The best restaurants in Saxton and Ulleskelf Selby Yorkshire and The Humber

On my birthday, we always go to Akbars in York as it's my favourite Indian restaurant outside of Bradford. I was disappointed to find it is closed and I really couldn't decide where else I wanted to go. Living in Sherburn In Elmet I've been to most of the Indian restaurants in this area, and while they are all OK, I have never been blown away by any of them. I stumbled upon Jahan Lounge just through doing a Google search on local Indian restaurants and thought I'd chance it, and thank God I did. The restaurant is tucked away in Scarthingwell Golf Club. There is ample parking too, which is handy. you need to go upstairs in the club building to get to the restaurant. The restaurant is tastefully presented with a nice ambience, and there is a good selection of drinks for all at the bar. The food is literally to die for. It is up there with the best curries I have ever had. I had lamb chops for starters, which were perfectly cooked and so tasty. For my main, I had a keema karahi, which wasn't on the menu, but when I asked, the waiter said, " No problem, sir, we can make that for you" The curry is what blew me away. It is probably in the top three meals I've ever had in my life. The chef here is at the top of their game. If you like a good curry, this is the place to go. I am so glad I have found Jahan lounge because I no longer need to drive all the way to Bradford anymore, I have found a hidden gem right on our doorstep.

Friendly village pub with great food and great company. Dog friendly

We went for a meal here whilst visiting friends in the area on Sat 19th Oct. First impressions was the bar /restaurant area was very scruffy & not clean. We were seated in the conservatory part of the pub & were given menus by a pleasant waitress. She looked after us through out the evening very well. Also, the manager treated us well so no concerns with the staff. The concern came when my wife's meal arrived. She had ordered minted lamb pie with saute potatoes. What came resembled a desperate Dan pie filled with large pieces of new potatoes & 1 small piece of fatty lamb. Also, she had wedges instead of saute potato. We were all concerned over her meal so called the waitress over to explain that this was not what we ordered. In fairness the food was replaced with an alternative dish & she was semi happy but didn't like the potatoes. There were apologies but there was no hint of a courtesy drink for her & no thought of a reduction in her bill for this inconvenience. Also, when we paid we didn't leave a tip, just paid the bill & we got a snooty look from the lady taking payments. So, to recap I felt the pub was grubby, the waitresses were very good, the food served to my wife was totally unacceptable & the response from the lady taking payment was unfriendly. The other 3 meals were a 5 out of 10 so not a place I would rush back to if I lived in the area.

Gorgeous food. I had the pizza and it was like being back in Italy. Husband had the burger and said it was one of the best he's had. Fantastic wine list also and lovely friendly staff

sadly disappointed with this venue The food was ok plenty of it Our biggest concern was it was so cold that we ate our lunch in our coats I know that energy bills are high at the moment...but some heating would of been nice....my phone suggested it was 13 degrees...im of the opinion if you are open for business then your customers should be happy with food....drinks....and warmth

Lovely food yet again. Staff very attentive. Fourth visit now and well worth it. Quality of food is very good. Atmosphere in Bistro is nice. Will be visiting again.

Disappointed. Firstly we arrived, the car park was busy. Seemed people park there that aren't visiting the pub. Very small for the establishment. We had to drive around twice to eventually find a parking spot. Our drinks order was taken quickly and then our food order was taken. Great 👍 The food came. The fish and chips was a good size portion. The roasts on the other hand. Very thin pieces of meat. Large yorkies. OK veg. Now the roast potatoes... I'm not often disappointed by roast dinner veggies. However these roast potatoes were the worst I've ever tasted. My knife wouldn't even cut them the skin was like leather! I have no idea how they managed to get them like that. Inedible! The service was slow and seemed stretched for the amount of tables. We asked for a dessert menu and one was never brought, after finishing our drinks we left without ordering. Would not rush to come back for the food.

We come most days to the cafe for a coffee with our dog Leo I highly recommend a bacon and mushroom sarnie always spot on Staff lovely always give a little treat to Leo as well he loves coming here

First class everytime. Been coming to the White Swan over the past 2 years while I am in the UK on business. The hospitality shown by John and Di is first class. The food is always exceptional whether having a sandwich for lunch or a 3 course meal in the evening. I often stay over in the new rooms that have been built at the back of the pub, clean, comfortable and homely. Really is a perfect country pub.
