The Priory in Wyre

My husband and I come here for lunch probably every 2 months or so and we always thoroughly enjoy it. I always have the chicken and bacon ciabatta with salad and it is superb. The salad is very tasty and the ciabatta is full of chicken and bacon and more salad. My husband often tries something different and today he had the steak pie with chips and vegetables which he said was excellent. We'll see you again in a few months. Keep up the good work!

The Priory is a beautiful place. In the heart of a picturesque village. It’s a building full of exquisite stone masonry and woodwork detail. I loved the restaurant. Great food - we were served a delicious liver dish, my husband had the steak pie and was very happy. Beautiful comfortable room. Will be back and have recommended to a work colleague who is on her way in the summer. Thank you for a lovely stay. Veronica.

I booked this accommodation in June of last year 2023 through booking.com. I booked a twin room for myself and my 80 Yr old mum. I live in spain amd would be flying across for my sons wedding. My mum lives in Middlesbrough and would be travelling from there with my brother in law and two nieces. Now ten months on from the original booking I knew I'd had a new bank card within the last year so to air on the side of caution I emailed the priory 3 days before travelling to explain my travel arrangements and expected time of arrival to be 6pm. I explained mum would probably arrive before me so she could pick up keys and get into our room. I asked was it OK for us to pay cash on arrival. As we were sharing the room and cost this would be the easiest way and if mum as there on my arrival I'd just give her half the room fee in cash. I was replied "yes no problem see you friday" After traveling from 8am I arrived at the priory at 6pm to be met by my mum who informed me my room had been cancelled. Confused I was like I have the email from two days ago agreeing the situation of us arriving separately. Let me go speak to reception. Reception and everything else within a t mile radius at least was closed. Even the local pub closed at 5pm. So not only could I not get a drink or snack there was nowhere to go. Mum explained the lady on reception had said the room was cancelled yesterday. When mum explained I'd contacted them then the person on reception seemed to twig on after looking at the computer, repeating my name of booking back to mum looking a little flustered she then appeared flummoxed trying to fix things. Mum said she thinks she realised she had made a mistake. My two nieces had booked into a double room and reception said this room had a locked door with adjoining room we could use. Well after walking upstairs to their room. Small and quite dark dingy looking room with just a side table. No wardrobe or drawers but a door up two more steps leading to an adequate bathroom with shower. On the other side of the bathroom is another door leading to what can only be described as a box room with a "day bed" in. Mum was told the said day bed had a pull out bed underneath. When I tried to pull out the day bed it touched the opposite wall so that meant we didn't even have a space to lay the suitcase down to open. I dragged the daybed around so the main bed was along the left and the pull out bed was at the end of the room. This meant we had at least 1.5sq metres of floor space and could get to the bathroom door without climbing over the other whilst sleeping. Nit ideal in the slightest but whilst moving the pull out bit into position I noticed there were hardly any wooden slats under the mattress to support it. Some broken strewn ones found under the bed which I pulled out and tried to build a bed of some kind. There wasn't enough so I checked under mums mattress for maybe one I could take off her base from the foot end to help support mine. Mum's full 6ft2" long bed had 7 slats on (fixing holes for 15. My bed at most I made with 5 slats. I got into bed carefully knowing this isn't sturdy. At 2.45am I turned over to a bang and it jade given way and collapsed. I couldn't. Ove anywhere as mum's sleeping within arms length and the weddings in 9 hours time. It's imperative she gets her sleep to deal ith the day ahead at 80yrs old. I sat up til she woke at 7. We went down for breakfast at 8 where I was seriously fuming inside but stayed silent just so tired and anxious for the day ahead. On leaving the dining room the lady who had been kn reception approached me outside to discuss the matter insisting the room had been cancelled. I explained we had spoken 3 days prior and she said yes I thought it odd when you'd emailed me the day before. I questioned why she hadn't thought to drop me an email. She said you cancelled. I did not cancel, booking.com cancelled unbeknown to me She asked could she find us another hotel but explained it would be a few mile away.no good as now it's 9.45am and the wedding at 12.30. I don't have time to repack, move and get ready for the wedding. I asked could she fix the bed situation whilst we were out as I'd not slept to whixh she agreed. I returned from the wedding at 6.45pm exhausted leaving the wedding party in full swing. The bed hadn't been repaired they'd simply brought another mattress in and put it on top of the other one that's on the floor. So I'm now laid on two matresses. The worst nights sleep and a distressing time for what should of been one of the happiest days of my life. Breakfast was superb but other than that its dated, in need of a refurb, new beds and the stair carpets filthy. I wouldn't stay again even if it was free.

Lovely cosy venue. Staff helpful and food very tasty. Thunder and lightning ice cream waffle cone was exceptionally good. Rooms clean and comfortable. We stayed for three nights as part of wedding party and could have stayed longer. Will be going back. Thank you.

Ideal location for coffee and cake before a cycle ride. Parking limited but access easy from the A6 and surrounding countryside. Friendly staff and a very small wood burning stove help a warm atmosphere. Coffee is good, I suspect a robusta/arabica blend, and the textured milk foam was just a little wet for a flat white. The cheesy crumpets are a revelation, try the extra bacon!

Enjoyed a fab 2 night stay. Friendly staff, nice clean room and excellent breakfast. Even welcomed our dog with a nice juicy sausage for his brekkie too. Would recommend, and stay again

Clean tidy, friendly staff, Breakfast that could last you all day. We used it as a centre for a wedding, so visited several times during the day, always ample parking. Would recommend to anyone, Idealy located for near by wedding venue 10 minutes walk, but also fishing near by plenty of walks etc.

Although we had a small room, it was clean and serviceable. The breakfast was amazing and the lady who looked after us was outstanding. She was an equal balance of friendliness and efficiency. We would definitely stay here again.

We stayed yesterday evening to be met by Rachel. What a star! We love our tea, she made sure we had supplies of tea and milk. Then breakfast, Rachel made sure everything we requested, was there for us. Couldn’t fault her Customer care. A total asset to this business. You are very lucky to have her on your payroll. Keep pleasant Rachel as it is a massive plus xx

Me and my mum and my sister and my support worker Bev came for coffee and an ice cream but the coffee wasn’t warm it was freezing and ice cream was delicious but the member of staff in the van and in the ice cream parlour the manners were absolutely aweful not great customer service

Staff were very polite and helpfull. The food was brilliant,the best chips I have had in ages. I can honestly say this is the best place for food in the district.

This hotel is conveniently located a short distance from junction 37 on M6 It is a good location to stop off when travelling north to southPoky bedroom with not enough space for clothing and suitcasesWifi worked well and free to useBedroom decorations were dowdy and would benefit from a fresh revampIt became clear during our stay that apart from my husband and my husband and I, that there was nobody else on the premises overnight. I was concerned and unhappy that we were alone at night in premises that we were not familiar with in case of an emergency during the night.The bathroom sink mirror is designed for giants. It was useless for a mere mortal like me.There was no bathroom sink plug meaning you have to wash with running water onlyThe flush for the toilet was brokenThe Proprietor doubled up as the Receptionist and Breakfast Chef and Breakfast Waitress. She did all these tasks efficiently. She was very friendly and most charming. She made up for the poor shortcoming of this place

We were here today - 12 June 2021 and were totally unimpressed by everything!There was only room outside and the waitress pointed to ‘a table’ where we could sit and walked off to get us a menu. We were a little confused about which of the two empty tables she had pointed to and sat at one of them, which had not been cleaned. When she returned, we asked her to specify which table she had pointed to - she said, “Either”, so we moved to the other table which was still vacant. The waitress then moved some pots off this table and asked for our drinks order. I thought it was quite strange, as I am aware that tables are usually sprayed and wiped down after somebody has previously dined there - more so since this pandemic started and is continuing. This table was also dirty, with ice cream spilt on it. Not once did anybody come to clean this table!! The waitress had also dropped a fork on the floor by our table to which she said she would come back to collect. Another waitress, who had cleared (AND CLEANED) another table shortly after, walked by and dropped a knife on the floor - she said the same. None of them bothered to collect them!Our drinks arrived fairly quickly but we waited three quarters of an hour for our meals! In fact, even people arriving after us were being served their meals before us.I had ordered the steak burger with chips and salad (SALAD was stated on the menu) and my partner had ordered fish and chips.When our meals finally arrived, there was NO SALAD - just vegetables of leek, carrots and another veg. Who on earth would have vegetables with a steak burger?? I told the waitress it was SUPPOSED to come with salad - I didn’t want vegetables. It was then taken away and the veg replaced with salad (another delay)!! By the time it was returned, the chips had gone cold. The steak burger was tough and was not nice at all. Furthermore, the red wine which we had ordered tasted to me like it had gone slightly sour (either that or it was corked, which I would doubt these days, as more often than not, wines usually come in screw top bottles). My partner has never had an excellent sense of taste and he thought it was just okay.I also noticed a couple at another table who had ordered the same meals as us. The lady had also been given vegetables with her steak burger, she had complained and was brought some salad to the table. It was around 15 minutes later that the gentleman received his fish and chips.It wasn’t as if they were short staffed as there were plenty of staff serving at the tables.As the “dropped knife and fork” were STILL on the floor, my partner picked them up and put them on our table before we left. Anybody could have walked/tripped on them - there were several people using walking sticks, including myself!This was our first visit and most definitely our last!!!!!

We had the ploughman's, very filling. Service is great. Nice ambience, Table spread out for social distancing

We went here for breakfast which was delicious!! on a cold day there was a roaring fire. The lady serving us was really friendly. following all the new covid rules it felt clean and safe

What others have described as nice decor, I found bizarre and pretentious. I can’t speak for the restaurant but the cafe has very little atmosphere and no beer other than in expensive bottles. The rather odd outsized fixtures, a giant mirror, a large clock , an oversized planter and the tiled floor make this a rather uncomfortable space. People seemed to be enjoying the food but if all you want is a drink it’s not somewhere that I’d recommend.

Excellent food and even better service. Had sandwiches and hot drinks that were all very fresh and very good quality. The young lady serving my wife and I was very pleasant and efficient. A pleasure and happy to pay slightly more than I would have expected.

Fantastic, great service, our doggie was given ice cream amazing. Had sweet chili fish cakes to start. Wonderful

After a walk called in for a drink ... asked for two halves of larger to be told only have bottles... we agreed to that and after receiving a glass with lipstick on waited to pay .... IT COST £8.40 for two bottles which we found on the spar across the road at £1.15.... while people call to help the hospitality trade then daylight robbery doesn’t bode well.... we could have said no but too polite as they were in front of on the bar!!!! Shocking !!!! Won’t be going back so be warned of the over exaggerated prices .... poor end to our day !!!’n

Amazing food and great staff, however very disappointed with the atmosphere, it also takes about a decade for the food to arrive and then take a look at the bill! Like £5 for a lemonade!But would 100% go back!Cheesy garlic bread is to die for!

We had a family lunch here - it was lovely. We parked easily outside and found a table in the sun. My daughter and I had delicious fish and chips but unfortunately we had eaten before my husbands ploughman's lunch had arrived. Good choice of drinks served in nice glasses. We particularly liked the Honey Beer.

Honestly one of tastiest breakfast I have ever had. Service with a smile and a relaxing atmosphere with outdoor seating if required. Julie, Anita and the staff are so accommodating and can supply maps for a pre or post breakfast stroll. Something for everyone!

We love it at The Priory. We stayed in the hotel which is absolutely fine with everything you need for a short break. The restaurant is outstanding with some of the best food and very generous portions. All ingredients are locally sourced too. Again I had the lasagne which is still the best I have ever had - even from an Italian restaurant. The Ploughman's salad was unbelievable on the following evening! Lovely fresh salad with fruit, 4 local cheeses, 2 big chunks of granary bread, coleslaw & chutney. My husband had the fish and chips on the first evening which consisted of a lovely large piece of fish, some chunky chips, mushy peas & tartare sauce. On the second evening he had the steak burger which again was very large with a bowl of accompanying salad and some french fries. Excellent value for money for all meals. Breakfast is included in the price of the room and is always perfectly cooked. There is also a good choice of cereals, fruit & yoghurt. The restaurant is quirky but so very relaxing with a really nice ambience. All the staff are wonderful! They all work so hard, very efficient but calm, warm & friendly. They make you feel welcome and nothing seems to be too much trouble. We look forward to returning again in a few months time

Attentive member of staff. I had fish & chips which were okay. The batter needed to be crisper and the chips (6) were very large. Others in the group said that their chips needed to be cooked for longer. Only a few people dining so the place lacked atmosphere. It took quite a while for our food to arrive.

My friends and I came here after a long walk and we received a warm welcome from the lovely staff. The setting is lovely and cosy and the scenery is beautiful. We were seated right away and our orders were taken promptly. Our food arrived in a very reasonable time and it was absolutely delicious! I ordered the cheese pie with homemade chips and salad (highly recommend). We were all very impressed and satisfied with both the service and the delicious food. Thank you for making our visit a good experience - I will certainly be returning!

Lovely place, friendly staff, me and friends had coffee and a catch up and sat outside in the lovely sunshine. Would definitely go back ! Thanks

A very successful party. The room looked lovely in the evening due to rustic charm and lighting . Food very good and lots of it . All informal and easy going. Family from Canada stayed at the venue too and really enjoyed it saying they would stay again .

The place is big with various seating options.Menu is similarly varied and carries various choices of food.We tried the beef and ale pie which was really great. Also had french fries to go with it, Here they look more like wedges than fries.Service was friendly.

First visit to the priory today for afternoon tea. Staff are friendly and the surroundings are fabulous - that’s all the positives.The afternoon tea - looked nice!The sandwiches - Gammon ok nothing special, chicken was lovely - toasted with a splash of stuffing, smoked salmon - no seasoning, cream cheese (nope) lemon juice (nope), Cheese & Branston ok nothing special.Cakes - tasted stale/dry! Scone was already done with jam & cream - huge and again abut on the dry side.Wouldn’t rush back - sorry!We went over to ‘The Barn’ for a walk round the garden centre and it was packed! Next time

We loved our visit to this restaurant today. Lovely decor, very friendly and efficient staff. It’s dog friendly too and the food was amazing! What’s not to like! We will definitely be visiting again soon.

A very relaxing & enjoyable place to eat, having stayed here a couple of nights in the hotel with my dog (both hotel & front restaurant being dog friendly) I can say that the breakfast, lunch & evening meal were absolutely lovely with a great choice of menu for all three occasions with a good choice of wines, beers & spirits to accompany. The staff were very attentive, polite & nothing seemed rushed which resulted in a pleasant atmosphere. Fortunately the weather was good so I was also able to enjoy a meal & drink outside overlooking 'the square' of Scorton. Thank you all staff :)

After a long day walking it was lovely to be able to relax in our stylish bedroom suite.

This was the worst 'hotel' we have stayed in. My wife and myself have just returned from an overnight stay at this hotel. The web site describes it as a luxuirious hotel serving exquisite food. It certainly is not and certainly did not. The pictures on their web site of the food do not represent what is actually on offer. We dined in the cafe bar as the restaurant was closed, although the same food is served in there. The food was very poor and the deserts were inedible. At 21.00 we were told that the cafe bar was closing and we would have to leave but we could use the guest lounge . The hotel at this time, was in complete darkness, no one on reception, totally locked up. I was given a dirty tray to carry our drinks on and shown this so called lounge. This was a dirty room full of disused old furniture with no curtains and smelled very damp. Today, when we asked for a copy of our bill, we found they had put an extra drink and a plate of food on our room, even though we were the only ones staying. We complained to the staff in the morning and were told that the 'guest lounge' was going to be closed and should not have been used, despite being told the night before that it was going to be refurbished. The hotel is in need of a complete refurb as it looks presently as though it is about to close. This was a Christmas present and we were both very dissappointed as the money could have been far better spent.

Used to come here in the 1970s so was really happy when my son and his wife suggested we paid it a visit.

Just had a full english at the priory. The best i have had. Very friendly staff. Everything cooked to perfection. Will be returning and recommending to family and friends.....

Visited the priory for breakfast today with friends, very dissatisfied to say the least. The place lacked atmosphere and the staff were only just welcoming. The breakfast was very poor eggs greasy, overcooked sausages baked beans burnt black pudding horrible just really poor quality. It appeared that most of the food had been re heated. Will not be eating there again really dissapointed in the quality of everthing

We attended a friend’s 60th here.

Many of my family live all over the country so we decided to go here as it was in a central location and not far from the M6. Many of us stayed here to as they have bedrooms.

We visited The Priory on new year’s day after a beautiful walk over Nicky Nook. It was absolutely packed so we were glad we’d booked!

Normally quite good (friendly service, great food, nice atmosphere ) but can sometimes be very hit and miss. Here’s a picture of some of my food from our last visit...

We came on bikes and had lunch. Very friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. The food was really good and they welcome dogs, which is great.

Called in at The Priory on Boxing Day, the place was packed but even so it still feels very special, the food was once again excellent and it is always a pleasure to see the staff. The Priory Scorton = Bliss

Popped in on bikes other day to warm up from the icy rain. Lovely soup and sandwich to refuel and fab pot of Milky Coffee. Water bottle toppedup and ready to go again! Thanks

Received our usual warm welcome.....After a lovely long bike ride around the Trough on Boxing Day we had a beautiful meal. Despite being very busy, service was excellent and I must say I dont know where previous reviewers have been going but as cyclists have always been made to feel very welcome! Have visited The Priory for many years and is still our favorite stop. Thank you for a lovely afternoon!

We often visit scorton on bike rides and i have to say that the priory at scorton is very bad it is meant to be a cyclist type cafe/restaurant but they wont even let you leave bikes outside!!!! The barn across the road is so much better food is better people are nicer!!! Dont bother with this restaurant.

We stopped for lunch and were politely asked to not put our bikes against the wrought iron railings because they were too flimsy or not attached properly. Didn't really make sense to me and meant we couldn't leave our bikes where we could keep an eye on them.

we went for a ride out for lunch and ended up in Scorton we called in our usual place which was heaving with people ...tooo many really ...so thought we would have a little walk around the town to see what it offers and we saw the Priory...its a lovely little resteraunt it did have quite a few people inside but not overly packed i had the potatoe and meat pie off the special board ,it was lovely and not too expensive would definatley go back again ,breakfast i think :)

Stopped in for lunch before walking to Nicky Nook. Lovely beef stroganoff and lamb burger. Friendly efficient staff were happy to adapt my meal for my dietary needs

Stopped off here today as we were passing..

Great dog friendly place to stay, rooms spacious and comfortable ( we have two large dogs ) breakfasts were amazing, nearly beat me both mornings but managed in the end to finish them. Evening meal choice was good and food delicious. Staff were so friendly and obliging will definately stay again for the forth time! As a dog owner you just got to love the place.

Called in for Breakfast this morning, lovely place, beautiful decor and a really excellent full English breakfast, pleasant staff, would definitely recommend. 10/10

We go often walking around Scorton. Our highlight of the walks. Stopping for coffee at the priory. We called to the priory today. 4 coffees £11. No problem with the cost. HOWEVER.. The cups dirty, coffee pots with old coffee stains on them and to add insult. Dried egg on the coffee pots. Absolutely disgusting. NEVER AGAIN. It will never put us off visiting Scorton. It will be the Barn across the road for coffee next time. Sorry Priory I never thought in. Million years would I write a bad review for you. I always recommend you to friends. Never agian.

Having done a lovely circular walk around, up and over Nicky Nook we called in at The Priory for a snack lunch. Nothing fancy, just soup and sandwiches, both of which were very nice. Beer was very good as well.

Best goats cheese tart ever.... Chunky chips really are... Breakfasts are freshly cooked and fabulous

Went for lunch, had a massive ploughmans meal. Expensive and the place was empty. Would I go again..... probably not with The Barn just across the road.

The staff were polite and very smart . The main course showed a wide variety which unfortunately the desserts did not.

Went for a ladies lunch today. Food as usual was great with their home made soups excelling as usual. Lovely village pub and very quirky! Staff /Hosts lovely and very friendly. We all had the much loved soup and a sandwich which is good value around £6-£7 for the duo.Would recommend and will return again when in the location of this lovely village of Scorton.

The staff were friendly and efficient. My husband opted for the lamb henry, which he said was cooked to perfection, beautifully tender, I opted for the Beef Stroganoff, which was absolutely delicious. We both had the sticky toffee pudding for desert, which was lovely. The restaurant is tastefully decorated and found the wood burner very welcoming on a cold evening. The manager Julie was very friendly and helpful, all in all a wonderful experience. Thank Julie for a great evening...we will be back!

The staff were great, really friendly and we give top marks to them. Unfortunately the food was really mediocre. Because the staff were so nice we didn't know how to tell them when they asked if everything was alright. My partner had sea bass which was fine but it wasn't restaurant standard. I had beef stroganoff which looked like strew and tasted like pate. I wish I read about this on here before as I would have avoided it. We felt like we'd gone back in time with the decor and the food and were very disappointed.

Head south from Scotland for the Easter weekend, we stopped off for a sumptuous lunch in Lancashire with family, before heading further south. Scorton is a delightful village and we got parked in the car park for patrons of the The Priory. Service was informal and very friendly and the food arrived after a short wait. Which was actually great as we caught up with family. I had the steak pie and my wife had the battered fish. Both were sumptuous and generous portions, with the fat chips delightful. Overall great lunch on Good Friday and a great stop off point for a few hours, which made the remainder of our journey, more bearable!

Being to lazy to walk half a kilometre with our shopping we decided to have lunch here. Our first impression was that it was very much a wine bar however we were warmly welcomed and drinks brought to our table. We both ordered toasties which were well filled with quality ingredients and served with a salad that was heavy on lolo rosso and not much else. The accompanying chutney and coleslaw were excellent though. Whilst there our fellow diners included walkers, families and ladies who lunched giving a lovely welcoming ambiance to the place. Will gladly call in again

What a pleasant place to eat. We had a light lunch and it was very nice. The soup and sandwich deal is a bargain. The prices are reasonable and the food is excellent. The staff are friendly. The log fire is nice and warm.

Lovely deco comfortable, clean and friendly staff. Food is top notch and a good selection would definitely recommend

Lovely food here for the price. Great quality. the staff are very friendly! They also have a good balance of...

Stopped here for a coffee and a piece of rich fruit cake and a fruit scone jam and cream. Well, I make scones myself, and I have to say, it was easily the best scone I have ever had, it was soft, warm and moist - excellent! And the rich fruit cake was very good too. Highly recommend.

We stayed at the Priory for two nights for our daughters wedding. Perfect venue, excellent food, staff couldn't do enough for us. Highly recommended , thank you .

Después de haber visitado el priorato durante varios años, para las comidas, bebidas y celebraciones que puedo decir que nunca he tenido una mala comida, el servicio siempre ha sido rápido y eficiente, la nueva decoración es fantástica y se puede recomendar la tienda de venta de ropa deportiva y ecuestre. Los propietarios son amables y siempre tome un segundo para saludar a pesar de estar ocupados.

Aquí, nos alojamos aquí y aún llevando la camiseta, la comida es fantástica, con productos regionales y realmente se puede probar la diferencia. Ambos tuvimos hamburguesas de carne y debo decir que es la mejor hamburguesa que he probado nunca. Pruébalo, te encantará.

My husband and I eat here last Saturday after having a wonder into Scorton, we stopped for a drink as it was a lovely day and we decided to eat here as time neared tea time...My husband had the salmon and prawn salad which looked amazing and plentiful, I had the beef stroganoff which was reasonably priced on the menu to my surprise ! It wasn't very busy I have to say and the food did take a while to arrive.Instant food envy at my husbands salad! My beef was slow cooked, braised...which is lovely is you like that kind of thing...unfortunately I don't not only that the taste wasn't right...it was missing cream and flavour! It was in essence just a gravy, just a stew...I don't like stew, it's not what I ordered but I was hungry and I ate it. Disappointed greatly...

Eaten here quite a few occasions & cannot fault the place always made welcome staff always friendly service excellent & food is always good well cooked & tasty.

We stayed in The Priory hotel for 2 nights over the Scorton village festival weekend, lovely place, fantastic food and really well looked after.

The food was outstanding, but the service was underwhelming and slow. Atmosphere was unusual but never the less a good pub. Very quite and they seem to have very odd opening times especially for evening meals.

Good food, good menu, lovely very decor friendly staff. Lovely place to stay been here many times highly recommend

We have visited this establishment a few times and have never been disappointed. Lovely friendly staff and gorgeous surroundings. A perfect Sunday afternoon x

We have many lovely meals at the Priory and decided to celebrate our wedding anniversary in this lovely restaurant... we were not dissappointed...as usual the standard of food was excellent, the staff were friendly and attentive and the lovely warm and inviting atmosphere made everything just perfect.. The owner/manageress was especially lovely, making sure everything was right for usIf you are ever in this neck of the woods I heartily recommend you visit the Priory

We have visited the café /bar most weeks for the past few months for breakfast at weekend it has been excellent. We decided to visit for an evening meal.My husband had a starter which was OK we then waited 40 minutes for our main course.My husband choses seafood pasta with tomato//herb sauce prawns and fillet of cod.When it arrived it was dried up,no sauce,2 shrimps the fish was not cod, it was grey and stale. He could not eat it ,it was not even the standard of a cheap ready meal. While he didn't pay for it our evening was ruined and he had not had any food, Very very disappointing

We had a pod booked for the weekend and wanted to find somewhere to eat when we arrived. We ended up in The Priory in Scorton. We had "nibbles" to start with followed by steak. Thesteak came with Garston blue cheese which was gorgeous. We had a very lovely meal and the place was loveky too.

After a 250 mile journey north, ending up in The Priory restaurant in this tiny village was a pleasant relief. The hotel manager was serving and some hearty food with accompanying drinks were quickly served.Service was polite, decorous but friendly, in fact very typical of the north.The atmosphere was homely with a roaring stove and subdued lighting - an altogether pleasant pit stop!Make sure you have at least one chip as the size is really something to behold and perfectly cooked, crisply on the outside, white and fluffy inside

I visited the Priory quite recently after going on a leisurely walk through Scorton with family. The restaurant welcomes all comers from cyclists and walkers to more formal guests. The food was absolutely amazing and presented perfectly in the newly 'done up' Priory which looks brilliant. The staff were excellent also. The only negative would be that there is no ambient music.

Arrived with family initially to eat at the Barn, but my powers of persuasion succeeded and we ate in the Priory.I enjoyed the char grilled chicken with skinny fries, don't mistake these for the train wreck they call "fries" at McDonald's, these are the real article. The black pepper sauce was absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend the Priory. Only one slight criticism it can be pricey, but you certainly get the quality of food you order. Definitely would go again if I'm in the north or back in England!

Had lunch at the priory yesterday it was very busy we were glad we had booked , had a table in the window on the front room, waiter great with us even though it was busy , the food excellent we had pies and their special chips with vegetables Paul had sandwiches with salad ect after we had apple stem ginger with custard Denise had profiture rolls looking forward to another visit there soon well worth a visit .

Decided to try the well known Nicky Nook walk that starts in Scorton, we went into Stouts bar that is part of the Priory for a very pleasant coffee before hand and after two hours of walking, went back for a couple of beers and lunch. We both thought the two specials we had were first class and I commented the mixed vedge of diced leeks, carrots and green beans had been cooked perfectly and really I have not had vedge as nice for many years. The staff are very helpful and friendly and the bill did not break the bank. We will be returning soon for another walk and a lunch.

We have visited the Priory on many occasions and have never been disappointed. The food is cooked and presented to an exceptionally high standard, the rib eye steak locally sourced was in one word exquisite.

We have eaten here many times and always enjoyed the food. We just had some nibbles on this occasion but they were still very enjoyable. Staff are always polite. If you want to go on a Sunday I suggest you book.

We booked a table after being recommended to go by a few people over the past few months and were really glad we did. The food was excellent and the decor and surroundings were really nice. The wood burner is a lovely focal point and was exactly what we needed after a chilly walk!The steak pie was what I'd call a 'proper' pie. Homemade with plenty of steak chunks inside and a beautiful gravy and buttery pastry. My wife had the gammon which was not only huge, but really succulent and tasty. The fries and chunky chips were both excellent too. Unfortunately didn't have room for a dessert but we'll definately be back so will be trying one next time.

Arrived for lunch with reservation, running late but had phoned and was told that was fine . Sat at table for half hour and had eventually to ask for menus . Order was taken relatively quickly but after that all went downhill . Waited nearly an hour for starters then overheard member of staff telling someone to check that kitchen had started our order - starters eventually arrived about thirty mins later . These were fine and relatively tasty . Then waited another half hour for mains - well!!!! Salmon and cod were both overcooked and the slow cooked lamb was like eating shoe leather , steak pie however was apparently quite good . I did try to catch the eye of a staff member but was studiously ignored and no one came to check that all was okay . We decided not to order desserts in case it took another hour . There was definitely something strange going on as the staff seemed stressed and quiet . Given the food I wondered if the chef was not there and they were trying to cope - unsuccessfully . We were not the only unsatisfied customers , but when issues were mentioned to staff member all she could give was a standard apology with no offer of reduction in bill . I would not hurry back to this establishment . We were there with friends we were visiting who had heard good things about the restaurant and the poor service and food did spoil the enjoyment of the day .

This is a lovely venue, very pretty and the staff are really friendly. However there was a wedding being held in the function room when we arrived for a meal in the restaurant, and maybe because of this there were no staff anywhere to be found for about 5 minutes. When staff did turn up they were very helpful and we ordered our food.Then there was a wait of about half an hour before the food arrived, and bizarrely due to the wedding the food couldn't be brought directly from the kitchen as it would have had to come through the function room. Instead the staff had to take it out onto the road and through the car park, so it was lucky it wasn't raining.The food was very nice, and the portions were good (especially the fish), but some of it was a bit cold.So all in all a good experience, but when there's a wedding on it seems to have quite a big negative impact on the restaurant which is a shame and needs some better planning I would suggest.

Very good food but a bit pricey. We were with a pre-booked group on a day out and were seated upstairs in the building.

Stopped off in Scorton to have an ice-cream and ended up having lunch in this small restaurant just across the street. The food is good but not special and the service could have been a little more friendly. The dining room however is lovely with a wood burner.

That afternoon tea we had was very nice, a good assortment of sandwiches, and nice scones and cakes. We were the only people sat inside the venue, a few outside, and this made the atmosphere a bit cold. Lovely decor, but lacked a little personal attention, we waited a good 10 minutes to pay, with no one around to take our money, with no one else in there, and no way to attract attention, we just had to wait until someone appeared.

Called in for Lunch, my friend had scrumptious Cheese and Onion pie with chips and salad, I had cod in a white wine and prawn sauce from the specials board with boiled potatoes and veg. equally delicious followed by Eaton Mess and I had the home made Blackcurrant pie. nice surroundings very friendly and efficient staff which all contributed to a very enjoyable relaxed lunch

Spent much more time sampling the Priory menu, whilst staying there for a weekend. The Sunday Dinner was one of the best I have had and the desserts are well worth a try if you have room. I will be sorry to go back to home cooking after eating here over the weekend.

I thought the food here was pretty good and I especially liked the village it was set in on a Summers evening.My warm potted shrimps starter was a bit experimental for me. No doubt traditional for the area these shrimps were tiny and there were not many of them, served with hot toasted bread.Main of chicken in pepper sauce was good enough, though the vegetables were completely soggy/overcooked to the point they gave the impression of being from a tin. Rest of it (including homemade chips and pepper sauce) was very good and the beer washing it down was (too!) nice.Service from staff was professional and the eating area was a pleasant place to be. Could not pick up any phone signal or wifi if that is your thing.

This is a lovely place. Great rooms, fantastic Breakfast. Centre of the village. it's a Pub, restaurant, hotel. All aspects are great.
