The Stone Trough Inn in Ryedale

Had Asparagus and wild garlic soup and loved it made on premises i believes had a couple of really nice local beers ( real ales )and the service there was top notch from the lovely young lady who served us also very dog friendly.

come after a walk, food was perfect couldn't fault anything fast service! thank you lily-may and sam!

Very warm and inviting (and dog friendly) welcome when we arrived. Service was impeccable. Food was amazing. We had the special soup of the day which was local asparagus and wild garlic. I'd advise you don't miss the chance to sample this delight due to the short life of locally sourced asparagus and wild garlic as it truly is scrumptious. The burger bomb and gluten free battered fish was equally amazing (had with gluten free battered onion rings). Portion sizes were not at all stingy and very well priced. The pub is a little off the beaten track but so so worth the short trip to get there. Will definitely visit again when we are next up this way.

Very nice pub, very friendly staff very time I went in.

The menu was not a traditional pub menu, there was no specials on board. The sweet menu was little choice. Would recommend the fried fish, it is massive but the chips spoilt it there were frozen. My Dad went to bar for drinks, and there was about 3 people behind bar doing nothing and ignored my dad at first till he said something. Will not be going back.

Very nice Sunday roast Nice views proper nice pint of Guinness

We went to the stone trough inn for Sunday lunch. The views from the restaurant are are beautiful, the staff are friendly and attentive and the food was delicious. They even went out of their way to make us a gluten free veggie option with extra sides, which I really appreciated.

Excellent in every way. The Sunday roast was the best roast beef dinner I have had in a pub. Excellent value. And the staff were friendly and attentive at the right time.

Seven of us had Sunday lunch today and we all enjoyed the food and lovely service. The menu is quite limited on a Sunday but there was something to suit all our tastes. Grandma could have done with a steak knife to cut her huge Yorkshire but that was our fault for not asking. Good communication to warn us about the bridge closure and to confirm our booking of an extra guest.

We went when the bar was quiet and didn't order food but the beer was very well kept and service efficient and very friendly.

Drinks were flat (cola) burger was raw and I like my meat pink informed them but the male server didn't even apologise or recognise the issue. Venue was nice but that was about it overpriced and didn't even take the service charge off even though we brought it to their attention about being dissatisfied.

A cold experience. Would expect in a country pub on a cold wet April day a log fire lit, especially with logs stacked at the side of the fire. Some guests were heard saying it was cold, putting their coat's back on before food arrived.

Fantastic Pub, a special place for me and my partner. Food is fantastic and a great selection of ales. VEG vegan options are fantastic!

Enjoyable Sunday lunch. Great views, good beer, pleasant ambience. Sunday lunch £23 for 2 courses, slightly over priced, but the additional £2 for small extra gravy jug & 10% service charge resulted in an over expensive experience.

New pie menu on Monday and Tuesday lunchtime £20 for 2 pies which were just fantastic

Just had the new pie menu, I had the steak and my wife the chicken and bacon What an absolute steal for £10 each, yes only £10 Beautiful pies, mash, gravy and mushy peas As good as The Humble pie shop in Whitby The pies were very good indeed So good we booked for the family on Easter Sunday See you on Sunday Thank you

We had a lovely Sunday lunch. Wonderful views. Looks to be a good walking area.

Went in for an evening meal for the first time. Absolutely amazing food and service. What a lovely place. Will definitely return. Thanks Jenni and Lily 😊

Really good proper hearty food and service

Stayed here last night. We didn't eat as we had eaten but we drank there in a beautiful room . The menu looked good & we plan to eat there next time. We paid £15 to stay in our camper in the large carpark. This price included breakfast. It was basic but hot & staff were very attentive even though it was busy & they had lots of other customers. Will definitely be back & will book to eat an evening meal

Absolutely first class. Food was excellent. Pub has a really friendly atmosphere. Setting is glorious. Reasonably priced. Cannot find a fault. Our first visit and will be back.

This is a gem of a pub, absolutely wonderful service and delicious food, good portions, friendly atmosphere and to top it all in a great location. I had steak and my friends had the fish and chips and the beef and bone marrow pie (which they did not stop raving about all evening). There was a nice selection of local beers and the bar tender/waiter was very knowledgable. We will defintely be going back soon and we only wish it was our local so we could go more often.

Excellent Sunday lunch. Best Sunday roast I've had in ages - slow cooked but pink beef incredible. Wife's vegetarian meal (Beetroot Wellington) really good too. Generous portions and fantastic food, in a lovely setting - with friendly staff. Good beer selection too. Dog and child friendly as well. They have a small menu to choose from, but that's a good thing for a Sunday roast I reckon. Will definitely be back.

The food was delicious and the portions were massive. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area! The stars were lovely and very accommodating

What a lovely local pub. Beautiful inside, warm log / coal fires and welcoming to owners of dogs. Took my sister up who had been staying. Had such a lovely meal. Food was amazing. Good potions and all freshly cooked. Came out feeling very full x certainly will be back. Thank you.

Christmas Day lunch - 6 of us had booked due to a great price, it was a great meal although I think the staff were a bit rushed serving everyone at the same time. We didn’t get the table we had reserved but nonetheless everyone enjoyed the meal which was plentiful and the turkey was very tasty. We will return at some point throughout the year.

Took my Father-in-law for a meal here last night. The food was excellent- we had two steaks both cooked differently, but to perfection, while my wife had the "not fish and chips" which was a very good portion of deep fried halloumi. Will definitely be coming here again

Staying locally and our friends who live locally booked a table for dinner. Very friendly staff. I had one of the best pies I've ever eaten here steak with marrow bone 👌 in fact the whole table had the same and everyone said the same. Very reasonably priced food , drinks were again well priced . Highly recommend if you like a proper 🥧

I've visited here several times over the years but our latest visit (since the arrival of new management!) was special. My husband and I took our little dog out for a walk on Boxing Day and wanted to follow it up with a few quiet drinks at the pub. Alex and Shannon were only too happy to welcome us and the atmosphere was lovely, with locals and off-duty members of staff all chatting and supping together. The pub was decorated so festively and it looked great. They allow dogs and our young pup was fussed and treated like a queen. (The pub dog Tweed is a very good boy.) We passed several very happy hours relaxing in the bar and are eager to return to try out the food menu! Come here if you like good old-fashioned pubs with a crackling fire, friendly staff and what looks like a delicious new menu. You'll get a warm welcome!

Christmas dinner was lovely and service great . Didn’t realise when I booked and wasn’t told there would be lots of dogs sitting in the dining room and some actually sat on the seats next to the owners apparently about 2 feet from a lady who didn’t look very pleased. I have owned dogs and am sure you can leave one at home for 2 hours or so while you eat in a busy restaurant.

Great family get together, 7 of us and 2 dogs. Lovely welcome, food, service and even water for the dogs. 5* experience at this gem of a pub 👌

Went for works Christmas dinner. And everyone loved it. The food was amazing and the staff could not be more helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend!

Went for the Christmas menu over the weekend and the food was amazing, can’t fault it and such good value for money! Cosy atmosphere and staff were very attentive and welcoming. Would definitely recommend!

Just been in tonight lovely pub food was brilliant all 5 of us no complaints at all. Fire was on which added to the nice feel. Superb. Well done to all.

A really lovely meal spoiled by an incredibly cold room. A great shame as the food was very good. Perhaps we will visit again in the summer.

Lunch time & a walk Alex served us knowledgeable about his ales. Hubby had pale ale on draught 10/10 The food was very tasty Marrowbone ale pie with powerful flavours 9/10 Hubby had the burger , very meaty flavour & cooked to perfection 9/10 Was quiet lunch time but service superb.

Visited for Sunday lunch. The pub was bustling, the staff were ran off their feet but I must say that lilly was fantastic and worked very well under pressure. She was in the terrace area, a real asset to your company. The food was brilliant. We both had the beef dinner which was cooked to perfection, full of flavour. Well done all

Booked a table for 6 for lunch. The food was good. They were busy and service was a little slow. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Unfortunately we were sat on a table near the door to the bar and everytime the front door was opened we got a cold draught. The poor staff had to keep going through the door to serve customers in the outer area. Still a good place and we will go again.

Very pleasant Sunday roast. Pink beef and high quality Yorkshire pudding.

We came across this pub just by chance and I'm so glad we visited! We came Sunday afternoon and roast dinner was amazing. We all really enjoyed it. The views surrounding the pub are beautiful as the staff were very friendly. Definitely worth a visit!

An absolutely gorgeous pub with an incredible atmosphere! The landlord and lady are absolutely fantastic and the food was amazing. If you’re ever after a real blue steak, here is the place! 10/10 recommend coming if you want a real pub!

Beautiful country pub in idyllic surroundings

Good service. Cozy setting. Steak was medium rare as requested but the Himalayan style steak was I think a Rump steak and didn't taste like a Prime cut or anything special. The dish cost £18+ for something that was OK. The Staff were welcoming and friendly. A bit noisy at the bar from a group of lads drinking loudly so we moved to a quieter area of the restaurant so we could talk with my husband but could still hear them in the background. I'm sure it would be a different experience another day. My Husband had halloumi, chips and mushy peas. No dessert, a half of Old Mouts cider and pint of lime soda.

Lovely place with extraordinary views across the old Abbey. Service was amazing and very friendly.

My partner, mother in law and daughter (3 months) went here for a Sunday lunch and were more than impressed with both the food and experience. It’s hard to find a really good Sunday lunch but we all said it was the best we’ve had in a long time! I had the chicken which was served with the biggest tastiest Yorkshire pudding and the others had the beef which they said was amazing. The pub is so cosy with beautiful views and just perfect for a cosy autumn meal. The staff were absolutely great, super friendly and so attentive, especially when my daughter needed water for her bottle and was crying. We will definitely be back!

We were recommended this pub by some walkers and we are so glad they did. Beautiful pub, friendly atmosphere very friendly and helpful staff and lunch was fabulous and excellent value. Would particularly recommend the ploughman's but the chicken and chorizo sandwich was also excellent. Will definitely go again.

Very friendly, lovely atmosphere and wonderful food at a good price. Staff couldn't be more welcoming

This is only our second visit, first one was 5 years ago whilst on holiday , we love it because it's dog friendly, and the staff are so friendly and helpful and we know the food will be good . Set in a nice quiet area.

Sunday lunch (pre-booked) for a group of 9 walkers. Absolutely lovely pub, made to feel very welcome on arrival, despite being 20mins late. The Sunday lunch was absolutely beautiful, everybody really enjoyed their meal. We'll be coming again for sure! Thank you to the team who served us 🍻

Called in by mistake but so glad we went to the wrong place. Bar man was utterly gormless. Ignored us. Place had no atmosphere. Didn’t try the food.

Called in here as we had driven to the wrong place. When I explained we had a booking to stay the guy stood there looking gormless, staring at me. After awkward 2 mins he said we don't have rooms! I checked my phone & got sorted meanwhile gormless guy & mate stood there sniggering at me!

Friendly staff, good food and dog friendly! Perfect for family get togethers

We went with our partially sight mum and didn't let them know when booking our table . But the quickly changed our tables to a more accessible area. There are lots of different levels to this beautiful establishment so may not be accessible for everyone

Beautiful views sat outside. Dog friendly, nice place would go again. Thanks

Came upon this pub by chance. Really good food and very friendly service👍

Nice tranquil surroundings, though the carpark is awkward for motorcycles, being on a hill and covered in gravel. Cramped up inside, spacewise. Couldn't get to the bar recently due to punters all sat round it blocking the way, with no barstaff in sight. Also I would be surprised if no one has stumbled on the steep block of a step,outside the front door, and broken their leg.

We had been staying nearby for a short break. We enjoyed a lovely walk in the morning, then went to The Stone Trough Inn for lunch, 2 dogs in tow. A new couple had just taken over here and gave us a warm welcome. The chicken and chorizo and the pink roast beef sandwiches, served on a big wedge of focaccia were both amazing. Fries to share and we were nicely full. If in the area, definitely give this pub a go and the new management your support.

Popped in yesterday for a drink at the end of a walk. Lovely exterior. On entering, it is clearly, erm, "aspirational". Bar staffed entirely by youngsters. One on phone taking a booking, one drying glasses, clearly too young to serve & one guy taking payment for a party's meal. When he finished, he turned to the till & started messing about with bits of paper while several folk were at the bar waiting for service. When I said "excuse me?" he turned & regarded me with a gormless gaze. "Can we have some drinks please?" Despite the fact that no one was serving at that time, he grumpily pointed out that HE was tidying up the till area and wasn't actually on serving duty. He resentfully served us, making it clear that customers were an inconvenience to his working day. So all the customers can stand & wait & wait while you tidy up bits of paper? 🤣🤣 If you're trying to be a high end pub - employ staff interested in hospitality.

Lovely food, great place and worth a visit. The bomb burger was amazing!! The ploughman's lunch was lovely too.

Absolutely super Sunday lunch. We went between Malton Open Day & York Races. I am super grateful for the late change in booking numbers. We had a super lunch - food delicious, view excellent, lovely venue & great service. Will call again.

We visited here yesterday and the food was amazing, I had the beef pie which was to die for. Other members of our party had the beef sandwich and the ploughman's lunch. I had the apple and cheese tart and that was a game changer. The service was brilliant also. No complaints and we have allready planned our next visit. Keep up the amazing work guys. And again thank you for the amazing food. The guiness was poured perfectlly aswell 👌.

Absolutely fantastic, service was great and food was fantastic, the beef Sunday roast was absolutely glorious, 👌🏻

Only stopped in for a drink in the beer garden. Nice pub in a lovely location.

Beautiful day to sit outside for a cold drink!! It was popular with plenty of diners, especially on a weekday!

All very nice great plough man's to share , tried the Alcohol free lager ,very nice .Service with a smile .

My Friends came over from Birmingham and so I booked a table at this fantastic place. It was recommended to me by my brother who lives nearby. The Pub is surrounded by beautiful views and the interior is cosy and welcoming. The food was very high quality and the level of service from the staff was amazing, they went out of their way to make you feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble. My friends were blown away by just how welcoming and friendly it was here and also wanted me to mention that they too thought that the food was very high quality and the level of service far surpassed their expectations and definitely want to visit again. I can't recommend The Stone Trough enough. If you are visiting York or any of the surrounding areas and are looking for somewhere to eat or even just have drinks with family or friends then seriously go and give this place a try as you will not be disappointed.

After a long walk we stopped for lunch. The sharing ploughman’s was superb - excellent cheddar, blue Stilton and pork pie with superb roast beef. All plentiful and excellent value. Really well kept local ale too.

Great food and staff, I couldn't fault anything. The Chardonay was the best I have had. I wasn't sure about gluten free batter on the fish but it was very good, nice and crisp. We all thought the chips were the best.

An absolutely fantastic Ploughman's lunch at The Stone Trough Inn. Roast beef on a Ploughman's is the future. The beef was meltingly tender, homemade picalilli was amazing and the batter on the onion rings was like glass. Fabulous food, plenty of parking and exceptionally dog friendly. We had an excellent pint of Peak pale ale and a lime and soda. Menu is varied and interesting, booking advisable at a weekend I would have thought! Staff were lovely and attentive. We were visiting on holiday but we'd be there every week given the opportunity!

Sunday lunch was amazing, everything was cooked to perfection, very high standard, and not crazy prices! also the sticky toffee date pudding with the molasses toffee sauce was the best ever.

Excellent food & staff , great pub & scenery , well worth a visit , we will be back soon .

Very good staff very friendly food great

Stopped on the off chance to have Sunday lunch and they were able to accommodate us. Excellent Sunday dinner and fantastic service. Will definitely be visiting again.

Friendly service, great food, great location

Called for a drink after a visit to nearby Kirkham Priory. Couldn’t sit outside due to odd showers of rain. The inside of the pub felt very tired and shabby. Staff were friendly and polite. I really fancied a Pimms but unfortunately they had run out the day before!! Very disappointing!! So I changed to a Bacardi and coke. Whilst it was well presented with ice and lime, it must have been the smallest I have ever had in a pub. The place could have done with a good clean, the carpets were not the cleanest.

Excellent meal at a lovely pub. The staff were great. Will do it again.

Lovely Sunday dinner brownies were the best I've ever had

Booked ahead for Sunday lunch before we headed back home after a long weekend. It was the first time we had taken our nutty chocolate Labrador in a pub while we ate so were a bit apprehensive but they seated us in a corner of the conservatory and he was fine . The staff especially Jenny were lovely with him and we had a lovely meal and the best beef we’ve ever had I think. Would definitely recommend especially if you have a dog .

The Stone Trough is such a friendly place, especially for dogs - he was served water before we got our drinks…! We all (not the dog) had roast beef Sunday lunch which was excellent. Advertised as slow cooked and the meat was tender and tasty, very satisfying compared to some places I have been to recently. Potatoes and gravy were also top stuff, though the Yorkies were a bit flat. For desserts, which are generous, sticky toffee pudding was the standout choice, and the Eton Mess was original with basil and black pepper - it worked very well with the usual ingredients. Other menu items looked interesting and worth another visit. We were served by Bee who was most attentive and professional at all times. This one is going into my diary.

Sunday lunch was delicious - roast beef was very tender, great roast potatoes and vegetables with wonderful flavouring. One of the best roast dinners. Great service and dog friendly - what a find! Lovely views too!

Lovely friendly staff and excellent food.

Found the prices expensive coffees £4 each serves in a smallish/average cup. Steak pie with three types of beef (ox tail, beef cheek, bone marrow) looked good, but found there wasn’t much meat in the pie, so was a bit disappointed as it cost £20....

Extremely delicious ploughman's lunch- I might find myself daydreaming about it being honest.....I'm not kidding, generous slices of perfectly cooked cold beef, excellent piccalilli, warmed ciabatta, fantastic pork pies, two types of high quality cheese-apples, celery and more! We ordered a side of the biggest crunchiest onion rings - delicious. This was great and there was loads of it and it was only £34 for both of us including drinks! Highly recommend.

Set on a hillside between Kirkham Abbey and Westow the panoramic view over the Derwent valley is a great setting to enjoy a leisurely drink and meal. In recent times a conservatory has been added so this can be done in all weathers. Our rambling...

Brilliant food reasonably priced, great service and a great view to go with it.

Superb, out of the way country pub. The lunchtime food was outstanding. Highly recommend a visit. Steve Friday 14.7.23

Called in for some lunch great place very welcoming dogs allowed as we had a dog with us given his own dog bowl ! Food was fab we will be back

Nice little pub . Lovely food made on the premises. We went and it was really quiet. Lovely views too.

Average food !therefore making it expensive.. stunning views from the glass fronted extension . Not sure if it was the acoustics due to the false roof but a large party of people enjoying themselves and rightly so were literally so loud we could hardly hear...

Lovely lunch definitely recommend 👌

Lovely place to eat and drink, sat outside and watched the wild life

Having read the advertisement sign on the A64 for the stone trough inn open 7 days for food..we detoured to give it a go. Not booked so no availability..no tables available yet plenty were empty. Not impressed and won’t be returning.

A nice country pub to stop at mid walk

Stopped there for a quick pint on a loooong hike. The place is really lovely and has cute window views on the Abbey. We were there after lunch so we didn't have any food, but I must say the orders we saw coming looked delicious.

Just had an absolutely dreamy Sunday lunch. Sat in the orangery in the sunshine and breeze and was in heaven for an hour or two. Delicious roast beef and sides (fabulous cauliflower cheese!) and amazing desserts, we tried them all between the whole of our group. We left very happy indeed. Thank you.

Lovely pub,nice people.Very expensive menu for a "pub" one of our group ordered the "burger bomb"they couldn't eat it as centre was raw,basically a greasy pile of meat because cheese in the centre went through it all.It was wrapped in jelly like cooked bacon that...

Marvellous views in a rather inert conservatory with tinny background music playing like a kazoo. The waitress didn't know how to read the table and kept interrupting to see if everything was OK. There was no wine list and unbelievably no champagne only prosseco she...

I had my wedding here at the end of May and couldn’t have been happier with the service, food and surroundings. Matt and his team went above and beyond to ensure we had a relaxing and enjoyable day. They were so helpful with setting up decorations and even blacking out a room for our baby to nap in. They were super friendly, made us feel completely at ease and even our guests were remarking how wonderful they all were. We had booked the venue completely blind, having never set foot in the pub, and I’m so glad we did. The food was really exceptional. I’m vegetarian, so it was important they got that side of things right too. You could tell they put thought into the flavour combinations as well as textures. I hear the meat and fish courses were also delicious (the Yorkshire puddings looked next level) and they had generous portion sizes. They were happy to accommodate our request for charcuterie in the evening - to go with our rounds of cheese ‘cake’ - and offered a wine tasting so we could choose wines they don’t usually stock at the pub. They allowed us to bring our decorations the day before (which they stored in their cellar and staff room) and had everything packed up and ready to go the day after. They really took the stress out of the day. The setting is also so beautiful and they really make the most of it with the conservatory. If it had been sunny, we could have had the roof open and windows down, but with the temperamental UK weather I was glad to have the option of having it all closed whilst still being able to see the countryside. The conservatory itself is licensed, so we had the ceremony in there and then Matt and his team turned it around for the reception whilst we had drinks in the main part of the pub (also extremely charming). Even based on the service alone, it was such value for money and some of our guests were even saying they hope to have an event there in the future.

Enjoyed a lovely lunch here sitting outside and taking in the view. Beautiful place. Good service and decent value. Fresh, home cooked food. Highly recommended.
