The Standard in Hambleton

Lovley friendly pub just like it should be

Came in a couple of weeks ago as a group of 5. Had 5 different dishes and all 11/10. Can't recommend enough

Sunday lunch Delicious served hot, plates hot fresh veg good price and plenty in the plate surprised myself eating it all x

UPDATED: the summer menu has a good selection of food. If you like it spicy then I highly recommend the buldak, oh what a dish that is. Best food pub in town, Sunday lunches are excellent and the beef and onion baguettes are terrific value. Never heard a complaint on the drinks, they do a good selection. Highly recommended.

Went for lunch and food was absolutely fantastic - taste, quality, presentation and value. Portions very ample. From the outside an honest local pub but food probably best we’ve had in a long time. Will definitely be back and hugely recommend.

When the landlord knows what glass you like and remembers your straw. Top man. Love our sat nights in here 🥰

Great beef Sunday lunch, well cooked and still tender, well done to all :)

Fantastic environment with great beer, landlord and live bands

Sunday lunch is the best in town. Today, we had 3 of the Korean chicken sharers, and it was exceptional. I've been a patron of The Standard for 20yrs, I've tried other places in town, but this place is the best 👌

Great craic. Wonderful clientèle and Landlord.

On our various stays in Northallerton we have sampled most of the town’s pubs and the Standard is certainly one of the very best. It is a local pub with traditional style and decor and is smart and very clean. They have a small selection of real ales and the blonde and Wainwright’s we sampled were spot on. Service was good and the atmosphere friendly. Cracking pub.

Beautiful Sunday lunch as always

Was there for a birthday party fantastic pub, buffet spot on along with the live band

The Standard do the best Sunday lunch in town. Staff are always friends, drinks and food are always spot on and reasonable priced.

Excellent food lots off and tasty great service loverly people 10/10

I can highly recommend the char sui loaded fries, sweet sticky & delicious 😋 at £5.95 a bargain.

Real ale in a real pub with a rock/ metal jukebox ! Result !

A great pub whether for a beer or for food. Great atmosphere and the Sunday lunch is amazing. Nice beer selection and excellent service. Recommend.

Great value, tasty food and friendly staff.

Beef was lovely pork wanted cooking a bit more carrots tasteless

Nothing is too much trouble :-) Fantastic food as always

Only sat out in garden very quite but OK

The food is amazing! Especially the Korean dishes. Staff are always friendly and welcoming. There is also a large outdoor area at the back. Brilliant place.

Very welcoming staff, great beer and fantastic food. The menu choice is very comprehensive and unbeatable value for money. We will definitely be visiting for lunch again.

Probably the worst Sunday lunch I have ever had. I only came because a friend recommended the place. Not a place I would normally go to. Not fresh yorkshires. Soggy parsnips. Lumpy mash and old potatoes used for not crispy roasties. The best thing about the meal was the carrots. And the wine was awful. Will not be returning.

The Staff are great and very attentive. Food is well above the average pub selection. The only comment I would make; is the decor is a bit dated and could do with an uplift. Otherwise very enjoyable.

Lovely pub, staff are great and very welcoming and polite. We eat here often because hubby loves the fish and chips but this is the first Sunday lunch we've had as a family. Can't fault it, fabulous value for money, portions are very large and the meat was beautiful, the beef melted in the mouth as did the pork...and the crackling was cracking . The lemon and passionfruit cheesecake is homemade and delicious, the chocolate brownie is also a must have for any chocolate fan . Only downside is my eyes are too big for my belly and i think im going to pop!!👌 will definitely be returning as Sunday lunch visitors. 10/10

We visited after talking to a local and we weren’t disappointed it’s a very small pub but the beer and the staff were fantastic. We got chatting to the landlord and chef and they were extremely welcoming and the smell from the kitchen was fantastic we were shown the menu and the chef was very passionate about what he produced telling us what was going to be the special. We decided to return the next day and try the food ourselves we had a pork belly curry and sticky rice that were extremely tasty and more than enough portion wise in fact we both couldn’t eat it all despite trying our best. Again we chatted to staff and locals and had a great time would recommend this place for both food and drinks in fact we are already talking about going back down for the food as it was that good and getting the train back home the same day. Hope these two lads have all the luck in the world as they deserve this place to be remembered.

fantastic service and great portion sizes too.

Nice, old fashioned pub. Really enjoyed it.

Beautiful Sunday lunch. Choice between 4 meats or all 4 meats was a nice touch. Service absolutely faultless. Wish I'd spotted this little gem sooner. Overall 9.5 out of 10. That extra .5 point is only because the gravy wasn't as thick as id like it to be but still very tasty! Well done to all the staff for their brilliant service. X

Asked on-line if the Rugby 🏉 📺 was on & if dogs were allowed. Quick reply was, yes to both, but we should book, as very busy Sunday lunch time. Arrived on time, table set, TV on, remote control on the table!! The hospitality from the two guys, was brilliant, really looked after us all & dogo🐶. Would recommend for food, drink and overall friendliness.

Excellent Sunday lunches with varied options! All staff were welcoming and friendly

Lovely Sunday lunches, friendly staff

Me & my work colleagues have made this our regular dwelling for a drink & a meal after work. Can't help but heap praise on this pub! Not only is the food & drink a very competitive price but of the best quality too. The chef informed us that the menu is changing soon. Not that we need any encouragement to return! Fabulous!!

Fantastic lunch today. Food is excellent, the chef is a genius. Very friendly staff and great choice of food - beer good too.

Lovely staff & friendly atmosphere. Food tasty & more adventous than the normal pub grub all homemade & cooked to a high quality. Only reason for 4 stars is the beer garden is in desperate need of a revamp & clear up.

Went for Saturday lunch with my son . The food was first class ,great presentation,and great portions. Service was great.well done all at the standard. We will be back. X

I take no pleasure in writing negative reviews, but it would be disingenuous to describe The Standard as anything other than disappointing. My companion and I went for Sunday lunch. The mash potato was like nothing I had ever tasted before and not in a good way. On the plus side the meats were cooked to prefection. I'm assuming that The Standard is still trying to find its feet after COVID. The reviews pre-covid were mainly very positive. I believe they had won various awards. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive. I wish The Standard all the very best.

Quaint little pub which I have to admit surprised me. Stopped for a quick bite to eat, expected the standard pub menu so was surprised with what we presented with. Ordered the chicken platter, which came out much more fancier than I was expecting. Beautiful food, so well cooked and flavoured - and beautifully presented. Compliments to the chef. We will definitely return.

Nice food excellent portions of meat but for me personally i would have liked more vegetable ...nice meal tho and friendly staff

Food was good didn't like the way the person took the order the customer is always right I wanted mash roasties and chicken and he just made a big deal out of it won't be rushing back

Lovely atmosphere and beer! Proper pub

Nice local pub. Was made to feel welcome and enjoyed a rew pints there. Thankyou to the staff

Brilliant lunch today. After finding 6 pubs closed whilst on a bike ride, we were welcomed into the Standard by a helpful, cheery guy and ordered from an extensive menu even though it was 2.30pm. Well done!

Nice pub food at reasonable prices. Good choice. Friendly staff. But it is really a pub rather than a restaurant

Popped in to try somewhere different... excellent food, drink and service. Will definitely be back when we go to Northallerton.

Excellent food, friendly atmosphere and good beer

Absolutely beautiful food.Onion rings are the best iv ever eaten.We will definitely be going back for dinner tonight again on our last night of our stay in Northallerton.

Nice pub, good food (good variety of meat) good variety of drink and more than helpful staff

Easy going, friendly, nice atmosphere. A proper old school pub.

Wonderful Sundays lunch and cheap with table service and running friends.

Lovely place. Always feel welcome and great food.

We have passed this pub many times but never ventured in until we read reviews on TA last night and have to say we wasn’t disappointed today a good menu offering traditional food and Mexican Korean sandwiches something for everyone we was met with a cheery smile from the barmaid who took our drinks order whilst we chose our food we both went for beef casserole which was plentiful and freshly cooked while we waited reasonably priced a traditional pub friendly staff pleasant atmosphere would definitely come back

Cosy pub but looking a bit tired.

Very generous portions. Recommend the beef baquete! Great value for proper pub grub👍

Had a lovely meal here tonight with our children. Lovely selection of food for both us being vegetarian and the children. We booked our table in advance. Our food came fairly quickly and was delicious. Only down fall which is probably the same for most pubs was some of the local regulars swearing there heads off at 6pm

Nipped in for a quick pint and little history lesson not bad beer staff fast and friendly and th chance to learn something

Turned up during a quiz night. Nice staff, excellent quiz host good drink.

The food was excellent and staff where very helpful

Amazing food 😋 perfectly cooked. homemade chips, fresh vegetables. Welcoming staff ,great service.

Visited for Sunday lunch. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Food was very average and we waited 45 minutes for our 2 Sunday lunches to arrive after ordering.

Lovely food very child friendly,good size portions can not fault it very friendly staff

The most amazing food, really recommend the katsu curry. Great outdoor area and plenty of parking out front or just round the corner

Played quoits in the back garden great to meet friends and catch up. Great pasted bake for supper

Great food and beer. Friendly staff also great local pub 👍

Not many places you can sit next to a plane in the garden. Food and service was great as always.

First time out in over 18 months due to the pandemic, the standard was recommended and it didn't fail , excellent social distancing, ,food was lovely and staff helpful and friendly, if I had to pick a fault it would be put sauce bottles on the table ...the little sachets are tiny, other than that lovely, fun evening with table service , will go again if I'm allowed!!!

Excellent meal at a very good price. Good menu selection. Highly recommended.

You cannot come to Northallerton without visiting the Standard! Run amazingly, food is amazing and the staff are super friendly. I would highly recommend this place for drinks or food! Book if you can, it’s busy!

Great little gem of a pub with great food at great value, good selection of beers lagers cider and a good varied menu, the food is gorgeous and great value for money

Lovely food and good hospitality. Met with friends for the first time in a year and everything was nicely spaced, waited on, and food was delicious. Thank you 😊

Great service as always with a good selection of beer!

Great staff, lovely beer garden feels very safe with social distances in place. Well done.

Chris delivered two roasts today. One to my elderly Dad and the other to his elderly neighbour. My Dad may be elderly but being a Yorkshire man he knows a good roast dinner. He said it was fantastic. Thanks Chris and Team x

We've just tried out Chris's new taster menu, absolutely superb! We will be back to try the other dishes we couldn't fit in tonight as too full! The Korean Fried Chicken is to die for!

Good food and even better beer in these dark times

Landlord very friendly but unfortunately the food was poor. Lasagne was luke warm and very dry

Had an amazing experience tonight. Went to support our local after the lockdown restrictions have ended to a brilliant new winter menu and tasting platters. I had 6 courses from the tasting menu and the quality and taste exploding from each dish really shows how talented the chef is there. From Korean fried chicken to calamari. Chris ensured the covid safety protocols were followed and ensured we had a safe and enjoyable visit. Can't speak highly enough of this pub.

Lockdown takeaway - Just picked up the Korean BBQ Roast Pork Baguette with vegetable pickle, chips and salad. A bargain at only £7:50 and it tastes amazing. You’ve really knocked this one out of the park. The chunkier chips and lovely salad travelled well in the same bag as my baguette and the Korean BBQ pork is very tasty. Everything was well wrapped to keep it warm so that once opened and plated up it’s looks almost as good as when you are sat in the pub and it’s served to your table. (I say almost as Mike is far better at presentation than me)The new winter menu has a lovely selection of both old and new dishes plus starters which I’m sure everyone will enjoy.

Phoned to book a Sunday lunch for delivery (things being what they are!). Well. We were not disappointed! Huge serving, the beef was melt in the mouth yummy. Overall amazing value for money. We’ll be back (but not today - we need to go and lie down for a while!).

Absolutely fantastic food....and excellent staff

We both had hot pork,stuffing and Apple sauce in a baguette ,very tasty and a large portion.The service was very friendly and we were pleased with our choice for a 'light ' lunch.The Guinness was good too.Definitely somewhere we would hope to revisit.

We had excellent memories of meals we've had there some months ago, we wondered why on a Friday evening no one else was dining,we soon found out,the menu was pathetic and choice-less with no starters we struggled to make a choice p pie's which had no crust all four of us left our food i can only think they have lost their chef and replaced them with and incompetent! so sad

Most of the people who patronised The Standard are called 'Fred' - even some of the women!

Gem of a place for food and drink, and very reasonable prices too! Chris (the owner), couldn't be more helpful and friendly. Slightly out of the town centre but well worth looking for!

We decided to have our lunch at The Standard as we were in Northallerton and we were glad we did.My daughter and I both had cheese burgers which for once were in proper floured bread buns instead of the brioche which I can't eat, home made steak burgers with a huge amount of melted cheese, with salad a onion confit.My wife had braised beef with ale casserole and chips.What can I say, everything was spot on and plates were left clean.The burgers were juicy, my wife said the beef in her casserole just fell to bits.The chips were proper wedges.Highly recommended to anyone

Called in for a few pints over a 2 day stay in Northallerton. I didn't sample any food but I did see it coming out of the kitchen and it looked and smelt good. The ales were in really good order and the pub has a fab beer garden... with a jet air plane in it !! If the sun is out I would recommend coming here for a pint or two...bar staff were friendly and the locals the same..... the only thing I would recommend to the pub, get the kitchen staff to smarten up a little..... never been a fan of the staff coming outside for a "vape" and wearing clothes that have seen better days.... apart from that.... defo recommend this pub to visitors to the town.....

A great place in Northallerton for a light lunch or a few drinks.

We had an excellent lunch here today; I had the beef dinner, the meat was melt in the mouth, excellent roast potatoes, mash, veg and a brilliant Yorkshire pudding. My wife and youngest had pork dinner and my eldest the ham all of which were polished off and very much enjoyed. For pudding we shared the crumble and jam roly-poly both of which were great. The staff were brilliant throughout. It is obviously a very popular restaurant as there wasn't a free table throughout the food service so I would recommend booking to avoid the disappointment and if you miss out on this food and the amazing prices you will definitely be disappointed.Thank you for a lovely afternoon

On a recent caravan trip outside of Northallerton we ventured into town to grab a bite to eat. One of the first pubs we came to was the Standard we asked if dogs were allowed and were happy to be told yes. We ordered drinks and were given menus. Very good selection of food on the menu from light snacks to full on big plates. I went for the spicy beef enchiladas and my wife the lamb shank. Our food took about 25 to 30 minutes which was fine with me at least you know its cooked fresh not a 'ding' meal.!! Food came and mine was massive served with a bit of side salad and chunky chips. Wife's meal was very nice she said and the dog had his eye on the lamb bone. I couldn't finish all mine due to the large amount i was served, the enchiladas were proper stuffed with meat and spices really really good quality. Got to be honest i was just expecting standard pub grub but this food was of a very high quality. Will return.

Can definitely say WOW food was home cooked and excellent! Potato wedges and garlic dip was the best! Me, Mel and Deborah had a great lunch! The pub is very friendly! Have to go again. I loved the home cooked large portions! xx

Dropped in to the Standard for Sunday lunch. Food is really tasty, huge in quantity, and ridiculously good value for money. I mean, they really should raise the price a little. Staff very friendly, helpful and attentive, and our little puppy was made welcome too. The kids even got given a free ice cream as we left!

Fantastic atmosphere and fabulous home cooked food, such large portions . Best dining experience in Northallerton.

A nice cosy pub with good beers.

We called in to the Standard today for the first time , Had a lovely meal of Sausage and Mash , A nice chat with the Landlord about all the Aeroplane pictures and the Raf Jet Provost in the beer garden , We have tried most of the eating places in Northallerton ,But this was by far the best, We will be back.

The food is lovely and the service is very good

What a cracking real old school pub with some fantastic food, we had a great welcome from a great landlord & all the staff. Good selection of ales and beers , if I’m up that way again I will sure pop in

Came for Sunday lunch with my family, we are always greeted with a warm welcome from Paul or Chris. Lovely food and lovely atmosphere, highly recommend.

Very friendly staff, great inexpensive food, good beer, unfortunately for me dog friendly, because I'm a cat person! Highly recommended.
