The best restaurants in Selby Yorkshire and The Humber

Lovely venue, however there a lot of teething problems that need addressing. When we walked in the lady turned round and said sit wherever before turning back around again. This is fine but it did feel like a bit of a cold welcome/first impression. When we got to the table there was only 1 menu for the 2 of us and that was a piece of paper covered in food. I’m unsure on other drinks being on the menu but we had to ask for the wine list. I have eaten here once before and we had fabulous table service, it’s sad to see they are no longer doing this and you have to go to the bar to order. We ordered steak but unfortunately it was sold out, it’s always very very quiet in there so I guess maybe they don’t order in a lot of produce. We ate early tea time so I was surprised they didn’t have any but we decided on something else. Which reminds me we had a table booked late last year for 18 of us. I ended up getting a call on the day of the reservation to be told we could only pick from 3 main meals and that was pie, a fish one and a veggie option.. sadly no steak or burgers then, so we was left with no choice but to cancel our meal and go to the plough where we got to pick from a very large varied menu. Back to our last visit, when the starters arrived they tasted really nice and we was off to a good start.. However when the main arrived, all I can say is picture eating your burger out of a very pale French bread roll, it wasn’t the best. I ended up leaving the bread and just eating the beef on its own, again this is new because I have had the burger before and it was in a lovely burger bun. The burger also had a small pot of mayo on the plate but sadly it was all slimy with a thick layer of hardened mayo on top, which of course didn’t look very appealing. I can only imagine to save time they pre pour them and have them in the fridge but don’t cover them in cling film to keep in the moisture in. Unfortunately no one came to ask if the food was ok and even when the plates were cleared away, we was greated with pure silence. There is next to no atmosphere in the restaurant, this time there was a few other tables in but last time sadly only 1 other table, it would really benefit from some back ground music.. or if there was background music it needs to be slightly louder as I’m pretty sure it was silent in there. At this point we had an hour to spare but didn’t want to stay and drink or get a dessert, we very quickly wanted to leave and go elsewhere. For such a beautiful venue and a slightly higher price point, the service and quality didn’t match that.. sadly I understand why a lot of my local friends & family choose not to eat here. It’s a shame because other than the white horse & the plough, there isn’t anything else locally that’s a bit more premium where you can enjoy your weekend evenings. A lot could be done to make this place a success and fill all of those empty tables.

What a treat to call into a pub for lunch without tumble weed. A well stocked and well supported pub. The menu can be picked up and ordered from the bar. Hearty fayre. We enjoyed a Sri Lanka curry as well as a beef and Stilton pie. Both were delicious. The pub also seems well supported by locals who met in there for a catch up. Dogs seem welcome. Car park round the back. Welcoming atmosphere,would definitely go again

Fresh food sourced locally! Friendly staff! Excellent homemade cakes! Well worth a visit, we're now regulars!

fish and chips on friday are excellent, been there regularly also drop in for a pint , large sign on entrance re parking and on doors leading in to pub so a few idiots who don’t look or read signs.

We were not picked up by Drive, a taxi company in York that no one must use. After a walk from Leeds east Airport we ended up here at the Fenton Flyer. We were welcomed with open arms by staff and guests. They arranged a local taxi so we finally made it back to York. We are eternally grateful ❤️

I am a regular customer in the coffee lounge...or I was until today...the manageress'nails are disgusting. Fake over grown with gunge behind them .also comments on social media her customers look horrendous fake wrinkly and pasty...she really isn't very nice...Will not be going back .!!!!!!!

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

I have visited this restaurant frequently over the last 15 years under two different ownerships. We have celebrated special events here, my husband has his 40th, my daughter her 21st and numerous meals on Christmas Day. To say the quality of the food and customer service has plummeted is an understatement. We were served cold dry onion Bahia and undercooked naan. This happens and I get that. But when we fed this back the manger struggled his shoulders walked off. We were told a replacement would be the same. Wow!!! Safe to say we won’t be going back

Very disappointed! Haddock was grey and chips not freshly cooked. Looked like they'd been refried about 3 times. Not what we'd expect from a Yorkshire chippy

Always great. The food is delicious and the service excellent and always friendly. We have been several times now and never been disappointed. Would thoroughly recommend!

Food was terrible and all drinks were flat. Felt uncomfortable to be in the company of a racist landlady, even checked her Facebook after and I saw various hate speech’s shared including both racism, religious hate. Would not be visiting here unless you are also as thick as she is. God only knows what’s said in the confidence of privacy if this is what’s shared publicly.

We've just had takeaway fish and chips with peas and they were INCREDIBLE ♥️ Definitely recommended!

Asked for a gin and tonic. Ice and a slice of lemon Bar maid replied. " I don't bother with lemons and that" so no fruit slices in any drinks... civilisation is dead....!

Have driven past so many times for years without trying it - finally did so and it was pretty good actually. Tasty curries, good chapatis, decent starters. Not world beating and not the cheapest, but I've certainly had a lot worse.

Delicious food and desserts. Great atmosphere.
