Popped for Sunday lunch which was absolutely delicious!! However, we were seated in the dining room with a large, noisy family party so it made conversation difficult. In hindsight we should have asked to move but we'll definitely go again as the meal was outstanding. Lovely service too.

The Tiger Inn is a bit of the Beaten Track away from the centre of Beverley. It is definitely worth checking out. There is an excellent selection of draught drinks, including hand pulled cask conditioned real ales. The ones I had were in excellent condition. It's a nice cosy traditional multi-room pub. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and there is a nice outside seating area.

Popped in for a pint, and was lovely. Excellent pub. However, a packed bar with limited seating and a restraint area empty unable to be used by patrons was a tad odd...

I’m miffed. Lovely looking pub but in the drinking side it only had tall seats (which were mostly unoccupied). My wife can’t do tall tables (short legs and bad arthritis), and I can’t do tall tables (back trouble). We asked for a normal table but it was ‘shrugged shoulders’ and indifference. Not even a “let’s see what we can do”. I know from experience this paints a picture of the overall operation. Shame, it looked lovely.

Met friends for a pre Christmas meal. The tiger is a very traditional pub and we sat in the snug so only saw this bit. Menu is small but presumably so they produce top quality food as our 3 meals were amazing. Staff were friendly and plenty of them meant we were never waiting for long for drinks and orders. The fish was white, flakey and very fresh The pork and black pudding sausages on champ were first class and the homemade beef pie looked like it could have fed 2! Will visit again, thank you

They did really well with quite a large group of men. The service was well organised and very helpful and pleasant. The food was OK and given the size of the group quite sufficient. The meal choice below was a Christmas lunch. The pate was really nice especially with the sourdough toast.

Nice food and a nice place, but we went as a large group and this seemed to overwhelm them. Food came out at different times and some of our group had virtually finished before others had started theirs. However, if you go in a smaller party the food and surroundings are well worth the visit.

Pleasantly surprised by this place, we ended up going 3 times last month. The food was great, pie is delicious with a great ale flavour. An outdoor area alongside the carpark where the kids can roam a bit; doesn't look particularly charming from the outside but once seated there, it's good. Nice kids menu. Couldn't fault the service.

Damn damn damn … I really didn’t want to leave this place a less-than-great review but …. maybe get the waiting staff to ASK if diners WANT their food to have extra seasoning? The chips came with a ton of rock salt already on them plus the strong mustard dressing already on the salad when the dish arrived, I couldn’t taste my actual meal! For someone who doesn’t put condiments on their food, it would have been nice to have been given the option of these, seeing as they were not stated on the menu. Do you want your chips salted or unsalted? Would you like dressing on your salad? Two simple questions would’ve have made this a perfect dining experience. Sorry guys.

Some of the best food we've had in Beverley. Not been in here for over a decade, the bar seating was a little worn and the Cask selection was just one (it's Easter Bank Holidays, surely you'd have more selection on?) However, when we ordered our posh fish finger sarnies, we were blown away. Perfect chips, hand Battered fish on fresh bread. It was absolutely spot on and for £8.50, a bloody bargain. Will definitely be back again.

Well..if I needed to, I could sum the Sunday lunch here with one word.. "Spectacular"! But that would be a shame.. so let me tell you.. this is easily the best Sunday lunch I've had for as long as I remember.. the quality of the produce was outstanding..and the team in the kitchen certainly knows what to do with them! Everything was absolutely delicious! But that's not the whole picture.. the atmosphere at the Tiger is really lovely..very friendly warm and welcoming.. a nice buzz about the place.. no dusty library Sunday dinner here! The waiting staff were particularly good.. especially Ben, who cleared our table.. and Theo for his cheeky disposition! I can safely say this is my new favourite place for Sunday lunch, and we will definitely be back!

The Tiger is our local. It was a bit shaky during it's change of ownership. Goodness have they smashed it!!! Sunday lunch yesterday, absolutely outstanding. A little mix up over table orders... But I'd forgive those hard working staff anything. The place was packed and from what I could see, they could have filled it twice over with people dropping in trying to get a table. The food was beautiful, the staff bend over backwards to please. The value for money is amazing too. High praise, but totally deserved 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Took my parents out for some quality time so we enjoyed 3 courses each over a nice couple of hours. The staff were attentive without being intrusive and we never felt rushed. We all enjoyed everything we tried, highly recommend the mackerel parfait it was delicious. The Eton mess was also really well balanced with the tang of the blackberries countering the sweetness of the meringue. Will definitely be returning soon 😁

My only critique was the vegan pie pastry was a bit too thick/tough and the gravy was a bit too rich for my liking. Another vegan on our table of 9 said the same about theirs, but I didn't think it worth marking down because everyone else dishes were superb and we still scoffed as much as we could! Big portions. The garden area was really nice to have a drink in too. Would visit again!

I was attending a monthly meeting, held in one of the function rooms above the bar. I usually have 2 pints of 0% lager, which is on draught. The ambience of the bar is very pleasant and with no music playing one can have conversations with ease. The staff are very busy so you might have to wait a little to be served, but the greeting is warm and friendly. I have only eaten the food at our Xmas party, but it is very tasty.

Great food, drinks, and staff, but an uncomfortable experience with management I've visited JJ's Bar and Restaurant a few times before, especially since we love staying in the lodges nearby, and it’s always been a solid experience. The food is fantastic, the drinks are top-notch, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. On this occasion, however, things were slightly overshadowed by an unfortunate interaction with who I can assume was the manager on Saturday night. While we were dining, he loudly reprimanded a staff member right in front of several tables, which created a tense atmosphere. It made my table, along with a few others around us, feel really uncomfortable. In fact, one group chose to sit outside (in January!) just to get away from the situation. Another comment from the same man, after we mentioned we hadn’t been served yet, was “I’ll slap whoever it is.” This only added to the uneasy feeling. I understand that managing a busy restaurant can be stressful, having worked as a bistro manager myself. But I’m not sure if this particular individual could use some additional training in handling staff and maintaining a positive atmosphere, especially in front of customers. Despite this, I have to give props to the rest of the team — the chefs, the servers, and everyone else — for their excellent service and food. Overall, I’ll definitely return, as this experience was more of an isolated incident. Hopefully, the management team can take a step back and reassess how to better handle pressure situations going forward.
