The best restaurants in Pickering East Ryedale Yorkshire and The Humber

Yorkshire cream teas not good value for money Tiny sandwiches and awful sad cakes one pot of tea between 4 adults Eas really looking forward to it but won’t go again

Fantastic food, great service from staff and we’re very accommodating for our dog. Couldn’t have asked for a better pub meal, it was fantastic quality!

From the outside, The Buck Inn looked warm and inviting and as we entered the main bar area we weren't disappointed. A roaring log fire added to the already warm, friendly ambience. We were greeted with a smile at the bar and shown to our table. It was a Friday night and very busy so we were glad we had reserved. Drinks selection was good with a couple of decent local ales on tap. I had the Viking blonde ale which was excellent. The menu wasn't massive which I prefer, quality over quantity! I went for the black pudding and Stilton starter followed by the pork belly and mash. My wife had the soup, which was pea and spinach, followed by fish and chips. We both give our meals 10 out of 10. Service was quick and unobtrusive. The cost for the meal (not including drinks) was a touch under £50 which is excellent value considering the quality of the food. Overall a wonderful evening, great hosts and exceptional food.

Called in for a late breakfast while in the area. Staff are so friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere is perfect. Great mix of locals and tourists in the cafe. Food was amazing and the coffee was perfect mix of flavour and strength we had a full Yorkshire breakfast and the fruit porridge Both were perfect in presentation and flavour. So good we made a special trip back on our way home rather than going to Betty’s !

Had a great family meal here after being recommended by a local and we weren't disappointed. the place is hard to find but in a lovely location with a small lake. we cannot fault the place the service, food or location.

Decent choice of food available however we ordered pie mash Mushy peas and gravy. Only had 1 pie (so got a pasty as there was 2 of us) Mash was made from a jacket potato it was very lumpy tinned peas over blasted in the microwave served with a smile however forgot the gravy and it arrived half way through us eating the meal. Sadly this place could be a little gold mine if run correctly and proper attention to detail applied with the food. We hafmd our lunch at 12.15 so there was no way they could have ran out of mash? Could do better really

Stayed here Friday to Monday end of September and we were really lucky to have caught nice weather. The staff were friendly and welcoming - could not fault. We were shown to our lodge and had the hot tub explained to us and general fire safety rules etc. We stayed at the Levisham lodge. It was clean, warm and great views of the lake which had wildlife there too. The lodge itself had plenty of utensils and crockery to use. There was a flat screen TV fully equipped with Freeview and apps such as BBC iPlayer, Netflix and many more. There were fresh bath and hand towels on each bed, the rooms were spacious enough and had a comfortable night sleep, lovely and fresh, clean bedding. There was a nice touch with a welcome basket with biscuits, tea and coffee. The hot tub was lovely and clean upon using it, we were in it every day and night! Couldn’t get enough of the views! Very private as well which was great. We had a drink inside Spencer’s Bar and Grill on site, which seems to only be open end of the week/weekends at the moment but has a lovely welcoming atmosphere. Warm and cosy in there with a fantastic drink selection behind the bar! Big play park outside to keep the kids entertained. Also, went to the Black Bull Inn just opposite the site over the road, again, welcoming and warm and friendly atmosphere, great drink and food selection. If you fancy a walk into Pickering - it’s about half an hour walk along Malton Road to get there. It’s a quiet and friendly little place with a good selection of small markets and unique boutique shops. Definitely worth a visit. Will definitely return again to Pickering Lodges, had such a lovely and relaxing time. Everywhere is dog friendly which is a huge bonus for those who like to take their dogs on breaks away!

Just had dinner at the Forest and as usual it was absolutely first class , the service , the food, everything about it is top drawer ! We cannot recommend it enough for a pleasant meal or experience out!

Popped in today, a lovely cafe, good service. Had a frappé latte and a scone with jam and cream. All good tasted excellent and was good value. If you are in the area pop in, you won't be disappointed. 😊

What a lovely bakery, spoilt for choice.. what I did buy was beautiful & fresh 😋 I would definitely recommend and I will visit again.

We have ordered sushi from here a number of times, and we have yet to be disappointed! The rolls, hand rolls etc are so big and delicious, you are definitely full after eating here! Don’t be discouraged by the prices, ALL the food here is worth every penny!

Staff were excellent and very friendly and helpful

Nice bar....open late until midnight everyday. Does get busy. Finish serving on the stroke of midnight

Good food, well prepared, and with friendly staff.

Cash only environment so go figure which they only tell you about when you get there. Rude staff, place looks filthy but no different to how food is presented. Parmo tastes nothing like a parmo should, more like microwaved chicken and cheese. Chicken burger had to be thrown away after on bite as stale bread used and chicken was cold and tough. Avoid this place please for your health and sanity.
