The best restaurants in Appleton Roebuck Selby Yorkshire and The Humber

Great touch to our hire boat experience, it’s near millennium bridge and the ice cream is Beautiful and you can pull your boat up to the side of it which is great fun.

We had our daughter's birthday tea here with about 5 friends (she is in a wheelchair). We booked in advance for a Saturday and the staff made us a birthday cake on request. The food was lovely and service friendly and helpful. We have done this twice now.

A lovely old Sam Smith's pub which is clearly a very popular local. Comfortable & cosy with some interesting artifacts around the rooms. Open only Thu-Sun at time of writing (August 2024), we went for the 4pm opening time to celebrate my mother-in-law's 94th birthday - she was born in the village of Appleton Roebuck in August 1930 - and the bar quickly filled with folk who were clearly mostly locals. The chat was bubbling and the atmosphere was very pleasant. To the best of my knowledge the pub doesn't currently serve food. There is a large beer garden but dogs are not allowed anywhere in the pub, stars off by this reviewer for those two reasons.

Staff are friendly and helpful. Room was clean and bed comfy. Paintwork looking a bit tired, could do with a refresh. Opening window which is a bonus. Air con also. What let our stay down was the Thyme Grill restaurant. Not half as good as Beefeaters. Very small portions. Steak was tasteless and anemic. Bought a meal deal but wished we hadn't.

Called to make a reservation, but got an answer machine saying they must be too busy to answer the phone... so we called in on spec on a Friday night for a meal (as staying at a local'ish hotel), and the place was in darkness, so presumably closed for good?

I visited over the war weekend, very friendly staff. good value. would recommend stopping for refreshment. I got a much better reception here than I did at the public house in Grosmont.

Very sad we no longer have a burger King in york
