The best restaurants in Swainby Hambleton Yorkshire and The Humber

Hands down the best steak restaurant in the north east. Knocks spots off the more well known chain restaurants including the “ new one”. Absolutely fantastic food and great service in a true country restaurant.

This is a lovely, friendly and most welcoming place, the food is also great. Love it here.

We visited as a family for Sunday Lunch. My Mum was in a wheelchair and the staff made her more than welcome and catered for her needs. The Sunday Lunch seemed expensive (we chose ‘The Ultimate’ ) however when it came, it was absolutely delicious and worth the price. The service was exceptional and staff friendly . We plan to return every couple of months for Sunday Lunch

The Joiners Shop Café and Kitchen is a fantastic spot for families and dog walkers alike. With its charming “Woof of Fame” board celebrating visiting dogs, it’s a welcoming place for pet owners. The food is delicious, the coffee is excellent, and the service is outstanding. Highly recommended by Nina and Lettie for a relaxing and enjoyable stop! Check out books for sale by local authors.

Stopped here last night for something to eat after filling up at the petrol station on site. It was 5:45pm, the lady in the forecourt told me I should hurry up because it closes promptly at 6pm. After entering the cafe, there were already other diners either eating or waiting to order. Great I thought. Upon ordering I got a serious feeling of not being welcome. The lady taking the order presumed I wanted a take away. I apologised for the lateness but would rather eat in. There did seem to be a communication problem, she either deliberately ignored me or it didn't suit her that I wanted to eat in. My food was prepared by another lady, who didn't seem to be bothered about having to prepare another dinner, in fact she was very helpful. Upon chatting to the second lady, I discovered she was actually the owner.she was a nice lady and because of her, I am prepared to give this cafe a second visit. I'm guessing I caught the first lady on a bad day.

Not bad. Food not as nice as it used to be and a group of loud shouting women and kids ruined the atmosphere of the place. Went for a quiet meal and couldn't hear myself think!

I would highly recommend taking a trip to lord stones . The food was delicious. The staff were great. Especially Adam. Nothing was too much for him. He was friendly, professional. Definitely an assett to them!!!!

Lovely food, scotch egg starters are amazing. Service fabulous, staff very attentive and friendly. Great atmosphere and good selection of drinks.

Fantastic staff who went above and beyond! They ensured I had a delicious meal (coeliac) despite staff shortages, a busy cafe and a few delivery issues. I've eaten here often when walking in the area and have always loved it. The offer to open the farm shop so I could buy a few items was appreciated too. Would recommend.

We were recommended to stop off here by our hosts at our Airbnb when we left. As it was Sunday breakfast time we thought this might be nice. We definitely wasn’t disappointed! A lovely cafe set in pretty surroundings and friendly staff with gorgeous food. I had a “starter” breakfast (bacon, sausage, egg and tomato on sour dough toast with a pot of tea and my husband had a sausage sandwich with a fried egg and an americano coffee with hot milk. Both came freshly cooked and tasted delicious. We thought the prices were very reasonable and very friendly service. Such a gem of a cafe! Glad we came. My husband visited the toilets too and said they were extremely clean. I’d recommend this cafe highly if you’re in the area … we were staying in Carlton so very close by. Fab cafe!
