The Rose Inn in Ryedale

great outdoor space and very dog friendly

Nice beer garden but a tad bit pricey for what its worth.

Excellent pub, Spotlessly clean, happy to serve, friendly bar staff. Lovely beer garden where you can sit next to Pickering beck and watch the ducks swimming past. Good selection of drinks. Dog friendly (on a lead) water bowls always available and staff will happily fill them . Lovely when sunny outside ,with a covered area if it starts to rain. Would highly recommend any time of year. Edited..18/08/ 2024. All the above still applies, beer and service consistantly good. This weekend we were well and truly spoilt with an assortment of delicious home made pizza with or without an assortment of fries. We chose the margherita with dirty fries and the Hawaian with cheesy fries. All hot delicious and plentiful. Good prices too.

Nice pub in the centre of pickering

Love the place the south African lady behind the bar was amazing... smily friendly and bubbly beer is spot on... highly recommend if your local or just on a holiday

Very quiet on a Monday night so we were asked for last orders at 9 . Lovely bar maid who was very cheery and didn't mind that the 3 of us were only ones in! Has a beer garden which I'm sure is full on sunny days

Lovely pub. A band was on loved the music. Fast service at the bar. Decent prices

Bobbed in a couple of times whilst staying in pickering Nice people friendly staff Outdoor seating area

If i could give zero stars for service i would. Nice garden area awful mannered woman behind bar as said on previous comments. Pricey.

Do not do food. Nice pub pub. Music loud.

Doesn't do food, but great gin, beer and wine menus. Perfect after a day on the trains

Amazing pub, great friendly staff food reasonably priced, nice outdoor space

Best pub in Pickering. Great people. Great pints. The only issue is idiots who rock up for one night in Pickering with no idea on what they like to drink. Have zero manners or respect and think the world owes them something. We pay for a service. If you're rude I'd expect you to get told to swivel. You should be used to it by now

Visited on a sat evening with my husband. Beer nice but more expensive than all other pubs we had been to that evening. When we arrived there wasnt anyone behind the bar, we waited a few minutes & was about to leave when a lady came in to serve us, no service with a smile & not even a sorry for keeping you waiting. Plenty of people were inside so Found a seat at back wich was pleasent but only had the 1 & went back to bay horse

Landlady very nice and welcoming. Enjoyed our stay. Only here for a long weekend but we will be back in tomorrow. Cheers.

Lovely pub on the waters edge. Good atmosphere & a great selection of beers but very expensive.

Best pub in Pickering - landlady always keeps a proper still scrumpy in the cellar. Always very welcoming and friendly 😊

Nice pub . Cosy Friendly Just had a drink ,no food

Decent pub with good beer. Didn't eat here so don't know what food is like

Went in Friday night and had a very similar experience to Gerald Munro who posted about 2 months ago. I bought 3 pints of one of my favourite beers Ossett White Rat for myself and two colleagues. The beer was well off, it was apparent from just the smell, but I still tasted it and confirmed what I expected. I returned it to the bar to the landlady who said she’d check in the cellar. She confirmed that there was still half a barrel left so there wasn’t a problem. She refused to taste it herself.I said that it was still off and she was very reluctant to do anything but after arguing eventually agreed to change all three for the Osset Yorkshire Blonde. I had a sample first to confirm it was ok which it was. The first ‘new’ pint was then passed to one of my colleagues and she asked him if it was ok. He, having seen her pull fresh pints and me approving it first, said it was ok. She then announced that she had switched the fresh pint (under the counter) with one of the originals so there was obviously nothing wrong in the first place! Very sneaky. We then had more unpleasant exchanges and I even said I would pay for two of the originals as I know how tough it is for the trade at the moment. She let me do this even though they were not consumed. In retrospect I should have not offered to do this and she got a better deal than she deserved with her attitude. It looks like it’s pot luck if you get decent beer here. The whole experience was very unpleasant.

The woman who frequently serves behind the bar has never been friendly towards us, she is with her regulars. We have visited many times, this time I had my 6 month old puppy with me, he is very wary of strangers. There was one man sitting at the table, no one else in the pub. My pup started barking at this man, I was trying to quieten him down. The woman behind the bar said" If your dog doesn't stop barking you will have to leave" twice I said, he will stop barking, but she continued to say we would have to leave. So we decided to go. Her attitude was quite surly, as we were leaving she came from behind the bar & approached me, I said her attitude was disgusting, the way she told us we would have to leave, it could have been said in a friendlier way. She didn't give a chance for my pup to settle. Obviously we won't visit again which she said" good riddance" nice! I did not yell at you, your body language when you approached me could have been intimidating but I certainly wasn't. Plus you escorted me off the premises with a final statement " good riddance" As for tying my pup up outside was just a remark, would not have done it. And you did say we would have to leave!

2nd Pint of lager £5.15 first pint £4.14 asked why she replied, "must have been given staff discount." 😉 I must have looked too much like a tourist

Good outside area, cosy inside, good staff and prices... 🙂

No food been served but still advertised on internet. That’s why we went. Lager £5+ a pint. Never again.

This is a nice pub with a lovely outdoor area. We were really enjoying our drinks but sadly due to a very loud squealing child we could not stand the noise. We did move to another table as we wanted another drink but we could still hear it. Hopefully when we visit Pickering again the outdoor area will be quieter.

Oddly miserable bar staff…. ill tempered & sadly unwelcoming… such a shame as we’d scouted this pub out & made a special trip…. Disappointed as such a beautiful building & great location In reply to owner….we visited this afternoon. Check back on the camera? 😂 “You cannot see why they were ill tempered?” Due to the rain & it not being busy…..? Our whole party thought they were rude & disinterested & sharp… & they looked miserable, no smiles, just irritated we were even there - thank you for your apology / concern - oh wait there wasn’t one…. Can understand the behaviour of the staff now - good luck reviewing your footage & all the best ✌🏼

Nice looking pub. Never been before. Ordered a pint of IPA (and I'm no stranger to what an IPA should taste like). First mouthful and it was obviously on the turn. Rank acidy off taste. Unfortunately, the lady behind the bar wouldn't accept it was off stating there's half a barrel left. Suggested I just didn't like IPA assuming I didn't know what I like or what a good pint of beer should taste like. It doesn't matter how much is left in the barrel, it tasted rank and is well on it's way. I asked for something else or a refund but she was reluctant to do so. Friendly local tasted it saying it was 'sharp' but he doesn't normally drink ale so wouldn't commit. She didn't drink it either so wouldn't taste it from the tap herself. Finally I said I drink all over Derbyshire and the UK and I know my beer. Also happened to be a CAMRA member. That was it, que derogatory comments about CAMRA and intimation that I'm some sort of knob. Anyway, she gave me my money back. What an awful unfriendly exchange. Nice pub, customers seemed friendly but I don't recommend the pub if you like your beer or want to be treated as a welcome customer.

Do not serve food, over loud music unfriendly staff and beer garden is a scruffy affair overlooking a ditch!. If you're looking for real ale forget it.

Great place and handy for shopping being at the bottom of the main street. The beck runs along the beer garden.

Always clean, very good pints. Always a welcome atmosphere.

Following a recent visit to Pickering, we ventured to try the Rose Inn Pub. After having a couple of drinks I made a visit to the ladies room and noticed the floor was waterlogged and the door to the ladies room was wedged open. I advised management of the issue whose first response was of a hostile nature. Soon after we left, on leaving a member of staff carrying a mop walked behind me but in front of my husband and then proceeded to shout to a member of the management berating me in a sarcastic manner. Not what I expect from a business who’s market is hospitality. Your response, is just what I expected, it’s not in my nature to be rude and in fact I find it difficult to speak up but in this instance I thought I should if only to make you aware that if someone was to slip your issues might be greater…

Re-the post about the toilets. I'm afraid that I have to contradict the landlady. I entered and left the toilets with the lady concerned and we were both aghast at (a) the door to a ladies' toilet being left ajar and (b) that the floor was awash and dirty and could ultimately have caused a serious accident at which point the owners would have been financially accountable. At NO point was the lady aggressive or confrontational. On the contrary, she leant over the counter to discuss the matter with the landlady quietly and as unobtrusively as possible. Her account of the discussion was as she described. At NO point was any endeavour made by the landlady to thank her for bringing this to her attention, even though this may have been the umpteenth occasion on which the state of the toilets had been brought to her attention. I am sorry to say that I could not in good conscience recommend a visit to the Rose Inn. Such a pity for such a welcoming, and extremely busy tourist season in Pickering.

Tried popping in at 2046 on a bank holiday Monday and was told very loudly “nope we are closed!”

Lovely setting & good range of drinks.

Pleasant pub with large outdoor seating area that overlooks a local stream. Inside of the pub is nice and modern and the woman working behind the bar was very welcoming. Thoroughly enjoy the Coors on tap which will make me return in future. Pub seems to have a mix of locals and tourists stopping off which makes for a nice atmosphere. On our recent visit several locals sat on the table behind seemed quite drunk, however they were still very pleasant and not upsetting anyone. Unfortunately I can't comment on the food as we have only stopped off for drinks with the occasionally bag of crisps. Toilets were very well maintained and clean which is always a positive.

Went on a quiet Sunday night. Was fairly quiet but served beer so met the key criteria for a pub. Be interested to see what it is like on a Fri or Sat night.

Modern inside. Had two cask ales and one real cider.

Proper pub. Good range of well kept beers, wines and spirits.

Called in for a couple of drinks. (It used to be a fantastic watering hole with food, and Sunday lunches 🤤 We would visit as adolescents, the great flood.) The pub now is modernised with plain decor, stone flooring, the toilets remain on the entrance, there is a scooter alongside the bar is a talking point. The old pool table from the back bar is no longer there, replaced with more tables. I'm not certain what the kitchen area now is or if it is extra seating. The place is clean and was relatively busy. Since it is one of the only remaining bars open in Pickering. They had a good selection of drinks available. Will be back.

Good beer, very reasonably priced and nice atmosphere

Called in for a couple on way back to hotel. Had an excellent still cider on draught. Friendly atmosphere and staff. Will call again

Lovely friendly pub with good beer.

Clean and pleasant pub.Beer nice ,but do not serve food.

What a gem! We popped in here Tuesday and we’re met by friendly staff and locals. Plus they put on free food which was delicious! Nice selection of gins too A+

Nice pub with lovely outdoor seating by the stream/river.

Lovely place, friendly, nice garden area

Lovely beer garden, enjoying the sun

Great pub Great beer garden Dog freindly

Very friendly staff and a great pint, beer garden is great

Very good Sauvignon blanc wine here. Lovely setting by the beck in Pickering. Outside heating and lights. Dog friendly!

Great spot to enjoy a pint in the afternoons/evenings and get to meet local Pickering folks. Located along a fantastic little stream running through the town, there is lots of greenery and bird life. Shout out to Sharon for keeping this place a welcoming and clean space, it holds a special spot in my heart!

Really lovely little pub in the centre of Pickering. We could sit there all day just watching the world go by. No food available when we were there but you were welcome to grab a takeaway and eat it there. Think the chef was away.

Brilliant pub lovely staff and the ale is brilliant

A good place to go for an evening drink.

Found bar staff to be very friendly. Cleanest pub and especially super clean toilets. Will definitely be back.

Great pub , very friendly staff

Although call themselves pub kitchen no food. No music. No parking. No testers. But they do have an attitude. Pass by is my recommendation.

Great atmos we'll worth a visit.

Have only visited when it is quiet. Good beer garden for those that like to sit out. Have only had an odd drink here as we like our real ale. They usually try to have a light craft one on.

Found out first night here there was a group playing the following night, had to come back!! They were called Touch of the Blues (I think!) Our last night here on hols, they were brilliant, might even move to live here!!

Cracking pub, supports the community, live music.

Rude staff, clearly immature management hence the responses to some of these reviews In response: personal attack? Where? I made a general statement about how the staff made me feel. I hope you understand that these angry little responses you send out make you look even worse.

Really friendly amazing outside terrace by the river

Friendly staff relaxed atmosphere

Ridiculous £5.10 for pint Guinness nearly fell backwards.

Weren't made to feel very welcome!

Was surprised how friendly the member of staff was and the locals

Nice place for a pint and a chat with your favourite girl

The staff where very helpful had lots of beers to choose from was very clean & will be calling back again for a drink

Good drinking pub,warm fire good outside area, good drink selection..

Very small pub but staff very helpful & friendly...patio heaters not very warm as we had to sit outside ( in November ) due to pub being full inside

Good atmosphere very helpful and friendly

Great outdoor seating, both full sun and shade with shelter, stopped for a lunchtime drink. Staff friendly and efficient toilets really clean

Lovely friendly owners , but no food at present

One of the best beer gardens in town!

Absolutely amazing public house. Excellent service with friendly and welcoming staff. Amazing events and fun for all. Would definitely recommend. 5*****

Not impressed sat in beer garden with clientele bad language

Aye, nice pint of golden ale, looks a lot nicer pub than folks said it was, me, I'll make my own mind ip, handy for a swift un whilst your shopping ha ha, thanks x

Nice pint - Well appointed establishment

Friendly staff. Our visit coincided with a jazz festival in a neighbouring building so we sat in the beer garden by the stream and could chill out to some pleasant background music.

Kind accodomating people recommended a chippy for my grandson and said we were quite welcome to eat it there many thanks to them it was very clean

Lovely pub in which to enjoy a few beverages outside in the sunshine. The inside is also lovely. We really enjoyed it.

Extremely friendly staff always a welcoming experience. Great charity events to raise money for great causes. Anyone who says any different are in the definitely in the wrong place. Highly recommend to anyone as the best pub in England!

Nice pub with a sun trap courtyard, stopped by for a Shandy on a warm afternoon, service with a smile 😃

Friendly and efficient landlady providing outdoor service under Covid rules. We went twice. Locals seemed to like the place

Sunny day, cute little outdoor area. Staff busy as not enough of them due to covid etc etc, but friendly and hard working and kept the beer coming. We had a lovely few hours enjoying the sun 👍👍👍

Great service warm welcome good pint

Twice visited this pub now as on weekend breaks in Pickering. Efficient staff and great Covid procedures in place. Lovely back garden next to the stream - do visit if you can xhx

Great service and good choice of largers ( Red stripe) 😍

Lovely beer garden over looking the river.

Great food and staff also keeps a good bar would definitely go again

Had a great day, friendly and welcoming atmosphere and staff.

Cracking pub, barman made my girlfriend's day by ID'ing her ha ha

Not a bad pub but modernised a bit too much now lost a bit of its caricature.

Really lovely pub really observing social distancing 👍

Its good. All covered outside smoking area with heating... Thats the plus. No negative comments to make..

Excellent service, friendly atmosphere and welcoming pub. Sharon was a pleasure to talk to. Lovely place and made my evening a little bit more of a diamond. Very much recommend xx

Nice pub, good beer and good beer garden.

Great service and friendly atmosphere

Just had a quick visit here when spending some time in Pickering, lovely welcoming place and with a large outdoor seating area which had a marque erected over it to give wet weather protection as during this period of Covid-19 indoor seating was limited.
