The best restaurants in Ryedale Yorkshire and The Humber

From the warm welcome on entering, the excellence of the front of house and waiting staff to the amazing food. The smoked haddock and cheese souffle was sublime. The lamb dish was cooked to perfection. I look forward to my next visit.

Nice to find a very dog friendly coffee shop. We had coffee and scones which came at a very reasonable price. The shop within had a beautiful selection of quirky gifts, just about to move to Pickering and can see this being a regular stop off.

The cafe is really lovely and cosy and the staff so nice. We had intended having the proper breakfast which looked amazing but due to having a 3 course meal booked elsewhere early evening decided to just have a bacon sandwich which in itself was good and plenty of it but a big no no was it came on seeded bread. In my opinion bacon on seeded definitely is not on. My husband enjoyed both of them though. Please inform people that’s what it comes as I’m sure I’m not alone in thinking this. Otherwise lovely coffee and atmosphere

Visiting the area, booked this for a birthday treat. It didn’t disappoint, on a horrible wet, windy evening, the Bar area and Restaurant were warm and welcoming. Staff very friendly and service excellent. The food was lovely, generous portions, beautifully presented. If you are in the area give it a try!

We stayed for bed and breakfast here. The house is in a beautiful peaceful setting overlooking meadows. Hosts very friendly. Comfortable bedroom. The TV reception is scrambled and there is no phone signal - so I would recommend enabling WiFi calling on your phone and bring a book 😃

This pub was recommended to us so we went for Sunday lunch. It was amazing value for money and fantastic food. We will definitely be going again.

We had an amazing stay and meal yesterday. Gorgeous room and gorgeous food! 10/10 - highly recommend!

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

Great coffee and great food. Always pop in here when I am in the village. Great selection of food and cakes. Lots to chooses from and fresh bread to takeaway. Sarah's cakes are to die for.

A very old fashioned tea room. Mismatched China and crochet blankets. Dogs welcome and good coffee and my husband enjoyed a generous blonde. Wasn’t keen on the smell of what was possibly vegetable soup lingering in the air, reminded me of school dinners. No vegan options as far as I could see.

What a little gem of a place this was! I was looking to find somewhere a bit different and quirky to celebrate my sister’s birthday and this did not disappoint in any way! The cocktails were brilliant and the owner guided us in our choices. Intimate, great ambiance and the perfect choice for the start to our evening’s entertainment! Thank you!

We called in for a coffee and a look around the little shops on site. The coffee was lovely. We then booked a table to return for our lunch. There was a nice choice of sandwiches, panini's, soup, daily specials, homemade cakes & scones, tea, coffees, milkshakes & cold drinks. The staff were very friendly and efficient & the coffee shop had a lovely relaxed atmosphere. We chose the ham cheese & red onion chutney panini which came with a side of crisps and dressed salad with a pot of tea with a cheese scone to follow. The tea was served in lovely vintage china crockery & the panini was very tasty indeed. It can take a little while for your food to come especially at busy times as it is all prepared and cooked to order, but it is well worth the wait. You won't be disappointed 10/10

We love Helmsley and fancied afternoon tea. Having tried to book at a couple of local places, we popped into Number 12 as we walked from the car park. I had afternoon tea, my husband had a farmhouse platter. Absolutely delicious, great value and huge portions. The ham was top quality, sausage rolls were delicious and I had the best treacle tart ever as part of the afternoon tea. Do go and eat there, you will not be disappointed!

Be aware there is no mobile phone signal.The Cross Keys is a small village pub which provides accommodation, with the pleasantly decorated rooms in a separate building. Fresh milk was provided on arrival for a much needed cup of tea. Food is served in the pub every night which is good news for those walking the Yorkshire Wolds Way.After a good night’s sleep and breakfast, I collected my pack-up lunch and left Thixendale having been made welcome by Steve and Mary throughout my stay. It was great value too.

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!
