The Star Inn in Ryedale

Fantastic modern suites. Extremely comfortable. The continental breakfast was superb, probably the best I've ever had. The location is a little out of the way from anything but if a quiet retreat from civilization is what you're looking for.. look no further. Exceptional value.

We stayed next door and their restaurant was shut, so we came to the star inn, it was excellent. It was burger night and we had the Star burger and the Lamb burger, some of the best burgers we have ever had. We ended up staying in there for drinks cause the selection of drinks and the games/darts etc. Really great place! Oh and dog friendly which we needed!

One night stay for 2 adults, a teenager and his dog. Excellent value for money, clean modern suite with a comfortable sofa and beds. TV in the room , continental breakfast and most importantly dog friendly. An excellent stay in a welcoming environment.

I have just stayed at the Star Inn for a night with my 12 and 14 year old daughters and we can’t fault our stay one bit. The location, room, staff and food were all fab. We will definitely be back as soon as we can.

This is a lovely village pub. We received a warm welcome from the staff and owners. We both had the gammon steak and can thoroughly recommend it. The menu is varied and the ambience is great. Well worth a visit.

Went for our lunch on Saturday food was amazing the couple that run it went above and beyond to accommodate our awkward kids will definitely be going back for more food

We would just like to welcome all to the Star Inn Weaverthorpe, a family friendly community pub with Great food, drinks and people 😀

I have given this place 1 star only because 0 wasn't an option. Keep away. No experienced front of house, menu is minimal to say the least and doesn't even have prices on. Our table wasn't ready and the waitress took her first opportunity to tell us they had a table of 7 in so that was why we put in the back room . We waited 40 minutes for our starters and I had my deep fried mushrooms placed In front of me, no salad, garnish or any attempt at presentation, my wife had hers passed to her from the waiter who admitted he didn't even know what hers was. We waited another 30 mins and still our plates hadn't been taken so at that point we decided to pay for what we had and leave. I wish the owner the very best of luck but they won't survive until they master the basics

We went for a family dinner today. Sunday roast, good choice of meat, loads of veg and no overload of potatoes, good sized yorkshire pud and gravy. Beware the meat is smoked so the beef for example is on the rarer side. I had beef and between us one of each of the other meats, lamb and turkey. All were tender and full of flavour. Good choice of condiments, horseradish, mint sauce etc friendly attentive staff and owners. Variety of puddings.

Sunday lunch out was completely ruined. Took nearly an hour, serving others that arrived after. No coffee or tea. No starters. No desserts. We weren’t given a menu… told it was just beef, turkey,lamb. Ordered lamb and NO MINT SAUCE which is bizzare. Told they were trying something new by offering horseradish! Absolutely spoiled our dinner as that is a lamb dinner tradition! Carrots were rock hard! We all loved carrots but partially cooked would have been nice. Meals arrived and we all sent them back as they were cold. Lots of string left on the meat! I nearly swallowed a long piece! I don’t think the owner took our complaint seriously as we heard others complaining about carrots and no sauce. With the Bluebell next door they should be on top on their game. Next Sunday lunch we will all be eating at the Bluebell and giving this place a miss. Only being open for 2 weeks is no excuse- sorry it spoiled our day and can’t recommend it.

Underwhelmed. Probably won't go back. I will say the service was great, but the food did not justify the price. Portions were pretty miserly e.g. Roast dinner had 2 halves of a very small roast potato and 1 thin slice of beef.

Decided to eat here whilst staying in the area. Six adults. We decided to sit outside as it was such a lovely evening. We pulled 2 of the picnic benches together to accommodate us all. Unfortunately the bench my brother sat on was rotten and collapsed, thankfully no damage done. Waitress came to take order then came back for drinks order. Brother in law is coeliac so asked for a beer that stated gluten free on the menu...was brought a non gluten free beer. Steak and ale pie was the best thing ordered on the menu..ribeye steaks at £25 each very thin and dry and was not asked how it was to be cooked....homemade quiche and salad....tasted exactly the same as a cheap supermarket quiche and only 3 small wedges on the plate....food took around 45 minutes to be brought out and pub wasn't even that busy

Acabamos de regresar a casa después de una estancia de 3 noches aquí con nuestros 3 hijos. Las habitaciones están decoradas con un alto estándar y muy limpias y acogedoras con pequeños toques que no pasaron desapercibidos. Comimos allí 2 noches y para el desayuno cada mañana y fue hermoso cada vez con un servicio amable y realmente nos sentimos atendidos y acogimos con satisfacción toda nuestra estancia. Visitamos Flamingo Land, Pickering / steam train y Thornton Le Dale y esperamos volver al be + be para relajarse. No tengo nada negativo que decir y, como familia, tuvimos una estancia perfecta realmente relajante. Estaremos recomendando a amigos y familiares y esperamos regresar nosotros mismos. Gracias por un descanso encantador y sigan trabajando duro haciendo un trabajo excelente.

Dropped in unexpectedly and was impressed by the clean, bright feel to the reception area and restaurant. Typical pub menu. We chose Whitby Scampi with French fries, peas and a small bowl of salad, all very well presented. Good value and quick service.

Fuimos allí en una reserva de último minuto después de llegar a la zona para una boda al día siguiente Yo tenía bistec y otros miembros tenían escarabajos de medallones de cerdo y patatas fritas. Sin quejas. Presentado maravillosamente. El servicio también fue bueno. Solo cuesta 20 cada uno con bebidas también

Me alojé en The Star por una noche mientras estaba cerca para ir al trabajo, lo cual nunca es muy divertido, especialmente si las excavaciones no son muy agradables. Sin embargo, en esta ocasión, ¡alcancé el premio gordo! Reservamos la habitación 4, una individual, que era moderna, estaba impecablemente limpia y muy cómoda. Cenamos por la noche, paté seguido de gammon steak, que estaban muy bien, como era el desayuno de la mañana siguiente. Los amables dueños y el personal, y estar en una zona tranquila y agradable hecha para una estancia agradable, y no puedo recomendarlo lo suficiente. ¡Gracias!

Divertido como casi todos los pubs ingleses, oscuro, histórico, bonito y con servicio amable y ambiente campechano.

we have been twice. Need to book, was packed. Cannot fault the food, price and service. Great atmosphere. Small but quaint.

Los nuevos propietarios de las Estrellas realmente han hecho bien para transformar esta antigua posada deteriorado en un gran lugar para comer y beber. Llamamos temprano en un jueves por la noche para una cena con mi hermana y su marido. Era bastante tranquilo, pero pronto nos pedir nuestra comida y el pan de ajo de arranque era grande y delicioso! Por el momento los principales campos llegamos el lugar era llenar para el concurso noche de regular (recomendado). Elegí el cerdo escalopes que estaban muy buenos, pero si sólo comer aquí una vez y luego debes probar el auténtico estilo pizzas grandes y deliciosos como mi cuñado. En general, un pub con comida excelente en una ubicación maravillosa. ¿qué no?

Sadly the chef was away because of child having accident . Restaurant is fine and welcoming. Would recommend the pizza.

Vivimos en el pueblo de Weaverthorpe y como Julian y Rachel han tomado el pub es ahora un lugar que vayamos. La redecoración ha hecho el pub mucho más cálido y acogedor y la comida es deliciosa. Debemos comer allí como mínimo una vez cada dos semanas y nunca he tenido una mala comida. Mucha variedad y buenas pizzas!

El domingo, decidí probar una pizza para llevar. Al llegar al pub fui recibido por un ambiente muy incómodo. Las pocas personas en el pub dejado de hablar cuando voy andando y permanecían en silencio todo mi tiempo de espera. He pedido una pizza margarita y patatas, como me dijeron donde no disponible para orden hamburguesas! ? (He adjuntado una foto de mi pizza) La base fue quemada, el queso era como de goma y los tomates crudos, las patatas fritas parecía estar bien. Tenía ganas de tener tener una comida estupenda, solamente puedo dejar decepcionado y pero seguros si lo intentaré de nuevo.

Tuvimos un almuerzo muy agradable aquí en nuestra visita a Nueva York, un poco caro, pero sabíamos que antes de ir allí, así que no puedo objetar que, muy agradable perspectiva sobre el río y cómodos asientos. La comida era buena y bien presentada, nuestro camarero Matt era muy servicial con información sobre otros restaurantes en el mismo grupo y las cosas que hacer, además, un camarero muy educado y capaz, volveré allí de nuevo la próxima vez que estemos en la zona.

Looking for somewhere to eat we decided to try the Star Inn, reputedly the oldest and most haunted inn of York. A collection of small but easily accessible rooms gave an intimate feel. A rather limited menu of typical pub style food but enough to be tempting. Order at the bar and remember your table number! It wasn't until we sat down after ordering the we realised we only had forty minutes before our train left! We explained this to the very friendly waitress and she said she would see what could be done. Ten minutes later (& it was busy) we had our food! All of the staff were very good at their jobs and from what we observed the customers very definitely came first.If our waitress reads this we left a tip but your colleague collected it! We also made the train with 20 second's to spare! Thankyou for your help.

Sunday lunch was excellent. Friday night was a good night with live music good atmosphere. Under new management and undergoing refurbishment so can only get better and better . Will defiantly be returning soon.

Group of 11 adults and 2 children visited for food. The staff couldn't of been anymore helpful. Good variety of options on the menu which between us we had the majority of them and everyone thoroughly enjoyed. The pizzas are huge presented on large wooden boards with a great variety of toppings bbq chicken was the choice within our group and it was thoroughly enjoyed. The giant home made Yorkshire puddings I would highly recommend as a Yorkshire pudding lover filled with mash, roast beef and veg it was very filling and enjoyable. There is a good variety of drink options available whether you choose alcoholic or non alcoholic with a good wine menu. I would highly recommend visiting The star Inn for food or just to sit out and have drinks.

Although there are many other options on the menu, all of them delicious, and you can get stone baked home made pizzas, it's the burgers that I always order - especially the Black and Blue Burger with Stilton cheese and black pudding!

Give this place a miss. Cannot see it surviving very long when even the locals were not in the bar. Not been cleaned in months. Worst local I have been in this year.

Staff lovely and friendly. Pizzas enormous but very tasty. Usual pub food - very good. Didn't stay in rooms so cannot comment.

Brilliant food fantastic steaks lovely couple who run it Friendly very Doggy friendly Worth a second and third visit will be looking forward to our next visit thankyou

Hyggelig atmosfære i parken ned mot elva. Fin uteservering. Veldig hyggelig og serviceinnstilt personell. Maten var veldig god og prisene var litt helt ok. 3500 NOK for 6 X retters inkl en bedre vin. Fikk servert laks til forrett og en helt perfekt and til hovedrett. Avsluttet med en rabarbra/marshmallows dessert som var veldig god, men litt for mektig.....

Make sure not to miss this gem hidden under the river bridge . For Pub food its totally wonderful . Someone said it has a Michelin Star , i am not sure i would go that far but it is a really good place to eat in York which has quite a few good places to eat and drink . This is one of the finer ones . The server was really friendly and helpful, as was the greeting at the door . Fine food relatively reasonably priced good wines and beer what more could you ask for....... enjoy

Expensive but tasty. The dishes are not for a big appetite as we were left hungry a couple of hours later. Lovely views. Good wine

Some friends recommended this restaurant, down by the river in York. The ambiance is wonderful, the service attentive and fun, and the food was creative and superb. You get there walking down what almost looks like an alley, go almost under the bridge, through a gate and then start to smell the wood fire, and see the big glass windows and welcoming entry. Quite a find.

A real pub serving excellent food and real ale next to a great Glamping site in a very nice wolds village close to many places of interest.

Like another reviewer, we stayed at the Blue Bell but ate at the Star Inn in the Friday evening. Got there at 8pm on a Friday night and no problem finding a table. Pub was not too busy. As the night went on it did get busier and busier around the bar. The place had a really good vibe and could easily have stayed much later if we didn't have a wedding to go to the next day. Barmaid cum waitress was very naturally friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Myself and my friend both had the sirloin steak retro style - great size for a hungry person. All presented on a wooden chopping board with a small pot of chips and some nice coleslaw. Cooked perfectly to my liking and a wonderful taste, the quality spoke for itself. I think every plate I saw in the pub was finished off - they've got it right!

Althought we stayed at The Blue Belle, we decided to eat at The Star and booked a table. It was a lovley evening but turned colder as the sun went in so we had our starter outside and moved in to a table window for main course - the staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. The food was really good - big portions though, but had to eat it all (!) - and very good value. Good choice of local beers and wine at sensible prices too

Fabulous food .. Attentive staff .. Lovely relaxed atmosphereWould defiantly recommend a visitBen (waiter) a real find

My daughter who lives in York suggested this place, she had heard good things. She was right great staff good food great ambiance. It doesn't come much better. We both had the liver pate starter it was quite delicious and a good sized portion, I then had the cod with mussels exquisite and my daughter the fish and chips it looked delicious ( she said it tasted so as well).A chocolate indulgence for her and a wonderful coffee for me.Over am a great experience.

Popped in for a quick drink what a gem it has a fantastic spot in the river, wish we had discovered earlier but we will return for food lovely set up and staff very polite

Great setting, plenty of friendly and helpful staff. The food: simply gorgeous!! Decor and ambience spot on love it and will be back soon thank you!!

Saw this place from a river cruise boat and was smitten. Had to wait for a table on the terrace but ten minutes went by quickly with a drink at the bar. Not sure why half the terrace tables are for drinkers only and the other for eating AND drinking, but im sure the Star have their reasons. The staff couldn't have been more attentive, the location wonderful in the sunshine and the food was delicious. If you want a relaxed lunch in a delightful location, try this place.

We went to this restaurant on our last night for a meal. The restaurant over looks the river and has large windows giving a great view. The menu had a large selection of food, plus a set specials menu. We had a lovely selection of different bread while we were waiting on our food. I had the mussels to start with this was meant to have bread with it but that did not arrive but as it was a large portion I didn't ask for the bread.When our main course arrived the pork was just warm and the mash was stone cold. This was quickly take away as was my partners meal much to his disappointment. We we given replacement meals very quickly. I had the pork and my partner had the slow cooked lamb. The waiter was great he poured the wine when our glasses were empty he explained the menu wonderful service from him. Even though we had a a bit of a blip with our main course it was dealt with very quickly and the new meal was excellent. I would recommend the food highly.

We expected a gastropub but were nearly underdressed! Very enjoyable food and drink with good service and strange chairs. It was dark in February but a lunch by the river in the spring sun would be very lovely.

We went earlier in our trip. Someone suggested we meet there for a drink and perhaps dinner. We knew it was pricey but we said Sure. We were glad we did. Yes, it is a little pricey but the service, the food, the drinks are very good.

Having seen a review of this restaurant in The Guardian whilst deciding where to take The Boss for her birthday meal I was determined that this would be the place, when I found that it was a five minute walk from the hotel this was the cherry soaked brandy in the hot chocolate. We booked a table when passing in the afternoon and returned later in the evening to be shown to a table by a delightful young lady who, it transpired, was working her very first shift. She had to inform us of this as you would never have guessed from the level of service. The food was as excellent as the service and was worth the money spent. Our post prandial drinks included the cherry brandy hot chocolate alluded to earlier that was simply the best hot chocolate she has ever experienced. The only downside is that the selection of drinks available to those of us less interested in viniculture could be extended to more than one beer, though the oak cask aged beer from Barbados was most agreeable. If on the hunt for a really good meal in York you should do yourself a favour and try The Star Inn.

Wonderful surroundings for an afternoon tea of excellence. Staff very friendly and the veranda over the river is fantastic.

came in here for a quick drink to warm up before our river cruise and I was by the far the best hot chocolate I've ever had...will be visited for food on our next visit...such a classy place.

I came to eat here in August and I am looking forward to returning again soon! From start to finish I had a very enjoyable experience and would recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone! It caters for everyone and the chefs are very accommodating to meet your required needs (being a vegetarian I know I can be fussy but they were great in helping out)! The service was brilliant throughout and Matt, the head chef, even came out to speak to us and check that we were enjoying our food which was a really nice touch. I have noticed that some people think that they bread in flat caps is stupid and wrong, however, I think it is an amazing idea and really adds to the unique dining experience you receive. Credit to Matt and his team for all the hard work they have put in to making this place a success!

We were a group of six, We arrived earlier than booking was made for but were still met with a warm reception, offered a place to sit and take drinks until table became free. All six of us had three courses and not one of us were disappointed. Both presentation and taste was delicious. Our waitress was very polite and the service ran very smoothly. As for value for money, outstanding for the quality of the dishes. Can't wait to return and I know I will definitely need to book in advance.

We visited this pub for a late lunch very old fashioned dark pub .Fish and Chips really good also pies a speciality .meat was exceptional.The Beer was exceptional Rigwelter and Old Peculiar on draft .Staff were extremely friendly and chatty . Will return here again .

A large group of us went to the Star. As many people have pointed out, the setting is absolutely wonderful, with views over the river. The interior is also beautiful. However, that's where it stops. We pre ordered our food at around 11.00 a.m. However, the staff were unable to advise us regarding the 'specials' as they said that they would not be made aware of them until later. I struggled to find anything on the menu, which is limited. I chose the garden salad (at £16). When we returned for our meal at 2.00 p.m., we were put in the private dining area upstairs. There is no view from this room and we had to wait a long time for our mains i.e. 45 minutes. When they arrived, there were all sorts of problems e.g. no vegetables, some food was cold. My garden salad was very strange - mostly a puree of blue cheese with a carrot and a piece of kale stuck in it. It was a huge disappointment. A few members of our party had desserts and these looked great, but, on the whole, we found the long wait and the food a big let down. What a shame for such a beautiful location.

Great looking place and very busy. Menu was different from the usual run of the mill so we were looking forward to it. Complimentary bread arrived at the table, unfortunately the top layer was stale and dry probably where it had been sitting around in the heat of the kitchen. One starter of mussels arrived without the bread which we were told when we enquired that the kitchen had run out of bread and more was in the oven! The potted pate was nice but nothing out of the ordinary. The cassoulet was exceptional and the mussels were lacking flavour. Main courses arrived. Do not order the lamb. It was swimming in barley and arrived looking like a swiss roll, It tasted pretty awful too and looked like slop on a plate. The waitress was very good, she immediately took it away I swapped it for the pork which was not inspiring. My husband ordered the risotto which he said was OK and our friend had the woof which looked the best dish - basically fish and chips but fish bread crumbed to an escalope. She said this was very nice. We skipped dessert as dinner was a bit flat and disappointing. I would summarise as being average quality food with a restaurant trading on the name and brand. We will definitely not be back. The bill of £150.00 was not worth what was presented to us and there are many superior restaurants in York as we know from experience. The mixed reviews on Trip Advisor are very true. This is a hit or miss restaurant.

This is a stylish restaurant in a beautiful setting - it's almost a waste to go when it's dark. They turn tables for dinner, which I hate, but the food is good and the wine list reasonable. It's not cheap but we could have halved the cost of our meal by sharing dishes as the portions are massive, not just generous but wasteful. They must throw so much food away.The liver pate starter was the size of a pot you would buy at a farmer's market, with half a loaf of (good) bread. The Yorkshire pudding starter was hilarious, the size of someone's head. Same for the prawn cocktail, each dish would easily serve two. The ravioli was excellent but again, way too much. We couldn't fit dessert in, despite a valiant effort. I'd go again, but would share everything.

Ate on the terrace, expensive but good food and nice atmosphereFriendly staffWe had Fillet steak and a recommendation on wine and both were excellent

Shared the Yard of Yorkshire with friends - extremely well presented, particularly liked the lovely different kinds of bread served in the flat cap. Other diners were having more substantial meals and, again, these looked well presented and moorish. Don't know why we haven't eaten there in the past but will definitely do so again in the future.

I finally managed to visit the Star Inn for my wedding anniversary, my wife had been here 2 to 3 times before with work and has not been too keen but we thought we would give it a go. The scenery was amazing, probably one of the best in York and the service was excellent however what let the place down was the food. To start with I first thought that the menu was poor and struggled to find anything appertising. I started with a Posh prawn cocktail and I have to say that it was very nice, well worth it, this was followed by a £30 T-bone steak which was very, very poor. The steak looked like it had been steamed which lost all the hallmarks and the tradition of the steak. Some taste was there and it was cooked to how I ordered it however I think I lost 2 stone trying to cut through the sinew and the fat. I have eaten many steaks in many restaurants and this was probably the worst. If a restaurant wants to charge £30 for a steak I expect it to be top notch, something special not some chewy, rubbery and fatty lump. We both shared the steamed ale cake for dessert and we were extremely let down and the cake came dry as sand, I either needed 4 jars of butterscotch sauce or I needed to eat it in the Ouse. I’m no chef but I think it’s harder to dry out a cake when it’s steamed with ale than make it spot on. £95 for 2 course and 1 dessert - will not be going back and will not recommend.I felt sorry for the very helpful waiter

We stayed nearby and ate at the restaurant. Friendly and helpful welcome and even though it was a Saturday night at a popular time we were given a table within a few minutes. Food was traditional, no fuss, pub grub but with a quality look to everything we saw emerging from the kitchen My steak was superb, one of the best I have enjoyed for a long time.

The Star Inn is situated on the banks of the river and overlooks the gardens in the centre of York. As two of the walls of the restaurants are glass you are spoiled for views at this time of the year. The inside of the restaurant is beautifully presented and it's obvious that a lot of thought has gone into it.That however is about as complementary as I can be. Service was extremely slow at times. Food when it arrived was lukewarm and not as described and coffee was not available as there was only one barrista on duty - in the tourist season!

We gphave been yesterday night for dinner. And of course, if someone wants to spend a lots of money for food, it should be of a good quality. We had 3 different starters: ravioli, a salad and yorkshire pudding. Well, ravioli and salad were quite good, but the yorkshire puddings quite aged. Really hard, when they are supposed to be soft on the bottom. They were actually dried and really bad. Lets go to he main: a 35 pounds risotto, cold, fish overcooked and one of the ingredients wasn't available and the waitress didn't bother to tell us, so when the risotto has arrived we thought that they forgot somethin. The other two main were ok, but nothing special. The rib didn't really worth 16 pound( or more I don't remember). It was quite cold and dry. Onion rings clearly cooked in dirty oil, they were quite black. Really nice the waitresses. in general overpriced and bad quality. I don't recommend it to anyone. just nice location and good interior.

When arrived as three of us, we were really looking forward to it. The waitress shown us the table which was good near the window, but the chair was bit narrow and squash due waitress walking up and down and felt disappointment. She gave us the menu, but she never said there is a special on the board which we didn't know until we finished dinner, but anyway, we had a main meal and for our option there were enough choices so felt disappointing and we want house wine which is fine but beware the price for the house wine as we were shock when the bill come to it. It was the most expensive meal we had so we not sure if we going again or not. The dinner itself look good it just couldn't relaxed and it was so expensive.

Popped in of a drinkie after enjoying a stroll along the river. Having seen some of the food heading towards the restaurant be looked at the bar menu. 'A yard of Yorkshire' is a sight to see and perfect platter to share and enjoy between the 4 of us.

The service was shambolick and food may have been sourced locally but was overcooked and dry. The placed seemed over styled and lacked quality - very disappointing.

I loved the setting, great decor and friendly staff. The smell of turf burning as you enter is a nice touch and the bar area is very stylish. Food is lovely but very rich!

Food was freshly cooked and looked good on the plate. Mine was a special order - vegetarian moussaka, Greek food cooked by the Greek proprietor, so much appreciated.

We visited on a Tuesday night for an anniversary dinner, we were welcomed and sat in the bar area for a drink with no pressure to rush to our table. Fantastic specials board and menu for dinner, muscles, ox cheek and fish were fantastic.Friends had issues previously on a weekend with lengthy wait for main meals but we had no issues and the restaurant was 3/4 full.We'll worth a visit and a very pleasant manager checking with us regularly.
