The Wheatsheaf Inn Restaurant and Bar in Scarborough

Enjoyed a sunday Lunch here in September which was so good five of us had to revisit yesterday. On walking in I was worried that it was so very busy with no sign of empty tables. We were shown into a small cosy lounge and our ordered drinks appeared quickly. In 10 mins we were shown our table, which was spacious and comfortable. One of our party has allergies linked to onions and garlic. She had emailed them the day before requesting if possible gravy without these items. Meal was served 15 min later, steaming hot and the most amazing Yorkshire Puds. The special gravy was delivered to the requester and since one of the numerous veg included leeks their veg was served in a separate dish. I had the beef which was served pink or well done according to your choice. I could only manage one slice and had the rest in a sarnie today. One member of our party chose the meat free option and was not disappointed. The other 3 had two meats. There were at least 6 different veg which all disappeared and we were asked if we needed more. This was declined. Plates were emptied. This was an exceptional tasty meal. The staff were super efficient, attentive to the right degree. We will be back. Thank you

Came across this pub by chance while on holiday in the area, so cosy with open fire, had a lovely lunch and came back for dinner later in the week. Best pie we’ve had anywhere. Warm welcome and great service. Highly recommend

Easily one of the best pubs I have been to in a long time. Spotless, great food and drinks, excellent service. All pubs should aspire to be as good as the Wheatsheaf.

This pub/restaurant is under new ownership but the food and the drinks are still of exceptional quality. We visited at lunchtime (midweek), we had reserved our table in advance (this is advisable) and we were met with a very warm welcome. The menu has changed but still offers a good selection. The quality of the food was very good and the presentation appealing. Always a must when we visit this area. Good luck going forward, this place remains a firm favourite with us

We always eat at the Wheatsheaf when on holiday in the area.The Food,service and ambience is first class. The food is always delicious and scourced locally.The staff are friendly and efficient.The beer is 'Top Notch'.I just wish the Wheatsheaf was nearer to where we live...in Devon!

Verg good food. We went on a sunday evening and they have a more limited menu but plenty of choice and the quality is great. Best to reserve a table as we popped in Friday for a drink and every table was occupied. Good service throughout too.

Wow! We were staying in a nearby village and wanted somewhere close by for dinner. They fitted us in last minute and our table was available as soon as we arrived. Would definitely advise booking ahead of time. Our order was taken quickly, the tables are quite close together and there were a lot of locals in but it felt welcoming and cosy. The food was served in a timely fashion. The kids portions were a good size. Our children 10&12 had plenty on their plates, but still found room for pudding! My chicken escalope was tender, juicy and flavoursome. The accompanying vegetables were cooked and seasoned to perfection. We all thoroughly enjoyed our food. Would definitely return and have been highly recommending the food here

Excellent food and a good selection of real ales' Welcoming staff. During our 3 night stay in the local area we visited the Wheatsheaf Inn on 2 evenings and thoroughly enjoyed our meals and would definitely recommend this lovely Inn. Glenn & Eileen Fowler Derbyshire

Very nice location and decent if not brilliant food. Staff were very friendly but one had the sense that locals received more attention which is understandable.

We tried this restaurant on the recommendation of our B&B owner and we were not disappointed. Lovely country pub in an attractive village. Our Salmon fillet with prawn meals were excellent, well cooked substantial and nicely presented. Good selection of beers and pleasant serving staff.

We had a lovely Sunday lunch on the first weekend of our holidays. We loved it so much we made 2 further reservations & they did not disappoint. Food is gorgeous lovely pub & staff thank you

The food quality was wonderful, would advise anyone in the area to call in and give it a try. Cannot fault the food at any level. Gets busy so you may need to book a table. 5 stars from us. Will visit again 👍❤️

We stumbled across the Wheatsheaf on the way back from a day out in lovely Whitby and stopped off for dinner. It is a charming, idyllic little establishment on the main road through Egton with nice views of the moors from the tables on the grass verge outside the front door. We ordered the homemade chicken tikka masala and scampi and chips. Both were beautifully presented, piping hot, clearly homemade, superbly tasty and as fresh as a daisy. Service was quick and nice and friendly and the setting was very relaxing. We won’t need any egging on to return to Egton!

This was our first visit, and certainly won't be our last. Everything about this place is first class .. small but varied menu, lots of delightful and different ideas, quality cooking and presentation and just the right amount. Our party consisted of 6 adults and our six grandchildren who also loved the children's menu options! This establishment should be recognised on a national level!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!!!

I first reviewed the Wheatsheaf in 2011, on our first visit. We have been regulars ever since then, except, of course, during lockdown. We were so pleased to be able to return after the easing of restrictions.This is the best place to eat in this area.The menu has always been interesting, not just the usual pub grub. The kidneys are sometimes available on the special menu at lunchtime, they are very well cooked and presented and are very tasty, as are all of the dishes. My husband likes the scallops.The desserts are great and there is a good selection ice creams.The standard has been consistent and the service is informal, but efficient and welcoming.This is my favourite lunchtime restaurant.L

Stayed overnight in motorhome cannot fault landlord n landlady even though they were restricted on beers etc under current restrictions done there best to accommodate us amd made us welcome would recommend staying again and will be back

We came here on a recommendation for the food, which was not entirely wrong, but we wouldn’t rush back. The atmosphere was quite dead despite being full, due to the way the rooms were separated and furnished, as well as a lack of background music. The menu offered a decent choice, but we were taken aback by the arrogance and awkwardness of saying on it that no substitutions or changes would be made in any circumstance. I could maybe understand refusing on request major changes that fundamentally change a dish, but it did not come across well putting this on the menu itself and being outright - it removed any sense of welcoming. We had scampi and chips (though there was no vinegar available) and the ‘burger’ with sauce. I say ‘burger’, as while it was technically a patty it’s certainly not what you’d expect when ordering a burger and would have been impossible to eat with your hands due to the amount of sauce. That said, it was tasty and we enjoyed the food, but as said given everything else we probably wouldn’t return.

This is a Family favourite, especially for Sunday lunch. A warm welcome awaits from Nigel and Elaine in this beautiful cosy pub. A great pint and delicious food. Even in these crazy times COVID19 front and centre but the atmosphere is still warm and welcoming. If you are looking for a weekend away they have a beautiful holiday cottage that sleeps 8 in luxury.Remember to book.

So so tasty. Sunday dinner with friends (Tier1) before lockdown. Hats off to Nigel and team Wheatsheaf. Vegs and desserts (trio) to die for. We will be back. Thank you.

We stayed in the holiday cottage opposite so walked over for Sunday dinner. I can honestly say I had the best Sunday dinner out I have ever had. The main course choice was good. I had the roast pork which just melted in the mouth. The extensive selection of vegetables that can with the meal was amazing. I was to full up to partake in pudding, however the other members of my party did. All I can say about the puddings when they arrived was wow! When we are next back in the area we will be returning. A very friendly Yorkshire pub, well done to the owners.

We were on our way to Egton to see a friend and we called at the Sneaky fox at Scaling for lunch but it was closed. So we continued onto Egton when we saw the door to Wheatsheaf was open so we called in to see if they were serving food and they were. There was a spare table in the bar so we had a look at the menu and decided to stay. There was a choice of sandwiches,snacks and cooked meals.The staff and customers were fiendly. The food was good. It was a nice old country pub with a nice atmosphere. We were impressed we asked for there business card

Lovely place, very friendly and the staff are fabulous. My husband described the food as superb and fantastic. Praise indeed.

We were in our Motorhome and called ahead to ask if we could park up in the carpark for the night....... nothing was too much trouble! We sat in the small cosy bar area with our dog talking with the locals, drinking and eating, lots!! The food was to die for from the fishcakes, scampi, kidneys, pork and the trio of mini puddings, all wonderful. What a lovely friendly family run establishment and very well organised, cant wait to return, thank you Amy and family

Very pretty pub, called in for a drink to have in beer garden. Bar was heaving with people - too many for size of room!My husband told me to wait outside and queued for drinks which he brought out. No track and trace details taken at all which is concerning.

We had amazing back to back meals here this weekend. First an informal table of 6. Amazing scampi (yes just good old scampi!) and the second night a more formal table of 8 to celebrate a 65th wedding anniversary. Sirloin steak to die for! Thank you for catering so easily and so we’ll for my two nieces who are gluten free. Fantastic food, great service and the boys drank most of the Black Sheep dry! We stayed across the road at 6 Arncliffe View so easy to stumble home. Thanks to everyone and great Covid measures. Very well controlled. Booking recommended.

We were staying in the cottage attached to the pub. We had a lovely stay in the cottage and had a fantastic dinner in the restaurant. I really can’t recommend the Wheatsheaf any more highly.

We visited the Wheatsheaf inn on Wednesday for dinner and wow, what a meal!! My wife and I have been lucky enough to eat out quite a bit (pre-COVID) as we work in London and we can honestly say this is one of the best places we have eaten. Fantastic service from all the staff and the food is out of this world, all locally sourced as well and you can taste it. Make sure you book in advance, they are busy for a reason but they are worth it. We can’t wait to come and visit again soon.

We had the most fantastic meal here - the fish stew is the best fish dish I’ve ever had & my friends felt the same. Desserts also to die for & a great bottle of Sauvignon capped it off

The food is always delicious and well presented, staff are friendly and provide a top service, and there is a good selection of drinks. I definitely recommend!

Despite the 'distancing' restrictions during the pandemic, the Wheatsheaf maintained its reputation for efficient and friendly service. We were quickly seated, our order taken promptly and the meals served within a reasonable time. Each or our party of four had a different meal from the extensive menu. Overall a very pleasant lunchtime break. We shall return,

We visited this pub whilst on holiday and had a fantastic meal. There was a varied choice of food from pub classics to more gastro-pub options. The crab linguine was sensational and the portions were generous without being too much. The service was outstanding especially given how busy the pub was. Beer quality top notch. We didn't have dessert which was a shame as these looked amazing too and they have the option of trying a smaller portion of 3 mini desserts which is a brilliant idea. Would highly recommend.

Arrived to a very warm welcome. We Visited on one of the Eat out to Help out days and it was extremely busy but service was excellent. My husband had the fillet steak burger and he said it was the best he had eaten. I had the calamari off the special board and it was equally as delicious. We each had a trio of desserts - wow, they were all so tasty.We enjoyed it so much that we booked again for September.

Came here when last stayed in the area 8 years ago so wasn’t sure what to expect. We wanted a trip down memory lane and we certainly got it here.The place was busy, a little too busy under the circumstances probably but the staff kept their eye on people to ensure social distancing was kept up.The food was fabulous. Reasonable prices meets michelin quality. We’ve eaten at Michelin restaurants before and this was on par if not better than some.Queenie scallops and 3 cheese soufflé to start was perfect to start with. Followed by fish stew and the best crab linguine I have ever had. Couple this with a recommendation for the perfect wine at a very reasonable £19.95 this was a wonderful experience. A trio of puds to share followed and capped off with filter coffee I expected £100+ bill, less than £80 for all the lot and we had a pint and half before we started. If you are coming this way this place is a must eat. I won’t be leaving it another 8 years that’s for sure.

Booked 3 days ago for a birthday dinner for partner. They had recorded our booking for a week later and offered a small table in bar area not the restaurant. Very small bar with no social distancing possible. Became very uncomfortable due to close proximity of other guests and asked if they could sit us in the restaurant. This was refused by the elderly gentleman. The female member of staff was doing her best to persuade him to give us a table. He refused. No suggestions provided to remedy their mistake and totally unapologetic. Mistakes do indeed happen but the way it was dealt with was rude and unnecessary. Such a shame as the food is clearly exceptional. The customer service on this occasion was not.

Lovely friendly staff, very helpful particularly with our onward route plans. Nice country pub with good food.

We booked for lunch here after recommendations from friends. We sat outside as we had our dog with us and they are not allowed in the dining room. We had fresh mussels, calamari and scampi and all were excellent. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this restaurant to friends.

We stayed at Broom House for two nights while on our first visit to North Yorkshire. The Wheatsheaf Inn was recomended by Luke and Brianne. We were not disappointed. We enjoyed starters, main courses and desserts. All courses were freshly cooked, piping hot and tasted amazing. We sat in the small bar to the left of the property. It was a warm evening and all the tables out the front were full... eating in the bar ended up in our favour as a thunderstorm came over. We had scallops and soufflé to start and the chefs specials for main course (duck burger and prawn linguine) and then we finished with lemon posset and pavlova. The service was excellent from our two waiters and without doubt we would recommend the Wheatsheaf Inn to anyone (and hope to explore more of North Yorkshire and visit here for dinner again).

I used Messenger to book a small celebration dinner for my 70th birthday and to celebrate my first outing for dinner after shielding since March. On arrival we were told there was no record of of our booking and it was suggested we wait in the bar until some one else had finished their meal. The landlord was rude to my husband and I felt uneasy in the small bar so waited in the car until our guests arrived so that we could explain the situation.As we had commitments the following day I didn't want to eat late so we went home and eventually found a fish and chip shop open. I checked Messenger and the booking had been confirmed twice.I hoped the Wheatsheaf might contact me to offer an apology but when one was not forthcoming I contacted them .The person who took the booking got back to me with a brief apology and a long explanation about why they would not use Messenger for bookings again.I had hoped for a gesture to apologise and to persuade us to return to the Wheatsheaf but nothing was offered.Mistakes sometimes cannot be helped it how these mistakes are dealt with that matters.

What a fantastic inn, excellent beers, superb food all at a great price. We really couldn't fault what was a most enjoyable evening's dining. All 3 courses were excellent and represented great value for money

Firstly the welcome was spot on. Fantastic pub in beautiful location. The beer was top class. We had three courses of excellent food and lovely wine. Great hosts. Just wish it was our local. Thoroughly recommended

We visited twice last week , amazing food , friendly welcoming staff & excellent Covid precautions , felt safe & would 100% recommend . The linguine was perfect

Managed to get a table here last minute which we were so grateful for. Had the steak burgers, one of the best burgers I ever had! The staff were so friendly and welcoming throughout and you were made to feel like one of the regulars, so lovely.

Visited for lunch today and loved everything about the place. It’s warm, tasteful decor and lovely music. The landlord was friendly and welcoming and there was obviously several locals in there which is always a good sign. I had a gorgeous cheese soufflé and my husband had the burger. He also enjoyed his pint of Landlord ale and fancied another! This place deserves all it’s excellent reviews - a gem of a place

What a lovely family run pub. We sat in the main bar area and had starter, main and shared a desert. Food was absolutely beautifully cooked. We are both foodies and thought our meals here were all really well thought out definitely not typical pub grub. Great potion sizes too, we shared the trio of deserts and thought the sizes of each one was very generous they were so good. Very warm welcome from the landlord and his daughter. The staff were all lovely people who were happy to chat with us and make us very welcome. Lots of locals throughout the evening which is always nice to see, everyone should have a local like this one!. Enjoyed meeting the little chick who had recently hatched as well :)

We have just had a lovely meal at this pub. As other reviews mentioned it feels very safe the tables are spaced well apart. All staff very attentive and friendly would definitely recommend.

Well spaced tables, staff wearing face coverings with a record of all diners, I felt very safe on my first evening out since March. Excellent food, friendly staff providing good service, I can recommend this pub for anyone feeling anxious after lockdown.

Visited Saturday evening and met by I assume the licensee. Not a happy chappie to say the least. When asked if he had a table for two the reply was “ if you haven’t booked no”. The hostelry did not look at all busy and there was room outside but No. In fact I thought he was very arrogant rude man and he needs to get his kitchen cook him a “Happy Meal”. Obviously having a bad day. Try next door. What a difference.

Lovely to be back for a great meal with the family. Love the new decor and furniture. Great service and good to see friends also enjoying the food and the ambiance. Some things a little different, due to Covid. But most things the same or better.well done all.

Visited our favourite restaurant with 2 friends on the first night of opening after shut down and have to admit we were a little worried we were maybe taking a risk by going to a restaurant so soon. We need not have worried at all. All guests entered through one door and were directed into the dining room. Social distancing was more than adequately catered for and we felt very safe. Staff were really pleasant and managed to make a joke out of the fact they were all wearing face masks. The whole experience was so well organised.The food was great as usual or as my husband described his steak "Spot On" and we had a fantastic evening. Already looking forward to our next visit.Thank you Nigel and Elaine for an excellent night.Tina W

We visited the Wheatsheaf for the first time since lockdown restrictions were lifted and couldn't have had a more positive experience. Still the same exceptional quality of food/service, but all done with due consideration to social distancing and the safety of both customers and staff. Tables were well spaced and the waiting staff wore masks, which certainly put us at our ease. As expected, plenty of hand sanitiser etc.Equally as importantly (actually, let's face it - more-so!), the food was still exceptional. Rare roast beef and a fabulous array of delicious vegetables. As usual, pudding was a must.Supporting the hospitality industry is so important at the moment, and I can think of nowhere better than the Wheatsheaf!

A fantastic 'Last Supper', we managed to swap our booked table from the Saturday to the Friday as the Government announced the closure of all pubs, restaurants, cafes etc in light of the Coronavirus. The food was amazing, all 4 of us decided to have the steak and wasn't disappointed. The staff were brilliant and made the visit very special. A group of younger locals were in later into the evening and they were great, friendly and welcoming and just added to an amazing night. In these unprecedented times I am only saddened that I don't know how long it will be before we can taste their amazing food and enjoy the warm hospitality. Good luck to you all and I look forward to seeing you soon.

Visited this lovely pub for a fantastic meal last night & it was so good we revisited again tonight. The landlord Nigel is very friendly & his Wife Elaine is a wonderful cook & we were served with the best meal we’ve had since our visit last year. Would definitely recommend the Chicken & Bacon pie - it’s our favourite but the steak is a very close second!!

Through darkness and lack of glasses we mistook this pub for one we were booked into nearby. Once confidently announcing our arrival for our booking, whilst slightly bemused, the landlord seated us. Where upon I can say I had one of the best meals I've ever had. My partner being quite finicky about his food had the lambs kidney to start then steak, I had risotto then steak and mulled wine pie. It was outstanding for both of us. Upon leaving we discovered our mix up and can only apologise to the valentine's couple that were constantly sat on an oversized table.

Fancied a new place to try and we weren’t disappointed. Good service, lovely food and reasonable prices.

We visited the Wheatsheaf to meet up with elderly family members .Although the food,staff and service were good the dining room was freezing .There is a log burner ,but that doesnt heat the room adequately .We had to sit in our coats to have our meal .We noticed other diners hadn't bothered removing their coats also.This has been a favorite meeting place for our elderly relatives, but even they have said that they have decided not to return .

Varied menu . We choose soup and crab sandwich . Very pleasant in a comfortable traditional pub . There was a selection of beers including Black Sheep . A very nice traditional pub in a village setting .

Popped in for lunch. I had a nice pint of Black Sheep bitter followed by a tasty fish kedgeree. Beautiful although personally I would have liked a bit more spicyness. A saucy kedgeree that worked well with the side naan bread. My wife had the crab linguine from the specials board which was "perfection ".Served by the owner who was friendly and helpful. Recommended.

Booking is highly recommended as you will be disappointed if you walked in and there were no tables. We booked for a Tuesday evening and the restauarnt was full to brim with happy diners! As it is Grouse season I opted for this and certainly wasn't disappointed - it was great! Partner had crab linguine, the crab was from Whitby that day, and thoroughly enjoyed it albeit filling! Finished with a crumble and bread and butter pudding - what more can you want! Highly recommended but please book!!

we called into the pub after visiting the area house hunting, after having a drink we decided to return for supper , we were allowed to book a table in the bar with our dog , we have a pasta dish with crab and a spinach and ricotta cannelloni both delicious, my husband had the bread and butter pudding which was delicious.the only negative for us was that we would have liked to have eaten a little later , but the dog friendly tables are before 7pm.

Went for a quick visit on wed with Carol for change of scenery, we live around 1hour away. The food stunning, however the atmosphere appalling. The landlord (who was most welcoming, may I add) and the similarly welcoming waiter started what appeared to be a disagreement behind the bar, before they both headed to what I assume is the kitchen where we could hear a heated debate to say the least. Would like to return on a less tense day, compliments to chef

We wanted a light lunch and called in on spec. Really great find - a proper pub with a great atmosphere and a welcoming landlord. We had fresh crab sandwiches and a couple of large glasses of dry rose, everything was spot on. I wish we lived nearer but hopefully we will be able to return in the not too distant future. If you are in the vicinity do not miss the Wheatsheaf.

Can't rate this highly enough. We had two starters - mussels and pate, which were delicious and just the right size. Mains were wonderful - steak and mulled wine pie, fillet steak burger and chicken escalope. Unfortunately we had no room for dessert, so we'll have to go back again soon. The staff were lovely; super friendly and professional. Can't wait to go back!

Visited here on a Saturday afternoon in June. Had a very decent meal of Scampi and Chips. Priced well and friendly service. I would certainly recommend to others if in the area.

Well what a lovely place.we stayed at Broom House whom recommended to visit the wheatsheaf for our evening meal. My hubby ordered the beef stroganoff l had the coronation chicken from the specials board neither of us were dissapointed the food was absolutely delicious. The service from the staff couldn't have been better. Your staff are a credit to you they were very attentive and pleasant.

We had dinner here the first of our two nights in Egton Bridge. We drove passed it on our way to our b&b; and it looked nice so we stopped & checked out the menu (which looked great) . So we booked an early dinner. After the horrors of an unpleasantly busy Whitby the peace and quiet of the Wheatsheaf Inn was a blessing.

Went for dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The good parts were the crab bisque starter - excellent - and the dessert array, particularly the lemon posset which was outstanding.

We were served by a very friendly and helpful waitress. I had the GRILLED SALMON - with Prawn, Dill & Queenie Sauce which was quite delicious (I swapped the potatoes for chips which were really good too). My husband was really impressed with the LAMB SHOULDER. I had a trio of desserts and my husband had the sticky toffee pudding. It was all top notch - our plates were clean!

The Wheatsheaf was recommended to us upon arrival on our holiday so we decided to book a table (Recommended). We were greeted by the friendly owner very impressed with the service by friendly staff and upon arrival the meals were superb. They were prepared using quality ingredients and beautifully presented. We only chose a main course but for us that was plenty as the portions were generous. The meals were great value for money. Highly recommended for all family members

Had dinner here on a Friday night. It’s only a small pub/restaurant, so book ahead to avoid disappointment. The food was, quite simply, delicious and the portions very generous. Would definitely revisit and recommend to others.

This has to rank as one if not the best Sunday lunch we have had in a long time. Highly recommended. 4 out of 5 of us vegetarian, one gluten free! Superb!

This was probably the best Sunday lunch I’ve ever eaten .

We were looking for somewhere for lunch that would take children and a dog. I popped in to look at the menu and check that it offered one child’s essential - scampi and chips. It did and there was a wide range of really tempting dishes. The host was elsewhere but the locals in there explained he’d be back soon and chatted to me.

A great old-fashioned pub but with excellent restaurant-quality food with a wide menu and range of dishes.

the sunday lunch is absolutely incredible with amazing, friendly staff. especially good seeing as though there was 10 of us, including a 1 year old

came for a sunday lunch with the family, the food was delicious and the staff were so friendly, would definitely visit here again if ever i was in the area. definitely recommend. such a comfortable and enjoyable experience

Very welcoming staff, and enjoyable meal. Went midweek so fairly quiet, so limited atmosphere, my only grumble is the portions in my opinion were on the small side, though my partner and elderly relative found them adequate.

Out on the North Yorkshire moors and feeling hungry called in at this pub. A very good choice of meals was on offer. My wife chose fresh crab linguine and I had a burger with salad and chips as I am a fussy eater. My wife said that the crab linguine was delicious while I enjoyed the burger filling, salad and tasty chips but, as usual for me the burger bun was too filling so half got left. However, the desserts (what I "live" for) were really special.. we both went for a tasting dessert. This was a choice of three small servings from their list of desserts. Really delicious andnot so much that we felt guilty. The only thing that was disappointing was the lack of other diners in the larger dining area.

We visited this country pub for a family get together at lunchtime .Friendly enough staff and food ok, but the dining area we were in was very cold .There was a log burner but it was let to burn down and not fed .We asked for additional heating and a little heater across the dining room was plugged in .We were the only diners in the room which was cold ,and not really very inviting and lacks any atmosphere .We have been here several times and its always been the same . They have a lovely bar area its a pity it doesnt extend to large dining room .

On entering dining area, it felt like we were in a church, Cold atmosphere.No Starters.

Popped in for a drink and were welcomed by a warm log burner. The landlord and guests were very friendly and the beer and wine was very good. There is a restaurant too and it was fully booked so really showed how popular it is. The menu looked god and all dishes where reasonably priced. I would like to go back when next in the area.

Had a lovely evening with family and friends at the Wheatsheaf.

My friends and I love this place. We booked for lunch on New Tear's Day, there was a fire in the hearth where you walked into the cosy bar. We ladies love our sherry and were recommended one by the landlord, a sweet Christmas sherry which was delicious. Everyone enjoyed their meals, most had the pie, I had a goats cheese tart. Delightful and leave room for a dessert because they are so good. You can get a trio of small ones if you are spoilt for choice. You'll get a warm welcome here. As I said last time, the only problem is that i don't live near enough to go more often.

We were 4 for lunch between Christmas and New Year and I was so impressed by the food and the atmosphere at this Inn. We sat at the round table by the bar which was super cozy and as the bar was not very busy it was just right. I had the best cheese souffle I have ever had ( and I have tried a few) whilst my friends enjoyed their streak and kidney pie and burgers. We had the trip of desserts for pudding and they were all gorgeous and such a great idea.

Enquired by email during the day about a booking for later that evening and within the hour a table was booked at our convenience. Lovely welcome and gorgeous food all at a reasonable price. Well recommended if you’re in the vicinity.

On the advice of our B&B; owner, we went to the nearby Wheatsheaf Inn for dinner. The menu choices were outstanding. In addition to the printed menu there were a number of specials on the board. There were three of us and we all chose different entree's. There were no disappointments. We enjoyed it so thoroughly that we returned the second night of our local stay so that we could all order other entree's from the extensive choices and enjoy it all yet again. The service was perfect. Just the right amount of attention. In all of our meals, the remarkable flavors were distinct and just right to accentuate the dish. If we were not several thousand miles away in the U.S. we'd return this very night.

Four of us came for Sunday lunch. Restaurant not large but plenty of room for the tables used and comfortable. I love the old style English pub atmosphere. Nice log burner in the centre, We had a very nice lunch. Menu was just Beef, Pork or Lamb. I had combined beef/pork a good idea as I wasn’t sure which to order. Lots of vegetables and a large variety which we loved. Perhaps our teenagers would have preferred a Chicken option but not a big issue. Plenty of parking front and back. Would be happy to return.

Lovelly , quirky , attentive service here . Portions of food just right and utterly stunning infusion of flavours , couldn’t fault this place . Landlord was the perfect host and made us feel welcome. We will certainly return and highly recommend this place to others

Four of us booked a meal for today everything was excellent from the welcome service and all four meals were excellent shall be back soon. Well done to you all

Called in for lunch after driving across the moors.

I went here with 5 family members. Everyone else's meal looked fine. I had ordered the mushroom risotto. It was a fraction the size of everyone else's. I queried this. The landlord said that it was very filling, but if I was still hungry I should just say and he would bring me more. I finished well before the rest of the family so told the landlord I would like some more. He then turned into Basil Faulty. He ranted that the dish contained wild mushrooms and truffle oil (not mentioned on the menu) and it was just a "light lunch". I could have another, but he would charge me. If it did contain wild mushrooms and truffle oil the portion was so tiny it could not have been much. Rice is not expensive, there could have been more. The landlady then spoke to him and then he said "I have been told not to charge you". By this time the whole family felt rather uncomfortable. If he hadn't reacted in that way we would have had more drinks and a dessert. What an unpleasant man!

Went twice--excellent food, beer and service. dog friendly in the bar but not in the restaurant. Would recommend.

24 of us ate at the Wheatsheaf last week from an agreed pre-arranged set price menu. Superb options, good price and outstanding food and service. Faultless!

We came here on many high recommendations and it did not disappoint. The food was absolutely delicious. If you want a roast with all the trimmings and then some, the Wheatsheaf is for you. My favourite part was the array of creatively cooked, home grown vegetables, but the potatoes and Yorkshire puddings were perfectly cooked too. The food arrived quickly as well. The choice of beers was fantastic and the service was excellent. All the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly and the chef went way beyond the call of duty to help us out- thank you!

Situated virtually next door to the Witching Post Inn.

Didn’t get off to a good start, when phoning to enquire about the Sunday Lunch menu was told “Beef, Pork, Lamb or vegetarian option”. Having asked about starters “you don’t need them, our meals are sufficient but you can have dessert” this was followed by “two sittings, 12 & 13.45. If you want later sitting you’ll need to book 3-4 weeks in advance”. Nearly didn’t bother but our friends really wanted to try it.

Good food but spoiled by obnoxious landlord. Try the Witching Post (50 metres away) for good beer and pleasant service.

Rang up to book a table and they had just had a cancellation, so pleased they had or we would have missed finding this jem! Super friendly staff, amazing food and a lovely location. If you are in the area do call in for a meal.

My wife and I was driving through North Yorkshire on Wednesday 25th and whilst on our way to Grosmont we noticed The wheatsheaf Inn and decided to stop for a light lunch.

Our party of 6 enjoyed a lovely lunch earlier this week. We have been several times before & have always found the the food to be extremely good & great value for money. Crab linguine & crab sandwich, Caesar salad, belly pork & kedgeree all delicious, washed down by Helmsley brewery beer and a lovely white rioja. The trio of mini puds is a great idea as it's always difficult to narrow your choice down to 1!

Went with friends for lunch, table booked in advance. Arrived to less than warm welcome, given menus & told to make our way to table on corner of room. Although soup of the day was printed on lunch menu was told that soup is not available at lunchtime!!!!!!
