The best restaurants in Selby Yorkshire and The Humber

This tearoom is a gem of a place. The staff are lovely. The atmosphere is wonderful. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The food is freshly made and delicious! If you like freshly baked, great food, you will be in heaven! If the carpark is full, you can park on the road in the village.

I’ve not been inside but the takeaways are my favourite in town. The chicken tacos are especially delicious and they are really generous with the cheese on the cheesy chips. Super friendly staff too!

We enjoyed a delicious lunch in this charming tea room served by friendly & smiley staff. Best pot of tea I’ve had in a cafe for years - served in pretty china. We’ll definitely return when passing again.

wonderful place now sadly closed down as of 20th March 2024

Excellent little sandwich shop that also offers very nice cakes. Well worth calling in.

Absolutely beautiful !!! Lovely food and huge portions, the waiter /owner was very nice and attentive. Definitely going back . A full 5stars from me !

Met a friend for coffee here. Wasn't expecting much during these times of covid, but it was a delight. Sat outside under an umbrella big enough to keep off a shower. Excellent coffee served by a very friendly young student waitress. Delightful people and a lovely little dog. Will be back.

Went for an outing to Selby today and called into violet's cafe for a bite. We were made very welcome and what a lovely place I loved the decoration even the toilet was well presented with butterflies. It bought back memories of our trip to Krakow.. My husband had a large breakfast and I had the small one the presentation was very good and was a lovely breakfast and there was plenty with 2 slices of toast.. If we are in the area again we will certainly go again.. thank you

Lovely little place. Very friendly and welcoming

Only have take away. Always seems busy inside. Nice staff a bit pricey but ok for a treat.

A lovely evening booked for my 60th with many friends and family. The team were amazing, service was fab. Food was fantastic huge portions think we all took food home with us. Even the chef came to ask if everything was okay with the food, don’t get that everywhere. Couldn’t have chosen any where better to go. Thank you so much Nick and your amazing team. See you again soon 👍🍾🎉

Me and my girlfriend have been on and off going here for a while, but sadly today was a poor experience. Living local, it’s an ideal dog-walking location to then stop in and have a bite to eat. Sadly, today was not a good experience. We walked in the main entrance and saw a couple of reserved tables and some that did not have reserved on them. With the front being very busy and people loitering, it’s not an ideal place for two people and a dog to stand when there are already about 8 other people standing. Immediately when we saw a table with no reserved sign, we went to sit down. Unfortunately, a young blonde lady asked, “Can I help you?” with a poor tone and, frankly, quite a rude and abrupt attitude. The other lady with dark hair sat us down, but by that point, it was, in my opinion, a sour atmosphere left from the previous staff member. A simple “Hi guys” or “Hello, how are you?” and then, after exchanging pleasantries, checking if there is a seat available would have made all the difference. In the end, we decided to leave before ordering. We told the blonde lady, who said, “I am sorry to hear that,” to which I replied, “Next time, work on your manners when people come in.” Disappointed, as the food is genuinely quite good, but unfortunately today, I am afraid you have lost a customer for the future! **T-Post replied on their Facebook page to the same review below, with my replies being calm and honest. The reason I am posting this here is because I want people to see what an organisation does when they lie about how customers act. When there was CCTV which shows myself and my girlfriend getting up and leaving calmly and how they reply and speak to people that have been mistreated in their establishment. please see their reply attached.. as you can see it was completely mishandled by the owners/management and my review stands justified. If the owners will speak like this from criticism and feedback and If owners and management will speak to customers or former customers like this and allow staff to act like this with this mentality, then my review is honest and quite frankly it will be down to the calibre of who they employ. ** **to further add TPost have said they will release the CCTV footage which I agree with**

I highly recommend!!! Delicious kebab and friendly service :)

On holiday in the area so always a gamble when you select a fish and chips from an untried plaice. Was too draw though, highly recommended

Very pleased to have found the chip shop on google, fish & chips were excellent as was the service. Those that know will already know it’s cash only but thought it best to add that in my review.
