The best restaurants in Thornton Dale Ryedale Yorkshire and The Humber

We managed to very luckily get a booking here, the food was excellent, hosting and service was faultless. Fully recommend booking in advance as the gentleman said they were fully booked until February ‘25. As someone was leaving, they had booked for April ‘25. As they sometimes have cancellations, you could take a chance but I would just book in advance to save disappointment. Amazing and we will return.

I had the best scone I have ever eaten in my life and I am a senior citizen so I have eaten a few in my time! Delicious! Will definitely go back again.

Lovely place beautiful food and stunning cakes! Coffee some of the best I’ve had. Fantastic friendly team. Visited several times and always busy, great atmosphere.

Really friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The pizzas were fantastic as was the service. A hidden gem in a beautiful village.

Lovely bistro 100% recommend have been several times and always lovely food and lovely service

Arrived just before they stopped at 6pm...excellent venison burger, my wife enjoyed her but roast, really friendly service too

Really disappointed Booked a table for 2pm for 2 people. Arrived at 2pm to have no record of our booking. Got told we could sit anywhere we wanted, but got told to move as we sat on a big table ( the rest of the tables were reserved and that was the only free one in that room so we moved into the dining room. horrible start to the visit! On the phone when making the booking i got told there was a selection of vegetarian options, and the male who took my booking said he made note that we required one vegetarian meal, I booked here because of the selection of vegetarian meals. When ordering I asked for the vegetarian options and the only option was a meat roast without the meat. When asked about the other options i simply got told ‘no’. After driving an hour to visit this place, we felt we had to get food here. food came within 5 minutes of ordering (very very fast, too fast to be fresh that’s for sure!) we recieved one small pot of gravy, a small bowl of leak, turnip and cauliflower for 2 people! We got told the veg was for the bangers and mash and the extra gravy was for my meal. A VEGetian meals WITHOUT VEG?!? the veggie sunday lunch consisted of 2 small roasties, a small bit of lumpy, dry mash and 2 yorkshire puddings! for £13! the large bangers and mash consisted of 2 sausages and a small bit of mash absolutely soaked in gravy. we originally thought the waitress was getting more food from the kitchen, so waited & them realised that was it. after trying to get the attention of the waitress and failing, and her somewhat hiding in the kitchen and serving tables far away from us, we gave up. when clearing out plates, we got asked was everything okay? we answered it was alright but.. but the waitress was quick to inturpt asking if we wanted anything else. we honestly just gave up. there was no customer service displayed, and one disappoint after the next. £40 for 2 drinks and 2 bland meals, and we ending up feeling we were the burdens. i would recommend giving this place a miss. never been more disappointed and defeated about a place. customer service is very much lacking and the food isn’t worth the money.

Such a lovely place in a stunning setting. Excellent hosts and waitresses. Attention to detail from arriving, during the meal and when leaving. The food was top restaurant quality at pub prices.

We stopped here on our way home, for an ice cream and stroll around the village. Feeling a bit greedy - it was lunchtime after all - and we enjoyed a triple cone each. In the mix were limocello, coconut, ferrero roche, bramble, NY cheesecake and white chocolate. No pictures, we didn't let it hang around. Lovely and creamy ice cream, with good strong flavours. Great service, and good selection of cones, or if that was not your fancy, there were plenty of sundaes to choose from too. We will be back again to sample more flavours. 

"you enter as a stranger and leave as a friend" said the bar room sign which greeted this weary wanderer who'd taken a wrong turn. I ordered a pint and sure enough before it was pulled I was in conversation with a local man who thenintroduced me to the bar staff! The Sunday Roast was in full swing, the campers were in and out from the pub campsite and the occasional labrador was stealing hearts but nothing seemed to much trouble for the staff. This is a proper country pub, as warm and cosy as a storybook cottage and it's charm appeared to be working on a nearby American couple who's fantasies of an Olde English Country Pub had all just come true. I was on foot and was a few miles from the nearest town but lo and behold one of my new-found companions insisted on giving me a lift... As I exited the bar I glanced the "enter as a stranger and leave as a friend" sign again - this pub does what it says on the tin!

By far one of the best we have stayed in a lovely large bedroom , bathroom excellent, and the breakfast was excellent and the people that run the guest house where brilliant all in all a brilliant stay.

Popped in for a coffee and lush cake after walking in Dalby Forest. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere. Can sit in or outside. Dog friendly. Coffee was nice and had blueberry and banana cake which was lovely.

Busy around the cafés so decided to try Munch...what a great decision! The best sandwiches and service I've had for ages. Such fresh ingredients and the softest breadcakes ever😊😊

Not the cheapest but definitely one of the best. You don't mind paying a bit more for quality and this definitely was quality. All local produce and you can tell. We went out of season so was only open for the weekend or we would have gone back later in the week.
