The New Derwent Bistro in East Riding of Yorkshire

Originally we were going to pizza on the square but that was very busy and very noisy with some large groups there. We opted to try this establishment having not been there before it was a bit of a mystery visit. Firstly we were greeted at the door with a smile and were quickly shown to a table the door, this was not a problem to us. The server came across straight away and gave us our menus and took the drinks order. There was a table of six and three couples already in attendance some were already served the others waiting. The server was under a little pressure at this time but was joined ten minutes later by colleagues and altogether the service was good, very friendly and professional. Our drink came with a short delay, the main courses took about twenty minutes to arrive which was very acceptable in the circumstances. The food was plentiful, well presented, hot and very tasty. I had the burger which was thick and juicy served with lettuce, tomato, three proper onion rings ( very good ) and thick cut chips. All our party of four had good food and the experience was very good and will return.

We went to the new derwent today and it was lovely food and lovey atmosphere the staff were really nice also allowed dogs what a bonus will be going back soon 😀😀

Visited for lunch with my partner and dog, very pet friendly and such a warm welcoming. The food was lovely, will definitely be back.

Amazing is all I can say, 10/10 from start to finish. Highly recommend this place. Best place in Malton. Food was delicious and the staff are friendly.

We booked for a wedding anniversary. Looked very nice when we walked in. We ordered our starters which took over half an hour to come out. The soup was very nice we then ordered the main and waited a good 45 mins for it to arrive. Some of us had the beef on skewers and some had hunters chicken. The beef was inedible. It was so chewy. The chicken was also tough and dry. Took it home for the dog in the end. We did complain to the waitress that the beef was inedible and she said she would tell the chef. There was no mention of a refund. All in all, a very disappointing evening. We should of been celebrating but it left us all very flat.

Gluten free eggs benedict. Exquisite Presentation-fantastic Perfect poached eggs Seriously yummy A must visit in Malton

Excellent food lovely welcoming staff. We had a lovely evening. Luxurious decor combined with succulent chicken skewers made for a wonderful night.

I live in Malton and I recently had family visiting from Kenya and from USA. I booked a private function to celebrate my sister's 60th Birthday and having travelled from far, it was really important for me that my family had a good experience. Gemma and Kevin went over and beyond to make it a very memorable occasion for myself, my family and friends. The buffet was absolutely fantastic and all the food was fresh and delicious, and it was plenty. We all had a great evening and everyone really enjoyed it. We will definitely be returning, and would highly recommend this venue for private functions or just meals out.

Hiya Gem, we came in for a meal last night and what can I say!!! The food was beautifully cooked and tasted lovely 😍 the staff were very polite and friendly and it's a beautiful place to relax aswell, I can definitely say we'll be back again!!! Thanks so much, Becki xxxx

We were two couples and had booked a table as we knew it is a very popular lunch time restaurant. It was quite busy but welcoming, with a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. We were served quickly and given time to check-out the menu while chatting to our friends. The delightful waitress took our drinks and food order which was freshly prepared and promptly served, delicious with great service and a jug of water provided. It wasn't hurried or rushed and nothing was too much trouble for them, I'd certainly recommend it to anyone with a good menu and service.

popped in on Tuesday with some friends for a meal there was a lot of choice and some nice specials, i opted for a steak baguette which was amazing with some chunk home made chips. i would highly recommend and i will be returning as will my friends. the staff and the décor are lovely and very inviting. see you all again soon

Feb 2024. It took 45 minutes for 3 paninis! The bistro was almost empty and still had a dreadful wait, wasting my lunch hour. There was no staff for 35 minutes and not helpful when one young lady did appear to gently speak to. I had a further 10 minutes to wait after asking when our snack would be ready sat at an empty table and then had to rush the food and escape. Very annoying, I just can't go again to this badly run business for this sort of treatment.

Excellent food good service and totally unrushed. Wine good too. Thanks Gemma and staff for making us feel welcome and providing totally homemade food coming from someone who does cook from scratch often I was very happy. We shared whitebait to start very tasty and for mains I had the hanging chicken scewers , friends both had sizzling chicken fajitas which they both enjoyed and hubby had Whitby scampi and homemade (not frozen) chunky chips. Sorry forgot to take photos too busy chatting 🤣.Very reasonable prices also 😊

Visited for breakfast. Absolutely delicious. Lovely comfortable place. Gemma and Kevin well done. Fully recommend visiting if you’re visiting Malton. Food delicious. Friendly staff.

It's lovely here. Food is great value. Service on point definitely I'll back again with more friends I ordered chicken skewers, the chicken skewers was really delicious

We went here for dinner as everywhere else was very busy. It should’ve perhaps been a sign that this was one of the only quiet places in town on a Saturday night, and yet we held out hope. After sitting ourselves down, we ordered drinks and food. The young girl who took our order was very lovely, professional and polite. Unfortunately, the food took an incredibly long time to arrive, and when the starter did arrive my friend’s food was raw in the middle. This was an initial disappointment but we were determined to continue the evening, especially as we had invested a large amount of time in this place already. We then looked at reviews online and realised that other customers had had similar experiences. The main course then took a further 35 mins to arrive, and we had noticed at this point that the remaining two couples (who had been there longer than us) were also still waiting. We were then all served our mains at the same time. Our main courses were dry and tasteless and appeared not to contain ingredients they had been advertised with (or at least these ingredients had been used in incredibly slim quantity). We gently complained to the staff and they were polite, helpful and accommodating, particularly the younger girl who was on shift. I would not eat here again but I was impressed with the professionalism of the young member of staff.

It's lovely here. Food is great value. Service on point everytime. Decor is warm and welcoming. Atmosphere is cosy and warm. Definitely recommend.

Best breakfast I have ever had great value for money I will be back with more friends and family, nothing was to much trouble also the coffee was really nice cant say I had heard of divine before but I will be getting some to try in my machine at home

My standards were met. Food was phenomenal. Services were quick. Will be returning. My eggs Florentine was amazing. Fresh hollandaise.

The food was really good, got everything I asked for, and it was all cooked perfectly. Service was amazing! Would definitely recommend.

Booked a table, came to have it all perfectly set out and with crackers which my children loved, plenty of food all cooked to perfection, and plenty of food also. The staff couldn’t be helpful enough and we really are looking forward to going back for the burns night.

Took kids for Sunday lunch absolutely amazing. Food was gorgeous and well presented, staff were friendly and happy. Great atmosphere and excellent quality food and service.

Lovely visit to The New Derwent Bistro. We visited the new derwent on Sunday for lunch, a family of 4 who are all very picky eaters. We all chose to have Sunday Roast to which was cooked to perfection. My partner had the beef and I had the pork. My two fussy children had the chicken who cleared their plates. The homemade Yorkshire puddings were huge!! Desserts to follow… homemade baileys cheesecake was amazing. We will definitely be back.

Went for breakfast with friends. Service was terrible and the food wasn’t much better! They got the order wrong and then half the order didn’t arrive. We waited 35 minutes for coffee’s and toast. The quality of the Avacado on toast was not good - it resembled guacamole paste on toast (cheap Bread and no butter), the coffees looked nice but they were cold. Bacon butty consisted of 2 slices of processed bread, no butter and 2 slices of bacon.

Went in to try for lunch on a very chilly day. Lovely restaurant, a great selection for lunch! I had the steak sandwich, which was stuffed full with steak and cooked to perfection. My husband had their Derwent Burger and loved it! Definately will return ! The waitress was fun and helpful.

Absolutely fantastic gluten free meal. Service outstanding. Cost ...completely agreeable! A must visit for gluten free and non gf food. Beautiful venue. Just Yes!!!

Food was excellent and staff very pleasant Only disappointed was the waiting time on food. We ordered breakfast at 11:40 and hot drinks came at 11:50 and food didn’t come until 12:15 so drinks were cold by that time. Apart from that everything was excellent...

First class all day restaurant/bar set in traditional market town square. Owner run and managed with friendly and efficient service. Free parking immediately outside the premesis.

Great meal provided by friendly staff in a good atmosphere, although the venue was very quiet on the night we went. A local event and the Rugby World Cup were on, so that explains it. Fully booked though for the following night. Portion size of...

This was a happy accident. We stayed in a perfectly acceptable hotel whose restaurant had zero atmosphere. The menu was really boring and no better than standard pub food. We had to eat elsewhere!! We made a booking based on TA review. From making the...

Last minute decision, streaks were cooked to perfection! FOH were well mannered, definitely will be returning.

An awful place. We complained and were abused by the manager. This place should be avoided if you complain they make up Lies and post on line. I was swore at and yet this awful person said I swore. Nothing was resolved. Like I say...

We visited for breakfast shortly after 9 am on a weekday. Consequently the bistro was fairly quiet. We had our pick of the tables and speedy service. I chose Eggs Florentine whilst my husband opted for his usual full Yorkshire with no beans, fried bread...

Popped in for an ice-cream to take out and dropped it when it was passed over the counter. No hesitation- I was given a replacement. That’s great customer service and a nice human touch. Ice-cream was lovely by the way!

This place could be really great but it's not quite there. We started with Arancini and Tempura vegetables and it was such a great start. The veg was lovely but the arancini was amazing, so well done and such great, balanced flavours. However, our mains...

Visiting Malton and came across this Bistro in the Market Place. The menu outside appeared to meet our needs and we decided to visit for lunch. The menu is not as extensive as some, but with the additional choices from a "specials" board provides a...

Food was lovely and service was really good, went on a Friday without booking, we ate relatively early and had a table or four. Good selection on the menu.

Ordered 2 x Chicken Carbonara with creamy garlic sauce + parmesan shavings. Sauce was virtually non existant so pasta was dry and the dish did not come with parmesan shavings. No staff member asked if we enjoyed the meal because, I think, they new it...

What a gem of a place went here for the 2nd time but it was our friends 1st time thry came to visit from leeds. this time we had lunch and we were not disappointed the burgers were excellent and the homemade chips made my...

What a fantastic find in the food capital of North Yorkshire. Late lunch on a wonderful Sunday afternoon something on the menu for all . Fish and chips for me light crisp batter home made chips fantastic sandwiches to enjoy for the rest be warned...

Friendly staff and nice surroundings. Eton mess made with squirty cream, very disappointing , the whole point of Eton mess is the unctuous cream mixed with fruit and meringue. unfortunately squirty cream can’t hold its form and it ended up watery cream fruit and meringue

The property has recently had a refurbishment and been finished to an excellent standard.The food was delicious and the staff very friendly and attentive.

Last minute meal treat out with my son, The New Derwent Bistro didn’t disappoint. We had the Angus Burger with Mozzarella and the Pork Loin Steaks. Both delicious. Inches Cider on tap a bonus. Service was excellent. We both loved it.
