The best restaurants in Ryedale Yorkshire and The Humber

We are walking some of the coast to coast and are staying at the Black Swan. We realised too late that the information we received from our travel agent about this restaurant was outdated. It used to be a creative dining experience, but now it is pretty terrible pub food . look elsewhere.

It's like finding an oasis in a desert. This place is lovely. It's clean, quick and the food was great and reasonable. Located in the village part of Dalby Forest. Approx 3.5 mi into the woods from Thornton-le-dale. The trail is marked but recommend taking a map as well. For cars it's pretty obvious with a car park nearby. The village area is accessable for everyone. After the walk in from Thornton, this was a lovely half way stop. Very much enjoyed my wrap. Friend had sandwich, also very good. Service was spot on. Thank you

Lindsey and the team never disappoint at this lovely country pub. In our opinion this is certainly the best Sunday lunch anywhere in the Ryedale area. We visited again after a few months break over the summer and the standards remain really high and reminded us what we had been missing. In addition to the food the welcome and personality of all the staff is first class. We live a little way away but intend to visit far more regularly in the future.

This is the most disgusting donner meat and chips I've ever had first and last time il be buying from here. I cant even eat it :(

CS was impeccable as was the food, great setting and speedy service. Thank you for a fantastic dining experience whilst we were visiting Flamingo Land ❤️🙏❤️

We had a really good experience here yesterday. Spent the day at Flamingo Land and chose this place for food as wanted something more substantial than burgers/hot dogs etc. Good beer and a lot of alcohol choices to have with the meal. I also thought that the drinks were good value for money for a theme park. We ordered: Mozzarella sticks Loaded fries (the chilli and cheese ones) Chilli Tacos Beef birria sandwich Kids burger and chips The portion sizes were great and the food was really tasty. Also good value for money. Loses a star as we had to ask for cutlery and then search for some ketchup. But overall, I would definitely eat here again on another visit to Flamingo land. Finn, the guy who served us was also very friendly.

2:30pm on a Tuesday, I ordered my favourite, half chicken with chips meal, lady at cash desk went to kitchen to check and came back with the bad news, they were out of stock. Out of stock! It's a large supermarket with hundreds of fresh chickens for sale, it even sells hot roast chickens freshly roasted, couldn't they get one of them. Come on Morrisons get your act together. On a plus note the cafe looked clean and tidy and the toilet was ok.

Having not been in here for a while I ventured in this week wondering if it was still the nice welcoming place I remembered from my last visit. I am pleased to report it still is. Rach remains the friendly, professional anchor and recent recruit Sally seems like an excellent addition to the staff, who of course are the most important ingredient in any cafe. Thoroughly enjoyable experience and I am more than happy to recommend it.

Ordered veggie and American hot pizza for delivery to Premier Inn, Pickering. Food was delicious. Will order again when next in Pickering.

Lovely clean pub, nice atmosphere, staff welcoming and friendly. Well behaved dogs allowed (on lead) dog bowls available on request if not seen. Always nice and warm inside, covered ouside area next to a newly cleared Pickering beck. Hand pulled beers, ciders, wines. Guinness, many different Gins and soft drinks. Reasonable prices, would reccommend. Books are available to read at the pub. along with many games for children and adults alike to play. Seating with beckside views available inside and out.
