The best restaurants in Ryedale Yorkshire and The Humber

The Brass Castle Tap House is typical of the genre and is reasonably roomy and nicely done out. Obviously, real ales are the principal raison d’etre here and from the ones on offer we chose the best bitter which was in excellent condition and very good. The atmosphere was also very nice and we enjoyed our visit.

A lovely place for coffee and food

Great good portion Sunday dinner, first time having a meal here would definitely return I had the turkey dinner , turkey pig in blanket stuffing mash roast potatoes cabbage cauliflower leek carrots, yorkshire puddings meat gravy. Friendly staff great customer service.

What a great little find! Coming from Scarborough we’d never been for a light lunch in Pickering but we called in today to be greeted by a familiar accent. All the team were super helpful and when I told them I had a dairy intolerance they knew just what to do to make me feel at ease. I would throughly recommend this to everyone! Top food, top service and most of all top people x Thank you

Eaten here multiple times. If you want to be full happy and completely content with either breakys , lunch or t this is the spot. Always on point delicious food. Mouth watering while you eat. Staff super friendly and make sure you are well served to match the food. O and if you have a nice dog could get a little treat too. Fantastic spot

Arrived at The Middleton Arms at 6pm and was greeted by James and Mandy(said hello to the chef as we walked past kitchen window) shown to our seats. Ordered drinks at the bar then James came for our order. Fish and chips for me lasagne salad and chips for the birthday boy steak and ale pie for the son fish goujons and chips for granddaughter and sausage chips and peas for grandson. We all really enjoyed our meals and would recommend you to try.

Called in today for a coffee and a sandwich. Pleasant, helpful and friendly staff. Fantastic coffee. Comfortable seating area.

Fantastic small cafe, gorgeous sandwiches reasonably priced. Great portion of chips. When in Helmsley, will definitely go there again.

Well. I'm 62 years old and been eating bacon sandwiches all my life. I have got to say that the Bacon and black pudding sandwich I had at this lovely little cafe was the best I have EVER had!! Ok it was £8 but the home made bread,3 rashers of dry cured back bacon and a nice slice of Doreen's black pudding was marvellous. My wife also had the most amazing gluten free chocolate torte. Staff were also very attentive and friendly. Will definitely be going back very soon .

Very well looked after in there food very good great staff

We started visiting Groovy Moo around 6 or 7 years ago and would call in for an ice cream literally every week and sometimes two or three times during the summer. They prided themselves on their huge "Yorkshire portions". The quality of the ice cream is second to none and we love it. However just after Covid they increased their prices, understandably, but also reduced the portion sizes significantly from 5 flavours to 3 with a large tub. They tried to say you get the same portion however this is nonsense as we have photos to show how they used to be, We didn't go for quite some time but recently started visiting again. Yesterday we called in and I asked for my usual large tub and the young girl serving gave me around a half to two thirds of the week before. I questioned this, giving the opportunity to top it up but she didn't. There needs to be more continuity of portion sizes. I just left feeling annoyed and the £5:50 paid was definitely not worth it. I think it will be a long time before we go in again. I love ice cream and the long drive for us would be rewarded with a good value ice cream portion, sadly this is no longer the case!

Very tasty home made sandwiches prepared while you wait followed by great cake, all in a fabulous setting. Check opening hours before making this a part of your day out

Wonderful tea room in the beautiful village of Lockton. The cakes are fabulous and there’s plenty to choose from. The coffee was very tasty too. They have a selection of local artists work for sale too. Nice people.

This is our second visit in two days! Lovely food and excellent service. We will definitely come again. We had soup and cheese scone. The bread and scones were home made.

Customer service here is always lovely and thoughtful - the very best. Beautiful gardens and a gorgeous 16th-c wisteria-clad building - we all had a lovely time here.
