The Poorhouse in Hambleton

Stopped here for lunch for the first time today and will definitely be returning. I loved the feel of the place as it was very quirky yet homely. The food was also very good especially the vegetable soup which was just like home made soup you used to make at home The coffee was also excellent Lastly the service was fantastic with all staff we encountered very friendly

Lovely place with good service, and the food was great. On the expensive side, but a nice experience.

Lovely place to eat either in the daytime or the pizza evening's. This place was recommended by the accommodation that we're staying at, well believe me that the recommendation was spot on. The staff and the owner went out of their way when we asked for specific coffee's. We would recommend 100% they go well and beyond with service and the delivery of food.

Lovely coffee and scones. Friendly staff

Bad mistake to order 17 overpriced pizzas with only one pizza oven. Had to wait over 1.5 hours and mine came out undercooked. Then, controversy over payment meant that our group lost out the value of the pizza. Can only conclude that they miscounted. Nice place to drink at, but I would not recommend the pizzas

A very nice and stylish eateries situated on the lower floor of the Captain Cook museum in Great Ayton. A good range of tasty, home cooked food, beers and wines. Both indoor and outdoor, courtyard seating with table service provided. Well worth a visit 👍

Called in for a tea/scone,very disappointed with the scone,small,no fruit and a cover of hard sugar on top.

Gem of a place with a lovely outdoors area to dine. Dog friendly and biscuits for them.

Nice venue and people, but I was expecting a bit more from the limited menu and overpriced food. I paid £9 for two slices of brown bread and some ok sandwich filling and £7.50 for effectively cheese on toast.

First visit to the Poorhouse, but we had a prompt service and great atmosphere.

Have been a few times. Today was the second time that I had a BLT on brown bread to see if it was as good as previously. Sure enough they delivered a faultless sandwich that equalled any of the best that I had ever had. The atmosphere is cosy, clean and quiet. The only downsides being how close some tables are and I'd prefer that dogs are only allowed outside.

We had delicious freshly made sandwiches and drinks. Lucky friendly staff, and great service. We'll have to try the cakes next time, they looked great.

Lovely pizza restaurant. Food was delicious although our starter took 50 minutes to arrive.

The whole experience of dining here was amazing! The people who served us were very helpful, friendly and could not do enough for us. We noticed that they had a big birthday occasion happening but still took the time to fit us in and were very attentive and kind. A big thank you and we will return in the future.

Popped in for a beer while we waited for the micropub nearby to open. Ended up staying for three and having some food. Very friendly place reminiscent of a small tea shop. Very attentive staff in a nice way, helpful but not overbearing. Only two beer on draft, but with them being Shipyard and Wainwright's it was at least two good beers. Food was home cooked style and tasty. Would happily eat here again ... Maybe a little later so we could try the stone baked pizza. The scones and cakes looked great but we didn't try them as we were drinking beers and they don't really go that well. Definitely recommend a look in if you happen to be in Great Ayton.

Lovely little cafe. Really friendly staff, and served a superb oat latte. Wife had a latte and cake, Grandaughter had a fruit tea cake. We love Gt Ayton, history and it’s a lovely walk from one end to the other.

Fab place to go for some yummy pizzas. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Very much recommend it :))

Homemade carrot cake was really fresh and moist absolutely delicious. Staff very good lovely place to meet and enjoy coffee or a meal. Definitely would go again

Great place. Lovely coffee. Outside and inside seating. Good cakes and scones including vegan scones. Oat milk available. Great staff

First of all... Great Ayton is a very cute village. People are nice. I was strolling down the streets and then decided to head to this cafe. Nice and warm environment. Gives all the nice vintage vibes 😅 Staff was nice and patient. Did not feel the pressure to order quickly. It was very busy in there but she (cafe assistant) did find me a spot and my food came within 10. I ordered the soup of the day which was sweet potato, a hot chocolate and chocolate slice. I might visit again coz I want to try the pizza.

I always enjoy coming to The Poorhouse. Good coffee, lovely food, excellent service from friendly staff. You must give try.

We've just spent a lovely couple of hours here, what a great place! We had a variety of drinks and shared the most delicious cheesy garlic bread and Christmas pizza! 😋🍕 Thanks!

Lovely staff, great atmosphere, pizzas are amazing. Good value for money.

Amazing pizzas however when it came to paying the bill the staff decided to make us pay the same other members of our party had chosen to pay effectively give themselves a £32 tip. Refused to show us the bill and said they were too busy to let us pay for what we had so we all had to pay the same amount. Staff exceptionally rude and grumpy

Fantastic little eatery. Very dog friendly with indoor and outdoor space. The pepperoni pizza was delicious- one enough for 2 people. Great spot for us relax in a late afternoon after this leg of the Cleveland Way

Lovely place. Good food, friendly staff, great atmosphere. They will squeeze you on if they can but always best to book ahead. Go on pizza night!

Beautiful locaction fab pizzas and a refreshing beer, great sevice

Had coffee and a fruit scone. It was truly delicious. Service was great, staff really friendly and a lovely atmosphere. I will definately be back.

Had the best pizzas that we have had in years! Staff went out of their way and organised a gluten-free pizza, which was deliscious. Found out the table top did was nit attached to the base when my brother went to push the table slightly away from him and ended up toppling his drink all over him. Had he not been drenched through, we would have spent more time and money.

Cute little place, really cosy with a lovely rear courtyard area. The food was nice and staff very pleasant.

Very expensive for what we had.

Lovely lunch great food and atmosphere. It was busy (not surprisingly) and staff were wonderful to accommodate. Highly recommended and shall be back ! Thanks.

Only serving pizzas apparently which is fine. However, half the pizzas we ordered were forgotten and the ones we did get took too long to come out. They could only put two pizzas in at the same time which I find ridiculous considering that's all everyone in the vecinity had the option of eating. ££££prices were also different on the website. Staff are miserable and rude.

It was my first visit l will definitely visit again.and recommended it to my friends.

Made very welcome And it has got a lot of history to discover About it, Will definitely go back again

It was a lovely little cafe and the staff were lovely, My only reservation is I found it a bit pricey, but still worth the visit

Pleasant place to visit. Nice view of Courtyard, service slow but think this was a technical issue. Had some sourdough toast which was nice.

Great 🍕 and very good service🙂👍

We only popped in for a coffee and cake, both were lovely, I had the fruit scone with just butter and jam, my partner had the victoria sponge cake and a pot of tea. There was plenty of room inside with a few empty seats plus a seating area outside. Very nice staff, we will be back again. Cost in total £12

Lovely place, lovely food and very good service

Cosy cafe with comfy chairs and lovely courtyard to the rear. Friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. Great cappuccinos and cake and tempting menu. Dog friendly. Excellent in every way.

Pizzas were amazing, customer service was spot on and they were able to cater for a large group with ease. Would definitely recommend and will be returning.

Cosy cafe with lovely decor and nice music. Had a delicious cheese and onion toastie

Great atmosphere, friendly staff. Dog friendly with indoor and outdoor seating. Great coffee and food at a good price. I've been numerous times and would highly recommend.

Lovely place, great atmosphere. Had delcious elderflower cake and a pot of tea. Would visit again and recommend to friends.

Gorgeous little place, food simple and delicious.

Very popular cafe/bar. Lovely food and coffee and nice friendly staff. Dog friendly. Will definitely visit again.

Stopped in here after a hike. Absolutely lovely place! great coffees, I had a club sandwich which was delicious. The staff were also super friendly 😊

Friendly service, toasties and scones available and a good selection of alcohol.

V enjoyable return visit by the U3A band to this lovely coffee shop... Esp for the ginger cake & coffee provided afterwards... 😁

Nice and cosy place foods great staff very friendly

We came here on saturday to celebrate a 40th birthday, pizzas were amazing drinks were lovely and the staff were very friendly. Sherry was very helpful and helped me organise a minibus back to our cottage in Easby. looking forward to going back for coffee and cake with my dogs next time. Thanks Bryan Heywood and family :)

Lovely, warm cosy bistro. Great menu options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Great service.

Such a cosy little place, staff are so welcoming, warm and pleasant. Popped in for a coffee and we were tempted to have a scone too. Definitely recommend and will be back.

Really good sourdough pizza, friendly service and buzzy Friday night atmosphere. All good!

Great pizza! Great basket of games to entertain the kids.

My first trip ever to the UK. Stayed in Great Ayton and visited the Poorhouse two evenings for pizza and my first cider. What a great place!! The staff and the manager were very friendly. I look forward to stopping there again, when we visit in the future.

Fabulous place Great atmosphere Lovely staff Highly recommend

Lovely little place . Friendly staff. The atmosphere was very nice . Service very good . Had beautiful pizza on pizza night . Plenty of parking around . Prices very fair. Look forward to visiting again .

Great service and friendly staff the food was delicious 😋 and dog friendly too 👍

Love going to this little hostelry !

Very friendly and relaxed, nice scones :)

Impromptu visit to the poorhouse for a coffee before our walk. Fantastic and very popular place the staff are very welcoming and attentative we ordered coffee and I had I think it was called a roseberry rascal (after the climb we were about to embark on our walk) a type of rock bun with cinnamon accompanied with both Jam and Butter as a bonus for those interested the building as the name suggests has a history which if asked the staff members are more than willing to explain and there's a photo album and printed sheet explain both the history and the owners images of renovation work carried out to get it to its very impressive current state well worth a visit if not just for the coffee and cake as the menu looks impressive too. I've put a photo of Roseberry Topping just to put it in context

Excellent location. Lovely cheese scone

Once again we had a lovely snack lunch. The staff were very polite and accommodating. Great place to visit, well done

Great, friendly place, would definitely call here again. Lovely staff. Dog friendly establishment. Couple of seats out the front on pavement, but the main outdoor seating area is at the back in the very pleasant courtyard garden. It also has an outdoor sheltered area. Does stonebaked pizzas Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. The pizza oven is out in the garden. Popular place. Has fires indoors and hefty ceiling beams. Nicely decorated (apart from the synthetic plants). The green tea was standout amazing. It is also licensed. Recommended for light meals.

Had a lovely lunch here and would definitely recommend a visit

A really nice characterful cafe. Very nice staff! And really good food!

A nice little spot for a catch up with friends 😊- we didn't eat but had a few drinks and wiled away a couple of hours and the staff were very friendly and there was no pressure to move on - thankyou

Very cute and quaint with some of the best baked goods I have had. Very good service and excellent coffee and tea

Visiting this lovely café/ pub is a delight! Friendly atmosphere and staff. Sit out under cover or open air courtyard and sample one or two of the delicious cakes or a butty and while away the time in the middle of Great Ayton!

Lovely helpful staff and very good food. Great relaxing place.

Great atmosphere, and excellent pizzas

Great café in a lovely historic building. Nice staff and owners. Excellent home made scones.

Dog friendly which is great, however £11.50 for 2 pints of Diet Coke, which was poured out of a bottle & a rose berry rascal, which was served warm or offered to be served warm. I think his is so expensive for effectively 2 pints of Diet Coke and a scone.

A lovely place for a morning "coffee" - a tea even - and they serve a bacon sandwich to die for!

Really nice and relaxing place, really friendly and welcoming, the fresh pizza's are gorgeous any chance me and my partner get to go out for cuple hours on a evening we go here, excellent

Homely and authentic with a modern twist, friendly staff good food. Highly recommended the creamy mushrooms on toast with an egg, mwah mwah very nice indeed.

If you come to great ayton go there and have a meal and a drink it is tip top

Very warm welcome, friendly staff

Great pit stop on a cold and wet bike ride. Awesome hot choc and friendly service 👌

A quaint little cafe with history and character. A lovely spot to share a coffee and snacks with friends.

Was there for drinks and live music. Staff really friendly, drinks really good and fantastic atmosphere. Will be back!

Very enjoyable experience, staff were lovely we had soup of the day, which was butternut squash, (spicy) it was delicious, also had Christmas cake with cheese & iced Ginger cake.it was our first time there would highly recommend

Very friendly. Lovely coffee and toast. Nicely decorated, accommodating for my elderly mother in law. Looking forward to returning and sampling the evening menu, also warm summer evenings outside in the courtyard.

Lovely food, bit pricey but you don't mind for quality food. Would go again.

Fabulous place. Wonderful staff, great service and lovely food. Definitely visit.

Tasty food. Pleasant and attentive staff. Nice atmosphere. Just the job for a light lunch.

Perfect pizza 🍕 very welcoming staff pleasant and informative xx

On holiday in the area and stopped here for a quick rest and a drink... The owners , staff and regulars were so friendly we ended up staying for a second drink, a coffee then a beer and then a wood fired pizza.. we loved the pizza so much we went again the next evening.. love the style and atmosphere of the building etc and how inviting the cafe / bar is.. it's one of those places you visit on holiday and you wish it was nearer to where you live... Definitely will visit again if we go to the area on holiday again...

Really lovely hosts, nothing too much trouble. Had pizza here 2 evenings in a row. Was delicious.... Highly recommend, thank you for to lovely meals

Had the Home cook pizza last night and they were very nice and filling. Even sat out side and not to chilli but blankets and hot water bottles are on standby if needed will be back soon 👍
