The best restaurants in Ryedale Yorkshire and The Humber

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.

Quite but we have to queue, short of staff

Lovely meal as usual. We always visit here when in Malton. Staff very attentive to our needs.

Wow! Ordered a kebab and chips to be delivered. Massive is an understatement. It’s not often I have a takeaway so I’m very pleased I only ordered 1 portion to share. Super quick too!

it doesn't matter what time you order food it should always be eatable. orderd chicken about 11 it come cremated my tip is if you order chicken from here make sure its sooner than later ? the later it gets the more the chicken becomes dry thay think its OK to sell it

We were a large party of 7 with a dog and they managed to fit us in on a Sunday without booking. Staff were very friendly and attentive. We had just missed the carvery so had the filled Yorkshire pudding. Portions were great and the food was delicious. Highly recommend!

Walked in & back out! Entrance was filthy & the cups that staff were using for customers, there were 3 or 4 flies landing on them. We left when seen this and told girl member of staff they need a fly zapping machine. She said she just worked there. Nothing like any other Costas we have been in. Very poor

Fabulous spot to sit in the sunshine or inside. Lovely welcoming lady who also allowed us to bring our own fish and chips to the outside tables. A very pleasant 3 hours spent there and we will be back. Good selection of beers, wines and gins too (because we tried them 😋)

Great location and atmosphere with singers on x lovely clean room with view over the square. Friendly accommodating bar staff will definitely be back

We had a very nice lunch with a friendly service from start to finish and good food. As another reviewer had commented, too many dogs, one in particular was very vociferous throughout our lunch. The owners were oblivious. We are dog lovers and have owned them in the past but we feel that everywhere you go to eat these days dogs are almost always allowed. The Courtyard Cafe has an outside seating area which ok isn’t great when it rains but please Castle Howard consider providing a dog free zone. Thank you.

Best takeaway in Malton, great food and great friendly staff.

Food was nice although I didn’t pay so can’t comment on the price. The tables outside are very tired now and could do with changing. Other than that it’s a lovely break halfway through the daffodil walk and perfect for watching the birds feeding in the cafe garden.

This is a very inviting pub but had originally gone for food as the reviews said, however we was told by the lady behind the bar that they Don’t serve food. So we had a drink then left, nice staff though.

Very delicious Sunday roast with gorgeous desserts, super friendly hospitality … we’ll be back

We stopped and had a really nice beefburger bacon batch with lovely fresh old-fashioned chips the service and the staff are brilliant this is a big motorbike stuff in place as well I would really recommend
