The Royal Oak Inn in Ryedale

Visited on a Monday evening for dinner. The staff were absolutely fantastic and welcoming. The steak pie was excellent and there was plenty of it. Sadly though we were put into a separate, dark and soulless room because we had our dog with us - this spoiled the whole evening. No other pubs we visited in the area made us go into a ‘dog’ room - disappointed!

I stayed over night whilst walking in the area with my dog. The room was OK and the serving staff were pleasant enough, but the food was not that great.

This was our second stay and compared with the first was disappointing. The location of the pub is lovely and the rooms comfortable in a traditional style. There is minimal road noise in the mornings, only agricultural traffic. When we visited previously there was an issue with flies in the bar and restaurant, our only negative. This time they were far worse. You were left swatting them away from food and checking drinks before drinking. Speaking with staff they admitted the flies were a constant problem. On this basis alone we would not visit again. It is a shame the owners do not address the problem but they seem not to be operationally involved and not live locally. Our other issue was the menu. It was very varied during our last visit. It is now still varied but most meals are meat heavy with unimaginative vegetables, very simple fare.

My absolute favourite place . The staff , food and location are lovely. Looking forward to going back very soon ! Thanks Margaret , Lauren and everyone else !!

Lovely, friendly out of the way pub in a quiet village. Had an absolutely delicious meal here sitting outside on a balmy summer evening. The pork medallions and lamb shank were cooked to perfection!

Comfortable rooms, great food, huge starters, lovely main meals. Good service, nice wine. Good breakfast. Although kippers fillets only, not grilled. But otherwise everything perfect. Small resident car park at rear

Amazing Sunday lunch. Very varied choices. Starters looked like full servings. Lamb shank fell off the bone. Beautifully cooked and good portions of high quality produce. Not sure the cherry tomato. was required. Delicious sweet. Friendly staff. Nice and clean country pub.

We ate here on a Saturday evening. Great ambiance, lovely staff and the food was delicious- cooked to perfection. We will definitely return when we're next in the area. Thank you.

Mothers day seats were armchairs and too low. Needed cushions still uncomfortable. Table to high for the seating position. Had to ask for vegetables to accompany the meal. The food was average at best. Very disappointed and will not be going back. Overrated and overpriced.

Stayed for just the one night but treated like royalty. Room was spotless and spacious, food was piping hot and first class. Pheseant breast stuffed with haggis is an absolute must !!!

Three day stay. Excellent room, staff very friendly and efficient, food was exceptional. Would not hesitate to recommend The Royal Oak as a base for touring North Yorkshire

Dropped in for Impromptu lunch after long walk with two dogs 5 mins before lunch stopped serving on a Saturday. Very welcoming and nothing too much trouble. Food clearly homemade and delicious soup and pie with local ales at reasonable prices. Will definitely come back again. Recommended

We cane in for evening meal as staying close by at fimbles cottage [the quirky tiny house]. The service was amazing the lad that served us was brilliant he was obviously busy but was great we couldn't book prior and he apologised and booked us right in.He was brilliant all night he was absolutely great so professional and helpful he really made the difference to the evening.The young girl that served the food was great aswell just didn't have as much to do with her. We would definitely recommend and come back again when in the area.

One of the nicest pubs we have ever stayed in. Louis is a credit to the Royal Oak. He is the nicest, most friendly and caring bar person and nothing is too much trouble. He’s made our stay that extra bit special. Food is delicious. Thank you Louis

Stayed overnight and ate in the restaurant. Loved it. Delicious food, excellent service. Comfy bed, plenty of hot water. My only gripe is that the walls are thin. We might as well have been in the same room as the people next door, inc hearing them in the bathroom. Did ask if we could move but the only room had a small double and that didn't work for us, so we decided to stick with it. And the people next door must have realised they could hear us so we could hear them and piped down. Highly recommend. Make sure to book if you want dinner, it was busy!

First visit and will definitely visit again Amazing hospitality A huge thankyou to Margaret Neil and Team So comfortable friendly amazing food Nothing was too much A visit is worthwhile and will go back in the near future thanks again Allison & Tony P

The food was second to none,the bedroom was nice and clean,the staff were so helpful and accommodating. Definitely will be back to stay here again. Would recommend it to anyone.

Superb food and excellent service Best meal out we’ve had out in years Was even given the recipe for the salad dressing Well impressed

We were on holiday just a few minutes away from the Royal Oak . We took a stroll along the road for a Sunday lunch time drink arriving maybe one or two minutes after two . They stop serving lunch at two . At the bar I said I realise you have stopped serving lunch but is there any chance of a round of sandwiches . We don’t do sandwiches on a Sunday was the reply only bags of crisps. Not exactly welcoming hospitality! They weren’t exactly busy with a number of staff on hand . We saw one table being served with their main course some twenty minutes after two . So all in all they missed out on a sale of at two Sunday lunches plus drinks or a couple of rounds of sandwiches at around £9 a round all because they couldn’t be bothered to put in a little extra effort. No wonder pubs are going out of business

A nice atmosphere in the main room of the pub/restaurant, tasty food and above all very friendly staff who make you feel welcome. We had dinner twice in three days.

A very warm welcome, excellent food, a good menu choice, served by friendly and helpful staff. A beautiful location. Definitely returning.

We spent two nights here it was very comfortable with good food and friendly staff. Particularly liked the breakfast.

Popped in with my dog for lunch and everything very good. Nice beer garden at the front. Fabulous walks nearby. Recommended.

Very disappointed. Mains over priced and didn't come with potatoes or veg, they were extra. The raspberry roulade was very strange. Will not be eating there again.

We normally visit this pub frequently when holidaying in the area. This time things seemed very different with the food. I ordered pork medallions, I was asked if I wanted any side orders so I asked what it came with and was told nothing. So...

A great find. We received the warmest of welcomes from a gent behind the bar (the best for many years). We initially sat in the snug but were invited into the main bar as space became available. The service was excellent. The food arrived promptly...

Absolutely gorgeous Sunday lunch, Yorkshire pudding as big as my head, beautiful gravy and excellent veggies, the pudding was plum and almond with custard, bloody gorgeous. Great service and all washed down with a glass of aspell cider, dog friendly too

Family of 4 visited over the New Year. Travelled over 60 miles to have lunch at this place. We ordered 4 different mains, 2 of them were lovely and 2 not so much. The menu (sheet of A4) didn’t explain what comes with each meal,...

I real gem of a place - fantastic cosy and clean accommodation. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful and food was superb. I will be back

Dropped in yesterday after our walk. I was really looking forward to a nice shandy and took a big gulp. It was awful. Don't know whether it was the lager, the lemonade or the fact the glass hadn't been rinsed properly. It left a horrible...

Enjoyed a tasty evening meal in a dog friendly room, set away from the main bar area. This was fine when we arrived as it was busy but the atmosphere obviously reduced when we became the only table still occupied. Beer was good, particularly the...

The third time this year we have stayed here, this time we stayed in the dog-friendly room as we had or 2 dogs with us. The room was lovely and the food and hospitality was as good as always .

Second time in 2 years on holiday we've visited here. Located in a delighful village we were able to sit outside after our meal and enjoy the village and watch the world go by. I had the salmon in a fresh herb and tomato sauce...

A rambling old inn with several rooms and lots of fascinating items. The food was first class. We both had Pork Fillet Medallions with a blue cheese and white wine sauce, one of our best meals in recent months. A shared chocolate torte proved a...

Had a meal on our first night. Food was fantastic as was the service. Had to sit in separate room due to having a dog.

Biking around the moors we found the Royal Oak at Gillamoor the staff were great and secured our bikes. Really good pint of beer and food was top notch. I have stayed here before and the place continues to be excellent, will go back again.

Lovely old pub but rooms very spacious and clean, very welcoming and safe parking for motorbikes, The food is second to none and must be some of the best "pub grub" around. Highly recommended

We were staying in the village and ate in the Royal Oak on a few occasions. There was a warm welcome, lovely staff and amazing food. It was the highlight of our stay to be able to dine here, there is a great ambience and...

Spent two nights at the Royal Oak this week which was our fourth stay. Comfortable room, excellent food and friendly staff in this lovely traditional country inn.

Not very impressed with this pub. It advertises as being dog friendly but the room where we had to sit, was cold, draughty and with no ambience. The open fire wasn’t lit on a particularly snowy and icy cold day. No attempt had been made...

We were staying near the village for a few days and ate here twice during our 4 days. On both occasions we were made to feel welcome by the staff. We have 2 dogs so were seated in the room at the front, on both...

So disappointing … this used to be a guaranteed winner for a warm a accommodating welcome and lovely food. Tonight I called ahead to check I’d be able to eat as I decided to walk cross country early evening 2.5 miles. I was advised I...

The most wonderful Sunday Lunch we have ever had, roast beef Yorkshire pudding first class vegetables and great service.

Staff excellent with allergies and very accurate accommodating, staff very attentive without being intrusive. We had Brie to start followed by huge fish and chips and salmon. No room for dessert. Would highly recommend.

Visited the Royal Oak twice this weekend and both times the staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful. They were also quite prepared to offer vegetables in stead of chips and mushy peas when asked. The food was plentiful and well cooked.

Great pub with an excellent restaurant and nice bustly atmosphere. Good outside seating area, which is ideal for a pre-dinner drink or two.

Had another excellent stay at the Royal Oak. Had a 3 night break 6th to 9th July 21. The have excellent covid procedures in place which work very well. The rooms are good and the food excellent. There's a good choice of evening meals and...

Fabulous pub! Margaret runs a tight ship with fantastic adherence to COVID-19 rules without it spoiling your stay. Lovely clean room, comfortable bed, great system for topping up water, coffee etc. Food is amazing, very well organised pre-ordering system for breakfast, definitely more than you...

Visited the Royal Oak for lunch today with some friends, very good value for money at £15.95 for 2 courses. The crayfish cocktail was delicious, the meat was so tender in the steak pie it melted in your mouth, chicken breast in a white wine...

We were looking for a ovely country pub to stay at,not too far from home and we found it at The Royal Oak at Gillamoor. The staff couldn't have been more attentive and friendly and the room was delightful with a lovely view over the fields and roof tops.It had everything we need and was lovely and cosy aswell as being spotlessly clean.We also had an evening meal which was gorgeous and the breakfast was also exceptional.Gillamoor is a quiet village but the scenery is spectacular with lovely walks to go on nearby.I would highly recommend a stay here or even just go for a meal.make sure you book ahead though as it's clearly very popular!

We wanted to eat here on our first night staying in Gillamoor. In advance of the trip we emailed the pub to try and book a table. We got no response. We then phoned up the week before we arrived and were told that they do not take reservations. When we arrived we visited the pub and were told that they were fully booked?? We were stuck in the village with nowhere else to eat. Staff were rude and unaccommodating, despite the fact that the pub was quiet when we visited. We tried to even just get a drink but were told that even that isn’t possible without a ‘booking’. Maybe they just don’t welcome tourists and you have to know the right person to get a booking!

We have just returned from a fantastic weekend with friends staying at the Royal Oak and can’t recommend it enough. The rooms whilst relatively simple are comfortable and clean. The staff are all incredibly friendly and can’t do enough to make you comfortable. The best part of our stay has to be the food. We tried everything from the grouse and duck to the lamb and the incredibly rich steak and ale pie. The breakfasts were quite literally fit for a king and leave you full until dinner. The Royal Oak really does deliver in the midst of the present epidemic and does it without detracting from delivering an excellent experience.

I visited this place a couple of weeks ago which I came across just by chance. Had a drink outside but thought that the pub looked really inviting, so booked a Sunday lunch for six today. We certainly weren’t disappointed, the food was really excellent quality and the staff were very professional and pleasant. All in all a very good experience and we are planning another visit but this time B&B at the pub as well.

Had a 3 night stay from 11th August 20.Managed the Covid situation very well. Food and accommodation very nice and the breakfast is superb. Staff very nice, friendly and efficient. Parking available and a good outside seating area if the weather permits. 2nd visit and will come again.

Booked a table ahead of time for a Tuesday as I knew that Eating Out scheme is popular. Reservation by email handled efficiently and our table was waiting for us. Staff very evident and helpful in quickly taking and delivering orders. COVID restrictions being taken very seriously with rigorous table cleaning routines, table spacing ample and all staff wearing masks. My husband enjoyed his steak pie although it was just a pastry top rather than a full pie. Pork tenderloin well cooked and tasty with cheese sauce. Tempting range of puddings too!Overall a traditional pub serving popular traditional favourites!

I am loathed to leave bad reviews of places during these hard times but we left disappointed. Knowing this was the only pub near where we were staying and the menu also looked stunning we rang and booked the night before, we asked for 6.30 but were asked to arrive at 6pm. No problem, or so we thought...We arrived a couple of minutes late and were shown to our table with the "early bird menu". I love a bargain so couldn't believe my luck but my heart sank when I saw the menu. All of the fine food they offered online was not in the deal. It was instead, generally, cheap food sold at cheap prices (scampi and chips etc.).No problem, we will just order from the main menu and have the food we wanted. Right? No! We were told as our table was at 6pm we could only order from the cheap (inferior) menu and you needed a table at 6.30 for that. OK, can we wait 15 minutes to order then? NO! We needed to order now, from that menu as they needed the tables.So we ordered and it was every bit as disappointing as I expected; probably worse. Scampi and chips without a hint of anything green. No spoon of peas or salad garnish. Bland, fried food served with little love or joy.What made this so perplexing is that we were not asking for the main menu at cheaper prices. They had a steak for £24 that I would have gladly ordered but instead I had to suffer two course (that is unfair, the black pudding starter was lovely) at half the cost. I wanted to spend more money!So, if you're booking a table make sure you do not get stuck in the deal menu trap. You'll be disappointed.

Just wanted to leave a review here because we visited recently and wanted vegan/vegetarian food, and they were really helpful. They had vegan options for cooked breakfast, and the main evening meal was also really nice. Staff were really friendly and helpful despite having to cope with all the weirdness caused by the corona virus. Well done!

First Sunday lunch after lockdown, an absolute dream, it’s probably as good a Sunday lunch As I’ve had. Staff brilliant in these trying times. Thumbs up to you all we’ll deffo be back. Ps Jam dolly polly 👍🤪

Visited for a 3 night stay from 17th March 20.The pub is situated in a very nice quite village which is very close to the Yorkshire moors and surrounding villages.10 mins to Kirbymoorside and Hutton le Hole and 25mins to Whitby and close to Pickering.The pub is very nice with a nice bar area with open fire and a dining area. The staff are very friendly and efficient and the locals friendly.We had a large room called Tripsdale which was roomy had a very large bed and good size ensuite bathroom with bath and shower and good quality toiletries.The room has plenty of storage space and good size TV and well stocked with tea / coffee etc. The breakfast substantial and very good food.We also had two evening meals which were also very good with a reasonable choice to cover most tastes.All in all a very good stay, would recommend and will come again.Hope the Covid 19 virus doesn't set you back too much.

We visited the Royal Oak Inn last Sunday for a family lunch. We knew there was a separate room just inside the entrance that was perfect for the 10 of us. We wanted Sunday lunch and were not disappointed, good choice of starters, beef, pork, lamb or chicken for mains. Great Yorkshire puds and roast spuds. Thought the veg was a bit sparse, only 2 plates between 6 adults and 4 kids. (We saw an elderly couple on their own in the bar earlier get a whole plate of veg between 2 that they barely touched!). One small portion of braised red cabbage that was quickly eaten, we asked for more but it had run out. Wonderful puds!. Children were well looked after. Delicious Black Sheep beer!!! All in all very enjoyable. Reasonable value for money. Will happily return.

We booked to stay here for 3nts and loved the place so much we stayed an extra nt.Louise and all the staff were so helpful and friendly the entire time. The pub is a traditional yorkshire pub cosy, casual and friendly and with an exceptional menu. Everything we ate there was top class both in ingredients, cooking and presentation. All credit to the chef.Everything in our room was perfect huge comfortable bed,good walk in shower and toiletries. We must return soon if only to try the rest of the menu. In a beautiful area with the coast and the moors on your doorstep.

this was our fourth time at the royal oak. booked in for 3 nights over the new year period. as always everyone really friendly and welcoming. new years eve was one of the best ever, the meal was absolutely fabulous very well organised with a fantastic atmosphere. massive thanks to all the staff who worked so hard in making it what it was. we can see why people return year after year for new years eve. will be back soon dave and april

We spent most nights here including new years eve which was fabulous. We had the best set meal ever here before we saw the new year in with lots of lovely people .Everything about it was amazing , the food was top class , the staff & regulars all lovely friendly people, just exactly as we remembered it from our first visit last june. Cosy country pub with open fire , great food & drinks & amazing staff . We will be returning again & we would highly recommend,what's not to like .Thankyou all for making New Year & our time with you all so special . S & M ILLINGWORTH .

We booked a weekend some time due to its proximity to both York, the coast and other attractions. It is well situated. We had evening meal which was of good quality and excellent value. Our room was very attractive with a fairly comfortable, very large bed. The ensuite bathroom was extremely spacious and was equipped with toiletries. The only downside was that the radiator in or bedroom couldn't be turned off as the valve was faulty - it made our room unbearably hot, so we had to open the window to cool things down.The restaurant is good and in some ways this detracts from it's charm in that there is really no where to sit if you are not eating as the tables are populated with diners. So on the Saturday night we had to sit in our room as there was no comfortable seats for drinkers. Not a complaint but more of a disappointment.If you do visit, do walk towards the charming little church and proceed to the left and soak in one of the best views in Yorkshire.All in all we enjoyed our stay, it was comfortable, if not a tad hot, with the food being excellent with a lovely breakfast.

Unsure where to start really! We stopped in a holiday cottage about a three minute walk from The Royal Oak (what’s not to like already?!) so we decided to have Sunday lunch there as a treat (we don’t often have a Sunday lunch but prefer to cook our own roast dinners just to be on the safe side, if you follow me - better the devil you know!) Well, what can I say? This was a truly beautiful meal, although enormous portions so please ensure you’re very hungry or wear your baggy clothes so you have room to expand!! My husband and I both chose a good old fashioned prawn cocktail to start with - it was massive, so many prawns, and very very tasty indeed. After having devoured that (leaving a couple of lettuce leaves - that was just pushing it a tad too far knowing what was coming next!) My husband chose the roast beef with all the trimmings whilst I opted for the turkey and stuffing (well it was only a couple of weeks until Christmas after all). Completely and utterly stuffed! We couldn’t manage all of the veg, there was stacks of meat and lashings of gravy (all washed down with a ginger beer - oh sorry I was slipping into Famous Five mode there, haha!) Anyway to cut a long story short, it was absolutely fabulous and if you’re in the area definitely make a point of visiting, it’s well worthwhile if you enjoy quality food at a very reasonable price! A truly hidden gem

We booked a table for two for 6:30 on a freezing night, and once seated we opted to go with the mains and a desert option for £15.95.I chose the lamb, which arrived very quickly; it came with mash and a separate jug of mint gravy and a dish of vegetables- new potatoes, carrots, leeks, and a little odd perhaps, lightly pickled red cabbage. The veg dish was for sharing between my meal and my partner's.The food was absolutely gorgeous-the lamb was beautifully cooked, and the veg very nicely done too; there was plenty of everything between the two of us. The mint gravy was lovely and my partner spoke very highly of her meal too.The salted caramel waffle with peanut butter ice cream was heavenly, as apparently was the roulade!All in all it was a lovely meal at fair prices; we would definitely go back again.

Booked a Saturday night as we were in the area.Staff were helpful and welcoming, room was clean, tidy and warm as it was very cold out.We were out for the evening but came back to a friendly atmosphere and after a good nights sleep, an excellent breakfast.Would happily stay again.

Whilst staying in the area we went to this pub for dinner & it was a great find.Character pub with a welcoming atmosphere & friendly staff, it has a set menu available both at lunch & dinner with excellent local produce.We thoroughly enjoyed the crayfish starter & grouse main course, but the daleside lamb & pheasant dishes looked equally appealing. Great value & well worth a visit.

We are staying in the area and called in here today for lunch. We were made to feel very welcome and we both selected the lunchtime 2 course special. My starter (pâté) was very generous and would normally have been a main course for me at home. My husband had the soup, which was also enjoyable. We then both had the pork tenderloin in a blue stilton and white wine cream sauce, which was fantastic (thank you to the chef). The staff were very attentive and helpful, and we definitely recommend it.

This is an excellent inn - friendly, welcoming, with good food at fair prices, and of course good beer.

Called here the other evening for dinner the food was excellent we had a two course meal At £15.95 very good value for such a quality meal very good local meat ,game and fish well prepared,good beers and wine ,and all in a very cozy pub atmosphere,staff very friendly too ,we will definately be calling again.

This lunch exceeded expectations. We had not eaten here for years, but decided we wanted a change from our usual lunch time haunts and were glad we did.

Staying in a cottage close by, The Royal Oak Inn was described by our hosts as welcoming and friendly with good food and well kept ale.....and,importantly, as dog friendly.

Lovely, friendly pub serving a great array of tasty food. Obviously popular with locals and visitors alike, so booking in advance may save disappointment.

We enjoyed an excellent meal along with service to match, the food was very tasty and well priced. Hoping to return very soon when we are in the area.

Lovely simple pub food. Large portions and very flexible staff letting adults order from the kids menu for smaller portions.

As the title says the staff were very friendly and the pub is in a lovely location but the food was disappointing. The melon for starter was clearly very over ripe, unappealing on the eye and still on the skin. The “pan fried chicken escalopes” was delivered as a whole chicken breast. My wife is intolerant to black pepper and was advised that unfortunately all the sauces contained black pepper. Any self respecting chef would have offered and been able to knock up a simple sauce without pepper. No offer was made. I suspect he / she couldn’t be bothered. Nevertheless we had a pleasant evening but it was a shame about the food.

We booked as we were staying at a B and B along the road. Genuinely surprised at the quality of the menu and volume of food. Yes, the scallops were amazing buy so was the chicken pie and the desserts. Don't bank on being able to manage both! Worth a drive to, in the food alone.

We were staying in the village for a week and visited the bar for food and drinks Can’t complain about anything The staff were friendly and we could even take the dog in. Price wise it’s about what you pay anywhere else so decent value.

We decided to have 4 days break in an area that we had not tried before. What a find this place was in a small quiet village on the edge of the mores. The room was a good size and very clean, parking was good at the rear of the pub and they had good secure storage for our bikes. All the staff were excellent and the food was very good and plentiful. Would we go back, I hope so.

After a visit to see the Farndale daffodils we stopped off for lunch in this delightful village pub. We opted for the 2 course lunch special,a bargain at £12.50. We shared a king prawn starter and jam roll poly sweet and chose pork medallions and pheasant breast. What a feast, both choices were excellent arriving with a dish of vegetables and a jug of creamy sauce each.Excellent service in this charming dog friendly pub we will certainly be back!

Wonderful old pub. Dark oak beams and open fires. Great atmosphere. Warm welcome and efficient service. Lovely home cooked food.

A proper country pub! Low beams and open fires, staff who made us very welcome in the "twixmas" lull before the mad New Year rush. Excellent food cooked to order, with reasonably priced drinks. A warm and spacious bedroom (with some conversational noise from the bar below) All in all, one of the best places we have spent anniversaries! NB the car park holds only about 6 cars, but there is ample space on the road outside, which is very quiet.
