The best restaurants in Pickering East Ryedale Yorkshire and The Humber

Nice hotel. Large outdoor rooms.

The food is so amazing there staff is spot on love having India from here well done

Stayed at the Beansheaf hotel for 6 nights recently as I was working in the area. The hotel is lovely, the rooms are clean and well maintained and have lots of little touches that you don’t get in big chain hotels. The owners are friendly and can’t do enough for you, nothing is too much trouble. Really pretty views too, loved that if you stood outside on a night you could hear the farm animals!! Would definitely recommend this hotel and hopefully I will find a reason to stay there again. Thank you for a lovely stay

I love this Chinese, I order takeaway, it always comes on time and is always hot, the food is so tasty, the delivery crew are so pleasant

This gem is only about 10 mins away for us. Always lovely visit. Had breakfast there this morning, Delicious. The garden centre always has plenty of choice.

Order food got table number we had dog went to dog area but full of people with no dogs so sat as close has possible to wait then to move Rude staff told us to leave you have a dog can’t sit their I explained it was full and answered with not are fault you have to leave

Noyon what can I say food was average at best. Edible but not really bang for your buck. We got in around 7pm on a fairly quiet Friday and after sitting down could reasonably understand why. The decor was very out dated and the rug maybe should’ve been changed a while ago. Nonetheless I had a chicken dish and my wife wanted her lamb rogan Josh as she’d become a fan of it in recent times. My dish was swimming in oil and very bland and frankly tasteless but the naan bread that accompanied the meal added some sort of flavour. My wife’s meal I’m afraid was far from impressive and may have deterred her from ordering another rogan Josh again. The lamb had a god awful smell and when the waiter had come to our table and observed the smell himself he immediately took it straight back into the kitchen. Credit to the waiter he hasn’t a clue what the chef had cooked and cut it off our bill while also given us the drinks we’d ordered on the house. It was a nice gesture but unfortunately I don’t think we’ll ever return there again.

Harry is the shining star at this restaurant, he’s so lovely and easy going, the food is immaculate and full of flavour, by far my favourite Chinese to go. So friendly and welcoming

Possibly the worst dining experience we have ever had in a pub. We should never have gone in after being warned there was a party of 18 booked, and had we realised how incredibly noisy they were going to be, we would have gone away. I had to take a tablet half an hour before eating, so my husband asked for us to be served in half an hour. The large party's orders were taken and the food delivered long before ours arrived, and they were ordering their desserts; a couple near us who had come in after us were served. I was getting anxious, because if more than an hour goes by without eating, my stomach tablet doesn't work. My husband had to go and ask about our order, because I was getting very anxious and also getting a migraine because of the noisy party, who were constantly yelling to each other. I went to the loo, which was up a step (so not wheelchair friendly, though the entrance is), which were less than clean, and one of the toilets didn't even have a seat. I mean, a new seat isn't exactly dear! There were a lot of signs up abut drugs, so it looks like there is a drug problem. My meal was there when I got back to the table, but it was barely edible. The chicken had been warmed up too long in the microwave and was too hard and overdone to eat, and the cheese was congealed and rubbery. They brought us a free drink to say sorry but we just wanted to get out of there as quick as we could. To add insult to injury, the large party had blocked us in with one of their many vehicles. The interior was dark and dingy and depressing. This was the first time we'd eaten anywhere in Pickering and we wish we hadn't bothered and just eaten in the hotel we were staying in, thankfully not this one.

This place has been going under different ownership in Pickering for around 50’ years. Our last experience some 6 months ago was poor. However the family has lifted their game and tonight’s meal was hot, very tasty and an overall great experience. The food hit the spot and was excellent at a good price. I was compelled to call them and tell them how good it was particularly as I told them last time (many months ago) how poor it was. Overall if you are in Pickering, you need to give Lees a try……

Called here for coffee and lunch. Waited 5 minutes and were shown to a table. Waitress said she'd bring over the menus. Stood around chatting to her colleagues, Menu never arrived. After 15 minutes we walked out. I don't expect the food to come immediately but I do expect a menu to be delivered within 15 minuts. Goodness knows how long we'd have had to wait for food if we had stayed. Don't even deserve the 1* I've had to give them.

Great afternoon in the beer garden. Excellent band, great atmosphere, we were made to feel so welcome. And bonus - free cupcakes! Highly recommend calling here, we will definitely be back!!

Pizza fed the foxes. Along with the garlic bread

Always a vibrant atmosphere in the wine bar, they've put on some decent new ale revenant an Irish beer Brenda's came into play as the Guinness shortage meant an alternative was sought. The beer was slightly more sweet and chocolaty than Guinness and I preferred it tbh. Then they put on a barrel of .urphys which was also most lovely. Always good music, all sport on TV and its generally the busiest pub being open from 10am to midnight 7 days a week. The bar staff run by Kieran the manager are always polite and courteous and they're dog friendly with pool table, bar football table, 2 dart oards plus interactive darts with offers on drinks promotions to boot. A fun atmosphere for all. Highly recommended.

We booked a table for four,at the Black Swan 26th April p.m . We were looked after by a lovely girl called Izzy (a credit to the Black Swan). We had very nice starters, nothing special but very nicely prepared. Our mains were very nice ....except the latest craze in many pub/hotel restaurants is to charge for what they think of as an "extra" , well when I order fish and chips why do they feel that a charge of £1.00 for Tartare sauce and £1.50 for a small pot of mushy peas is ok? And why if you order one of their pies , it's an extra £2.50 for GRAVY !!. But that's ok as it's your choice but I still think it's a cheeky little ploy. What has made me write this review is the attitude of the manager when I offered some constructive criticism. The pies are advertised as being served with" chunky chips", but what they are actually served with are chip shop chips as served with the fish and chips. When I pointed this out to the manager, I was told in a very hectoring voice that the chips were "chunky", so I asked why the chips served with the fish are not advertised as" chunky", to which I was told , they are both the same thing. She would not have it, that the menu says differently. We were trying to be helpful , hoping she would perhaps speak to the kitchen about it. If the manager reads this , please try to remember that the customer is always right...even when they are wrong......(yes sir , oh thank you for your feedback, I'll talk to the kitchen about it, I hope it hasn't spoiled your evening.) The bill for 4 was £120 so not expensive but also a bit above pub grub prices (1 bottle of wine). It's a shame because The Black Swan is the nicest pub in Pickering, but please train up your restaurant manager.
