The Queens Head in Ryedale

Visited as part of a group of 10. Food was very delicious but portions were huge. Feel like a bit of a warning would have been helpful! We could take leftovers away but had we known we would have ordered less meals. The staff and service was very good and we didn't have to wait very long considering we were a large party with a large order. The place looks smart and tidy and it was quite busy when we were in so appears to be enjoyed by many. Would happily return and would likely re order the duck chow mein as it was very good!

Unpleasant service, lacked atmosphere.

You must try this place excellent

Very busy place.Ok food if you're on a caravan site near there. Had king prawn fried rice very few prawns and not much else.Rice was white and I'm used to soy sauce being added. Travel a little further maybe to say Malton.

We are in holiday in the area and fancied a Chinese. We thought it’s Monday it won’t be busy, how wrong we were. Luckily we got there early at 5pm to get a table. There were 5 busy waitresses and the restaurant was full by the time we left and hour later. We could see lots of people collecting takeaway during our visit. The food was amazing, so good we went back the next day and it’s was yet again full. Would recommend this restaurant if you are in the area.

Didn't have a drink only had a chinese takeaway which was lovely

Directed to sit at a specific table then staff banged into me as they squeezed past - what sort of service is that? Crab soup too sweet it was inedible. Rest of food was fine, but lacked atmosphere.

First time ever very disappointed 😞

Could not get through on the phone to book and you should because it gets busy. The line was tied up with take away calls and I got the answerphone. It is a proper restaurant eat in experience with table service. We turned up early anyway and got one of the last free tables. Lots of groups seemed to be in, family dinners together. Service was prompt and efficient. The food was very good. We enjoyed the crispy duck pancakes and spring rolls. Also, the cantonese beef and chicken with ginger and shallots. Servings were of a reasonable size and we left full. Best Chinese we have had in the UK outside London.

Myself And my partner love going out to eat, on a visit to York we came across this place! GREAT FOOD, GREAT SERVICE, ATMOSPHERE WAS GREAT, THE BEST CHINESE FOOD IVE EVER HAD, REASONABLE PRICES, WILL BE GOING BACK

Great experience and great food my shellfish allergy wan handled with no fuss… Staff friendly and helpful, if I had to be negative about anything it was a bit too hot inside… Definitely going back!

Beautiful. All served hot and quickly. Thank you for having us xx

Been going here for twenty years.and it's far away from home but completely worth the journey take out is beautiful and book to eat in. Delivery not available. Gluten free options are delicious too

We have eaten takeaways all round the world. By a long way, this was the worst, all of it, and it wasn't cheap, absolutely disgusting.

Dealt with my restricted diet with no drama. Pleasant and attentive staff, clean and comfortable surroundings, wonderful chairs. Food was delicious, in generous portions and served soon after order.

We went here for dinner tonight after being recommended by our host In local cottage we stayed at. Would recommend food, drinks, service and atmosphere. The only thing I would say is the noise levels which was very loud, but understandable due to the amount of people on there. Would ask for a table near bar not in main restaurant next time. Car park always looks busy so it’s no wonder due to food and service. Very hot foot, delivered with a smile. Would 100% recommend

Unfortunate terrible experience. Early Christmas Eve booking. Ordered starter and main course. Shared starter arrived in reasonable time and was delicious. Waited over 30 minutes after starter cleared, asked waiting staff where was main course? was ,told by staff chef had just started ours and would be 2 minutes. Chicken fried rice arrived, rice was congealed and had no colour from frying unable to eat. On paying bill explained problems of timing and chicken fried rice to manager he said that the late timing was due to a very large take away order they had received,no apology that was it. Problem with chicken fried rice was ours, that was how they prepared it. Asked for full bill to be paid I refused and the cost of rice was eventually deducted much to the annoyance of the manager. Whilst all this was taking place very quietly at the till area a very young waitress was smirking at us from the side of the till area which had to be addressed by my wife. I'm afraid will not be visiting again mainly due to the zero respect for customers and the take it or leave it attitude of the management.

Lovely, cosmopolitan family restaurant. Good food, friendly staff. Always enough good food even to take home later ! Definitely worth a visit.

I have literally just collected the worst Chinese I have ever had. The rice and noodles were starchy and clumpt together. The noodles were swimming in the chow mien dispir the fact I asked for crispy noodles and the curry sauce was flavourless. I called ro tell them this they said that's how they do it. So tuff basically. I am only glad this was not the meal I was getting on Xmas that I booked for 8 on Xmas eve and it was only my anniversary meal that got ruined. I have now canceled yhat booking and would strongly advise anyone to reconsider before going ther.

Fantastic place for friends, families, lovers. Authentic Cantonese cuisine, great selection of drinks (menu pictured). Great price too!

Had a really lovely meal here , 13 of us and everything was spot on .. meal gorgeous, staff were very good and had a great night …. 5 stars anytime

My husband and I have very fond memories from many years ago when we lived quite close by and although we are a bit further afield now, decided to make the trip for a takeaway for my birthday. We were very disappointed. Chicken in black bean sauce had so much chilli in it that the flavour was lost, not a lot of chicken and very tough. The chips were rock hard to the point of inedible. The boiled rice was plentiful but sticky and pretty bland. Prawn crackers and prawn toast were just ok. Sadly, we will not be making the special trip for a takeaway again and we’re gutted that a much anticipated birthday treat was so bad 😕

Amazing!!!! Amazing food! Amazing staff! No complaints!

Lovely restaurant. Very busy but not left waiting for food

It was ok. I've had better from the New Inn at Huby.

Takeaway ................REALLY DELICIOUS and wonderful ,highly recommended. Would definitely return ,just wish it was a lot closer to us.

Luke warm welcome, similar service by majority of staff. Food mediocre, felt like take away food at dine in prices. Very long wait between courses.

It is relatively close to us with good reviews so we decided to try it. The rooms are very nice and the outside for having a drink is a nice area but the wooden furniture is in need of some maintenance. The attention of the waitresses was very good as was their service, giving us time to choose and advising on the dishes. We ordered the set Premium menu for two priced at £24/person The opening course of mixed spring roll,sesame toast ,chicken satay etc was ok. The next was Crispy Beef which was twiglets of batter in a very sweet sticky covering. I didn’t find any crispy beef. Then duck with plum sauce. The duck was very dry and tough and another very sweet plum sauce.This was followed by a sizzling chicken dish which was rated as I chilli heat but my wife found it too hot. The accompanying dish of noodles and bean spouts I counted three bean spouts the rest was a gloopy mess of rice noodle. All in all it was a disappointment. They seem to pride themselves on the quantity rather than quality.of their food.

I've been meaning to come here for the three years we've spent time holidaying in the area. We had a special banquet for two (with yung chow fried rice as an extra), and the food was flawless in execution. It consisted of a mixed platter with ribs, seaweed, prawn toast, and a large duck spring roll, then came the main courses of duck in plum sauce, crispy beef in BBQ sauce (wonderfully crisp), chicken in black bean sauce on a cast iron griddle lab, noodles with beansprouts, and last but not least the yung chow fried rice. We rapidly found ourselves struggling to eat it all, and brought home three (!) full plastic tubs. Highly recommended !

Very tasty food we got for takeaway, however littlw disappointing not to be given prawn crackers with such a large order

First time I used this takeaway and will not go back, I ordered a takeaway on the phone for 3 people, they told me it was a 40 minute wait which was fine by me, at least they told me, they were very busy and took me a while to get through, when I arrived to pick up my food, there was only 1 girl serving at the bar and was very busy, this girl was really good and polite and a credit to the restaurant, I took my food home and it was awful, the hot and sour soup was just like sweet and sour sauce with a bit of chilli and a small amount of veg in ( I did order vegetarian soup) I had two mouth fulls and left it, my main meal was vegetarian Szechuan sauce with vegetables, the sauce was the same as the hot and sour soup sauce and not good, I had half of this also and left the rest, the chips were good though, I don’t think I will return

First time visiting and definitely won't be the last ,the food was outstanding . well presented and plenty of it The waitress were helpful ,polite and friendly

Good food, and so much that they will offer to box up what you can't manage. Excellent staff, and a lot of them so no probs getting more drinks, getting your bill quickly, etc. Good car park.

Best Chinese in the area by far.

Excellent. Visited 09/08/23. They were really busy but service was excellent, super efficient and friendly. Food was just absolutely gorgeous and reasonably priced. Can't wait to go back.

Went here for a lovely dinner with our family whilst staying locally. Quick service, good menu choice and portion sizing, friendly staff

We visit quite regular, best Chinese around. Food is piping hot, always feel welcome an Aimee is a credit to the restaurant.

Not my best experience. Expensive. Food good though. Service not organised

Ordered to pickup at 19:00 got my food at 19:30. Great service

Brilliant service, new paper menus (since Lockdown) need Some explanation which we got. Quality of food is great, portion size crazily big x

Called in on the off chance after a visit to Flamingo Land (5 miles away) I must say, we weren't disappointed with the food or the price. Each dish was delicious and well presented - sorry, we were hungry so we forgot to take pictures. I only wish this place wasn't 71 miles from home. We will definitely be visiting next time we are in the area !!

We had an excellent meal from here whilst holidaying in the area and the service was quick and efficient. The portion sizes were more than adequate, meaning we had enough to take away for the next evening. It can be busy here for dinner service so if you are looking to sit in booking in advance recommended.

Great place and food.good gluten free selection as well.

Большой выбор, и спасибо работникам кухни!

A brilliant place for a great Chinese meal. Good and varied choice of food. Friendly and helpful young staff.

Excellent food excellent service, recommend ordering at least 30mins in advance. For eating in book at least 4days in advance.

Great food, including some sauces I hadn't met before. Set menu A fed us for two days (yes, they do takeaway boxes)

Superb very tasty food, great service, Great staff, You may have to wait in the que for the take away as this place is so popular, you will not be disappointed we are touring round the area and this will be our go to eatery.

Great food and service was excellent. Decor and atmosphere just a bit bland but otherwise highly recommend

Exceptional quality and great service

Delightful staff, friendly and helpful. Wide selection of delicious Cantonese Chinese Food to choose from. Freshly prepared, cooked and served. One of the nicest Chinese Restaurants in the area.

Busy restaurant Lovely authentic tasty food. Great menu choices and new menu which is easy to use. Not like some menus which are page after page ! Friendly attentive staff.

Amazing as always. Food is fantastic, the staff were brilliant and waiting time was perfect. Never had a bad meal from here.

Big portions, so need to exercise control. Although they will happily box up your leftovers. Nice staff and good service.

Lovely place, great staff, food and atmosphere. Would l recommend YES Would l return... YES

Had a fantastic meal here tonight. Food was served swiftly and very hot Quality meal and absolutely delicious Service was also excellent Would highly recommend!

Lovely restaurant absolutely delightful staff family will be back 😀

Great food friendly welcoming ataff

Lovely place food excellent service first class. It is the place to eat.

Thus is a really good Chinese / Cantonese restaurant. I visited here with my mother in law. The portions are really large, so we both ended up taking enough home for another meal the following day. The food and service are both excellent. We visited on a Thursday, and yet the place was full, so always book a table.

lovely service from aimee and all the staff, all food was delicious except the veg spring rolls. Great veg chow mein especially!

Always a good meal with a group of friends.

The main courses are just to die for. Fantastic as always. Lovely staff 👌 The banana split I had for pudding was the worst thing ever had in my life 😫 I did make my findings known and was given a refund. Looking forward to going again. Think I'll give the banana split a swerve. 👌

This is quite simply the very best Chinese restaurant not just in North Yorkshire, but in England. I’ve been fortunate to live close by to this restaurant for 20+ years and have never had a better Chinese anywhere.

Nice place but food wasn't what we was told staff was nice

Good Chinese restaurant, with very good and friendly service. Recommended 🙂

Great place to meet up with family and friends. Food is great staff are fantastic. Lovely night out. Well worth the trip.

Had the special mixed platter last night and unfortunately the duck spring rolls had mushrooms in it. Husband allergic to them so wasn't a pleasant evening or night! Didn't expect that mushrooms would be in it. Should be stated as duck.and mushroom rolls.

Had a takeaway with friends as we were stopping at Castle Howard on the campsite. We had been a few times before and hadnt been disappointed so we were confident to recommend to friends - they too were also pleased with the tasty food. See you again when we are back in the area.

All the food is very nice and the staff are friendly too, it's nice for either a sit down meal or just a nice drink with friends

Very underwhelmed...waited a long time to visit and was sadly disappointed with the quality of the food. Wouldn't revisit.

Very impressive staff and service

Excellent food and equally excellent staff!

Takeaways from here used to be really good tho quite expensive, thought we would give it a go again ! Big mistake ! Duck tasted like it had been cooked for days and the salt and pepper chips were probably done at the same as...

Had a fantastic vegan banquet for 2. Lovely food, well cooked and loads of choice

Mixed feelings. Fitted us in on Friday night at short notice. Staff were ok. Fairly busy. Very noisy. Very family friendly, really felt a bit like a cross between a cafe/cafeteria and one of the pubs with the kids play areas. Starter very good (duck), main courses somewhere between poor and mediocre a bit tasteless to be honest, one was the hottest on the menu (their rating for the numtung) and was basically a bland satay. Salt and pepper chips good, rice terrible, congealed in to a lump, would be bad as a takeaway but no excuse in an eat in situation. Price on the higher side of average but not expensive. We both shared each others food, we do both have a slightly queasy tummy an hour or so later. Eaten at far worse places, but would never bother to return.

All ways good food and plenty of it

I'm so disappointed with this place I booked a table a month ago and turned up tonight and they have double booked! They then pretended I haven't booked, I definitely had as I saw my details on there booking list they were not accommodating in the slightest just basic said ow well bye bye ! I would honestly give 0 stars if I could ! Don't think you have a table if you have booked one as this is clearly not the case !

As usual fantastic. Thanks to all the team.

Enjoyed a fabulous meal at the Queens Head. Staff were helpful and friendly. Would go again.

Great meals, chicken fried rice, tofu veg vermicelli and chicken schezwan were all very tasty and the starters were fab too.

Great service. Staff were friendly and helpful. Very clean premisis. Good range on menu. Food well cooked and presented.

After moving into the area and at least 10 people saying how fantastic it was here we decided to go. Booked a table, need not have bothered as we were the only ones in!!! that was a red flag especially for a weekend evening. The...

Called in here last night for a meal ,what a find we absolutely loved it shared starter for 2 then my wife had chicken in Cantonese sauce with egg fried rice and vermicelli ,i had mange tout and king prawns in garlic gorgeous, do call in of you get a chance and last but not least a beautiful restaurant coupled with a great service many thanks for the effort put in by all EXCELLENT

Really good choice on both menus . Booked a table to eat in . Food arrived quickly and very warm .Plenty of it Friendly and very helpful. Would use again in the future

Probably one of the best Chinese meals I have ever had, delicious

A really nice place , very popular with both takeaway and dine in - a little off the beaten track but clearly popular across the area. Food is great , we shared a number of the sweeter dishes , all cooked well. Fried rice was not as expected, less fried more boiled which was a bit stodgy, but overall we were very satisfied with the meal and attentive service by a team of waiters.

We collected a take away from here after having eaten in the main restaurant previously. It was cold, tasted awful and it seems like it had been pre cooked earlier in the day as it was ready in 10 minutes - we had made quite...

Wonderful Chinese restaurant. The food is exquisite and the atmosphere great in this old pub converted to a Chinese about 20 years ago. It truly is a great find, about 5 miles from the great metropolis of Malton (!) the alleged food capital of Yorkshire....

Just called in on the off chance of getting a table.No problem,s at all.Food 10/10 fantastic.Staff polite and friendly.The best Chinese I've had in a long time.

OMG! Their food is out of this world! Looking forward to our next take away... Staff very friendly. Lovely decor. The restaurant looks amazing. Not had the opportunity to enjoy that as yet

Always quality, a very good Cantonese

Fantastic food and service, plenty of choice. Would definitely go again.

Handed £45 over for order!!! Then was asked for £2 for prawn crackers!!! NumTung quoted as 'Will leave those brave enough with a numb tongue' have had hotter pot noodles. You know the 1!!! All as I can say is, people who rate it can't have a decent Chinese near them!!!

We were so disappointed with the food we collected tonight from a restaurant that people rave about I opted for the salt and pepper chilli beef as a main course Photos will show there was no beef in my dish not only that it tastes...

Always have a good meal when we eat here. Staff always friendly and make you feel welcome.

Lovely place food very good parking plenty covid screens in place so felt safe .

Very nice food and lovely staff

Gone down hill since someone else runs it make sure u check price if placing takeaways or even sitting in for meal and it isn’t that nice either

Very good food, it's very filling though, I ended up taking half of my food home to have the next day but it was solid food
