The best restaurants in Ampleforth Ryedale Yorkshire and The Humber

Went for lunch yesterday and first class experience. Staff are exemplary, efficient, friendly and professional service. Spotlessly clean and well maintained pub and the food just spot on. As well as really good starters, we both had their famous scampi mains. If there is better scampi anywhere I would like to know! None of your frozen breadcrumbed stuff here just the real McCoy! Have previously had other mains which are just as good. Theakston’s draught Best Bitter really good too and at a very fair price too, unlike so many other gastro pubs. A real gem on all counts.

Food, customer service and value are consistently great at Hearts. Four of us just had a late lunch -the place was packed and still the service was friendly and efficient.

Excellent service and the meal was really good and reasonable in price ideal for a family meal

The Sunday roast was delicious!

Our third visit and second, overnight stay. A wonderful treat in the depths of winter. The food was even better than last year. Service was faultless as ever. Highly recommend for a special treat.

Lovely rural inn with very friendly owners, right opposite Byland Abbey. A great 2 for 1 dining, drinking and visiting experience.

A cold December days outside but inside the White Horse pub welcomes you with a lovely warm fire and a smiling, chatty barman . In for lunch, drinks sorted and menus provided, special board on the wall above the fire . Lovely lunch menu, great choice of hot or cold food , my daughter chose the soup and fresh salmon sandwich and I went for the Steak and Ale pie with fresh vegetables and lovely homemade chips . Plenty of parking at the rear. Lovely staff, great food, we will definitely return , All our food and drinks for £33-00 , very reasonable .

Stayed overnight with a couple of friends and had a great time. The rooms we had were smallish but absolutely fine. The shower was cubicle was small and there was a bit of temperature fluctuation, but plenty of hot water. Lots of nice little touches, chocolates, dressing gowns, sleep masks etc. The staff were all really friendly and helpful. We ate in the orangery, a lovely oak framed room, nicely decorated. The food was excellent, good sized and delicious starters, (The filo wrapped braised cheek and the leek and brie tart). For the mains, three of us had the steak pie which was superb, lovely shortcrust pastry filled with lots of tender steak. Our other friend had the beef cheek, which was melt in the mouth tender and also delicious. There was unfortunately no chance of managing a desert although they looked lovely. All in all a very nice break. The only minus point was that our friends were in room five and had a disturbed night sleep because the cellar cooler was under their bedroom window and was running all night.

Had a lovely meal here on Saturday night. Menu had plenty of options. Food was well presented, very tasty, price point good. Staff were friendly and attentive. Nice atmosphere.
