The best restaurants in Pickering East Ryedale Yorkshire and The Humber

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.

We stayed for bed and breakfast here. The house is in a beautiful peaceful setting overlooking meadows. Hosts very friendly. Comfortable bedroom. The TV reception is scrambled and there is no phone signal - so I would recommend enabling WiFi calling on your phone and bring a book 😃

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.

Just returned from an outstanding meal at this lovely bistro. The food was delicious and made from seasonal local produce. The service was exceptional- especially the lovely young guy who was amazing. Lovely personal touches of homemade chocolates and fudge after our meal- really not needed but so yummy! We don’t live locally but those of you who do are very lucky to have this in your doorstep. But we will definitely be back as it’s worth a trip just for another meal here!

What a great little find! Coming from Scarborough we’d never been for a light lunch in Pickering but we called in today to be greeted by a familiar accent. All the team were super helpful and when I told them I had a dairy intolerance they knew just what to do to make me feel at ease. I would throughly recommend this to everyone! Top food, top service and most of all top people x Thank you

Wow. Just wow. We had read the reviews prior to booking and fair to say it did not disappoint. On a very busy Thursday evening they managed to squeeze us in. The restaurant was vibrant and seemed all customers were buzzing which made the atmosphere very enjoyable and welcoming. We’d come with a party of 4 and loved every minute of it🥳 we had a range of dishes going from the traditional “nutritious” rogan Josh to the house specials of sylheti lamb. The flavours were exceptional and all varied in spices and taste just the smell alone had us all salivating🤤 the lamb was so unbelievably tender it’d just melted in your mouth. It was truly exceptional. Restaurant was immaculately clean and tidy and could see the staff took pride in their work everyone beaming with a smile it truly made it so welcoming. At the end of the meal the amazing manager Akil came over and got us all a round of complimentary drinks which had just put the icing on the cake of a truly brilliant experience at this fine establishment. We all can’t wait to go back and will plan a visit back to Pickering so we can visit once again. Keep up the good work guys!! Will see you soon😝

An ambience place to eat, great food and the staff are on the ball 👌

This was a lovely find after our big 16k hike well deserved beer 😂, the staff was lovely, the pub was cosy we sat next too the fire place to warm up, the food looked amazing but we didn't have food.

Excellent meals, such light batter on the fish bites and curry sauce to die for 😋 recommend the 'hot' curry, absolutely delicious, can't recommend the place enough 🤩 we ate in 😍

Average food, awful service. Remember; if you truly, truly want to pay your bill, you'll have to ask 3 times, then go to the counter yourself to pay when you're ignored.

Welcoming & helpful staff, lovely room & amenities (great mini bar if we wanted it!), nice shower etc & great breakfast. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable and we felt right at home relaxing in there after a long journey. The road is noisy during the day, but the second sash helped to cancel it out so slept well. Sadly they weren’t serving evening meals when we went, but Gemma recommended a couple of places and booked us a table at a nearby gastro-pub, which was excellent! The parking was spacious and secure & the location was fantastic for a short stay in Pickering. Good value for money for 1 night B&B. The only issue I had was the bathroom light (on a motion sensor and timer) went off mid-shower so I was flailing my arms to get it back on and got water on the floor. Minor issue and just a bit funny really. Will definitely return! Thanks to the lovely team - both front of house and behind the scenes.

Fantastic place to call for Fantastic food and a drink

There was an extremely poor choice for anyone who can't eat gluten. Considering gluten free bread is widely available and easy to freeze they really don't have any excuses. The pre packaged cake offered I've had before and is very dry. Considering I can make amazing gluten free products at home which are easily frozen, again they have no excuses. Shame on you.

Tuvimos nuestra fiesta de Navidad aquí en el cómodo. La comida era deliciosa y el servicio era excelente. Tristán y su personal se aseguraron de que tuvimos una buena noche. Sin duda volvería a reservar.

We ended up at The Buck Inn completely by chance after failing to get a table at Forest Holidays – and honestly, I’m so glad we did! The food was proper home-cooked comfort at its best. The steak and ale pie was packed with rich, tender meat and wrapped in perfect pastry, while the venison curry was full of flavour with just the right amount of spice. Both were so good we were determined not to leave a single bit – and we didn’t! The staff were lovely, welcoming, and chatty, making us feel right at home. If we’re ever back in Yorkshire, The Buck Inn will be top of our list – next time, on purpose!
