The best restaurants in Helmsley Ryedale Yorkshire and The Humber

Booked a table online which was very simple to do. We arrived for our meal and the staff were very welcoming and we sat at our table straightaway. Service was great and quick. We didn’t wait long for drinks and our starters came soon after. The main course arrived not 5 minutes or so after the starters had been cleared. A great all round service and highly recommended for nice Italian food.

An amazingly good meal . Everything just beautiful . Go , go , go ! Unfortunately , we couldn't stay as the bedrooms were fully booked , but I hope we can come back another time . We loved the meal , the wine pairing and the staff . One of the best meals we have had.

Ok, so, It's been a while since I have had felt the need to write a review. However, PIGNUT! You forced my hand, my darlings!!! A friend and myself came here in November 2024, for dinner. We were blown away. The courses are so perfectly chosen, wastage - although doesn't sound too appealing, when you hear that it is called so because it is made from the remnants of left overs so that the restaurant is as sustainable as possible. It draws you in! Story telling, and the wine is almost as good as the food! TRIUMPH!

The food was average & quite pricey but the temperature was very cold on Saturday morning in this cafe & I suffer from a circulation problem so not good

What a gem of a place. Whilst staying in Helmsley we found this place and just loved everything about it! The decor, atmosphere and of course the cocktails were amazing. The host was friendly and very welcoming, I just wish it was our local cocktail bar. Would definitely recommend.

We love Helmsley and fancied afternoon tea. Having tried to book at a couple of local places, we popped into Number 12 as we walked from the car park. I had afternoon tea, my husband had a farmhouse platter. Absolutely delicious, great value and huge portions. The ham was top quality, sausage rolls were delicious and I had the best treacle tart ever as part of the afternoon tea. Do go and eat there, you will not be disappointed!

This Restaurant has Gourmet Food which very rich and delicious we were very welcomed and the Staff very friendly and helpful and polite there was such a selection of food on the Menu amazing first Class , it is very expensive but you pay for what you get and on a one occasion you got to go its a must when your on Holiday or day out or visiting this is the place to go .

On a busy Saturday night, the service was slow, we started with sourdough and labneh & dukkha, then shared their rarebit on a flatbread with a nice sauce, that was the highlight. I followed with cod and monkfish with mussels, the fish was good but the mussels with it were cold. My wife chose lamb rump which was also cold and was undercooked. We cancelled a second booking.

A big thankyou for responding to my letter. Was at Helmsley and received breakfast sandwiches and coffee. Delicious and gentlemen very polite. Keep the good work up. Also cheese scones lovely.

Cold seating area, constant draught from adjoining staircase. Young, poorly trained staff.

Your first challenge in Helmsley is choosing a cafe. There is lots to choose from. We decided on Manion and Co. (Based on the amazing-looking fruit scones in the window) We received a very warm welcome and were told there was a wait, but it would only be 10 minutes, which it was. The interior was full of character. I chose the pork sandwich, and my wife the sausage and egg sandwich. Both lovely. The sandwiches are expensive, but it is worthwhile when they arrive. They are worth every penny. I then ordered the scone I had been waiting for, and it didn't disappoint. I am a bit of a fan of scones, and this one is up there with the best. The staff were all very attentive and friendly. It is a lovely cafe; we will be back. How it should be done!

Stayed a couple of nights as B&B guests. Lovely big room and large ensuite bathroom with both a roll top bath and 'wet room' shower. Huge comfortable bed. Very enjoyable stay - the couple who own it went above and beyond in making it a delightful place to stay. Breakfast is in the cafe - they don't do fried 'English breakfast' but you choose what you want from the cafe menu. Good coffee - was needed after a heavy night out in Helmsley.

My husband and I have just returned from a fabulous Christmas break at the Pheasant Hotel - and it was wonderful to meet up with so many lovely people that return from year to year. The efficient hotel manager and his lovely staff, all go out of their way to ensure that you have a wonderful time, and nothing is too much trouble. A gem of a place, in wonderful setting!

If you want fast food don’t go here. If you want good food served by friendly staff this is the place for you. The food was excellent and the staff were courteous and very friendly and welcoming I can recommend this place.

Brilliant little cafe, we stumbled across this little gem while looking for some breakfast and we was amazed at both the price and the quality of food. Staff were very friendly and the seating was brilliant loved the music on the first floor we had an amazing time and this will definitely become a spot we come back to again and again on our trips to your
