The best restaurants in Hambleton Yorkshire and The Humber

My husband and I booked in with friends for Sunday lunch today and quite frankly the service and the food was appalling. The young lad who took our order was surly and unfriendly. We waited nearly an hour for our food which was over cooked and horrible when it arrived. The meat and roast potatoes ( which were so overcooked they were dried out and crispy) were served with no veg or gravy. We eventually had to go to the bar and ask for the veg which came in a small square pot which wouldn’t have been enough for one person never mind the three of us who had ordered the roast dinner. The veg was also over cooked and tasteless. Meanwhile the rest of the meal had gone cold. Even the dessert I had of a chocolate sundae was off. Never again…

Reserved a table online for a small family reunion. Clearly a popular spot and there were a lot of people milling around outside and drinking outside the pubs on the main street. Service inside was good and there was a good choice of food which was very tasty. Sadly there was a large group of well watered men booked onto the table next to us, in the area by the bar, which completely spoilt the last half of our meal as we simply couldn't hear each other talking. It was a real shame that staff didn't consider putting us in the other part of the restaurant where there were several empty tables all evening, or relocating us for the last part of our meal when it would have been obvious we could no longer converse or hear. .... this would have made all the difference. (It would have been awkward having to ask to be moved ... but care from front of house staff could have carefully relocated us.)

I visited on a Friday night, as part of a group of 8. Shortly after sitting down, we placed our order and it did take a very long time to come. That’s the only negative point though. The waiting staff were fantastic, the beer was great and the food as even better. I didn’t order a starter but had the Mexican Chicken Parma, served with chips and Cole slaw. It was a very generous portion, well cooked, extremely tasty and a real pleasure to eat. I enjoyed it so much that we have already decided to return for a Sunday Lunch. Highly recommended!

Just great all round, my boyfriend and I visit the Bay Tree often for drinks but today (a Sunday) we thought we should try out the food and my god have we been missing out. I had fish and chips and he had a pork roast - both were fantastic - his roast came with lashings of gravy and one of the biggest Yorkshire puddings I have ever seen, and more than enough veg. My fish and chips were lovely and the bill only came to 53 pounds with 2 courses each and a couple of pints, so extremely good value. I would and do recommend to anyone :)

Sunday lunch was fantastic and a fabulous price. Made to feel welcome and will definitely be going back.

Lovely local pub with a excellent food, beer and friendly staff

What can I say. Poor service after I ordered and was told my order would be with me in an hour. So when it got to one hour and 20 minutes later I rang again to be told they were very busy but the order had left the shop 10 minutes ago and would be with me in two minutes (I live one minutes drive away) so two minutes after my call the food arrived, driver ran from car to door took money not even an apology from him and walked slowly back to his car. The food was cold and just chucked in the box. Can safely say I won’t be ordering again any time soon, waste of £15 as most went in the bin.

Food was tasty. However the crusted cod ordered by 2 of our party was served with a very meagre amount of tiny pieces of crispy potatoes. It was like 3 chips chopped up. I pointed this out to the girl serving as it was more like a starter. She took it back to the kitchen and quickly returned to say chef was making some more. I had to laugh and I think even the serving girl was embarrassed when she brought me a tiny bowl you’d normally get mayo/ketchup in with another very meagre portion of potato pieces! Also it was meant to be served with creamed leeks and there must have been a leek shortage too! Saying that the other 2 party members had significantly larger portions, a gammon and a sizzler. When the plates were cleared I also informed the guy of the issue with the potatoes served with the cod. He asked the other person if hers was the same and she had said she wasn’t bothered by the small portion, she does not have much appetite and often has a starter instead of main. It’s a shame I came home hungry and I’m not a big eater myself. I’d consider going again but if you’re hungry give the crusted cod a miss! Edit 22/10/24. The owner rang me last week to discuss and apologise. He told me he would be speaking to the manager and would get back to me.

This is the worse I've ever seen in a jd Wetherspoons nearly every table littered with old dirty plates bar full of glasses to wash and 30 mins wait on food only 2 on bar definitely not recommend

I was staying nearby for the night and decided to eat here . I turned up without booking on a Monday evening and although it was quite busy they found me a table. I ordered a few dishes and I must say all very good. Great service and a nice venue.

Great Sunday lunch, it’s a must if you’re in the area. We’ll definitely be returning. Food was delicious, tasty and fresh.

Friendly local style bar, inexpensive drinks, not bad at all

We had a gorgeous dinner date night here when also staying in the Pool Cabin accommodation onsite. The restaurant is cosy, a beautiful autumnal vibe with wonderful service. We had the surf and turf which was divine! My favourite thing being the queenies! We’ll definitely be back! Never disappoints!

The staff were extremely friendly and went above and beyond for any request we had. Nothing was too much effort.

Fast service as always. Offers are always a little confusing.....
