Walk out on Christmas day and found this delightful pub open. Serving draught Guiness and cider we were very happy especially as we were offered a delicious mince pie to accompany them. The place is beautifully done up, and they were serving Xmas lunch. The menu looked good so another day we'll book for food.

Interesting place. Water feature as soon as you're in the door and some tables have swing seats. Unusual but good looking selection of food on the menu that we didn't get to try, but customers coming out on our way in commented on how great their food was.

Owing to our train being cancelled and being faced with a long wait on a very cold platform we sort refuge at The Vale York. We received a very warm welcome from the Landlord and Lady. We were served well with hot drinks and mince pies in a warm relaxed environment. Here we could rearrange our onward travel arrangements. Thank you all for your kindness and hospitality.

A dated and tired interior and a menu that was trying to be something it's not, with underwhelming food. The attempt to garnish my fish and chips as if it were on MasterChef led to cold mushy peas dotted with spots of tartar sauce and micro herbs. Sad, since the fish was actually really good apart from the flavour of old oil on the batter.

Warm welcome. Place was empty. Pictures of food, menu and interior are incorrect for what it is now. Absolute rip off for you get. Beef ravioli from the appetiser was described as being served in a small bowl which was fine, until it came…5 pockets of pasta and a load of tomato sauce in a tiny bowl costing £11.95 😱!!! Absolute daylight robbery. I could’ve bought the ingredients and made it all at home cheaper for what I paid tonight. Dreadful. Had to ask for the bill as staff were talking then one left and the other playing on her phone. Won’t be returning! Would definitely suggest trying other places before coming here. At least you’ll get value for money and not ripped off.

We bobbed in today for lunch. It wasn’t busy as there were quite a few empty tables and most customers were drinkers. Our drinks order arrived promptly and we ordered our lunch and this is where the disaster started. After over 60 minutes of waiting and 2 polite complaints our three fish and chips were served. It took another ten minutes for the fourth meal to arrive but they got the order wrong and served a steak pie instead of a steak burger. The meal was returned to the kitchen and after another 20 minutes the steak burger arrived. However it was not as described on the menu as it was smothered in cheese. In addition my wife could not finish her fish as it was partially under cooked too. The waitress offered to wipe off the cheese from the burger but this was the final straw following a catalogue of mistakes and delays. To be fair to the waitress she recognised how bad the experience had been and apologised and offered to wipe the bill. We got up and left. On a positive note the pub was nicely decorated, clean and tidy. In summary, best to avoid ordering food until they resolve the catering side of the business.

Called in on the afternoon of the 14th October, landlady was very welcoming and friendly. Went back on the 15th for a drink and a meal and was greeted by (Shelly) unfriendly and very unwelcoming to non locals. Was considering leaving but new staff started who were alot friendlier so we stayed. Food was lovely. Well worth the money. Highly recommended. Big thank you to the young waiter (Ben) who was very friendly and attentive, a credit to the establishment.

Lovely pub, nice decor. The staff were great and so very helpful. This pub has been the most covid safe business that I have visited. Tables spread out, laptop track and trace system, staff not touching drinks and staff constantly using sanitizer every time they passed the sanitizer stations. Unfortunately a lot of items had sold out which I wanted to order but the fact it was so covid-safe made me get over that. Reasonable prices on drinks and food (2 courses for £12).

Highly recommend this dog friendly pub. Covid 19 rules make the life for staff much more difficult. The girls working tonight were working their socks off. They were friendly and couldn’t have worked any harder. Only had drinks tonight so can’t comment on the food. But the staff were such a credit to the pub. Thank you for your hard work.

Touring the Thirsk area and in search of dog friendly accommodation. Booking.com gave a good list of dog friendly bed and breakfast places but it turned out they were just for assitance dogs, so it was a lenghtly task to find a bed and breakfast place. Eventually came across the Vale of York Pub with accommodation in an adjoining annex. No extra charge for dogs and they are also welcomed into the dining room On arrival at around 4pm, we were greeted by our host at the door and all social distancing was respected. Our small dog was also greeted by her name and presented with a very inviting dog biscuit. Parking was available at the from of the pub, near our room. We had room no 4 which had an enormous bed (two singles linked together, so Queen size). Bedding lovely and clean and duvet and 2 pillows each, were also very comfotable. Decor very plain and TV on the wall quite small. Bathroom was fine and the shower was really good. Top quality towels were provided and also shampoo/conditioner/shower gel in the bathrom. I read a review that said it was noisey with road and train noise, but we did not hear anything. I would suggest that there be a small pull down blackout blind on the glass of the front door though. Our dog accompanied us whilst we had dinner and again our dog was allowed into breakfast with us - she was quite happy to sit under the table on the floor at each mealtime. It is obvious that the staff and owners are all dog lovers and made a fuss over our her. Dinner was amazing. Not alot of choice on the menu but we opted for fish and chips with mushy peas, priced almost £9.95. We were not disappointed at all and we can honestly say that the fish was the tastiest piece of cod we have ever had. It was enourmous! Well done to the chef as it must have taken alot of time to fillet and cook it. Half way through our meal we realised that this pub took part in the new 'Eat In & Help Out' Scheme, so our meal actually cost us just under £5.50 each. We had a very comfortable night's sleep and for £65 for the two of us and our dog for bed and breakfast, it cannot be faulted. Breakfast next morning was a full English and it was very good and served with warm pancakes and a large amount of toast. Cereals and fruit juice also available as well as tea and coffee on a help yourself basis. The pub managers were extremely pleasant and friendly, as were all the bar and waiting staff. We shall certainly be recommending this bed and breakfast and look forward to returning again in the near future.

We were having a big family gathering for my mother's 89th birthday. We had booked the table a few weeks in advance and when I checked the menu online there was no mention of vegan options so I let the restaurant know that out of the 9 of us there would be 4 vegans in the party. When we arrived we were made most welcome and when we were ready to order the chef came out and explained that he had made 4 vegan specials for us! The whole meal was wonderful.....brilliant service, fantastic value and my mother said it was her best birthday ever. I would like to thank all the staff for being so accommodating and would thoroughly recommend the Vale of York for any type of family gathering.

We needed somewhere to stay in Thirsk for a couple of nights, this fitted the requirements. First impressions not good, the pub was loud and understaffed, the room very basic. This was going to be an appalling review... The room seemed unclean, uncared for, neglected. We stayed for a couple of nights, the noise of traffic and trains seemed intrusive, and the breakfast was pretty poor. Decent bacon, decent egg, decent toast. But... Lousy sausage, unpleasant beans.DESPITE all of that, to be fair, it was cheap, easily accesed, had reasonable parking, so I probably got what I paid for.Please, management, look at the pictures and ask yourself if they are really something that you consider acceptable? Better cleaning and just a bit of maintenance would make a world of difference. Water from a leaking toilet on the floor, mould in the shower, dirty marks on the walls at the bed head, a missing tile.Is this a bad review? No. Just don't expect too much for your money and you won't be disappointed. I slept well, did what we came to do. This was not a luxury break, not a romantic break, we just needed somewhere to sleep. And we got it.

Visited this place recently and probably will avoid it in the future. The food in here is very good for the price - and the prices are also very good. Booze is cheaper than most other places and its newly decorated etc. However, I could not hear me mates conversation due to the TV's volume. There are two at opposite ends of the pub and both always have football on so that's what you are faced with. There were EIGHT DOGS in the place and some of them were being played with by their owners. I nearly messed my pants when a young but huge Alsatian dived up at me from behind the bar access. A member of the staff grabbed it and shoved it through a door. I personally have no objection to the odd dog sitting quietly by the owners feet but I get really annoyed when it feels like I have got into the Kennel Club bar. How people can eat meals at the tables under such circumstances beats me. I shall not go again.

I visit this place fairly frequently and in the recent past have had no issues however that has changed significantly. I wandered in on Sunday 22 September about 5pm and was greeted with something I have rarely ever witnessed. There were FIVE dogs in the bar and FOUR were significantly large. At least my knee height. Every dog started barking so it sounded like the Battersea Dogs Home and three of the hounds although on a lead looked as if they could carry me on their backs to town. The noise was awful on top of high volume football on one of the TV's. The noise was awful and definitely a concern for those who had their children eating at a table. I have never been in such a complete disaster of management in my entire life except in India!!This was a definite Health and Safety issue and should be reported. I will notify the company that owns it. I shall not return and advise anyone who does not like the stink of wet howling dogs to avoid it as well.

Returned from Vale of York the other day and have to say we will not be heading back! New Landlady was lovely when booking but when an elderly friend who was queuing at the bar at 10.55pm and at 11.01pm the bar staff refused to serve him the land lady came down and went crazy, swearing, shouting and basically saying she doesn’t need our trade! She then told the elderly friend he was out in the morning! Not sure if she had been drinking but we will not be returning! Been going here for 20 years and never had a problem until change of ownership!

We are visiting the area and were directed here for decent meal. The place has aparently just been refurbished, I have no idea what it looked like before but it is now very light and airy. There was a friendly welcome given to myself and 2 kids. The food was really decent. The kids finished their meals which in most places are excessively huge for no good reason, these were actually kid sized! And at £4.50 for a main, pudding and drink it's fab. I had ham, egg and chips and a chocolate fudge cake. Just over £20 for the 3 of us including the drinks. We will definitely be back!

We recently moved into the area and have been in here a few times. Having seen some negative reviews since the management has changed I felt i should leave one. The pub is warm and inviting and the new manager, bar staff and locals at the bar are all friendly and welcoming. The decor is a bit dated but apparently it is getting a refurb and anyway I'm sick of these homogenous family pubs that are springing up everywhere and all look the same and have no atmosphere. This is a lovely traditional pub.

I have visited this place a few times over the years and always rated it as better then average but that might have to change. The owners have changed Managers [rumour has it that the previous one quite because the owners decided to reduce his income] well its really gone downhill now, no internet access, no staff, half the locals not visiting and the outside lights late in being put on, I visited earlier this week and was surprised to find only three customers and a new landlady swearing her mouth off. Definitely not from North Yorkshire. Think I will give this place a miss in future.

We stayed one night and that was more than enough. Room very poor. Strong smell of smoke. Shower unacceptable. Did not enjoy stay.

The hotel location was perfect for us as it was a very short walk from Thirsk station. We stayed for two nights and our small room was perfectly comfortable, especially the beds which is the most important thing!

We enjoyed really delicious pensioners lunches at this pub on a Saturday. It was very quiet and we were the only people in the restaurant area. The were no menus available but the helpful waitress had a list of dishes included in the offer (main course and desert or coffee/tea). The venison stew is highly recommended if it is available.

I will get to the point, pub ok, breakfast good, room grim. No frills at all, dirty and no toiletries, no mattress protectors yuk! I could not even sleep in the bed. Some may say you get what you pay for but there is no price on cleanliness. Only ok for one night at a push.

Came in for dinner today and we were booked in for 1pm. Someone was sat at our assigned table but that didn’t bother us as there wasn’t a great deal of people in. The first impression of the staff was rude and inconsiderate. As she said ‘there’s someone sat on your table so your gonna have to sit somewhere else’ it was the tone of voice that she uses with us. We were then looking for the table as we have never been before and another women rudely said ‘it’s there’ so we sat down and then got back up for the food, there was much option on the veg and the roasties were black. I will definitely not be going back, definitely over priced.

On arrival the gentleman behind the bar served us drinks and told we could go and sit down, as we walked into the other room we were very rudely asked by a lady if we had booked when we answered yes and were told to sit down her reply was ‘no, someone is still sat at your table you will need to wait’ which we were confused about as it was very quiet at the times and more tables then the number of bookings they had on the board. Poor choice of vegetables and food was warm but not hot. Not once were we asked how our meal was, just felt like we were being watched. Never had an experience like this and will not be returning.

We've been to the Sunday Carvery a couple of times but yesterday was just awful. They have three sittings, 12pm, 1pm and 2pm. The five of us were booked in for the 1pm and finally sat down to eat at 1.30pm. Despite my Dad having to stand [he's 73 and has Parkinson's], not once were we offered a seat and when I asked if we could just sit and eat at the empty table [for about 8] in the bar I was told "not really, can you just wait another couple of minutes". We were not the only ones waiting for half an hour, the people that were sat where we were seated [eventually] were celebrating a birthday and perhaps didn't realise they were supposed to eat and be out in an hour.

Eight family members chose to meet at the Vale of York for the Sunday Carvery. The pub itself is a traditional style with comfortable seating and a bar offering a varied choice of drinks. The restaurant is situated on the left hand side as you enter the bar and at the entrance was a board with the names of larger groups booked for the lunch with the allocated table numbers.
