The Pickled Postie in Selby

Very friendly and helpful staff, good food selection and very tasty A++

Went for a spot of lunch, really good service , things fairly priced. Met and had a chat with New owner Anna after being a employee for years. Very nice lady with some wonderful ideas. A must visit if you are in the area.

We are very lucky to have this amazing place in the heart of our village. Food is gorgeous, as is the coffee and the staff are faultless. couldn't do without them.

Really nice breakfast. Just a shame the ladies who run the cafe are really unapproachable and often rude. Try the pickled @ Riccal for the same menu and much friendlier staff!! Sort your attitude out.

Visited a number of times to eat in recently and the food is consistently very good. The staff are all very friendly, smiling and welcoming. The place is very clean and decorated well. Highly recommend.

Loved this place. Fully stocked with essentials and other lovely goodies. Dog friendly. We had a breakfast and a burger. Both fantastic. Service was great. Ordered some goodies on our way out. Cakes were fantastic and the pork pie was to die for!

We arranged my 60th birthday supper at the Pickled Postie. They do evening supper clubs. It was a fabulous evening. The food was exceptional, great taste and beautifully presented. Anna, who owns the Pickled Postie was very efficient and contributed to a wonderful memorable evening. Anna has recently re introduced the supper club evenings at The Pickled Postie, I would highly recommend them! We are very lucky to have the Pickled Postie in our village. As well as supper club, you can have breakfast, lunch, cakes and drinks in the cafe. Plus of course the Pickled Postie is a post office and general store selling newspapers, cards and essential provisions.

Helpful staff manning the Post Office. Very nice deli offer, particularly the fresh mini quiches. Some very enticing fresh cakes too. Decent variety of fresh and ambient goods in the store with an accent on local produce. A good experience.

Excellent food, we both had a full breakfast nice quality ingredients cooked perfectly, staff friendly will be back real soon as the menu had a lot id like to try 😋

Very posh butty, came with salad etc! Proper pot of tea too.

Great food. Service a little slow

Fabulous lunch chicken skewer with 3 salads delicious ! Millionaire shortbread and tiffin scrumptious… staff always very friendly and helpful.. so lucky to have this post office /deli /cafe close to our home…

Stayed in cawood for 5 days ,lovely village ,the pickled postie was such a good shop and cafe ,so friendly and the food was really good ,had breakfast friday morning the day we were leaving ,it was lovely .

Staying for a Christmas break and found this lovely small community cafe which included a great deli and post office. Great food and friendly staff.

Perfect stop for brekki on our 100 mile cycle ride from Leeds to Scarborough, great service!!

They were determined to cram in as many people as they could at the detriment to the customers experience. We had already ordered and food had arrived, but due to a large party of cyclists arriving we had to squeeze into a cramped space virtually sat on each other to accommodate them. Incidentally, they were seated scattered around a number of tables.and unable to converse as a group. Service was poor. This was consistent with our last visit in March, when we had to remind staff that we had ordered coffee etc. and felt very rushed as the woman in charge was more bothered about closing promptly at 2pm. However, on both occasions the poor service was rather funny, very Faulty Towers. The food was awful! Firstly we were not offered a choice of bread, just presented with cheap white bread rolls. The crisps presented on the side were soft and the chips hard and under cooked. Such a shame as we used to enjoy lunch there. Also a shame that they close so early on Saturdays, 2pm is extremely early when offering and serving lunch. And they are really missing out on business due to not opening the cafe on Sunday mornings. So to conclude we won’t bother to return in the near future.

Great cafe stop for cyclists - homemade food and reasonable prices. Cakes were great and so were bagels with eggs & smoked salmon.

Rachel really needs some manners . No please or thank you. Miserable woman. She makes you feel like you have put her out. Other ladies are great

Thank you for another fine breakfast in such a warm and hospitable venue, ❤️ I am already looking forward to my next visit❤️❤️❤️

Such a lovely Christmas dinner, it was delivered on time and well worth the money. Thank you so much for pickled perfection.

I visited the Pickled Postie in Riccall - run by the same people as in Cawood hence my review. The cafe is in what was the Post Office in Riccall and the cafe has taken on the Post Office duties . Result? The place is neither one thing or the other. . The acoustics in the cafe are awful and are not helped by the very loud voice of one of the assistants. Inside was full so I went outside for my coffee. Quite honestly it was like sitting in an animal pen virtually on the pavement by the post box. The proximity of the main road meant that you were breathing in the fumes of the car and lorry engines plus listening to the passing traffic. The coffee was ok!

Fantastic food supplied my daughter's wedding grub delicious first class service thanks

Lovely "corner shop" selling a variety of groceries, drinks, postcards and souvenirs. To the rear of the shop is a small café. My coffee was good and freshly made by the Barista. A friendly atmosphere in the shop. Well worth a visit.

Excellent establishment. Amazing food. Try the Pork pie with chili jam, it’s fantastic 😊

We came in for breakfast, before I set off back to London this morning. Without doubt, one of the best Full English Breakfasts that I have ever experienced (a vegetarian option was available if desired). The Eggs Benedict and a Bacon Buttty were also greatly appreciated. Excellent value and the service was fun, friendly and welcoming. My mother lives in Cawood, so I have plenty of excuse to return again. 20 out of 10

Both times I visited somehow the customers ended up chatting together. Nice. Not sure how it happened but maybe the staff triggered it by being so friendly.

Excellent scotch eggs, sausage rolls, pork pies etc.

If your old kitchen has been ripped out and your new one has not yet been fitted, there can't be many better places to visit in North Yorkshire than the Pickled Postie! Superb full English breakfast kept me going until my sad microwave supper at home. Highly recommended

Great food and coffee ☕😊 and tea

Awesome! What a lovely little gem of a place. Food & coffee was excellent & good value. Such a warm welcome, felt like being a guest in a friends home. Thank you, I will definitely be back. ❤🌞

On holiday, great breakfast, in unique surroundings, lovely staff, would recommend and go again, reasonable prices too.

Wonderful to be able to get a good cup of coffee and piece of cake all be it to takeout whilst out on my bicycle on bank holiday Monday, most other places were closed, friendly service, thank you

Lovely fresh food very friendly service

Great wee cafe & deli, with home made food, post office and groceries too!! Check it out!

Really friendly staff and tasty food. The chips were fantastic and very generous portions. Got a brownie to take away on the way out and it was one of the best I have ever tasted!

Well stocked shop, lovely cakes, all nice and clean. Helpful, cheerful staff.

Lovely post office,shop and cafe. Their Scothern eggs and sausage rolls are amazing. Lovely lady served me.

My husband and I called in for lunch today. What a lovely place. The food was great and staff lovely and friendly. We’ll definitely be returning and would highly recommend 😃

Dropped in to purchase a couple of coffees on our way through. Sadly covid had reduced the menu to sandwiches and cakes and takeaway only. Looked a really nice place and the service was really friendly. Once we get back to the new normal it will be worth another visit. Found a nice parking space just up the road at st Helen's church Stillingfleet over looking the green to enjoy them.

Limited selection of local produce but so friendly and convenient.

Just had our roast beef Sunday dinner and I would give it 6* if I could. Melting tender beef, interesting and really tasty veg that still had a little 'bite' in it, great roast spuds etc etc. Now got puds to look forward to. All delivered with a smile and so easy to just pop in the oven for perfection. Best value with best product and best service.

Great village shop, and amazing food at the café!

Friendly staff,great cafe and locally sourced and made products.

Great local food, coffee and baking along with the facility of a post office, it's our local gem.

Tried the fresh bread and cakes both delicious! Staff are very friendly too.

Fantastic local shop. The deli counter is very good and the homemade meals are excellent. Got all the essentials plus some really good local produce too. The staff are always friendly. Best local shop I have been in!

Visited today, very good virus precautions, lovely coffee, the homemade quiche with caramelized onion was superb!!!

It was open, polite, and had what l wanted.

Polite engaging staff. Pies and platter take away are excellent value

Excellent place with brilliant staff. A small selection of essential groceries but mainly a selection of amazing home made food and gifts

Absolute gem of a place. Restaurant quality at cafe prices and lovely, friendly staff. Hope to return soon.

We visited with our grandaughter for lunch and couldn’t fault the choice, price or quality of the food on offer. How lovely to meet and be looked after by such a genuinely nice bunch of people. What an asset to the village.

Ten stars! Brilliant little café. Friendly and efficient staff team. Really nice variety in menu. Cawood is the better for the Pickled Postie.

We set out on a daily walk, only the two of us, from Selby to Cawood, vis Wistow on-route. Weather was on our side, whilst cool, it was dry.Our trip was to make a visit The Pickled Postie, we have to say, what a great place.We were greeted by smiley happy looking & welcoming staff.The place was warm, clean and set our mood for a great light lunch.Not disappointed, great food, well presented and similarly delivered.Attention to detail was very good, table attention attentive, but not overboard.The Welsh Rarebit & Eggs Benedict were delicious. Great portions, indeed so good, we had no room for the fabulous dessert on offer.This means another visit, SOON...to embibe in pudding.The coffee is one of the best we have been delivered in the U.K., on parr with similar in Southern European cities.In all, well worth a visit.

We visited the pickled postie to get some lunch but we were told the stopped serving at 2pm it was about 2.15 the lady behind the counter said she would ask if Ian would serve us he said yes and we had to lovely sandwiches 1 ham and chutney the other cheese and onion marmalade very tasty.We called back a couple of days later and bought a pork and mushy pea pie and a cornflakes slice both of which were delicious. Thank you Ian for feeding 2 hungry campers

Terrible service. Stood waiting in the shop for 25 minutes for a take away tuna sandwich. I paid up and left before getting the take away soup ordered at the same time as the sandwich. Some advance warning of the waiting time would have been good for a tradesman in a hurry!

Really friendly and well priced. They've been letting me use their WiFi until mine is up and running and have been so welcoming

Came for lunch. Even though a staff member saw us arrive and sit down, we were not offered a menu and sat waiting patiently for 15 minutes before seeking out menus for ourselves. We waited again and it was only when two other groups came in and ordered that we were able to ask if we could order as we had been waiting for over 20 minutes. Once we had ordered we were told there would be a 20 minute wait for food! When it eventually came it was lovely but this is not the first time I have had a lengthy wait here. The girl who we eventually persuaded to serve us did apologise for the wait but being ignored isn’t a great start to lunch! a shame because it does put you off returning.

Fabulous food really scummy cakes and great salads. There us also a shop so took home a vanilla slice for a friend. We'll worth the trouble of finding it. Staff are great, there seems nothing is too much trouble for them. 100%recommend.

Great coffee and cake and friendly staff

Visited lunchtime and was warmly welcomed by the owner. Aqn efficient and pleasant waitress who,when asked for Cheesy chips with our sausage rolls, said it was no problem. They were delicious and my capachino was also excellent. Would certainly recommend as a welcoming place to eat and relax and they have a good choice of menu options.

Great place for cake and coffee

Staff are excellent and food very tasty, a breath of fresh air .....service and a smile.

The Ploughman's lunch on our first visit was amazing. Returned a couple of months later again for lunch, triple decker sandwich for me and ham sandwich, both with delicious chips. Friendly and great service.

Turned up unannounced with a group of ten cyclists. After the initial shock we were really well looked after with friendly service and great coffee, tea, cakes, scones and even some rocky road (fortunately the only rocky road of the day).

Smashing little cafe , very friendly staff nothing is to much trouble for them

Village post office.newsagent.cafe and food to take away excellent

Very hospitable host's, great tasting food freshly cooked.

Having heard good things about this place - including reviews here - four of us went in on Tuesday morning for breakfast. Lovely friendly welcome, and the full English is one of the nicest I've ever had (and I've had a few!). The others had great food too - my wife's eggs Benedict had home-made hollandaise sauce. Really good quality. The only downside was that we had quite a long wait for the food - one of the staff hadn't turned in and so they were struggling to keep up. We would definitely go again (and will do -it's not far from home)

Wonderful breakfast thank you.

After going for a delightful walk in nearby Bishop Wood, we ventured into Cawood looking for somewhere to have lunch.Whilst the external signage for the Pickled Postie looked like it served food, it wasn't clear if they had a seating area (though looking through the windows we were able to see it ).The Pickled Postie is a post office, deli, village shop and cafe all under one roof. The deli counter selling three types of pork pie, sausage rolls and a range of other savouries and cakes. the shop has a few cards, groceries, wine, and everyday items that people of the village may need. The cafe is approximate 20 covers situated towards the rear of the shop.We were greeted warmly by the two ladies as we entered and were brought menus to the table. The menu is small, but with plenty of choice to suit most people and reasonably priced (bacon/sausage sandwiches, breakfast, cold sandwiches, etc. ) There is also a specials board with items like eggs benedict and the creamy garlic mushrooms (which we both had). The coffee is tasty and served strong.The decor and ambience of the place is lovely. Bright, welcoming, comfortable and very friendly. Loved the duck wallpaper (go see).The garlic mushrooms were absolutely delicious and a perfect sized portion. Served in a dish with two slices of buttered granary toast. We brought home a cream slice and carrot cake as were too full to eat it there - both of which were divine!They also do special food evenings - most of the "tapas nights" were fully booked which was great to see!We will most definitely be back - I would even make a special trip! The Pickled Postie deserves to be a resounding success and I sincerely hope it is!

Me and my other half have spent a week in this lovely village and we tried this place for breakfast this morning and we are disappointed, disappointed in our selfs that we left it to nearly the last day to try absolutely amazing food fantastic service and the quality of the food was wonderful would recommend also we will definitely be back Thank you to the chef the owner and the staff

We were looking for somewhere different to take my Mother in Law for lunch and found this on Facebook. It was busy as we arrived but we managed to get a table and the staff were so friendly. We had the ploughman’s lunch and it was so filling and such good value for money . As we were so full we couldn’t eat anything else but we bought a small lemon meringue pie and a slice of carrot cake to take home and wish we had purchased some more for our Daughter they were so good. We will be back and will try breakfast next time . Thank you

Heard good things about this place so decided to try it out for a family breakfast. It was great, we stayed for hours, the food was lovely as were the staff, nothing was too much trouble. The full breakfast was amazing, also lots of options for eggs etc. And the has brown was really good. The rarebit with bacon was spot on too. The food isn’t fast but it’s clearly all made fresh so it doesn’t matter, the coffee is good and it’s a nice place to sit. Great bit of local enterprise, we will be coming back!

Visited with my sister for lunch. We both had sandwich with homemade soup which was delicious, the coffee was excellent as we love our coffee and the cakes to die for. Can recommend the carrot cake.

After being recommended to try by a couple of friends tried this lovely place for lunc with my sister. From walking through the door into the shop/post office/cafe was greeted by both ladies who were so friendly from start to finish. Loved the deco and feel to it.

Fabulous food and wonderful staff as always. Loving the cake and coffee deal.

I have used the pickled postie before for sandwiches or to eat in and I’ve always liked it but I stopped by today on the way home from hospital and had the best full English I think I’ve ever had. Everything was cooked perfectly - poached eggs in particular. The staff are very relaxed and friendly and it makes it a real pleasure to spend time in the small cafe. Highly recommended

Visited for breakfast, lovely atmosphere definitely worth the visit , staff are friendly and welcoming , overall good service and good ambience ! Will visit again :))

Some lovely selections of pork pies, freshly made sandwiches and cakes. Lovely shop and the cafe looked like it had a very lovely atmosphere.

Having recently moved to one of the neighbouring villages I was so excited when the Pickled Postie opened up its small café, as the river walk to Cawood is one I really enjoy with my toddler... so having a place to grab a drink and something to eat before the hike home is brilliant.

We only called in for some Latteis after a walk, but what a pleasant surprise, the latties were excellent, but while talking to the owner, never got the name, but we also spoke to Sandra, turns out they cook their own stuff, which includes sausage rolls, pork pies, pizza, talking to chef, who we found out was co owner, they also do bistro nights, and they are quite successful, also talking to a lad later and we got talking and I said we didn’t know it was there, turns out he had just been for a sausage roll, and says they are full of meat and so tasteful, he said that all their products were excellent, I don’t eat so I couldn’t tell you, but when I went back later it was heaving, so if you want friendly staff and unique surroundings go give it a try, I can assure you, you will be pleasantly surprised

This shop is delightful selling lovely cakes & pastries, milk & other groceries. Also some lovely cups & other things. There is a small area to have a cuppa. Friendly service.

Always a friendly welcome at the PP. Excellent service and super food. What's not to like 😀

Brilliant village shop and post office very friendly helpful staff scrummy cakes nice cafe lovely coffees

Four of us had a really enjoyable time at the pickled postie last Saturday lunchtime. We booked in advance and we were glad we did as it was constantly busy. We did have to wait half an hour from ordering to receiving our meals but that’s because everything really is cooked and prepared to order and everyone agreed it was worth the wait. We watched in eager anticipation as the chatty waitresses delivered plate after plate of enormous sandwiches and platters to other diners, taking in the very cute rustic decor. (What excellent use of what is really quite a small space at the back of the rejigged post office,a shop and deli too) Two of us had ploughman’s, pork pie, ham and cheese ! Huge portions but guess what? We finished every bit! Mum had a cream tea and my sister had cottage pie with homemade chips and homemade coleslaw. Yummy! Nobody was disappointed. We will be going again very soon and recommending it to everyone!

Found this by chance, great place to call when out on the bike, friendly and helpful staff.👍☕

Waw this little place has it all.

Love the new cafe. Food is lovely and reasonably priced. Staff are fantastic too.

Lovely staff good carry out food and meals First visit this weekend since renovations and addition of tearoom. Had lunch on Saturday absolutely First Class. Fish Finger Sandwiches Awesome and went well with the glass of Prosecco....great service, friendly caring staff, good value for money. Wish you well in your new venture Thank you for your care and attention Looking forward to my next visit

Lovely little shop, very well stocked with delicious home baked mini quiches, sausage rolls and various individual lunch items etc as well as a great variety of general merchandise. Very friendly and welcoming place

We are owners of a York Caravan Camping Site also located in Cawood and highly recommend the Pickled Postie to all our guests. A superb traditional Village shop, beautiful presented in the centre of the community and staffed by the most polite and helpful staff.
