The Whitehouse in Hambleton

What a little gem of a cafe. Breakfast service is personal and welcoming. The menu was taylored to my choice and so tasty. Yet to enjoy the evening menu but it always looks so warm and welcome when I drive by in an evening.

Website says it opens at half 8. Turned up at 5 to 9 looking forward to some breakfast and the place was locked with no sign to say when it was opening.

Reasonable price and reasonable quality the staff were friendly may a bit too much - Large breakfast purchased

A friend and I met here for coffee and paid by card, I found out a couple of days later they had taken the payment twice, I was told by the lady who said she was the owner the money would be put back into my bank account, I am still waiting, DO NOT PAY BY CARD.

Took the family for a spare of the moment meal. What a surprise the food was fantastic and perfectly presented. The staff were very pleasant we can’t wait to go back again

Last minute decision to go and have an evening meal at The Whitehouse Cafe in Normanby and what a surprise !!! We ordered steaks, kebabs and red wine and we could not eat it all ! The portions are very generous. The hubby has been ordering take out Turkish kebabs for a few weeks now and this was the first time eating in and we were not disappointed. Good value for money and service is brilliant. Will be returning and will recommend.

We visited last night and all had Turkish starters,Turkish mains and a bottle of wine ,EFES and soft drink.Food was proper traditional Turkish food service was really good,bill for 4 of us was £80 so very well priced,we will return.

For a cafe the prices are extortionate. You can go to a restaurant on linthorpe road for what they charge in here. The food is only mediocre too.

Visited here for a bite to eat, even though it was afternoon we were offered the day menu and the evening menu. We chose two kebabs off the evening menu. Absolutely beautiful food. Service was brilliant! Owner was lovely and couldn't of been more helpful! Will definitely be returning!

Visited with my partner on a Saturday night and was blown away. The food was amazing. I had the lamb skewers and my partner had the Whitehouse special and we were both very pleased. The meat was delicious and the salad fresh and presented really well. The service was excellent and they couldn't do enough for us. Very reasonably priced and would definitely recommend.

Having been regular and VERY satisfied customers at the Whitehouse since it first opened we were delighted that the opening hours had been extended to 11pm by the new management. We decided to try the new 'bistro' menu advertising Turkish dishes one evening recently. We ordered 2 Turkish starters (around £4/£5 each), 2 main courses one of which was the 'Whitehouse special (£15.50) and 2 drinks. It was around 9pm and we were the only customers there. Although the service was good with polite and friendly staff, the food was ok but quite mediocre. The Whitehouse special that consisted of a mixed plate of turkish grills was definitely not worth £15.50. Sadly the food was not appetizing enough to warrant our return. I suspect the evening 'bistro' service will not be operating for too long as the food was not of a sufficient standard to warrant the prices charged.

My mum has just moved to the area so thought we’d pop in for brunch. The quiche looked lovely so we both ordered it with salad but no chips and a bottle of water each. The young girl who served us was quite rude but I said nothing and sat down. The quiche was as lovely as it looked but when we went to pay the bill she charged us £14.80!!!! I questioned that this was correct and she informed me it was a fixed price including chips, which I reminded her we didn’t have. When I asked why she didn’t inform us of that and we would have chosen something else she told me the customers knew this was the case. Having never visited before how could I know that!! I asked to speak to the manager but he wasn’t available so another waitress came out, I presume was her sister, who was extremely rude and offered no solution. Now I don’t mind paying for a meal but £15 for 2 pieces of quiche with a tiny amount of salad and 2 bottles of water is disgraceful. If they had offered a reduction or explanation in a polite way that would have been the end of the matter. However, the customer service from the 2 girls was severely lacking and I will not be visiting again or recommending to my family and friends. Small businesses like this should be supported but not when I’m treated in this way, absolutely shocking.

I have been to the whitehouse a couple of times before for breakfast and always left feeling satisfied from a huge plate of quality products! Today we decided to try a takeaway Sunday dinner after it being recommended to us by someone we are family with. The place was buzzing and they were inundated with orders which was a good sign! For just £5 I was gobsmacked by the quality and the portion size we all received! We all ordered the beef, beautifully cooked and tender THICK slices. Everything was cooked from fresh NOTHING FROZEN! And plenty of delicious gravy. All still hot by the time we got them home too. Will certainly be ordering again, and at £5 a head it’s a steal!

Lovely little local cafe in Normanby high street. Excellent homecooked food, particularly home made pies. Massive portions. Also do cakes and scones but always too full to have one but you can get them to take away. Not keen on the coffee, cappacino too milky for me but do nice pot of tea

We had breakfast here. It was a cool, wet summers day but it was so lovely and toasty warm inside the cafe. The service was excellent with very friendly staff. Food was great and there is a huge choice.

Una pequeña joya para una parada de almuerzo. Nada es demasiado apuro para el personal champán muy agradable. Excelente selección de comida caliente y fría todo servido rápidamente y nos volveremos a presentar. Fantástica selección de pasteles. Ventaja de poder sentarse fuera.

Have dined here many times and can't fault the place. Food is always spot on and great value. Owner is a pleasure as well.

I have eaten here a few times now, excellent cooked breakfasts at very reasonable prices and also early dinner on Friday evenings. Staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble.

Acabamos de tener el almuerzo en la cafetería y el personal es muy agradable y nada es demasiado problema para ellos. Yo tenía un sandwich tostado que venía con una ensalada de col casera y encantador con mi marido tenía un jamón con ensalada y caseras panini de col. La decoración también es precioso. Recomendaríamos este establecimiento.

La comida que se sirve en la cafetería del encantador y amable, es delicioso. Los desayunos son cocinados a la orden, por lo que hay un poco de espera, pero merece la pena. El propietario es un tío muy simpático, alegre y debido a esto la cafetería tiene un ambiente muy acogedor. El menú tiene una muy buena variedad de snacks y comidas, todo a un precio razonable. Almuerzo de los domingos es muy popular, por lo que puede ser aconsejable. Un poco de un inconveniente, pero no es culpa del propietario, hay una pequeña tarifa para pagos con tarjeta de débito.

really good food and good sweet selection often full at dinnertime but worth the wait, its clean comfy just right I reckon

Had friends visiting recently and we went here for Breakfast. Nice attentive staff and a well presented Breakfast, there was only one problem - there was TOO MUCH and sadly I had to leave some (and that was a Medium Breakfast), very enjoyable

We are regular customers at this FANTASTIC little cafe bistro. We pop in sometimes just for latte and scones/cake and sometimes for meals. The delicious food is all home cooked (meat pies are out of this world), and served by exceptionally friendly and efficient staff who go out of their way to please their customers. A real personal touch! Breakfasts and parmos (with proper home made chips) are fabulous with very reasonable prices! The cafe itself is very clean, cosy and well furnished. It also has an outside seating area. From sandwiches, quiches, pies, paninis, soups and breakfasts to parmos, filled jackets and specials boards etc -the food is the best around all at great prices! We definitely recommend! The only downside about this little gem of a place is that it closes around 2.30 pm every day. Message for management: PLEASE PLEASE consider longer opening times- we would love to be able to pop in to dine later in the day-especially on a Fri/Sat.

The Large Breakfast cannot be beaten anywhere in quality and portion size.The service is excellent too.Thank you

This was my first time at this bistro and my Husbands second time. The bistro itself is very clean and modern. We both had Sunday lunch, mine with pork and my husbands with beef. Everything on our plates was very fresh and tasty. No aunt bessies in this bistro, praise the Lord! . The staff are very welcoming and polite in a very relaxed atmosphere. The portions are very generous indeed and the prices are very reasonable. We will definitely be back again and again and again.......

I have been here a few times but unfortunately this place is going down hill. I ordered jacket spud with coronation chicken. The jacket tasted like it had been cooked yesterday, the best thing about this meal was the salad!! Most disappointing was my daughters kids meal, she ordered chicken nuggets that tasted like fish fingers. Suppose that's what you get when you deep fry everything in the same pot. She left all her food we paid drank our drinks and left very disappointed.

Fantastic place to eat. We have visited this cafe on a number of occasions. Staff are very helpful, friendly and made us very welcome. Would definitely recommend this place, it's well worth a visit and you won't be disappointed.

What a great cafe, very friendly and polite staff and an excellent breakfast and coffee. Definitely recommended and I will be back.

First time I've been to The Whitehouse, and I visited for the weekend evening bistro. (Which has only be going for a few weeks).Food was well cooked, well presented, tasty, and good value.Service was good, and the staff were friendly. Would recommend The Whitehouse.

We found this café a few months ago and have never looked back. We regularly visit with my parents and the food and portions are always so good. The staff go that extra mile and it is obvious take great pride in the place. We have been during the week and also on a Sunday and I have to say it was the best Sunday dinner I have had, with lots of people also collecting as they offer a takeout service. The prices are very reasonable and it has a real welcoming atmosphere. I will continue coming here and recommending as it is just too good not to visit!

Looks and feels good but we've been on no less than three occasions and been turned away every time. On all occasions there were spare tables, most with reserved signs, but the last time we made a special effort to double-check and found at least two tables without signs in a VERY sparsely populated cafe.On the last two occasions, there wasn't so much as an apology. It felt very much like we were being brushed off. On all three occasions, we were very embarrassed and now have no intention of going back just so that we can be rejected again.Perhaps due to these experiences, we've begun to think of it as an exclusive cafe where, if your face don't fit, you're not coming in. We've never known any cafe to do such a thing so, at the very least, and to save a public shaming, there needs to be a clear sign outside advising pre-booking.

I have been in the Whitehouse a few times it's a good meeting place. Nice food cooked to order so it's nice and hot. Friendly staff it's worth a visit.

We come through to Normanby regularly to visit my mum. We always visit this café and we are always met with a lovely welcome. The staff are so friendly the place is very clean and the food is lovely. well deserving of five star rating.

Just been for our Sunday Lunch & it was lovely, all cooked fresh just how it should be and a good portion. This small local cafe has a lot on offer at very reasonable prices from coffee's, tea's, cakes, sandwiches & soups through to main meals including homemade pies, curry's, chicken dishes etc etc. All food & drinks are available for take away too which, this service is very popular due to the quality & prices.The owner 'H' & his saff are very friendly too, there is always a warm welcome, we will be back soon :)

Visited here with a friend. It was very busy and could tell was popular. The service was fast and efficient. We both had the corned beef pie, chips, veg and gravy. The food was delicious as was my banana milkshake. The cakes looked yummy too but had no room to squeeze one in. Will definately return

We visited the cafe today while passing through the village. The owner 'H' was extremely welcoming. When we arrived it was closing and H welcomed us with open arms inviting us in for and making us feel welcome. The Sunday Lunch was huge a very good quality. Will be going back this week with my mum for coffee and lunch.

Really tasty breakfast and good value would definitely recommend it for other people to try it kids even enjoyed it

I take my daughter here for breakfast or lunch and have even started taking my husband when he is home. I have never been disappointed. The portions are generous, the food is high quality and extremely tasty, and the overall service is excellent. Nothing is too much trouble and the staff are friendly and welcoming. Normanby needed somewhere like this and people should support this local business, you would struggle to find better.

i throughly enjoy going and now class myself a regular either going on my own or with family and friends,,the food is absolutely lovely and so is the staff,,can be a queue at lunch times but i m prepared to wait for a scrumptious meal which isnt long at all,where good food is a passion of mine and also lovely staff, and also the customers who go in are very friendly to each other which is very nice,,just what we needed in Normanby,Havent tried their Sunday dinners yet so watch this space.

My wife and I popped in for breakfast one morning recently and we were certainly glad we did. The welcome we received, the surroundings, the choice of food and drink on offer, the refreshments themselves, the prices, all excellent; absolutely first rate in truth. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and will return.

This little cafe is tucked away in Normanby close to Ormesby Hall and Captain cooks Birthplace. It is just a short drive away from Stewarts park and Marton. If you are ever in the area it is well worth the visit. There is parking opposite the entrance, ( turn right before the shops and car park is on the left). All the meals are home made by three lovely hard working ladies. The Staff are freindly and polite, and a very comfortable atmosphere. We had a Sunday Lunch which was just like my own mother used to make. The delicious looking cakes are made on the premises, and the breakfasts are great value. This is the only cafe I know that do take away Sunday lunches, in fact as we sat there enjoying our meal there was a steady flow of take away customers, the dinners were sold out by 1.30. The lovely gentleman who runs this place told us that he will be doing afternoon teas now that the weather is improving. I will definatly be going to sample those.At the moment the cafe closes at 2pm but once the teas start he will be open later.

I am a regular visitor to The Whitehouse cafe and I am never disappointed. The staff are friendly, helpful polite and courteous. This isn't just a greasy spoon. It's genuinely a pleasant place to enjoy breakfast, dinner or just a coffee. The Sunday dinners are bountiful to say the least with generous amounts of meat at very reasonable prices. I would advise anyone in he area to pay this place a visit. You won't be disappointed!

Seen the Cafe/Bistro high ranking on TripAdvisor.. Decided to pay a visit and order two Sunday lunches for Takeout.. Amazing price £10.. Choices Beef, Pork, ChickenHuge in size with generous portions of meat.. Cannot believe what it cost have spent £12/13 each locally nearby in restaurants and not a touch on this.. Friendly Staff give the place a go..

Absolutely lovely food well worth a vist staff really nice and friendly can't do enough for you definitely will be going back

First time visit here recently and the Sunday Lunch was excellent, The place was clean and the staff were very attentive. They even do smaller portions for those with a not so big appetite. From what we witnessed its very well known and regarded by the locals as the number of people calling for 'take away' Sunday lunches was incredible !

This is just what Normanby needed. The cafe is clean, the food is excellent and the staff are friendly. Been here with the family on numerous occasions and the children are always made to feel welcome. I would highly recommend a visit ☕️

What a little beauty!The man who runs it works especially hard and you can see how much dedication he has to the place.The food and service is spot on!You won't be disappointed.

I absolutely love this place it's my local and visit thru the wk and on a Sunday with my nana for my lunch to take out it has a lovely atmosphere and great staff and cooks, excellent service and reasonable prices great place for a family and friends catch up and very friendly people xx

A gorgeous little gem in Normanby The place is immaculate the food is fantastic and homemade, the staff were freindly and the cake was beautiful infact I regularly visit the Whitehouse cafe ane get brilliant service/food each time. Looking forward to my next visit

we were visiting the area and having set off early were looking for breakfast. This place was recommended by a local and offered a good choice which was served quickly and the food was very good. Parking is available on the opposite side of the road behind the facing shops.If you are in the area, give it a try !!

Come here on a regular basis, fantastic home cooked food, lovey staff and lovely clean cafe the Sunday lunches are fantastic
