The best restaurants in Ryedale South West Ryedale Yorkshire and The Humber

We stopped in here by chance as we were passing and have since made a second trip. The visiting party included ages: 42, 41, 10 and 11 months. There is plenty of space (tables not crowded together), it wasn’t too loud, the chairs are comfortable and it’s bright and clean. The menu is to die for, particularly if you like pancakes and waffles (but plenty of other options), the food really well cooked and the staff efficient and friendly. My 10 year old has decided she wants to celebrate her 11th birthday there which is a big tribute to a new place as she’s autistic and finds new places often overwhelming. Would definitely recommend!

The bakery department made me two amazing Tiramisu Roulades today for a bonfire bbq, they were amazing to look at and delicious to taste. Thank you for going above and beyond for a very happy customer

Very clean and great food, staff very welcoming and friendly, love the food

Poor experience. Booked for 5pm, planned to have carvery but the queue was ridiculous and would have taken at least 30 minutes to get food - they shouldn't let the queue get that long, it spoils a family meal out when you have to eat in stages and spend so long queuing. Ordered off the menu instead, went to order and was told they have no fish at all so two of us had to get alternatives which neither of us really wanted. The food we did order took far too long to arrive, probably about 40 minutes. Kids play area for under 5s had lots of older kids in it, our 2 year old couldn't play on stuff because of the older kids hogging it.

Nice restaurant and pleasant atmosphere. Staff were friendly and attentive, good service. Food was unfortunately disappointing and is now priced too high in my opinion. For starter I had Chicken, pork & pistachio terrine, pickled radish, pistachio mayonnaise and crispy leeks (£9) The Terrine was quite dry, with not enough of the pickled radish/acid elements to balance it out. The mayo was a nice addition and enhanced the overall pistachio flavour delivery of the dish, crispy leaks were a complimentary finishing touch. For main I had Fillet steak, blue cheese arancini, beetroot puree, asparagus (ran out of the baby gem lettuce) and a port reduction. (£37.50) Fillet steak was significantly overcooked, with so little of the port reduction that I had to order a separate peppercorn sauce (£4.50 for some unfathomable reason) after it was served. In hindsight it was my mistake not to send this back. The blue cheese arancini internally had great flavour & texture but had been burnt on the outside. The asparagus was undercooked likely due to them only realising they were out of baby gem lettuce after my order had been taken and they had started the dish as I chose from a selection of alternatives. The beetroot puree was watery and grainy, not executed well at all. All in all, good dishes in theory but executed poorly. Shame about this, must have been an off night as I've been half a dozen times before and always had a good experience. I'll return again eventually expecting their usual quality does too.

This place used to be amazing. Unfortunately it is now a run down poor excuse of its former self. We pulled into the car park almost sure that the restaurant had closed down. The place looked in a state of disrepair with paint falling of the walls and window frames. We were just about to leave when a member of staff came out and assured us they were open. Dubiously we went in, remembering how great it used to be. Inside, the decor was not much better, it was very tired, in need of some TLC and investment but as we were the only people in the place I guess that investment won't be coming any time soon as this place cannot possibly be trading very much longer unless it survives on take-away trade. Upon taking our drinks order, we were disappointed to be informed that they had no beer (draught or bottled) so had soft drinks. Unfortunately the disappointment didn't stop there as when our main courses came out, one was inedible and the other extremely salty to the point where it was only just edible. To be fair, the staff did offer to replace both of our meals, but we felt that the damage was done and just wanted to leave. I would strongly recommend you avoid this place, it is certainly not what it used to be. Such a huge shame.
