The Rose Inn in Ryedale

Was on holiday in Pickering, I went in for a drink with my son in law. We got 2 pints of Theakston's best bitter and went to a table, when the drinks had settled, I tasted mine it did not taste like Theakston's best bitter and the colour of the beer was too dark. I asked my son in law to taste his and he agreed. I took it back to the bar and told the lady behind the bar it was not what it said on the pump clip, I received a serious tongue wagging from the lady, saying other people were drinking it and had not companied. I was not complaining that the beer was off simply that it was not as described, (for the record I have been drinking Theakston's bitter for over 50 years mostly in the pubs around Masham, so I have a very good idea what it looks and tastes like). Needless to say we drunk up and left and went to another pub in Pickering, which does know about beer.

Nice pub but very abrupt barmaid ! needs a bit more friendliness the drinks reasonably priced. and had a nice outdoor area

Lovely clean pub, nice atmosphere, staff welcoming and friendly. Well behaved dogs allowed (on lead) dog bowls available on request if not seen. Always nice and warm inside, covered ouside area next to a newly cleared Pickering beck. Hand pulled beers, ciders, wines. Guinness, many different Gins and soft drinks. Reasonable prices, would reccommend. Books are available to read at the pub. along with many games for children and adults alike to play. Seating with beckside views available inside and out.

Popped in for a drink, clean, nice pub with lovely outdoor area. They were taking down the Christmas tree so felt a bit early / unwelcoming. Would visit again some time.

What a gem of pub…. Great atmosphere… Great night with local band friendly staff one of the cheapest places to drink Great selection of lagers 👍👍👍👍

Found this pub on Friday night and visited again Saturday evening as they had a live band on. Brilliant atmosphere and enjoyed chatting with the friendly landlady We thoroughly enjoyed our visits and found the drinks to be fairly priced bearing in mind you are in a holiday 'town' We will visit again when back in the area. Loved your 3 pugs too 🐶🐾

Great atmosphere, music and service. We were in Pickering for 3 days spent time in the rose on two of the days. A real community pub. Great location.

What a fabulous little gem of a pub, fantastic staff, lovely locals, great beer … lovely beer garden

Fabulous bar and live music was on on a Sunday night, great beer great atmosphere definitely be back , lovely and clean

Cold and unpleasant bar maid. Hand written sign on the bar saying that you can’t pay with Scottish Notes….how insulting as we are visiting from Scotland….imagine visiting Edinburgh and being told you can’t pay with English Notes…both are legal tender in the UK. We have visited many places in Yorkshire for a number of years and have never encountered this before. Very disappointing attitude.

Fabulous staff,great atmosphere, great beer,cheapest in Pickering can’t understand the negative reviews

I have visited The Rose Inn on many occasions. It has been fully re furbished quite recently, is very clean, tidy and overlooks Pickering beck which is amazingly full of wildlife. The staff ,(I find) are very friendly and welcoming to all, locals and visitors alike. It has a large beer garden , some 8 large tables outside and many more under the covered area and also even more at the top end. The landlady runs a 'tight ship'. Well behaved dogs on leads allowed. All under 18's to be out by 9pm, no music to be played in the beer garden from 'gadgets' etc. Live bands, Kareoke, all advertised inside. The best beer and beer garden in Pickering, especially in the sunshine. Would highly recommend to all. No food is served on the premesis but you are allowed to bring and eat your own providing a drink is bought from the bar.

Situated on the banks of the river, the Rose Inn is a lovely place to have a quiet evening drink. It's dog friendly so no need to leave the pooch in your lodgings. Olde worlde interior and covered area at the back overlooking the river. No food served unfortunately. Bar staff seemed preoccupied but pleasant enough

went in a couple of weeks ago pint of hand pulled ale half of lager (at non local price}went and sat outside went to have a drink of my ale was nearly sick with the smell had a small sip , ugh could not be bothered to take it back having read reports of mine host. went back in a couple of weeks later to give them a second chance different type of cask ale half of lager (again at non local price)ale way out of condition once again put it down and walked out never to return again walking by most days noticing the beer garden getting less and less full every time i wonder why?

Visited pub several times but never found it overly welcoming. However on this occasion we found the Landlord to be rude and aggressive in his manor in the way he spoke to us. On a previous visit he swore and shouted at a customer in the beer garden because his puppy barked. The Ladies toilets are a disgrace. Consequently we won’t be going back to this pub.

Other correspondents are correct. Avoid this place unless you are local on ‘the staff privilages tab’. Check what the verbal charge is against that tapped into the card machine and keep a receipt. I was asked if I was local and when I said ‘yes when I am in town’ the manager was sent for.

extortionate prices, one price for locals, tourists get charged more. Amstell larger £5.00 per pint Nice pub just very, very, expensive. tried to read price list for drinks, it's hidden away around the corner of the bar, can't get to have a look.

After reading some reviews I was abit sceptical but what can I say, lovely staff , great beer garden, and reasonably priced drinks.. everyone was friendly, there was even music on which made a great day/evening highly recommended

Lovely clean pub with helpful friendly staff. We really enjoyed sitting in the beer garden in the sunshine watching the ducks in the beck. There are open or covered areas outside. The glasses were sparkling and even when busy, the tables were wiped down. Good...

I'm not sure we have ever encountered a person as rude in hospitality. We walked in, having been recommended by a local restaurant, with a 16 year old. The way we were spoken to was beyond rude. A simple explanation on their policy would have...

Visited recently mid afternoon. Dreadful warm rose wine and out of condition beer served well short of a full measure. Staff was arrogant and ignorant and in need of a great deal of basic training. A total liability to any business in the service /...

Lady working in the there was miserable and rude. Very unwelcoming. We stopped off here and sat in the garden with our family. We didn’t stay very long at all as we were made to feel bad about having children with us. Not a very...
