The Park at Hovingham Ltd in Ryedale

Looking for coffee stop on way back to Northumberland from Lincoln. Best coffee in years, then fantastic home made soup and bacon n brie pannini. Well worth changing your route for. Will become regular stop in lovely village which also has terrific bakery.

We stopped here en route to a rugby match at Ampleforth. On a cold blustery rainy Weds, the place was packed. Staff could not have been more helpful and we felt so rude to be in such a rush!!! Utterly devastated to not be able to enjoy the delicious cakes on offer! We sampled scrumptious hot chocolate and marshmellows, followed by a delicious lunch. Food was perfectly presented and salad amazing. A gorgeous sandwich with a difference. Parking is easy and hovingham village is beautiful. Thank you so very much once again!

Nice little cafe. Ideal stop after a walk. Only had a cup of tea but the cakes looked good. Friendly staff, who weren’t at all fazedby 10 walkers turning up wanting tea, late on a Tuesday afternoon

A really nice cafe. Dog friendly inside and out. Very good food and coffee. Possibly because of limited space in the kitchen the plates are cold so if ordering hot food eat quickly.

Couldn’t fault the Park at Hovingham. Lovely dog friendly coffee shop. We had a Full English breakfast and Avocado on toast with chilli flakes, feta and tomato with an optional poached egg. We shared a great pear frangipane tart with cream. Everything was cooked to perfection, not the cheapest but undeniable quality. Thank you.

What a great welcome we had from the staff. Arrived in the middle of a storm drenched from head to toe. Fab coffee and brunch and time for the torrential rain to pass

As seems to be the trend these days, if like us you happen to be off on a Monday, then you won’t be able to try the coffee here, as this is yet another establishment that is closed on Mondays. What is it with this?

Our first visit to the Park at Hovingham and it definitely will not be our last. Friendly and welcoming. Well presented food and very tasty.

Went for lunch but unfortunately told lunch wasn't available due to be short staffed. Only drinks and cakes/scones were available. Went to the Worsley Arms Hotel instead (which is across the road) which I would recommend

A great to stop at. We had a delicious salad with buttered toast, unfortunately no crumpets in hand that day. Fresh quality tasty food, right quantity and price. Excellent Welcome and Service - just a small point, the espresso was a little weak, not thick, short and foamy! THANK YOU!

As a regular at the Park, it is good to know that the quality and service is as good as ever. Friendly staff enhance this experience

Charming Dog friendly Tea room , we only stopped for a coffee this time but it was great coffee. The cakes and tray bakes looked very tempting though.

Beautiful staff and gorgeous food! Or should that be the other way round? A must visit. My wife is also a great fan of the avacado on toast with a poached egg. The atmosphere is always pleasant due to the charming staff. Wish I had counted the number of customers who commented unsolicited, that they would definitely be back. Just a magic little oasis in a wonderful Yorkshire village

Came to this lovely cafe for a stop off on my way to Yorkshire Dales and was very disappointed. Great service and the most lovely pottery however, the scones was a big let down. They were exceptionally small and stale. I bought them thinking they would be home made and fresh but this was not the case. It would have also been nice to have a little biscuit on the side of the coffees given how large the saucer was. Other then this great service and in a beautiful location

Just wanted some snacks to take out whilst out walking. We had a lovely warm cheese scone with butter and a piece of their Tunisian orange cake which was truly wonderful. It was so moist and tasty, just perfect.

Excellent and classy cafe with lovely staff. The paninis were amazing - we had the Mediterranean and the bacon and Brie and wow. Great little spot for light lunches and tea/coffee. We didn’t have breakfast but by the looks and sounds of it we should come back and try it!

Made a decision today! If I ever find myself on death row, I would insist that my last meal should be the full English breakfast served by the fabulous staff at the Park! Fresh produce beautifully presented by the lovely ladies of their staff. An absolute treat. 5 stars not enough

Went here after a run around the outside of Castle Howard and needed a feed and some coffee. The castle has nice food but is expensive and appaling coffee. A quick search on this site and we found The Park. First the food. We both had the bacon and brie toasted sandwich (the steak pie was sold out - but we were there around 14:00). It was delicious, as was the amazing side salad. It was also huge, so the cinnamon toast we ordered was unnecessary...The coffee we ordered was a bit weak, so we asked for an espresso shoto be added. This was done with a smile and improved the coffee! Afterwards we had a chat with owners and bought some fresh baked goods that had a Swedish* twist.Would I go back - definitely* I think it was Swedish, apologies if not

Went there to get my haircut nice people and cafe.Amazing small gift shop.At this place you are able to get your ears pierced, haircut and get a gift , nails done and more!I recommend this place

We regularly visit here for the fantastic coffee and excellent service. Cakes and bacon butties are really good too.

This is a great find! Well worth a visit! Lovely food and excellent service! The ambience is pleasant with a small shop where you can find cards and gifts that are a bit different. AND....by no means least a very friendly sophisticated hair salon. All the hairdressers are very competent and experienced so if you can't get an appointment with your particular lady, mine is Anna who is always on trend, you can feel confident to make an appointment with one of the others. What a find! Recommend!

A really nice little tea room with some nice quirks. Cakes were great and coffee and tea. The girls were polite, efficient and friendly...Thanks.

We come to Hovingham regularly and usually bring packed lunch. Today we decided to visit the Park and I am pleased I did. We decided to take our lunch away but before doing so I took in the surroundings. Dogs are welcome which is a big plus and the decor is right up my street. Rustic. The place is very busy so it will be hit or miss if you get a table. We ordered the gammon/cheese and chutney sandwich and a tuna/chilli pannini. They were both outstanding. REALLY outstanding! We also ordered a childs sandwich. The food and setting 5 stars. The only minor negatives are as follows. As we took our food away we did not get the side salad or crisps (however it is cheaper to take away so can be understood) although this usually relates to service and not the food. The staff were not overly friendly, they barely acknowledged me and this made me feel slightly awkward (it was busy i guess). The price was not cheap. Over £14 which is on the steep side and would have been more towards £20 if Id sat in. However as I mentioned you are paying for quality so for the rare occasions I come here id rather pay for something I know is tasty. If it was a little cheaper Id come more. Places like this do not need to worry about me though as with or without my trade it is always busy.

Charming café in the centre of Hovingham , with superb quality of food and charming service. outlet also has local art and jewellery gifts, always a relaxing and enjoyable experience

A re-visit to this delightful cafe , many a cafe owner could do with visiting this cafe to see how it should be done .Done with style warmth fun zero agro, and all in all a cracking experience.The ladies who own it .own it in every sense,can we join a couple of tables together ? yes no bother, papers on the table so if you are on your own at least you can have a read.And the pies (tick) the cake ( tick tick) coffee ,tea (tick ) Find this place check it out and enjoy ( cos we do ).

Very understanding and helpful staff who serve excellent coffee [and tea]. Good selection of cakes...everything a hungry cyclist needs. Very good at catering for groups - best if you let them know first.

We were just driving through Hovingham & I got peckish so we stopped off at The Park.This is a really nice little cafe with an added gift shop & hair dressers. I had a Brie & bacon panini and it was delicious!!The waitress was average and wasn’t friendly.I would definitely recommend this lovely hidden gem!

What a Wonderful, Naturally Happy place this is!

Called for a hair appointment. Having skipped lunch thought I'd have a fill the gap. Masses of choice of top quality food carefully prepared. Cheerful service. Worth a trip scenery around Hovingham is stunning.

Four of us ate here for lunch, everything we had was amazing (panini and cakes). Service sweet and friendly. Highly recommended. We sat outside with two dogs who were also made welcome.

We only stopped for coffee on route to castle Howard, but was a good call!! Friendly staff and good coffee!!!.

Called for lunch prior to a visit to Hovingham Hall. Really friendly staff, great menu and good value, Amazing what they can do with salads! Highly recommended. You won't be disappointed

What a Gem .. delicious food and drinks.

A great little cafe with lovely cakes and the coffee was absolutely delicious. This is one to visit when in the area.

Although service was a little on the slow side, we certainly didn’t mind. The café is awash with charm which resonates upon entry. - Lovely smiley hosts, appealing decor and comfortable seats - what more could you ask for? Brilliant food selection too! We’ll be back! Either way, Dougal the dachshund will be sure to drag us back.

This small country cafe is worth visiting. Lovely staff and super freshly prepared food. Dogs are welcome so that is a bonus for all.

Located in the attractive village of Hovingham, this cafe seems to be attached to a ladies hairdressing shop!.

A beautiful little place situated in this amazing quintessentially English village. We enjoyed a panini breakfast in the delightful surroundings of a quirky coffee shop in one half and a hair salon in the other. Lovely atmosphere, food and drink. Could have quite happily sat and read newspapers all day sitting in the window. Worth a visit.

This is a small, cosy tea room with a warm welcome frequented as much by locals as passers by where you can sit, relax & read the papers

We arrived late in the afternoon near closing time but were made to feel very welcome. Excellent tea & cake and lovely atmosphere. We will try it again soon for lunch and or coffee

Llamado para un café y un pastel mientras en tránsito entre Malton y Helmsley. Nos gusta Hovingham, y siempre haga tiempo para parada para pasear, pero, como sucede, he visitado el parque. El café estaba delicioso, el té y los pasteles abundante (bandeja de quingombó, del millonario quebradiza, etc) parecía todo para ser casero. No comimos una comida, pero la sopa picante parsnip era bien recibida por aquellos en las mesas al lado de la nuestra. El personal era amable y agradable, y había un ambiente relajado, con varios periódicos disponibles para clientes para leer. Durante la temporada de verano, nos pasamos mucho tiempo en esta zona, y no tendrá que volver. allane

Llamamos aquí por un café y un bocado ligero. Allí estaba siendo utilizada algunas mesas y sólo uno de los miembros del personal, así que era un poco caótico.

Pleasant cafe, sandwiches serves with crisps, plenty of papers to read, friendly and quick. Hair salon in the other half of the building so you could get a trim. For walkers there's a covered boot stand outside to leave them in.

El personal era amable y sonriente, después de visitar otros café en el pueblo esta fue muy bien recibida ya que habíamos salimos después de que trataron de forma grosera. El menú tenía una buena selección, las porciones eran generosas y tartas preciosas. Bien merece...

Realmente pequeño y encantador café/tienda/salón con una buena selección para la ubicación. Muy popular! Muy bien distribuido, el salón y el café no influencia recíproca, te enteras de que había un salón allí cuando sentado en la cafetería. Mejor chocolate caliente - obtener todos los...

Stopped here for a light lunch. Very friendly, smiley staff. Simple lunch menu, perfect for our needs. Ordered hot chocolate (divine) and a coffee (good) plus a bacon and Brie panini and a cheese and onion toastie. Drinks were perfect. Bacon panini was I am told top notch and served with a fresh salad too. Toastie was boring, average and not even a leaf of garnish in sight. Odd and disappointing. It sufficed, but that was it, hot chocolate made up for the rest.

Combine a snack with a hair do in a lovely village setting. Smashing spot offers good value and great ambience. Free parking and lovely local walks.

Great little coffe shop with owners who really care about their customers.Definitely one of the best and friendliest places to visit in Hovingham.

I absolutely love the Park @ Hovingham- I have started going every week, because it has such a great atmosphere. The Paninis are gorgeous and HUGE :-) the cakes are all homemade and delicious... especially the caramel slice! All of the staff members are so friendly and really look after you, ! There is also a really good selection of news papers to read and nice background music.I am always looking for an excuse to visit !!!

I'm sure this place would have been excellent if we'd actually been served! Came in and sat down, only one other gentleman seated and a small child, presumably his mother was in the hairdressers?? We sat down and waited 5mins until the waitress came through with a lady from the hairdresser and served her a coffee, then proceeding to stand and chat with her about holidays. My mum and I sat and waited patiently, knowing that you have to make a certain amount of small talk with a customer but time went on. Over 20 minutes we sat there while the waitress, although looked in our direction several times, completely ignored us. Eventually we got up and walked out to which she said "come again anytime"!!!! We couldn't believe it! Shocking service which left us extremely disappointed. Especially as my mum is a Hovingham resident and was excited for me to experience the great coffee they apparently have, but with service like that we'll stick to the fantastic Leoni's on malton high street!

stopped here for lunch after walking past the two pubs which didn't look too inviting. Glad we did. Had a giant hand carved ham and cheese panini, which could have fed a small family, and Mr P had a ploughmans - which he thought was superb - though commented that the bread could have been better. Good friendly service, beautiful location, well presented.... a good choice.

Great spot for lunch, lovely friendly staff. Perfect treat for a Sunday as perfectly based in the beautiful hovingham. Well worth a visit!!

A group of us Harley riders call at this amazing cafe whenever we go through Hovingham why you may ask, go on, go on ask. Ok then I will tell you because it ranks as one of the best we stop at (and we stop at a lot ) .Point 1 easy parking ( right out side)Point 2 the friendliest bunch of staff one can meet ( truly ) Point 3 cracking coffee served in the wackiest cup and saucer complete with bent spoon ( you will have to visit to understand) . The interior is amazing, sit read a paper have a drink something to eat.So if you are in North Yorkshire and on the B1257 check the Park out it is NOT to be missed.

I regularly visit the hair salon which shares the coffee shop premises and always have a lovely coffee when I'm there. I've also eaten there at lunchtime and been very happy with the food. I can recommend the paninis- really tasty and very good value. Well worth dropping in if you are visiting the village.

We regularly go on walks from Hovingham and need a good coffeetime/lunch cafe. There used to be a cafe on the same site (The T-Shop) but it closed several years' ago. Well, we can recommend this new coffee shop. Staff are very pleasant and efficient. The toasted teacake and scones were very good. The cups are an interesting design and very nice to hold. They have skinny milk. However, the coffee needs to be stronger - both the cappuccino and the Americano. If the coffee were stronger it would all be perfect.

Great coffee, a beautifully bright, relaxing and comfortable environment. Highly recommended. Very tastefully decorated making it a joy to be there. Friendly staff. I will return and return and return.

Met up with an old friend for lunch whilst holidaying in Hovingham. What a find, good food, friendly service, value for money. It was so good that our holiday group of five went in the next day for coffee and to sample the cakes and were not disappointed.

Met friends for coffee on the strength of the excellent reviews and wasn't disappointed. Lovely coffee, good service lots of daily newspapers to read. Was dining elsewhere otherwise would have eaten there. Good menu and choice of cakes. Will definitely go back.

Called in today, had a really good Gammon and Cheese toastie with caramelised onion and salad which included olives. Had two coffees, latte and cappucini in a really modern cup. Lovely staff, friendly and pleasant.If you driving through Hovingham STOP and pay a visit to The Park Coffee Shop - you will not be disappointed.

Visited here with family. I had a lovely lunch, tasty quiche with a really fresh salad. Coffee was brilliant. All priced reasonably with a lovely atmosphere.

Three of us called here on Saturday morning after visiting the market. It did not disappoint. Lovely surroundings great girls serving very happy at what they were doing which is very rare these days.Fantastic bacon sandwich so tasty. Lots of choices.Really reasonable prices.We will be back to try more. thank you for a lovely experience.

Met some friends for a coffee and a spot of lunch. Great service and friendly welcome. Food was fab. Bought a few little gifts while I was there too!

This is a lovely coffee shop, good food and coffees and run by very friendly people. Well worth a visit if you're in the area.

Popped in for a coffee after playing golf nearby ended up having a fantastic bacon sandwich crammed full of bacon and all the trimmings ,will definitely be back. And associated with the coffee shop there is a hairdressers as well.

Popped into The Park on recommendation from a friend and I wasn't disappointed! The owners are so welcoming and friendly and the food is delicious. Fresh sandwiches, lovely cakes and good coffee, I could not fault it. There is also a hair salon which was very busy when I was there so obviously popular and a great selection of gifts to take home. I'd be back everyday if I could! The homemade scones with jam and clotted cream are a must, yum!

What a discovery on a visit up into the hills! The Park is full of charm and a must for visitor and locals alike. What a wonderful setting and atmosphere. I was served by a lovely, very petite girl called Rebecca, who really added some local charm.Very reasonably priced and strongly recommended. Hovingham itself is a lovely village so The Park is well worth a detour for anyone in the area

This is a lovely little café. Staff are polite and friendly and offer a good service. Food is very good, particularly the made to order sandwiches. Home made cakes are also available and portions are generous. They also sell a limited sellection of gifts! I will certainly be returning when I pass through this village
