The Wentworth Arms in Ryedale

Great pub, decent accommodation, great breakfast

Did not feel welcome at all. Very cold reception from bar staff. Enquired about a meal, but staff coldly offered 2 tables 1 at the bar or 1 by the door, not interested at all. Definitely will not visit again. It's a shame because from the outside, it looks beautiful and welcoming.

Fabulous Sunday roast. We were a group of 40+ brilliant service, quick and friendly. Wpuld highly recommend

We had the pleasure of having their fantastic buffet lunch following my sons christening, which everyone thoroughly enjoyed and was beautifully presented! The cabin bar and function room was perfect for what we needed and the service was fantastic - highly recommend! So friendly and accommodating - thank you 😊

The Wentworth arms was a lovely welcoming place. We stayed for one night with my wife and I in a double room, my two daughters in another double room and , as we call her our adopted daughter in another room. From the word go, the staff were welcoming and very friendly. My best opinion. Value for money fantastic, food, fantastic, rooms are really clean . Our ensuite bathroom was clean, slight gripe and only one was the shower ceiling Could do with attention. But I am only saying that to help this business. The breakfast staff were friendly and a nice freshly cooked meal with orange juice, tea,coffee,cereals . If you want posh, this is not for you. But if you want a proper value for money place to stay, with clean rooms , it really is for you. Also you have a great community pub, and bar meals were reasonably priced. Thank you all the staff. We will be back. Phil, Julie ,Jade,Laura, and not forgetting Emily

Stopped for Friday lunch quite by chance and enjoyed a lovely meal. I had the steak pie, my partner the chicken burger. Both were real food, absolutely lively and good portions. The veg were cooked to perfection and the chicken burger was a huge whole breast in crumb. Very tasty, lovely staff and welcoming atmosphere.

Good food and beer in a lovely old pub

I stayed for 2 nights my room was lovely and very warm x staff are very welcoming and the food is amazing well worth a visit

Visited for a family get together just after Christmas. Service was great and the staff were really friendly. Food was delicious, great value for money and generous portions. Everyone had a lovely time :)

A work Christmas party. Lovely meal, attentive staff. Definitely recommend the Wentworth Arms, Old Malton.

A comfortable traditional village inn. Great value and a good place if you want somewhere unpretentious, relaxing and friendly. A proper local village inn, excellent beer and classic pub food, I enjoyed my pie. Recommended

Food was amazing. Friendly staff

Lovely "Just before Christmas lunch" it's been soooo good ! Every thing we had was cooked just perfect. Well done to every one. A really Happy Christmas to you all.

Lovely atmosphere and great food

First rate welcome, we hadn’t booked, suggest you do, but they went out of their way to accommodate us on a very busy Sunday. Great choice of menu options, it was hard to choose. We settled on prawn cocktail, creamy garlic mushrooms on sourdough and breaded Brie - massive portion. Followed this with gammon, eggs and chips declared as delicious, 2 roast beef dinners - massive portions, top quality beef, and veg, horseradish sauce was exceptional and great Yorkshire pudding. Service was friendly and attentive. We didn’t really need desserts but they were too good to miss out on. Lemon curd cheesecake, jam Roly poly and custard, winter fruits pavlova. We loved them all. Faultless meal with superb service, highly recommended.

This was booked for 1 night only for my Husband whilst working in the area and so pleased it was just for the 1 as he never got an hours sleep. He had a room with a street light right outside the window, no black out blind so that kept him awake. The single glazed window also didn't help as the main road is busy so can hear everything that goes past. The staff were nice, evening meal was good but in with the price is breakfast which he couldn't have as its 8am when it's served (no good for workers whom start at 7.30am) therefore not getting money worth Will he stay again ABSOLUTELY NOT

The Staff at this public house were so friendly and helpful. The bedroom 6 was disgusting noisy and as for the mattress I would not let my dog sleep on it.Cracks in the ceiling ,rough putty around the windows ,u painted, Old curtain tracking with no curtains on it .,smell from the kitchen.One good thing came out of this the breakfast was very nice as was the evening meal .Would I stop here again ??????????????.??. A Big fat Nooooooooo. I would drive past very fast

Brilliant pub! We had a meal here lastnight and it was amazing! I had the steak and tetley pie which was delicious and my partner had a 10oz sirloin which was cooked perfectly. The staff are friendly and attentive. They also have a really good clientele that go in.

What an amazing stay. We were firstly greeted with a warm welcome and taken to our room. The room itself was spacious and very comfortable. We booked a table for dinner and all I can say is it was Amazing 👏. I had garlic chicken and I have never tasted chicken so moist! The breakfast this morning was also delicious. If we are ever in the area again we will definitely be back! Well done to all of the staff and owners. Xxx

We had starters of the Black pudding and bacon salad and garlic prawns, both good. Mains were lovely and we shared a dessert, the apple crumble delicious. All home made and v nice, thank you. Relaxed pub environment

We had our wedding reception there, it was absolutely amazing. We wanted a small venue for 21 guests at the meal and for friends and family later, it was just perfect. Wonderful from start to finish. The attention to detail, food, and the staff we couldn’t have wished for anything more it was wonderful. Thank you so much Steve, Elaine and Georgia 😁

Lovely,quaint pub and accommodation. Staff all very friendly and everything you need in the room.Had roast dinner on Sunday which was very generous and breakfast was excellent. Extremely good value for money. Lots to do in surrounding area so glad we booked for 2 nights. Would definitely stay again

Just got back from 2 night stay, very pleased we stayed, very friendly staff, hotel room 4 was clean comfortable and quiet, we are in the restaurant one evening, excellent steak. Great service, nice comfortable bar, couple of very good hand pulled real ales on. Breakfast was very nice....cooked to order, served to your table by a lovely smiling lady. Our only minor gripe was the shower, the flow was extremely slow, but we managed and looking at the stay as a whole....well done, definitely worth another stay..

What a fantastic meal. All cooked to perfection, from the lamb chops to the steaks. Vegetables perfect. The sweets to die for. Will be back.

18 of us ate here last night and every one of us cleared pur plates. Excellent well kept real ale, steak pie was absolutely delicious as was the cheese & biscuits and home made sticky toffee pudding. Staff were friendly, attentive and provided excellent service.

I still enjoy a old fashioned pub serving good food and this fits the bill nicely also well located for tourists visit York moors east coast Whitby Scarborough and York city

Stayed over night. Rooms a bit basic but everything you need is there. Food however is on another level. Delicious and all homemade. Comes highly recommended and the bar had my favourite fever tree tonics. Can't go wrong.

Highly recommended, Lovely pub with food available. Great service reasonably priced The food was nice.

The soup was ok I am told, but lacked seasoning. My garlic mushrooms were lovely though. Nice Sunday lunch, yorkshire pud and stuffing were on the point of burnt, but not really a problem. Plenty of meat and vegetables, served hot and without too much delay. Nothing special sadly, just another roast dinner.I will say that the staff were very friendly and accommodating.

Great service, friendly Landlady, great portions and all food was homemade... we will definitely visit again. Thank you.

We had a delicious meal here as always. I had the chilli which was very tasty with a little kick of chilli. I usually have the pie, which are always exceptional. Elaine is fantastic as front of house. Definitely worth a visit

Me and my wife stayed the night as we conducted a most haunted experience ast Eden camp. Excellent hotel nice and clean with friendly staff. Food was phenomenal will stay again

Great , friendly and welcoming . We called in one evening to a warm welcome and excellent food . Returned the following evening

We met visiting family here for an evening meal and it was delightful. The staff were very friendly and nothing was too much bother for my children. The food was fab and we all enjoyed our meals. We will return again soon!

We hadn’t booked but they found us a table for lunch. There was a wide choice available on the lunch menu. The portions were very generous. There were many other diners probably due to Eat out to Help out. The service was friendly helpful and efficient. My ploughman’s was tasty with lots of elements.

A very nice looking pub with friendly staff. We only stopped for a drink so cant comment on the food, but the beer was good 👍 Would happily visit again.

Called in for lunch Sat.All meals excellent especially the fish and chips,washed down by a good pint of Copper Dragon.Friendly service throughout the day,were going to move on elsewhere after eating but could not be bothered as we were enjoying every thing there.

Have tried several times to make contact but no reply either through their website or their facebook page.Booked table for 9 of my family 6 adults and 3 children under 12.Order taken for food,1 hour later still waiting.Asked why the delay was told very busy due to the £10 off scheme.At no point during the 1 hour wait were we asked if everything was ok.The food was served and one of our tables had no cutlery.After asking another waitress for the cutlery it duly arrived 6 mins later.By this time my Haddock and chips were getting cold so i expressed my concern and asked for the manager.This is where it all went downhill!The manager (?) came and said they had already apologised and what did i want,before i could reply she said do you want me to give you half of your money back when you are getting it half price anyway!I replied saying no but some better communication would have helped instead of just leaving us for 1 hour and if you were having problems with demand why take the booking?.Her reply,'I wasnt in and had i have been wouldnt have taken your booking!.(is there a training issue for staff here?).My reply was well its not my problem i just want food and service for my booking.This was now becoming like a scene from 'Fawlty Towers!' when the manager said 'i have apologised,turned around and walked away sticking her tongue out!!.(this was reported to me by other customers sat nearby.The whole episode was witnessed by 8 other people who were all flabergasted at what they had witnessed.At this point we decided to pay up in full and leave as their was no point in trying to compromise.As i said at the begining i have tried to contact The Wentworth Arms through their website and facebook pages but three days later no reply!My family attend this area on a regular basis and yes you are right we will never attend here again.Awful customer service 'Wentworth Arms' SHAME ON YOU!.

Busy Monday night due to the half price deal but despite waiting a little longer than normal (but let’s face it post lockdown we should all be use to that by now!) the food was delicious, staff were friendly despite being under pressure and will most definitely be back!

We were just driving through the village and thought ,, we would give it a try. Staff friendly and efficient. Sunday roasts were fabulous, well worth a visit.

Just called for lunch. First meal out since lockdown. Highly recommend and we will definitely call again. Excellent food - chilli con carni with homemade nachos. Husband had fish and chips. Very friendly staff and landlady. All Covid procedures followed and very clean. Look forward to another visit. Well done and best wishes in trying times

Staying locally (Doodale cottage) and just had Sunday lunch at Wentworth Arms. The full menu was available and neither of us had the roast. The Brie starter was excellent and my homemade burger was delicious. I chose cheese and jalapeños as my two toppings and was not disappointed. My husband enjoyed his homemade steak and Tetley’s pie and mash. He also enjoyed the vegetables and gravy. Sadly neither of us had room left for pudding!! Great food, fantastic value and wonderfully welcoming.

Normally have fish and chips but decided to try the new homemade pies I opted for the steak and ale pie with chips and a selection of vegetables, I’m pleased to say I made the right choice because the pie was divine, full of meat and very tasty. Would highly recommend.

Stayed at The Wentworth Arms last week. Comfortable and warm room with all that you need. TV, tea and coffee, hot shower and comfy bed. The Manager and her Staff were all polite and friendly. The Pub had a warm atmosphere to it. The food was excellent (Steak and Ale Pie and warm chocolate fudge cake was delicious. Sadly for me, there was no New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc but other alternatives and a well stocked bar. The prices were excellent and I had a great nights sleep and a full cooked breakfast in the morning (thanks Chef) which set me up for a long drive South. I would visit again and recommend it.

Passing through the village and called in on the off chance to see if we could get Sunday Lunch. Found we were in luck even though they were very busy. Decided on the Christmas roast which didn't disappoint. And after the very generous helping of Chrismas pudding - and an excellent pint - we carried on our way happy and very well fed. Good food and good friendly service.

Called in on the off chance on a busy Friday evening. Were told that there would be a table available shortly. Within five minutes we were seated! The menu was excellent with a good selection however as it was 'Fish and Chip Friday' we had to go for that. The Fish and Scampi were superb, beautiful chips and good sized portions. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff who went out of their way make the visit pleasurable.For anyone travelling south from the North Yorkshire Moors, the Wentworth Arms is only two minutes from the A64 so well worth pulling off to! We have recommended this establishment to many friends and will return ourselves!

14 friends went for a Christmas meal last week. The food was excellent totally home cooked and enjoyed by everyone. The staff had set aside a room especially for us so we could vet together and chat. There was music and it was a really nice atmosphere. The service was great too. Thank you.

Beds were uncomfortable, room was cold, shower was dirty. Fried food smell filled the room at dinner time On the plus side the staff were lovely!

Dropped in for a beer & decided to try the Steak night offer. Very impressed! Oversize sirloin steak with usual trimmings, chips, onion rings, garden peas, etc. Very tasty & cooked a perfect medium. My wife had the veggie special-cauliflower cheese etc, also very impressive. Our friend had the fish & chips. A huge fish!. Desserts to die for! Seriously good sticky toffee pudding, comes with ice cream. Rhubarb crumble very tasty.

We last visited here over 32yrs ago and wanted to visit again the meals were excellent and large portions to much for all of our appetites so we took 1/2 a bbq chicken and sweetcorn pizza home with us the staff were quite busy and took a little time to bring the bill but we could have paid at the bar to be fair i would recommend this pub to visitors to this area for a good quality meal

Just popped in by chance in the way back home. Have to say the food was fabulous. Home cooked and fresh, very tasty and good value for money. Hats off to the chef.. Perfect!

We had an overnight, stop at the Wentworth, after visiting Eden Camp. The room is dated but clean, the bed was very comfortable, as this is an old pub the stairs are narrow & steep

The Wentworth Arms is also a B&B; this review is just for the restaurant, which serves typical pub fare at moderate prices. Chicken & tarragon pie was excellent, but let down slightly by new potatoes with very scabby skins (I'd have scrubbed them off first) and seasonal veg that was unexciting (carrots, cabbage and - I'm sure - frozen peas: nothing too seasonal for mid-June!). This was accompanied by home made beef gravy in a little jug - I'll be honest, I don't see the point of this being served with a chicken pie. But the beer was reasonably priced with three excellent draught ales on tap.

Booked a meal here very disappointed couldn’t get to the bar for locals that didn’t move starter late due to running out of ingredients main course steak not correctly cooked twice and the person in charge speaking to the locals about us complaining which she said she could do what she wanted very shabby customer service would have been better off going to McDonald’s did not pay for meal and will not be returning or recommending to anyone

What a great evening with lovely food, wine and hospitality-thank you. Excellent steak & scampi with good service on a very busy night.

room very basic window was rotten so you could hear all the traffic plus church chimes all night long on every hour shower tiny and water just trickled out breakfast poor choice no fruit or yoghurts

This is a really nice country pub and we stayed one night. The room we got was not exactly salubrious as it had 2 very small windows which we couldn't really see anything around and at the back of the premises. The towels and bedding were white and excellent quality. The room was probably what you could expect for a country pub. No problem

Called in on the off chance late on one lunchtime. Nice looking place on the edge of Old Malton a few yards off the A64.

We were on our way back this Sunday from the Dales when we came across this pub by the side of the B6428 in Staincross. First we didn’t have any high hopes as normally we won’t eat pub food but being desperately hungry we gave it a go. The ambience was great, it seemed that it must be favoured by local people as there were couples and families having their Sunday dinners and the place is also pet friendly. Our food came promptly, my wife had roast beef with Yorkshire pudding, mash potato and mixed vegetables and I went for a gammon steak with pineapple, fries and peas. Both dishes were presented nicely and equally tasty. We really enjoyed ourselves and would definitely return to try other things from the menu and would highly recommend it to others who come across this lovely establishment.

Called in on a Friday lunch after the place we'd aimed for was closed. Turned out to be a good thing. Really friendly welcome and service, Beef and horseradish sandwich and chips, plus fish and chips. Couldn't fault it. Nice glass of wine and a pint of San miguel, all for 23 quid. Would recommend.

An excellent pub restaurant with a good selection of food (except on this one occasion they had run out of what I was really looking forward to!!). Warm, friendly welcome on arrival. Reasonably priced but booking highly recommended. Facilities very clean.

We were staying at a local campsite called Wysehouse Farm, this pub was at the end of a walk along the side of an embankment. We visited late afternoon and had a few drinks before the food started about 5:30pm. The staff were friendly and they quickly cleared the table so we could sit down. The pub is dog friendly and they also had an idea high chair which was suitable for our toddler. I couldn't see any baby changing facilities but this is common I have found in old country pubs. The food reviews are quite a mixed bag within our group, I ordered a burger which came with onion rings and chips. I really enjoyed this meal it was presented really well, I would comment that it did have some pink meat inside which I couldn't eat but I would recommend this meal and have it again but I would ask for it to be well done. My family ordered steak and ale pie with traditional vegetables, they all didn't enjoy it. My other half normally loves all food but he left his pie. The gravy had a Chinese all spice flavouring and this was really strong and over powering. It should state on the menu that this pie is not a traditional steak and ale pie. The chips that were served were similar to a Chinese takeaway which went down a treat with me and my little girl but my family didn't enjoy them on their cooked dinners.

Visited here a few times for a drinks. The drinks are nice and a very reasonable price. Had an evening meal here last week which was well presented and very tasty.

Stayed 2 nights. Staff very friendly and food good but hotel falling to pieces. Bits of wood missing round door frames, shower base unfinished, window frames disintegrating, headboard fitted at a slant. Some cleanliness issues as well - decorative cushions on bed soiled, toast rack and salt & pepper pots never wiped, dining room windows need a good clean. Our bed was not made after the first night - duvet straightened but bottom sheet was not touched and neither were the pillows.

Called in for a snack on the way to Pickering. We were given a very warm welcome as we walked through the door. We ordered sandwiches which came on thick, fresh bread, thick slicesof meat with a side salad and "real" chips. There was also a very good selction of cask ales. Well; worth a try

Very pleasant staff and good bar atmosphere; however the restaurant decor and ambience is poor and felt damp. Starters lovely, main courses tasteless in our opinion. Just not to our liking.

We were passing through on our way to Whitby (motorbike run) and needed a food stop.

Beautiful food, excellent service, and they went one step further to accommodate extra people to my booking. You are spoilt for choice with the menu offering a great range of home cooked meals, thanks to Elaine and the girls for a lovely evening

Stayed overnight before a family trip to Flamingo Land. Great value - our family room (double and two singles) was clean, comfortable and absolutely did the job for us. Not spacious, but we didn't need it to be for an overnight stay. We ate downstairs in the bar for our evening meal, which was simply good pub food - very reasonably priced and generous helpings.

Sorry but those as our first time for food,and whilst the pub was lovely and welcoming the food was awful, I can't say anything better than that. My husband ordeeed an ok chicken pie with chips tasting like a Chinese takeaway chips!! My order was was a beef dinner. The beef was fatty and stringey,processed and warm. The roasties were shocking. Dark brown,not roasted but frozen new heated up or deep fried! Not cooked inside, two Yorkshire heavy puddings veg and congealed gravy, sorry but had say wouldn't pay for the beef dinner, the bar staff graciously accepted this but did she wished I had said earlier,which maybe i should have done but was hoping it would be ok, really sorry I had to do a bad review,but really as a chef how could you think that dish looked acceptable let alone be nice,,

Excellent fish and chips. They will even take the skin off the fish for you. Packed out. You really need to book but they will fit you in if possible. they are very obliging and Elaine is more than helpful.

My partner and I came in here at 8pm in the hopes of a late meal after an appointment. We were delighted to find they were still serving and were shown to a table. Orders were taken and food wasn't long before it arrived. There was a decent selection on the menu and I settled with Steak & Ale pie with chips and veg and my partner had the beef filled giant Yorkshire pud and chips.

Our host Ian recommended this pub for something to eat, he even called ahead and booked us a table. They do a Friday night special of fish and chips and it was just amazing, not only was the food great but also the people. We will certainly be returning in the very near future.

A friendly pub with comfortable surroundings. The Xmas menu is very comprehensive and the food is excellent and plenty of it.Service is good and the pub has a lovely ambience. Shall recommend my family to stay there in the spring.

I recently stayed with my partner at The Wentworth Arms in Old Malton. I was really pleased with our comfortable, spacious and well equipped en suite room. It was clean and tidy, the shower was good and a full English breakfast set us up nicely for the day.

On a ride over to Whitby from Donny with my friends we used Old Malton as our lunch break as the weather was turning grim...and we'd 75 miles in our legs!

The Wentworth Arms is already listed as a hotel, but we called into the attached pub/restaurant for lunch on the way to Whitby. The place was obviously very popular as we had to wait about 20 minutes for a table.
