack 2 pint takeaway containers too. The landlady even duct taped the top shut and put it in a bag for us as we needed to take it away on a bike. We would be there all the time if it were a bit nearer and would 100% go back if we were in the area, possibly even build a weekend away around being close! Massive amazing burgers and a great choice of proper beer, I would build a house of sticks in their beer garden and they would have to evict me

Not many places are doing different kinds of takeaway around us, so this was a great find! Had a range off the menu (burgers/pizzas/chicken gyros) and everyone was very happy. Portions were great, all the quality was excellent, and prices were good too. Love seeing different specials each week so that you don't have to have usual pub food (great pub food at that though). Will defintiely be back!

Just returned from a visit to Huby and found this little gem of a pub. The food was excellent and the staff were so friendly and informative, nothing was too much trouble.We will definitley pay another visit when we are in the area.Soon I hope !

Had a wonderful meal here Friday evening. Very pleasant and warm atmosphere as you would expect in a country pub. Service was first class. will definitely eat there again

Went for an early evening meal as we were staying at the nearby Best Western Burn Hall Hotel and wanted a change of venue. Friendly welcome, it was not too busy but seem to have a nice atmosphere. Ordered off the early bird menu. The food arrived fairly promptly, however the chilli con carne and rice was cool and did appear cooked. When pointed out this was soon sorted and replaced with a hot meal. However by this time my wife was a good way through her meal. May consider returning when in the area again.

May be biased but this little gem is so worth a visit. The atmosphere is good with a lot of locals making it a home. The food is bloody lovely and the range of beers is to die for. Rikki and Lisa make this place special and they listen to what the customers want with regards to beer and food. What’s not to like

The pub itself is welcoming, warm lovely coal fire, atmosphere was vibrant. We were a party of 8 adults and 8 children. The kids were hungry so we ordered 8 portions of chips to the tune of £28 quid £3-50 a portion!! The chips came out in what I can only describe as a small cup with no handle!!! I counted my daughters chips there were 14 that’s working out at 25p per chip!! I’m not tight by any means but away that was absolutely absurd. I Asked them to justify he couldn’t and simply told me that was the price due to overheads. The chips weren’t even home made!! What had been a good day ruined due to greed.

With such good reviews we were keen to try out the broken drum. Really not our scene. The place has a feel of the old working men’s club. Food only just average and definitely overpriced for what it is

Popped in to the mended drum the other night with my wife and got chatting to Rick the landlord who shared his knowledge and passion for real ale with us. Had a couple of lovely real ales whilst passing an hr or so away. This village is lucky to have such an enthusiast working here and trying to bring different ales and lagers to the visitors/locals. If you are wondering whether to pop in for a pint then do so as pubs like this need your support.

Visited here on 29th Oct 2019. This pub is in a village that takes celebrating very seriously as they were celebrating Halloween. Carved pumpkins everywhere glowing in the dark and the streets full of parents and children enjoying themselves, most in fancy dress. The pub is the meeting place for all and appears to be well supported. The food menu is as expected for a pub, good solid food with the addition of the 'Specials Board'. The food was tasty and hearty, good selection of normal brands of drink plus selection of real ales. A good pleasant evening was had by us both and, if in area again, would definately visit again.

We travelled from Hull to celebrate my forthcoming birthday, we last visited the pub 3 years ago and enjoyed it then.... Well what a fantastic night, a lovely greeting from the landlord and staff, great selection of real ales, excellent pool table and a superb steak meal. The atmosphere in the Mended drum is second to none warm and extremely friendly.. Well done.. A lovely night.

Called in unplanned with family visiting from out of town. Although after regular Sunday lunch hours we were easily accommodated and welcomed.

wonderful service and ingteresting menue and a great atmosphere. the food was great and good size portions.

Fab place. Very friendly and efficient staff. Food is fabulous- mammoth portions! Seriously over ordered and had to ask for rest to take home- done That’s lunch sorted. I had the veggie fries and garlic mushrooms. Gorgeous. The spicy/chilli sauce was just right.

Fantastic food, great price, all 7 of us very well fed. Dont get the loaded fries and a burger on your own! (pic is after some fries have already gone too)

This was our first visit and won't be the last. To me this is how a village pub should be,nice and cosy.Real ale,very friendly staff and great quality food at sensible prices.Shame I was driving as I'd have enjoyed trying the beers on offer.

Great pub which has some of the best beers around and great food . But the best bit are the host Ricky and Lisa and not forgetting Tom always a great welcome

This local village pub has a fantastic restaurant within. Great Staff from the very top and it shows. This team are very very good at their jobs. Had meals there two nights on the bounce, both were an extreme pleasure to eat. The chef's know how to cook great food. They also use fresh quality not frozen vegetables & meat, that makes the difference as you can taste.

Came in for a meal and found it was steak night. The wife not being a steak eater now I scoffed both the steaks myself. Really friendly staff, great service and would recommend it to anyone.

It is a friendly pub & we were there for a meal on the night the England Ladies football team beat Norway out of sight. Good ambience therefore all round.

the Sunday meal was best I have had real well cooked and perfect meal beef was to die for veg was in season and nothing out of a bag like you get some times in other places staff friendly very clean place I will be going back for more of the fantastic food

Staying at the nearby Burn Hall hotel and fancied a change from the stupidly expensive bar prices there. Had a beautiful steak meal and some lovely flavoured G&T;’s for not much money. Staff were wonderful, especially Tom the waiter / barman who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Only downside (and this has nothing to do with the pub) is getting to and from the hotel. Taxis for the 1.5m journey are crazy expensive and the road is a bit of a race track for walking. All in all though 100% recommend.

Hi we visited this pub on Saturday we were going to see rod Stewart at the race course didn't know how to get into York Saturday evening spoke to Lisa who own the pub she was amazing gave us her own phone to ring a local taxi firm called get a way cars they were amazing as well when you're in a strange place and you meet really helpful people it makes it a special visit thank you so much wonderful food and brilliant taxi services

Food was excellent lovely friendly welcome,relaxing atmosphere even with a live band playing.good coices on the menu,will definitely be visiting again to eat out with friends

Great food, superb staff brilliant atmosphere with live music Their selection of gins is vast. Our meals where cooked to perfection. Tom, our waiter, was attentive and nothing was to much troulbe.

We had a meal here Saturday night and the choice of food and service were both excellent. I had rump steak for main course and it was cooked perfectly and the extra garlic and mushroom sauce was beautiful. My partner had the lamb shank which was falling off the bone and contained a lot of meat. The service and real ales were also really good and we would eat here again if in the area but you would need to book a table at the weekend as they get very busy

Call in for Sunday lunch all staff friendly and helpfully Food was nice roast Beef was great veg and potatoes could of done with been warmer Yorkshire pudd. Over done But would recommend and would go back for the Beef

Ate in this very friendly little pub in the village of Huby.

We were staying at the Burn Hall hotel just down the road. Been to York for the day & decided to eat out at the Mended Drum on our return (had done a recce to the village the day before thank goodness).

Went in at the weekend for drinks and I have never experienced such unfriendly, unwelcoming staff. Poor customer service - aggressive staff which is a shame for a small village pub; considering it’s the last one standing in this particular village. Not a recommended visit...

We visited the Mended Drum last weekend and loved it! A breath of fresh air in a world of soulless chains and transient managers. Welcoming, full of character and cracking food and beer.

Arrived at the mended drum on sat evening for the very first time we were greeted very warmly by the landlord and landlady the choice of ales was very Good the atmosphere and warmth of the bar area was excellent .

I feel I need to write this review which I wasn’t going to do until the landlord decided to message my partner on fb regarding an innocent message he put on a comment saying my steak was cooked well done not rare. He asked why we never said that on the night. I responded saying it was true but I choose not to complain as that’s not who i am. He has chosen to be rude about something none of us were going to bring up. I ordered anti pasti and olives. I got 6/7 olives and 3 gherkins, oh and 2 garlic gloves. No meats at all!! My steak was badly over cooked. My dads batter was raw on his fish. My partners ‘spicy’ burger and chicken wings were soggy and not spicy. I am only writing this review due to his negative and frankly quite intimidating messages. I was taught if you had nothing nice to say, say nothing at all. Sadly his attitude has prompted me to write that the meal was in fact pretty rubbish. Sadly will not be going in again and most certainly will not be recommending this pub which is such a shame as it never needed to come to this.

What a find this place is. Lovely comfortable ambiance made even better by the fantastic welcome. We immediately felt like regulars. This place really has everything, great staff, lovely food an some fantastic beers with a focus on local and craft beers. Delicious range served by a lovely couple who really know and love their beer. My brother has recently moved to the village and this is his local... I am so jealous.

Landlord Ricky was very welcoming and helpful choosing a guest Ale Food menu was good but we did not eat as booked elsewhere but we saw food coming out and looked lovely Nice background music and they had a live singer on later Lovely local

Went here for evening meal while staying at the nearby New Inn Motel on their recommendation and really glad we did. For an unassuming village pub the Mended Drum certainly punches above it's weight as regards the food. Good start was the friendly welcome and service, and a great menu at attractive prices. Some of the starters sounded amazing but waistline won over (boo!) and probably just as well as the mains were plenty satisfying. I had 'pie of the week' which was wild duck and was superb - duck was cooked to perfection and pie packed with meat and veg. Came with thrice-cooked chips and broccoli which were delicious and came with awesome gravy.

What a welcoming place. Greeted like old friends and the two open fires were a great feature. The evening menu was extensive, the food and drink spot-on and service brilliant. Lovely.

Visited based on reviews. Excellent food, burger and soup. Presentation first class. Roll with soup unique with beer in it looked and tasted scrumptious. The staff cheerful, friendly and efficient.

Just arrived on hoilday, and thought we would visit this place as it was in walking distance. Glad we did , great service, food was well above average for a pub very nice, good portions and very fairly priced. Would we return to right we would!! Well worth a visit.

Having been recommended this awesome pub by a friend, I went for Sunday lunch with my family, including two small kids.

Cracking pub. An ale for every occasion. A warm welcome from the hosts who are very clued up on beer. Food is more than filling and varied. A proper experience.

Wonderful to see the birds so close up. Flying and handling display were excellent and we were reassured by the volunteer staff that the birds were allowed to fly free 2/3 times a week and would be happy with that.

This is a busy local pub. They sell a range of very good beers and wines. The guy behind the bar (beard and hat) was particularly helpful. The food we had was good and plentiful. Nice atmosphere and nicely decorated place.

There isn’t much else to say! The food is just too good to say no to, or to not lick your plate clean! My little boy and partner took advantage of the steak night on the Thursday and it’s rare you see a steak so thick and cooked to perfection.

We went to the Mended Drum in Huby whilst staying at Burn Hall recently, what a find, a lovely village pub as they used to be. The food was outstanding, we had the Thursday steak deal and it was excellent. All staff were welcoming and helpful and Rich who is the owner sat and chatted to us and also very kindly phoned us a taxi when we could not get a phone signal. The residents of Huby are very lucky to have a hostelry like the Drum in their community.

Unfortunately this pub only does food from a Thursday, that said both the food and the hosts were to a high standard, the salt aged steak is excellent and the beer brewed for the pub was certainly a highlight. All in all a very good experience, just open the rest of the week!

We was pleased to find that this pub was down the road from the B&B; we stayed in. The bar side of the pub served a good range of guest ales and had a welcoming atmosphere and chatty bar staff.
