The Old Red House in Hambleton

Excellent, family friendly pub.

Poor service ended up leaving after waiting too long

Brilliant pub, great atmosphere and the staff are lovely.

Went for a supposed nice meal with my sister this evening whilst on holiday. Menu very scant,not much choice,ordered 2 pizzas,1 Margherita,2nd Pepper pizza. Both arrived within approx 10 mins. The margherita was supposed to have 4 different types of cheese on,there was hardly any cheese on whatsoever,see pictures. The pepper one had cold peppers thrown on top. Both pizzas had a scant scattering of dried herbs on top. Both pizzas looked to have been cooked from frozen and they were absolutely disgusting and not even hot. The chopping board that the pizza was served on was dirty,God knows what it had been used for before. Staff not interested in even asking how the food was,didn't seem interested in customers at all. Do not eat there £30 for 2 frozen pizzas and 2 drinks absolutely disgusting.

This has to be the worst pizza i have ever had just shocking uneatable no effort put into it at all no one asked if the meal was ok we just walked out never ever will go back here again dont go you will regret it

Great pub good beer packed with race goers staff very good start to a good day at races did not have any food

Brilliant pub to come to before races Didn't try food so can't rate it

Didn't use the pub itself but stayed in the accommodation block....room was clean but bed was really uncomfortable (sprung mattres) also kettle didn't work...would also recommend caution when using shower as very slippy shower tray...finally the door to the accommodation block bangs really loud everytime someone goes through it

A great pub with a welcoming, friendly vibe. I sometimes pop in after work whilst waiting for the train and am always welcomed with a smile.

Excellent little Gem, really clean, lucky enough to be the first to experience it.

Not good,not bad... Food very salty

We stayed here as a Motorhome pub stopover for one night and loved it. Super friendly Barman (in Pot arm) and really friendly and helpful chef who cooked us some amazing food, that was so tasty. We had a lovely view out over the fields from our Moho. Watching the sheep and rabbits. Dog friendly, although ours were sleeping in moho as we ate. If I had to nit pick, the car park boundary could do with a litter pick. Would defo return here again. You were all a pleasure. Thank you. Gary & Lisa

Stayed over in car park in Motorhome, had a lovely meal , ultimate burger, chicken wrap, 3 ales all for £35 ,looking onto a field of sheep , quite at night can here the odd train early morning as this is opposite the train station in Thirsk, great if ur wanting to go further afield. In the morning noticed fresh eggs & honesty box bought some & had boiled eggs & toast for breakfast, beautiful free range . Would definitely stay here again, friendly staff. Thanks again,till the next time. Di & Bales.

Great pub, good service. Dog friendly which was fab and they had the match on!

We had booked here for Sunday lunch and arrived in our campervan early, booked in and then set of for a walk to work up an appetite. We enjoyed a nice stroll to Thirsk racecourse/Lidl before turning around and returning to the pub. We opted for a drink before lunch and then went to the carvery: choice of meats including beef, pork and turkey we also had roast potatoes, veggies and stuffing and crackling! Nice lunch, which we rounded off with a home-made pudding (sponge and custard for husband and stuffed cookie dough and ice cream for me). Well worth a visit!

OK but the pub lacks atmosphere poor drinks offering no beer no Guinness when I visited you could say it was a pub with no beer they are better pubs in thirsk.

Booked car park for our motorhome to stay overnight, Free if spending money in pub . Had a gorgeous Sunday carvery . Dogs allowed in pub which was a bonus for us also in beer garden. Very pleasant helpful staff . Would definitely recommend

Ordered cheeseburger & supposedly India curry, burger wasn’t too bad but nothing to write home about, in fact I fed dog 1 of them, she quite enjoyed, the curry is another story, you couldn’t or shouldn’t call it curry it was tiny pieces of chicken marinated in god knows what! No sauce what so ever Total waste of money not that I’d say it was expensive £21.95 for both, but absolutely no quality, should have read the signs and walked out when we were the only 2 in there, won’t be back!!

Needs a deep clean awful place , Avoid Avoid.

Great place for a bite to eat and something to drink before and after races

This USED to be a great value place to eat and drink. BUT now it’s really downgraded. Don’t get me wrong if you enjoy the staffs screaming kids running around bumping into to you then its the place to go. The food used to be hot tasty and a realistic price but now its all frozen veg overpriced small cold portions and pricey beers. The toilets always stink. Still no lock on the ladies door. The outside area is always a drab mess which when nice weather has the same kids kicking footballs about. The staff always look miserable and non helpful and treat it as a family crèche and family gathering event rather than immerse themselves into what could be a rather profitable business. Give this place a swerve ….. don’t get me started on The Vale of York either 🫣

Guy who served us was pleasant and we had some banter with him

Viv & Angela were so welcoming when we stopped by for some lunch.

A charming pub and very dog friendly. The two ladies who ran everything the day we were in were beyond delightful. We both had egg salad sandwiches. Yummy! Hope to get back there....and next time a home made baked goods.

More of an eating house than pub

On the night I went most customers were locals under 40. Lively atmosphere. Food was ok and good value. I had the homemade chilli, I'd have liked it spicier or some hot sauce available, but it was definitely home made from good ingredients.

We stayed in our campervan for the night, we arrived late, I think they stopped serving food, but they very kindly made us some burger and chips, and oh my what a lovely burger, we were told they make there own burgers and it shows as it tasted so good. The staff and locals were friendly and kind. The price for staying in the carpark is £10 per night, they do live music some nights too. I will definitely be returning. Its right next to the railway station and near a road but its not to bad, for what we needed, it worked fine.

Very welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. The staff were lovely. We liked it so much we visited again on our return journey.

Quaint little pub. Good guest beers. Busy place.

We had a lovely meal in The Old Red House. There was a good atmosphere with live music

I went on my own to push myself out of bad anxiety and glad I went here as I felt at ease, the staff was lovely

Really great food and reasonable price good old english pub grub just what we need friendly atmosphere and staff really friendly

Nice food and the beer was excellent lovely friendly staff and costumes would definitely give it a vist if your in thisk excellent location just across from the train station

Had a great burger there. The best I have ever had. Definitely go back.

Had a fabulous lunch here. Everything was hot and the salad was fresh. Chicken so juicy and tasty. Will be back

this pub is a real hidden gem, i have been here a few times over the last couple of years. the food is exclent and the staff are really friendly this pub is truly a traditional country pub. if you visit Thirsk I highly recommend coing here

Pleasant, friendly & helpful staff. Food was lovely. Would definitely go again.

Pub literally across road from thirsk train station. Great stop off.

Rang to book a table, no reply. Left a message. Never got back to me. Decided to go anyway. Told them we had left a message just laughed. Ordered 4 Sunday lunches. Pork was awful, tough and gristly. Left most of it. Looked at other people’s plates and they had left most of theirs . Most of the veg was cold, gravy was watery, no apple sauce for the pork roast potatoes were cut into little squares and were very hard. Told the waitress she just said she would tell them. No sorry . Disgusted by their children running around behind the carvery counter. I couldn’t believe it when one of them came from behind there on a scooter and was riding it about between the people. There were some elderly people in the area and could have knocked them over. Definitely will not go there again

Im under 18 I knew my dad went to a pub

Great pub with a nice beer garden food looks nice but didn't have any close to station and Thirsk racetrack, the staff were absolutely brilliant

Veg rock hard pork very tough. Not good

We were holidaying in Yorkshire and Thirsk was our last stop before going home to Birmingham. The food here was fantastic and well worth taking time to visit.

Not much to look at outside but a nice friendly pub. Allowed dogs in so we could wait for our train to York without having to wander about in the cold.

Had the “curry night” it was absolutely gorgeous, the selections were great, tried it all and it was fantastic. Well done “The Red House” will definitely attend for another curry night 10/10 Tina garry and the springer spaniel dog x

The Sunday carvery is amazing, real home cooked food, great value, the staff are so friendly and welcoming, we will definitely be back,

The food has declined with limited menu and very basic cooking. The food useto be good value and an easy choice but after settling on a hot dog, it was overfried and presentation was not appealing. Unfortunately, I will not be returning until they change their menu or chef.

We had an excellent finger buffet to celebrate our mum's life (Mrs Richmond).You made us all feel welcome. Beautiful food and lovely people. Many thanks from us all, will be calling again.

Lovely place lovely staff great beer a lively place to visit

Excellent very friendly and good prices

Popped in here for a quick drink after arriving by train, as it started to rain. It was quiet, infact we were the only ones in, but it was just after 12.00, Nice atmosphere, reasonable prices and friendly staff, the owner had just taken over the day before, but still had time to chat to us. He even phoned for a taxi for us into Thirsk. All the best in your new venture.

Called in twice really friendly barstaff really enjoyed both times

Popped in here for a quick drink after getting off the train Friendly greeting from new owner Prices reasonable

Stopped in for a drink before catching bus. Nice atmosphere, reasonable prices. Friendly staff. Central heating on, too hot for us jocks

Lovely warm and friendly, carvery was great

Visited Friday 14th January..... came to the Old Red House after the pub down the road couldn't accommodate the two of us for a meal at 19:10 as their kitchen shut at 19:00hrs. Greeted by the bar staff, asked about food, given menu's and drinks placed on the tab without hesitation. Menu, including specials a little limited and basic. Food arrived a short time later, hot and whilst not packed with flavour it was adequate. The pub wasn't that busy, but all our needs met, without any fuss. Decent prices mind. Wouldn't rush back but wouldn't not go back or put anyone off from visiting.

Visited twice whilst in Thirsk god pint and a really good Sunday lunch.

Nice relaxed local with sport. Spacious and friendly.

Called in after doing the weekly shop with the wife also child and dog friendly if required had 2 carverys and 2 pints unbelievable value for money and the meat was exceptional really friendly and welcoming choice of bar area or a dining area highly reccomended

Old fashioned pub, still with charm. Not part of a chain. Had two meals in pub, both were heavenly. Taste wonderful and piping hot. Sunday cavery tasted fantastic. Best we have ever had. Very reasonable prices. If this pub was near home would not cook a Sunday roadt ever again.

Brilliant place to stay lovely big clean rooms staff and customers Brilliant

Stayed at the little red house for one night after moving from a bad b&b in darlington.l wish we had found this 1st.landlord was fantastic couldn't do enough for us.Showed me and wife to our room,and he even offered to call us a cab and recommend a reausterant for us as we just missed the carvery.Staff made us feel really welcome,even the regulars in the bar chatted to us.Rooms were well presented even had a fridge in the room,along with tv,chair, sofa,, en suite shower.Would book to stay here again without hesitation.

We have just spent four nights staying at the red House The accomodation was a lovely spacious room good standard throughout ..so near Thirsk a mile of pleasant walking...we also crossed the road to the station train to York in 20 min ...looking forward a future stay

Was late opening do not do. breakfast and very poor menu room was very nice 👎

The rooms are a bit tired but the staff are friendly and helpful. Bed was comfortable and the shower was ok. Walls are very thin and you can hear the people next door. There is a railway line at the back of the property but it doesn't really impact. Note there is no food on Monday and Tuesday evening and they don't do breakfast.

Sunday carvery was very nice on 5th Sept. Great staff. Fresh hot and well cooked. Only slight remarks that couple of veggie sausages or a offer of something veggie may have earned another star especially as cost of a plate of veg was the same price as the meat eaters.

Great drinks. Friendly service.

Would not go back, poor standard of room could not stay the night due to the toilet not working.

Nice, clean and comfortable, a very spacious room and reasonably priced too! Friendly staff and locals and a nice bar meal menu. I will definitely stay here again.

The red house is actually GRAY but a lovely pub which serves lovely meals and not expensive

Really great place to stay. Rooms are large and absolutely spotless. Comfy beds fresh clean linen and fluffy towels. Added boness was a fridge, large TV with sky and tea making facilities. There is noise from the railway however the double glazing almost blocks it out. The bar staff were so welcoming and very accomadating and Sandra the lovely cleaning lady was a gem and lovely to talk to in the morning. Would highly recommend this place.

Fantastic food great service from all staff very friendly host all around Great experience

Everything in a basket. A plastic basket. A sea of beige in a beige basket. Gives the gall bladder a workout. With hindsight i should have asked for a plate. Big plus. I have never had such hot food as in this place! So hot you could not use your fingers as food in a basket requires. It stayed hot until the last bite!

Very accommodating, great staff who couldn't do enough to make sure that we enjoyed our stay. Would recommend you also try the burgers.

Had a really nice stay made really welcome room was lovely definitely stay again

Great pub very friendly landlord and staff. Lovely clean and spacious rooms to stay with sky tv all channels Inc Racing TV 1st class

Room was damp and the staff were rude. Didn't go back after the first night.

Excellent ales and service. Staff very courteous and friendly

Great atmosphere, good food and the Guinness is top notch

Fantastic local pub. Owner is a fantastic guy very welcoming and a lovely south facing beer garden.

Was having a mishap with drinks elsewhere so we came here and enjoyed the rest of our night, lovely little pub great beer thanks

No WiFi in the Rooms, train 30m behind the "hotel" rooms and guy who banging gf since 6am playing Loud music.. horrible decision to Pay for sleep here

Good budget accommodation - rooms were great value for money. Friendly and relaxed staff. It is right next to a train line but I feel we were well insulated from the noise. Also woke up to see rabbits outside which was nice!

Really enjoyed my dinner and the service was good

I felt the need to write what a great experience we had here after reading the two reviews below, my husband and I were staying with friends and were taken to the pub.we are from Leamington so not locals. We felt everything was spot on and we were made to feel very welcome. Anyone else noticed that the two bad reviewers live in locked down areas with huge rises in COVID ? Perhaps the pub is trying to look after its locals and protect them. I can only go off my experience but I found the pub really good and would highly recommend to anyone.

Good food, good beer, good atmosphere

Very weird experience! Never in my life have I know a pub to be “locals only”. What a misery of a landlord! I thought pub owners were meant to be happy, welcoming, sociable people! No idea how they make money... it was EMPTY.... on a Saturday? Oh well.

I would love to tell you about this pub. Its a big, beautiful old building. Unfortunately the 'locals only' sign on the door meant that i wasn't able to enter. To make matters worse. As i was taking a photo of the ridiculous sign, a man came out of the pub and started taking my photo - as if it is acceptable to not welcome people.The landlord must have a secret stash of money or customers where he can afford to pick and choose his clientele. But, judging by the fact that there was ABSOLUTELY NO ONE in the pub at what should be the busiest time of the week, he might want to rethink his strategy.

Visited here today for Sunday lunch & it was delicious, fabulous friendly staff who are doing a wonderful job despite the challenging times we are now facing, highly recommended to anyone looking for a good meal & lovely atmosphere 😀

We came here hoping for a friendly local establishment and good food but unfortunately the place was very disappointing.

We went for a Sunday Carvery here for the first time yesterday. It was awesome. It was one of the nicest carverys that we've had for years, so this is now our Sunday go-to spot. The cost was around average, decent quantity of food, & really tasty. Nice desserts too. A really nice meal & very happy to have found this place. It's worth ringing ahead & booking though, as they were quite busy.

Nice country pub very clean and very friendly sevice

Very friendly and attentive staff great prices too

Had Sunday lunch here today and it was lovely. Carvery style but you cannot serve yourself (Covid restrictions I presume) so staff plate it up with you pointing out what you want. Generous portions and reasonable price. Beef looked overcooked so went for pork which was lovely. Yorkshire’s were a bit chewy but all the veg was spot on, not too soggy like some carverys when it’s been sat for hours. Proper meat gravy.

Good food, lovely staff and dog friendly

Covid sensible. Well behaved and using common sense.

Would certainly recommend this place for food and service had Sunday lunch carvery the beef melted in your mouth and everything else was spot on will be going again

Great place to pop into and have a drink

Got stranded and the staff were so friendly and helpful giving us info and guidance on where to go and stay. Even offering a room. Thanks guys.

Came here today to sample the New Year’s day carvery, we were very happy with the choice of meats & all the vegetables were fresh & tasty, great to see bowls of cranberry, horseradish sauce etc rather then sachets, all in all great value good & good service, we will return ASAP
