The Stone Trough Inn in Ryedale

We visited mid week for an evening meal, we received a lovely warm welcome from the staff and shown to our table straightaway. Service was excellent and the food was amazing, especially the Baileys Bread and Butter pudding with vanilla custard! The food is well priced for the quality, we definitely need to visit again before we go home.

Superb Sunday lunch in front of gorgeous view. Tenderest beef I have ever had. Very generous helpings

Outstanding Sunday lunch, service fantastic and the staff very accommodating as we just called in

Great pub, lovely Sunday dinner. Last year the food was better than now..maybe it was busier, but the food was still good just didn't seem as good as the last time we visited.

Another visit with the Yorkshire Driving Club for a pint or tipple of choice whilst the horses & ponies cool off and get their breath back. Can't comment upon the food, because I wasn't there to eat, however, the menu looked good and many patrons were there to dine.

Saw this advertised on the website as Tuesday Pie Day. Two pies for £20. Went with friends and the pies were delicious. The only problem was that the pie offer has not been available apparently for ages, so the website should have been updated long ago. That said the view from the dining room was stunning.

Great country pub with good food and even better staff! We will be calling after our shoot days again throughout the winter to enjoy a pint by the fire!

Nice place. Unfortunately the waiting staff ruined the experience for us. It took for a lady (who clearly worked there but was on her day off with her dog) sat having her dinner to tell the staff that we were finished after waiting almost ten minutes for our starters to be cleared. (By pointing at us) And then again with our mains. They were all far too involved with chatting at the bar and getting spoons to share a dessert plate with each other, they were not attentive at all, this is the reason I removed your service charge which usually, I am very generous with. To add to this, whilst I was sat eating my starter, I received a call from a staff member to ask why I was late for my booking …. I was 25minutes early and he had not recognised we were there. The food - starter was lovely, chicken pate was very nice.

Excellent service, dogs welcome in the bar area, food is amazing.

Lovely pub! Exquisite food, highly recommend the steak and marrow bone pie! 😋 and the staff are lovely and friendly too. We used the camper/caravan app, which allows you use their carpark/facilities for free providing you buy a meal. Be warned, the car park is on a slope so if you're sleeping overnight making sure you have the blocks under your tyres to make it level. It's worth staying for the beautiful views and there is ancient priory ruins 5 mins walk down the road that has a cafe x

Excellent food and good service

Had a very pleasant drink indoors as the weather was a little chilly then moved to teh conservatory area for food. Very pleasant.

Very dog friendly, would highly recommend. The food delicious .

A great countryside pub, serving three cask ales from Yorkshire breweries. Friendly, chatty staff and very good food. I had the ploughman's lunch which was excellent. Well worth a visit if you're passing close to Kirkham Abbey.

Stopped for some drinks on our way home and where greated by friendly staff and a varied choice of drinks. We sat outside to enjoy the rays of sunshine streaming onto their garden seats. We had a peak at their food menu and it all looked so delicious. When we have more time, will certainly stop for a heart warming meal.

We had booked a table but on arrival found the restaurant and bar to be very busy and (possibly) understaffed. The waiting service was under a lot of pressure getting everyone served in a timely manner and once seated, our order took just over an hour and a half to arrive. Nonetheless, the food was excellent as was the location and general ambience. Our waitress was both delightful in her interactions with us and very apologetic about the delay. Our service charge was waived in recognition of the problems ( we were pleased to tip anyway), and we resolved to return on a (we hope) quieter week day. A lovely place for lunch.

Not as I remember it.Not been for a few years(and being coming here on & off since it 1st opened)still a great location,lovely atmosphere,let down by very poor portion & price of food was very dissapointed.

Attentive staff, but flys there are a menace,the menu is far too small on choice, overpriced mediocre food imo use to be loads better years ago unfortunately and tipsy noisy locals propping the bar up lowers the tone of the beautiful place, pity.

A lovely meal eaten outside. Great views over the surrounding countryside.

Popped in here for a quick lunch while travelling. Beef sandwich was great as was the pie but it’s a lite pie so pretty small - though it was very tasty.

Food good, disgusted with 10% service charge added without any notification

What a view! The outside space is glorious and the friendly service a treat! Thank you

Conservatory was perfect in the sun, amazing food and staff were amazing too 👍

Have visited here previously and never disappointed but did think the standard of food had gone down a little , we had Sunday lunch and was disappointed of only beef or chicken on the menu apart from a vegetarian option, it was nicely cooked and hot and vegetable selection good.The desert was supposed to be a lemon and fruit pavlova but was basically a meringue nest with frozen summer fruits and a drizzle of lemon sauce and cream not like the previous deserts we have had before . My main criticism was very poor disabled facilities, sloping carpark covered in gravel with no designated parking area for disabled near entrance.Only toilet facilities were up 4 steps which made it impossible for my 91 year old mother unable to access the facilties I notice previous complaints about disabled access poor on reviews but clearly nothing has been addressed. Really need to look at these issues before I would choose to recommend or go back.

Service was great, friendly and attentive staff. Car park was questionable as all on a hill and stoney so not the easiest to manoeuvre. The rest of my party had sunday lunch menu’s beef or chicken, and i had the veggie wellington. The wellington, in comparison to the amount of beef/ chicken the others got was a very small portion for the same set menu price, maybe halved of a full one and not particularly full of its filling. Room that we dined in was quite small, dark and cramped. Also not very easy to manoeuvre for the elderly or disabled inside or walking to and from car in the car park.

Best Sunday lunch ever! The staff were amazing especially Charlotte! Highly recommend food and great atmosphere:)

Lovely steak and ale pie on a dull weekday. Very good service . Thank you

Great scenery Basic food, tiny menu and way overpriced for what it is. Food overcooked and service poor. Okay for a drink if you don't mind waiting for a very long time. Massive hole in ceiling in gents toilet, with the amount your charging, one would presume you could afford to fix it? Stay clear of this place, absolute rip off merchants!

The food was excellent, service was friendly and helpful, the ploughman's came with pink beef which neither of us like. However they very kindly took it away, and cooked it until it was "normal". The staff were all very chatty and it was a pleasure to be there.

We loved the range of choice at the Stone Trough, the glorious picturesque views and the staff were so attentive. We will be back!

What more can I say, amazing service and great food. We will be returning!

I have been coming here on and off for years, post covid it went a bit away from the traditional pub it used to be. However, the new owners are spot on and returned it to what it once was. The food is fantastic, the service is 1st class and the pub and surroundings are just perfect. 👌🏼

Lovely country pub with covered extension on the side for diners. Has plenty of outside tables too. Overlooking the valley and with a skyline of pine trees Lovely surroundings. Just a stones throw from Kirkham Abbey. Food plentiful and tasty, not too expensive. We had Sunday lunch, tender meat and Lovely veg. Dessert was heavenly. Large car park, dog friendly and room for kids to play. Very good service, you felt looked after. Will call again

I can't rate the food as we only had a drink there, but the atmosphere was lovely and oaks of parking places

Beautiful place to stop for lunch, staff were very friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend and aim to visit again even though it's nowhere near home.

We had amazing asparagus and wild garlic soup and lovely fish and chips. Friendly staff, wonderful view.

I had the Chicken and Bacon pie and it was very comforting and delicious. The service and ambience is on point. I would definitely come here again.

Really as good as it gets proper people looking after you, and the food was great what more can you ask for 👍👍

Not as good as it was years ago

Beautiful surroundings. Hidden gem

Only stopped for a cuppa, the pub is beautiful, old and quaint. Saw so meals passing by and the looked delicious 😋

Good portions of food.... in some cases. Very limited options on the Sunday lunch menu, ordered the beef lunch and it came with a fair portion of meat and yorkshire pudding, but very little on behalf of the other components of the meal. The only vegetable i was provided with was less than half a carrot and 2 pieces of roast potato. Thankfully we ordered a starter of cauliflower cheese (which was delicious). For pudding we got the sticky toffee pudding, which was a good portion and one of the best desserts I have ever ordered in a restaurant, highly recommend it. Staff were a bit disorganised but friendly, atmosphere was lovely, very nice decoration.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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!

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

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.

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!

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

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

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

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

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.
