The best restaurants in Ryedale Yorkshire and The Humber

Outstanding. We could not fault a single thing, the food is incredible, Liz is a wonderful host; her enthusiasm for the food and wine is amazing and she really took the time to talk to us about every dish and the wine pairings. Loved, loved everything. Please visit, you will not be disappointed

Excellent cafe, very nice staff and had a great breakfast , extensive menu, food well cooked and delivered in good time , cakes look nice too , large menu

What a lovely place a peak back in time the sandwiches were fresh and had plenty of filling. Then the cakes, had fresh baked scones and cake what better way to spend a couple of hours on a miserable weather wise Thursday,the tea loaf was to die for and the mini Victoria sponges were great( had to save for later). The staff and locals were great and had a good time putting the world to rights. Thanks to all including the lovely local old girl.

A little hidden treasure! Everything was just perfect. Super hosting, delicious food and great service. We were extremely lucky to get a cancellation and can’t wait to visit again.

Great food, quick service, pleasant atmosphere and lovely staff, friendly and welcoming. We went for an afternoon snack and thoroughly enjoyable. A really good experience.

Have had Pignut on my radar for a while and we came in for a family lunch over Easter. It was a wonderful meal - very friendly and knowledgeable staff who are clearly passionate about their work. Especially interesting but tasty wine choices.

Our first time at FortSix and it won’t be our last, it didn’t disappoint at all. We went with family for Sunday Lunch and although it was very busy the service was excellent, there was no waiting around and when the food arrived it was hot and delicious. It is very good value for money, the portions were more than generous, so much so that I couldn’t eat it all (although I did leave a little space for the dessert sharing plate and I’m pleased I did, it was superb) and I never had any more to eat for the rest of the day! Definitely going back.

Just had a 4 night stay at Chestnut Cottage, next door to the Bay Horse pub. The cottage had everything we needed. Very cosy and comfortable. The hosts Hayley and Sam were on hand if we needed anything. We ate in the Bay Horse and the food was exceptional. Great atmosphere and the staff friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend both the cottage and the pub. We will return.

Hearts was recommended by some local friends and it was a convenient stopping place from home to Thirsk. We had some lovely leaf tea and there own made cakes including a Rascal that was easily as nice as one from a famous larger establishment in York. The gluten free options were also good and not just the usual brownies.

Nice to find a very dog friendly coffee shop. We had coffee and scones which came at a very reasonable price. The shop within had a beautiful selection of quirky gifts, just about to move to Pickering and can see this being a regular stop off.

Lovely warm welcome from what I assume was the owner. My husband said it was one of the best sausage sandwiches he has ever had, good quality sausages. I had the gluten free bread with poached eggs, had to ask twice if it was gluten free as it was that good! Owner makes it herself. Poached eggs were perfect. Will not go anywhere else when visiting Helmsley. Little gem of a cafe that deserves to do well.

Located on a farm, family run and providing a warm welcome. Excellent locally produced food well cooked and presented. Attentive service, good value, comfortable - excellent experience all round Recommended.

Really friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The pizzas were fantastic as was the service. A hidden gem in a beautiful village.

Salvatorri makes the best cocktails for miles around. In fact counties around. We live in Nottingham and there isn’t a single cocktail bar there that is a patch on The Angels Share. Salvatorri is a man who takes genuine pride in his craft and it comes through in his drinks. And the atmosphere is great too. Tucked away in the loft of Helmsley Brewery it’s a lovely intimate friendly place.

We went yesterday with two of our friends for lunch. Food always very good and friendly efficient staff. Glad this is our local to go to tea room. Great value for money and all baked by the owner. Thoroughly recommend.
