The Monkey Tree Cafe & Bistro in East Riding of Yorkshire

My partner and I were in Beverley town centre the other day, and during our walk we spotted Monkey Tree. After popping our heads in and chatting to the lovely and welcoming staff, we decided to settle in for some lunch. The menu was really varied and the specials board truly felt special - my partner had a variation of a buffalo/truffle infused chicken burger (something neither of us had ever seen before). The food was cracking, but what really stood out to us was the level of personality and service we experienced at Monkey Tree. We got to meet and chat with the owners, they popped to see us at the start and end of our meals and we learned so much about the brilliant people who run the restaurant. My partner and I agreed that you don’t tend to find that level of personal service anywhere, so to find it at Monkey Tree (a cafe/restaurant just on our doorstep) felt really special. While we were there we spotted a really mixed clientele, and Monkey Tree catered to them all. From warm drinks, to scones to dirty Mexican fries! Lastly, it was lovely to see the number of themed events that Monkey Tree runs. Offering themed menus and entertainment on regular evenings throughout the year. It really sounded like their community of customers meant a lot to them. 5/5 for the staff and service alone (the lovely food was a bonus)!

Went to the seafood night, first time I’ve eaten there, absolutely fantastic! It was such a relaxed atmosphere, the staff could not do enough for you, everybody was smiling, and the food tasted so fresh and different to the usual boring fare. What a little gem of a place! We will definitely be returning😀

Went to a party catered bu the monkey tree cafe. At was AMAZING. Beautiful, delicious, unusual and well thought out. It really made the spart special. Would definitely recomend.

We absolutely love Monkey Tree. We try and make as many of their evenings as possible. It’s the perfect combination of fun and relaxed dining combined with exceptional food and cocktails. It feels like you’re round for dinner at Fran’s house! We will continue to attend their nights, and for people also looking to book I would recommend booking early as it fills up fast.

Last night we attended our 3rd themed evening at The monkey tree and had the best time. The food was (as always) fantastic and beautifully presented and the cocktails are amazing. The little bunches of flowers for the ladies were a really lovely touch Fran and Tom are just the best hosts and somehow manage to make you feel like you have been invited round for dinner at a friends home. We’ve already booked for the seafood night and can’t wait. If you get the chance and they are not already fully booked I would highly recommend.

Fantastic night at the Monkeytree' 80's karaoke night, fancy dress was optional but most people embraced the theme 😆. We love these specialty nights the food is fabulous but it's the people both owners, customers & staff who make it truly special. Thanks to Jon of JRH Entertainments for taking good care of the 'kareoke virgins' we had a brilliant evening. Looking forward to the next time already.

We love this quirky bistro in middle of Beverley. Fabulous fun theme nights. We went to a ‘Korean Evening’ on Saturday evening. Top quality tasty food, as always tastefully presented. Friendly staff, great atmosphere & music entertainment. We’ll be back

Have been here before so was looking forward to another good breakfast and we werent disappointed. We arrived early as we knew it filled up quickly and it was a good job we did. The breakfast was hot , fresh and plenty and so it filled me up till the evening. I've recommended this place to many people and 2ill continue to do so with confidence.

Very good food the main hostess was extremely friendly. Good location from Beverley and very accommodating for dogs. Hot chocolate is a must!

Visited this week and were told if it was for drinks only we had to sit outside. Inside is only for food! The drinks then took over 20 minutes to arrive! I've heard, and read, several comments about poor service at this cafe. People won't return if they don't feel welcome.
