The best restaurants in Ryedale Yorkshire and The Humber

Dining out with food intolerances can often be a minefield, but my recent experience at The Derwent Arms was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I mentioned my gluten and dairy restrictions, the staff were incredibly accommodating and reassuring. The menu, while featuring classic pub favourites, offered plenty of options that could be easily adapted. I opted for 2 courses for 12.99 and had tomato soup with gluten free bread for starter and cheese burger and chips, and the kitchen staff were more than happy to modify it to suit my dietary needs. The result? A truly fantastic meal. It's rare to find a pub that not only understands dietary restrictions but also manages to deliver a meal that tastes just as good as the original. There was no sense of missing out, or eating a bland substitution. The Derwent Arms has proven that they are a pub that truly cares about their customers. If you're looking for a warm and welcoming atmosphere, combined with delicious food and excellent service, especially if you have intolerances, The Derwent Arms is a must-visit. I left feeling completely satisfied, and I'll definitely be returning.

Me and partner got recommended here and the food was amazing. So much flavour. We have been to many Thai restaurants before but this one is the best. Our only critique is we wish the music was more appropriate for its settings.

Donna n chip wrap was good tbh, large kebab also good, the only thing was it was a large kebab 4 options available and it was roughly the size of a medium/ Small, but it was tasty and spot on. Cheers 👍🏻

Having arrived in Malton late afternoon we wanted to relax over a casual meal. Loving Salt beers this seemed a logical choice. Had a selection of pizzas which were all good as was the beer. Went back 2 days later with similar results. The only gripe is that the staff on both occasions were very casual in their approach leaving tables without cutlery/knapkins and popping in and out of the hall at will. Has great potential with dedicated staff.

I ordered some pizza they said it will take 30 min but it took about 1 hour and when I called he hang up on me with very poor attitude I’ve been their customer for about 2 years and that’s how they treat me.

We were driving back to Inverness in the Highlands of scotland, after spending a week in scarborough and passed this small coffee shop. I was absolutely desperate for a cup of tea, so my partner ran in quickly to get some hot water for me so I could make one in the car since I had my own tea bags and milk with me lol He said the 2 women that were working were very helpful and lovely. Very good customer service and a nice wee place to sit and have a hot drink. Thank you for your help. We visited on 20th March about 1430.

One of the nicest fish and chips we’ve had for a while. Perfect batter, lovely thick fresh fish, and great chips - not soggy and not too crispy.

Really lovely cosy pub with great food and even more fab staff. Whole variety of meals and every one was delicious. The lovely staff have personality and interacted with the kids.

Stayed overnight with a couple of friends and had a great time. The rooms we had were smallish but absolutely fine. The shower was cubicle was small and there was a bit of temperature fluctuation, but plenty of hot water. Lots of nice little touches, chocolates, dressing gowns, sleep masks etc. The staff were all really friendly and helpful. We ate in the orangery, a lovely oak framed room, nicely decorated. The food was excellent, good sized and delicious starters, (The filo wrapped braised cheek and the leek and brie tart). For the mains, three of us had the steak pie which was superb, lovely shortcrust pastry filled with lots of tender steak. Our other friend had the beef cheek, which was melt in the mouth tender and also delicious. There was unfortunately no chance of managing a desert although they looked lovely. All in all a very nice break. The only minus point was that our friends were in room five and had a disturbed night sleep because the cellar cooler was under their bedroom window and was running all night.

Not only is this our favourite pub in Malton, it’s one of our favourite pubs anywhere (and we’ve been in rather a lot!). The Blue Ball is a timeless example of a traditional local pub. With its cosy little snugs all served from a small, central bar that is almost like a kiosk, it is a fabulous place to enjoy excellent beer (the Wainwrights is top class), pleasant company and excellent service. If I had to suggest one “must visit” place in Malton it would be this fabulous little pub.

Booked a table for valentines and was delighted with the service and food, the place was impressive clean and the waitress Gemma was great contribution to the business. Food was hot tasty and arrived quickly. Highly recommend can't wait to visit again. We'll done ✔️

Popped in for a quick pint saw they were making home made pizzas . Had a pizza and a pint combo along with a game of pool while I waited . Absolutely delicious. Was well worth been late home . So took one home for the wife too. . Happy days

A warm welcome from landlady Rachel at this traditional Farndale pub. Well kept ales on tap and a decent Rose wine slaked a thirst on arrival followed by a plump Sirloin Steak and trimmings and a plate of crispy scampi to keep us fed. Excellent value for money and all the traditions of top class inn-keeping can be found here in the glorious setting that is Farndale.

Once again not enough staff. Had to clear a table of used crockery to get a seat. This is becoming far to regular an occurence.

Had a lovely meal here on Saturday night. Menu had plenty of options. Food was well presented, very tasty, price point good. Staff were friendly and attentive. Nice atmosphere.
