The Queen Catherine in Hambleton

We were a group of 8 who had pre booked. We were all very impressed with the service and the food served. Between us we had fish and chips, steak and ale pie, vegetarian sausage and mash and lasagne. All meals were wonderful, generous portions and very tasty. Puddings were equally scrumptious. There is a limited selection of cak ales but the Doombar ale was delicious. All in all a great meal

Restaurant review only! Upon looking at the pub/hotel it certainly looked the part, looking at the menu and see a lot of old school classic pub grub meals and after our long walk around the abbey, worked up a bit of an appetite. Food took 40/50 minutes to arrive and other patrons were getting served before us even though they arrived AFTER, but that could have been down to the order so that’s by the by. First of all In this economy I’d never ever say this about anyone but you need to SACK THAT CHEF, to put food out of this quality AT THAT PRICE, is nothing but laughable. Me and my partner burst out in fits of laughter on the way home at the sheer poor quality of this food, I couldn’t even be bothered to complain because the element you did rectify WAS STILL TERRIBLE. Cheeseburger and chips, simple right? - Burger patty, tough as old boots, tasted okay. - Brioche bun, felt and tasted microwaved with a chewing gum texture. - Fries, like little shards of glass cutting the roof of your mouth with every bite. Vegetarian Lasagna and chips. - Lasagna was so overcooked it was like it had armour, any moisture no longer existed, poor gone, I’d have ate my cremated nan and would have been more moist. - Fries, exactly the same as the above. (We sent this dish back and we were advised they had no lasagna left so she got a replacement burger, bearing in mind the chef has now been made aware of the over cooked issue, the replacement food was ALSO overcooked) so we gave up. Side orders. Onion rings, Burnt, crispy af outside, raw in the middle. Garlic bread, Burnt. Genuinely, I will provide photos too. One of the most laughable meals I have ever had, poor bartender woman doesn’t deserve to be the face of this. 0/10.

Shame I didn't read any of the reviews before we went there, but it all makes sense now. We went out for a dinner with friends, food was ok but I had better. The next morning I realised we were overcharged (I had 3 glasses of wine and I was charged for 2 glasses and a bottle!). My fault for not checking the bill when paying. I went the next day to say I was overcharged but there was nothing they could do as I should have said something on the night. I dealt with a dark haired lady, possibly a manager, some serious customer service training is desperately needed and smile wouldn't go a miss either. I was actually shocked with the level of customer service and the way we were spoke to, not sure how you can survive running the hotel in this manner, but all the best.

Very disappointed with the Sunday lunch. It was a luke warm offering of heated frozen vegetables and awful gravy. The couple next to us returned theirs to be re heated. Total waste of money!

Thought we would call in for a drink after a lovely walk around cod beck. If anyone was thinking of doing the same then think again!! Such a horrible place I can’t believe it’s still going,although I doubt it will be for much longer. It was a Sunday afternoon and the wifi code was try out Sunday dinner but the place was empty! When we arrived we asked for our drinks and was served by one of the barmaids. The Guinness wasn’t pouring right after standing there for a while my husband changed his choice to another beer-this also ran out. The barmaid asked the landlord if she should change the barrel to which he just said ‘no’. My husband eventually got a half froth half Guinness pint to which they could not care less. I got a wine in a horrible glass. The music was faulty and so would blast out so loud ever now n then. When we left we handed our glasses back to the bar and said bye-the landlord did not say thank you or bye! The rudest landlord I have ever come across! AVOID!!!

When arrived at the pub we was greated by a cat sat on the counter where drinks where made. The bar maid abruptly said “we have no food, can only have drinks”. So we ordered some drinks but then we was told they had ran out of coke. Then the bar man said the cheif can make us some cold sandwiches with chips however we over heard the bar maid tell another family that they had only a selected menu which consisted of; fish and chips, scampi, bangers and mash and burgers. For a village pub this was not very equipped and we were very disappointed. This was all at 5.30pm on a Tuesday evening so wasn’t late!

i came to this pub with my boyfriend for dinner and after waiting half an hour, was served a lasagne i couldn’t eat. it had clearly been microwaved and didn’t taste or smell nice at all. i complained to the manager and asked for a refund on the lasagne to the blunt response of “no.” poor customer service. won’t be returning.

Had nor been for a few years due to terrible service. Though we would try again. No atmosphere, staff seem disinterested. Osmotherley used to be a great place to visit but I wouldn't bother these days.

Awful meal ‘fresh’ from the freezer. Parmo was not a Parmo which had a strange texture and taste. Lasagna very basic. Salmon ok but mash from the freezer- really? Lovely for drink but food is awful.

I was staying at the Youth Hostel up the road and wandered down to the village for some tea. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the food was delicious. As it was a sunny eveing I sat outside on the lovely tables at the front of the pub. I opted for the local delicacy of Chicken Parmo with chips washed down with a couple of pints of Aspalls cider. It was a good sized meal and very tasty just what I needed the night before a big walk.

1 star , the food took about half an hour to arrive and when it did i got the wrong meal. After we sent it back ,they used the same bun which still had onions on( which i do not like ) and after all this, the food was not that nice . The chips were alright .

DO NOT GO….. please read though the other comments as well as mine, the staff are so rude, we ordered a bottle of champagne but as the barmaid opened it she spilt a quarter of it on the floor, we refused the bottle and said we would happily pay for one that’s full, at a cost of £70 you would expect a full bottle, as we were leaving a little man with a big mouth chirped up and forcefully refused letting us leave until we paid for the champagne which had a quarter of it on the deck, after been threatened some more we managed to walk away whilst been shouted at by this little man with a big mouth, do not go here this place does not deserve to be trading, all in all it was there loss and little man with big mouth got absolutely no reaction whatsoever from us, hopefully he will be back in his box by now

Booked for three of us to do the LWW , for end of June 2024. Unfortunately had to cancel due to severe illness with one of the group. I tried contacting the pub on eight occasions, speaking with a member of staff on two of those, and explained the situation we were in. They stated they would get someone to call me back but never did. I even sent a message but still no reply. Eventually after 4 days of trying to contact them I spoke with a member of staff who said it was their policy not to refund deposits, and that we could go anytime within a year of booking, this was booked in November of last year and our party will not be able to stay until April of next year. There was no apology , recompense, or compromise by their staff, so £120 down the drain.At the other establishments for the following several nights accommodation they all reached a compromise or refunded the deposits. Customer service here is abysmal, with a couldn’t care less attitude. Extremely disappointed to say the least. I would certainly not recommend this place if you think you will be looked after. If I could give a minus score then I would.

Arrived In Osmothersley looking forward to my stay, I booked and paid 50% non refundable deposit over 12 months ago, also phoned a few weeks ago to book a table for dinner. On arrival there was a large notice board saying it was closed for refurbishment! No sign of any works being done and a small note stuck to the door saying “book in at The Three Tuns. It appeared we now had rooms in a different place, the room was not that clean and our toilet was dirty, shower tray grubby. And the room had an odd smell. We ate there as we had no other option and it wasn’t good, added to that it cost £5 more that the menu on the website. No apology from anyone. So disappointed that people feel that they can treat you so badly and be so disrespectful. Weird that they still show up on all the booking websites. Avoid if you do not want to be treated like me.

Disappointed with the service. Waited too long for food, which was not what I expected reading reviews. Would have been good for some explanation about what was happening, but I had to ask,after 40 minutes wait.

Went here for a few drinks with my wife on Sunday 5th. Was decently busy with good atmosphere , food looked great although we didn’t have any , the service was great particularly a bar staff member, we got into conversation as I got my wife another glass of wine and a coors for myself, I think I heard another member of staff call him chris . He was very friendly and seemed to be doing a lot when I told him he’s moving twice as fast as everyone else he told me he doesn’t usually work front of house! He certainly should! Whilst it was busy he didn’t stop for breath. Taking orders cleaning, and pulling drinks all with a smile on his face . Was great to see a young lad enjoying his job. Great atmosphere, energy, and drinks , will be back with the wife

Excellent place superb food would recommend the Sunday lunch. Been several times now and never disappointed

Ordered drinks and I was given a menu to order food which I took back to the table. After five minutes went back to the bar to order food to find out the kitchen was now closed to new orders. So we were left having to finish drinks without food. Then people were coming onto adjoining tables after us and were getting food delivered. Went back to bar and asked if I could order a take away and was told yes so that is what we did. Was told it would be a long wait maybe an hour. Food came after about half an hour. We had ordered fish and chips and having been to this pub previously it is normally excellent. This time it was a disappointment. The fish was dry and it came with French fries , not traditional chips. This visit was not the best advert for the pub with staff somewhat indifferent to the situation.

I was overcharged by £40 and after contacting them on numerous occasions and promised a return call they have refused any refund due to a lack of the receipt for what I ordered. They have not even discussed it with the waitress who served us as the place was nearly empty and she would have the list and our table on the till. They have now blocked my landline and mobile so cannot contact them, no e mail address found. Definitely will not go back. Make sure you check your bill and gat a printed receipt of what you ordered

Stopped here for a Sunday lunch after a days biking, girls behind the bar took our order very polite, we ordered two roast pork dinners… so disappointed all the veg was from a frozen packet mixed sweetcorn, peas and cauliflower, the potatoes were also the frozen ones that are so dry and flakey inside them, the Yorkshire pudding was also a frozen out of a packet one… the pork was so dry and the gravy was like dirty water so watery. All in all was such a disappointment. It’s not hard to make a few roast potatoes and Yorkshire puds come on guys frozen isn’t the way forward. It was dreadful. This place used to be all home cooked foods and was always so busy. Get a proper cook employed.

Friday night meal out. Ordered two burgers from a friendly lady behind the bar. Food arrived fairly quickly. We were disappointed with the quality and quantity for the price. Nothing special and burgers were still red in the middle. Pricy for the quality.

Group of 9 pre-ordered, as requested. The only menu available was o website as the organisers of the group had not been sent a printed menu. The prices had gone up 50%. e.g.Cod and Chips £10.95 on website, £15.99 on the menu. The manager was abrupt, rude and unhelpful and did not offer any apology. We won't be going back.

We visited the Queen Catherine for lunch during May half term. The good is average for a pub meal but the level of service was poor. We ordered the corned beef pie, vegetarian lasagne and two pizzas from the children's menu. We were informed that the pizzas had sold out. It was 1pm and the pub was not that busy. We order scampi and sausages as replacement meals. I returned to our table and almost instantly the bar maid came out to our table to inform us there was no vegetarian lasange left. My wife ordered a vegetarian burger instead. We then waited an hour for our food to arrive. Although others were eating, the pub was far from busy so this wait was very confusing. Eventually, most of the food arrived. However, a single sausage was placed in front of one of my children. I went in to speak to the bar maid to see if the rest of the meal was coming. The chef was coming out of the kitchen as I spoke to her. He stated he had only cooked a single sausage as he thought it was for a dog. I asked if the full meal would arrive and he went back into the kitchen. The full meal then came out five minutes later. This rapid turn around made the hour wait even more baffling! As stated, the food was average for a pub. There are certainly better bar meals within driving distance. Afterwards, my wife spoke to the chef who explained he cooks one order at a time. With this approach, how they manage a full pub would be interesting to witness. In fairness, the chef did offer a refund but we declined this as the food was average and we did eat it but the level of service is truly awful.

Stayed 4 nights locally over New Year - recovering from Christmas and covid/walking trip - visited twice, good beer and good pub food. It's not a gastro pub by any stretch of the imagination, but good hearty food and muddy boots and dogs are welcome - possibly a little expensive hence 4 rather than 5, but I would go again unlike the chip shop next door that is to be avoided!

On June 1st I booked a one night stay for 24th August at the 3 Tuns in Osmotherley. Though the website specified clearly in its terms and conditions that no money would be taken unless a cancellation was received very close to the booked date. In fact the full sum of £115 was taken immediately and was referenced as paid to the Queen Catherine. No receipt or acknowledgement was ever sent. I cancelled my visit on July 1st - 7 weeks before we were due to stay. I have tried contacting both the 3 Tuns and the Queen Catherine both by telephone and website based "Contact us" facility and neither have been successful. The phone for both rang a couple of times then cut off and no response was was forthcoming from either website contact. Last week I visited the Queen Catherine to see the manager but they were unavailable. I left my contact details but unsurprisingly no response was forthcoming. It is very hard to see how any positive judgement can be made on these linked pubs given the repeated failure to respond.

We have been here a couple of times over the last year. On first time here, we have been dlr a walk and had some drinks and our daughter had chips. It was ok. Second time we went 4 of us ate - again average/expensive for what it is. We visited this week and it was £60 for 3 soft Drinks and glass of wine. Plus 3 adults meals and a child’s meal. The sausage and mash was hard, microwaved hot! A splash of gravy and a few garden peas. The gosh and chips were better - triple cooked chips and a decent portion of beer batter fish. Very green mushy peas! The wine was a standard house white - ok.

Was recommended to try the Golden Lion but it was closed so crossed the road to the Queen Catherine. Girl behind bar was pleasant and took our order for meals. Service was slow and meals were put on table before any cutlery. Steak and ale pie was edible but unexceptional. Cod was very dry and served without expected peas which were delivered after request, boiling hot from the microwave. Lasagne was dry and seemed short of the pasta and béchamel one would normally expect - most left uneaten. The chips had a curiously black/brown appearance. Prices were at the upper end for traditional pub fare so all in all, the consensus was that The Queen Catherine is best avoided.

We had an evening meal and breakfast at the Queen Catherine. I had the lasagna and chips which was a generous portion and tasty. Followed by chocolate cake. Service at dinner and again at breakfast was friendly, prompt and welcoming. Only point I would make with breakfast is it would have been nice to have been offered another cup of tea.

Went for Saturday dinner and Sunday lunch. Lovely staff and food was fantastic. Wasn’t keen on the dogs being on the seats but not near eating which was good. Overall very pleasant and lovely

Beautiful location, welcoming staff but food poor, long waiting times, such a shame excellent otherwise

Lovely pub in the main square on our tour of the North Yorkshire moors.Enjoyed good coffee and muffins served by friendly staff.

Located right in the main square this pub had a good selection of good. Our steak and ale pies were very generously proportioned so sadly we had no room fir the sticky toffee pudding.

Only stopped here the one night while walking the Cleveland Way,but the people were friendly and the corned beef pie with veg was wonderful

My wife and I were staying nearby at the Vane Bee and Breakfast only to be told on our arrival that he was not doing breakfast! The following morning were asked at the Queen Catherine Hotel if they could help us out. Andy and Alice not have been more helpful and rustled up a love breakfast and superb coffee. Thank you both so much!

My wife and I stopped here to have a light bite: two hot sandwiches, a side of chips and a pot of tea. Due to Covid we had to eat outside. Service was immediate. Holly, our waitress, took our order and turned the table heaters on. In short order she returned with a huge pot of tea and a treat for Miley, our Jack Russell X. The tea was amazing : hot, strong and as an avid tea drinker the best I've tasted in a long, long while.The sandwiches and a huge serving of hot chunky chips arrived shortly afterwards.The brown bread sandwiches were delicious and crammed full with hot bacon and sausage - extremely satisfying.Thank you Holly - we will be back !

Have been a few times now always fantastic service Very welcoming and dog friendly great food good larger Fab location can’t wait till we can go inside again

This place is great such a gem in a beautiful village. We popped in for a drink and ended up having lunch and we were not disappointed beautiful food, staff friendly and even with restrictions meaning we are having to sit outside it was lovely and pleasant with heaters. We enjoyed it soo much we returned the next day again for food.

As a vocal critic of lockdown I will support any business that finds a way to work through the bulldung regulations. All totally legal and so very welcome. Loads of outdoor space, patio heaters, full menu and just a return of ( as near to) normal as possible. Love the steak pie and Parmos a keep up the good work Steve Ash Andy and team

The worst experience me and my family have ever had. 1 hour 30 mins and I had to leave before my family as I couldn't endure the shocking service shocking food any longer. A limited menu which had run out of corned beef pie , no fish and chips , no parmo!!! My partner complained about the sausage as my children couldn't cut it as it was as hard as a rock , the waitress informed him that's how we do it here. Please take my advise and give this place a miss. Hate to leave this review in the current climate but I can honestly say I have never left anywhere as upset as I was leaving this place

Excellent food. Excellent staff. We asked for an early breakfast which was not a problem. Highly recommended a visit.

Been to this place several times now and each time the same story. Made to wait an extortionate amount of time just for the order to be taken and then to be told we would have to wait another 30 minuets for it to arrive which by the way was over an hour on one of the occasions. In addition, they’re is always several items on the menu that is unavailable. Overall I would really not recommend this place and suggest you make the trip to some where else.

Both cafes are closed in Osmotherley due to Covid, so we went to the Queen Catherine hoping for a breakfast. Did not disappoint with a lovely sausage bap (3 sausages), and great tea and white Americanos to drink.

On a wet and dreary day driving south on the A19 we dropped in on spec hoping for an OK lunch and were pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. The sign outside warns that "dogs are welcome and humans tolerated" and certainly the waitress was much more interested in chatting to a dog owner who came in than serving the other customers, but I can't say we weren't warned :-)

Lockdown seemed even longer without a visit to the local - was great to have you back open and visit for old favourites like steak and ale pie - plenty of room inside so easy to space out table to socially distance - got busy in "eat out to help out" but always safely spaced - and the outside area was really welcome - lets hope can stay open through the winter

The steak and ale pie was lovely, but the vegetables were barely cooked and very hard, which is okay if you like crunchy carrots and cauliflower! Okay but nothing special.

Called in for a pint of real ale after a long hot walk today. None available as awaiting delivery (of three different beers ?) so had to settle for lager and a bottle of Timmy Taylors. Smelly hand sanitiser. Outside tables not wiped clean and old food deposits evident. Not a happy bunny. Should have gone over the road to the Golden Lion.

Osmotherley is a lovely village to visit for a day's walking and having a drink or meal after. But trust me don't bother stopping at the Queen. Rude staff, bad language and no class in this place. Didn't eat because we other people complaining about the food. We would have gone to the Golden but this was full so we went next door to the chip shop. Definitely made the right decision.

Did not stay in the hotel - ate at the pub.Stopped in with the family while trail hiking along the Moors. Ordered lunch and drinks at the bar and sat outside to enjoy the weather - however - they also have amble indoor seating which seemed clean and eclectic (in a good way).Lunch was served promptly and the service was excellent. Enjoyed the food so much we stayed for a second round of beer. Would go back and recommend highly.

Another year another meal and fabulous as always, the staff are super friendly and welcoming, I would definitely recommend this for all families and even with young children, lots of space and not to forget a good selection of wines.

We arrived as a family of four during the last wednesday of the governments “ eat out to help out “ scheme. The place was really busy, which was a good sign and I expected good things.We ordered potato wedges for starters and what came out was a bowl of frozen oven cooked McCain wedges. I couldn’t believe it ! I had the “ three cheese parmo “ for main, what came out was a tiny chicken scallops worn a tiny bit of cheese on. It was not a parmo ! Two other family members got salmon with a side of SMASH ( fake mash ) and another a burger ( which he describe what he imagined hell tasted like ). All served with frozen oven cooked chips by the way !The drinks where disgusting, pulled draught drinks but warm in the glasses? What’s going on?!Overall it’s a lovely little pub in a lovely village, but the foods digusting, the drinks are digusting. The staff are uninterested . Avoid ! Go to the golden lion over the road trust me.

Good quality, British pub cuisine in nicely decorated premises. Staff were friendly and the service prompt.Some car parking out front, with more opposite and along the street.Great location for a bite to eat before or after a pleasant walk around the Cod Beck Reservoir.

I am not one to write poor reviews generally but feel compelled to come out of hibernation to write this one.We were a group of five people on holiday in this beautiful part of the world and had booked our first meal out together at this restaurant. Four of us had ordered garlic prawns with pita bread as starters. The prawns were cooked but there was no evidence of any garlic or even sauce. They were at best cooked from frozen. These were served with cold Dorito salsa sauce. No sign of pita bread either just plain buttered brown bread. The best bit was the side salad garnish! To be fair we would have said something but we were all so hungry and they were so busy that we just got on with it and laughed at the poor interpretation of what sounded like a nice starter. It gets better, the main courses were at best uninspiring. Three of us had the chicken with parmesan cheese. The size of chicken although huge and totally coated with cheese (which was great) had no taste! It was obvious that the chicken had been frozen and had dried out and Parmesan cheese which should be bursting in flavour was not! The chips were soggy so I just left them uneaten as did my dinner companions. Once again the side salad garnish was the highlight. Another of our party had cod and chips which she described as ‘uninspiring’ and of course the soggy chips made their return on her plate too. With the ‘eat out to help out’ deal going on we were surprised to have paid over £80 for this meal and drinks but we were not given any breakdown in the costs. We left without leaving any tip which we normally would have done. There is a choice of a few places to eat in Osmotherley but this should not be on your list.

Fabulously dog friendly pub. Beautiful interior and food. Staff are so helpful and friendly and went above and beyond and prompted me for the eat out to help out offer. A delightful find, one which is a must !!🥰🥂🥂

Hearing lots of reports that people are being charged full price for meals when they should be discounted by 50%.....beware.

From the drive into the quaint authentically beautiful village we knew we would love it. We had our two dogs a labrador and French mastiff in tow. We were warmly welcomed even though we only booked a hour earlier. The bar/restaurant is cosy, clean and welcoming, the food homely and generous portions, plenty for dogs to share. Red wine the merlot very nice and reasonably priced made my day .. We were given the top floor flat which was spotless, with a kitchen, TV sitting area and 4 beds to choose from.. The dogs were comfortable and settled, watched a couple of Bond films on our stay with a glass of wine certainly home from home. We went on two walks which were so picturesque and relaxing with streams, mini waterfalls, wildlife and breathtaking scenery. Back to Andy and all the staff who were lovely the dogs got spoilt with beef and sausages and everyone was so friendly. We usually go elsewhere but we stayed put..lovely church yard and church adjoining with beautiful chimes. The village locals drank in the bar notably the gamekeeper and Sam local chef and the barman Marty we will be back. Breakfast ordered the night before and cooked to your specification just perfect Thank you all for a lovely stay we feel recharged and relaxed..see you soon

Stopped at a favourite pub of ours after walking the dog around cod back etc. Social distancing etc in place and working really well. Menu looked unaffected but only wanted a sandwich and a pint. Couldn't fault it!

We were in the area visiting Mount Grace Priory, so afterwards drove into busy Osmotherley to find somewhere to eat lunch. We lucked out with the Queen Catherine Pub, as we got great seats on picnic tables outside in the sun by the busy road to people watch whilst maintaining social distancing! The menu was varied but most dishes seemed quite pricey for lunch time portions. However, there was a fish shop section that was just perfect for us. The food was tasty and the portions were perfect sizes for lunch - and a bargain at only £3.50 each for battered sausages, chips and a slice of white bread. Drinks were average priced, small cokes for £1.50 each.Well managed by staff during the slow recovering following Covid pandemic. Directional arrows on floor to show which way to move and onto toilets, luckily it was quiet when we visited as if the pub was full it would be hard to move around and still maintain social distancing. The toilets were clean, but the corridor to/from them was narrow and only small area near sinks to wait. Staff were helpful and friendly, we would return.Afterwards we walked up the road for a leisurely stroll around Cod Beck, which was so scenic. We advise to visit Osmotherley as early in the morning as possible! and to avoid peak tourist days if possible, as can be very very busy - even when we visited on a friday outside of school holidays.

Called in after walking the Osmotherley circular. Feeling a little hungry I had a prawn sandwich with chips and coffee. Both very tasty and good value. Would recommend

Staff very friendly and welcoming. Great parmos and large portions, home made parmo and chips very tasty. Open daily, other restaurants in the area closed during the day some days midweek.

The waitress told us that it would be a wait as we were just behind a large group. We almost left, but thought we'd wait similar in another pub. It was very fair of her, and to her credit, we got served faster than she had predicted. We had simple lunches: jacket potato which was good, and hubby had fish and chips which comes from next door (was good!). Nice to see that they have spent a fair amount of money in new refurbishment for outside seating, and inside was new too.

We stopped for a roast dinner as a very large group. They did us two roasts, loads of veg, roasties and the biggest Yorkshire puds ever! The food was hot and very tasty. The staff were very accommodating for such a large group and added a few nice touches to our visit. Would highly recommend and look forward to visiting again

We visited the Queen Catherine on Saturday and it was fantastic. We were a party of 42 so had pre-booked. The staff were amazing and gave us half the pub to ourselves. We’d ordered a roast dinner for the whole party which was served buffet style. The food was absolutely delicious, tasty and hot which is no small task for such a large amount of people. The Yorkshire puddings are to die for. The staff were brilliant and couldn’t do enough for us. The pub is lovely inside, warm and welcoming. Can’t wait to visit again next year.

They've got some music on, trying to stoke up an atmosphere, but the place is dead on New year's eve and you can see why. Nothing like it used to be. Won't bother again

After walking back from Cod Beck Reservoir, we enjoyed the latte and spaghetti bolognese there with thumbs up. Easy to park in front of it. I will be back.

I had a very nice experience in the queen Catherine hotel. Staff was very helpful. I had dinner there and the food was very good. The room was very clean. I was with my bike, they allowed me to park it inside their premises and I was given nice tips for the rest of my trip. I don’t hesitate to recommend this place.

Return visit to this lovely pub. Food was once again fantastic! Steak and ale pie (not technically a pie 😉 ) was beautiful with lots of tender steak in it. I'm told the parmo was gorgeous too!!

excellent food, all freshly cooked. great host good beer. must try homemade cornbeef pie. lovely friendly people.

Fantastic food and service lovely people definitely worth a visit even for just the food .we just dropped in and booked a room .rooms are very nice clean and nicely decorated.

Food is lovely hot and fresh staff very friendly clean well looked after pub made to feel welcome would recommend a visit

Felt very welcomed the staff are wonderful....The food is fabulous The salmon fillet is exceptionally tasty

This pub obviously does not want customers! We used to go regularly and enjoyed friendly staff good food and live music BUT the pub changed hands and things have changed! We booked a room for Saturday 6th June so that we could enjoy a band (a duo) and drinks with friends - we have been informed today by our friends that the band had been cancelled! I rang The Queen Catherine to check and was told yes the band had been cancelled! I asked why and was told “because

As a “villager” and business owner I like to support all village businesses including the Queen Catherine. Osmotherley attracts many visitors year round but especially over the Summer months and at weekends.

Visited on a Sunday with 5 adults and 7 children. Ordered drinks and ice cream for the kids and everything was great. Very welcoming considering how many of us there was and a very friendly atmosphere. We will definitely be back after our next walk, thank you!

Dined here this weekend and the food was of exceptional quality, friendly and efficient service and very good value too

Best bit = the beer. The choice of food is limited and just very basic pub grub, but really nothing stood out. Bearing in mind how many local pubs serve food of a MUCH higher quality than here we were very disappointed. Wouldn’t recommend it, apart from for a drink on a hot day outside in this beautiful village !

Stayed in the village for a week. Had a drink on the second night and not impressed. Glasses were dirty and wine was warm. Gave it another chance a few days later and still the same. Shame as a lovely location .

Visiting Osmotherly for a few days, we had finished a walk at 6pm. We had read the reviews beforehand and found some very critical, but our experience was great, the real ale was in top class condition, so we took a chance and ordered the fish and chip style meal, the chips were cooked to perfection and tasted better than any I have had for some years, also the fish was fresh and perfectly cooked in superb batter, and included was nice mushy peas and fresh white bread; yum yum. If you are nearby give it a go and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Excellent range of real ales - can't beat a pint of Black Sheep! Didn't have it, but the fish and chips looked good.

We visited The Queen Catherine on good Friday ( 19/4/19) it was so busy we have never seen it so busy before. We had drinks and food outside. very chilled atmosphere and the staff are so friendly and welcoming. We were very pleased to see this place all done up and given a freshen up. We were very pleased with our home made steak and ale pies. Cannot wait to return.

We visited here for a quick drink fairly late on a saturday night having just completed a very long day of walking. Despite the kitchen being closed for the night they offered us two enormous bowls of freshly cooked chunky chips. Couldn't have asked for anything more!!! A spash of vinegar and copious amount of ketchup we worked our way through the mountain of chips and were so very grateful. Customer service and satisfaction at its best. Would definately return.

Great meal at reasonable prices. Recommend you give it a try. Good selection of beers and spirits too.

A friendly, relaxed and unpretentious place to have a rest and some very good food. We had fish, chips, mushy peas followed by apple crumble. The chips were really perfect, fat and tasty, and lots of them! The fish was fresh and cooked to perfection and even my partner who doesn't normally like mushy peas ate these. As for the apple crumble ( and custard ) it was so good I went back the next day for another and my partner had the sticky toffee pudding and cream. The crumble was sizzling hot, plentiful, packed with fruit and incredibly tasty.

Called in this pub after a long walk. Our party of 4 +2 dogs were warmly received by the friendly staff. The men plumed for pints of Wainwright’s which were in fine fettle while the ladies opted for a lager the name of which escapes me but which they enjoyed. We had already made arrangements to eat so did not sample the food offering but it did look delicious. Standards at this pub are first class and I would highly recommend to anyone walking around Osmotherly to call in and sample the fare, we certainly will call again.

Camped down the road, visited for tea,

Visited this pub after driving from York looking for a lovely country pub to have a celebratory meal for our wedding anniversary. Stumbled across this pub by accident but was an excellent find. The food and hospitality was top class. Would definitely recommend and return on our next visit to the area.

We went to The Queen Catherine after a walk around Cod Beck. The staff were friendly and welcoming, the bar has a good selection of drinks. We ordered a couple of meals, Corned Beef Pie and Chicken Parmesan, both we’re fresh and delicious and it was clean plates all round. Will definitely come back again.
