The best restaurants in Wheldrake York Yorkshire and The Humber

The Speckled Hen was a tad too cold for my liking but still very good. The Guinness was excellent. This establishment is spotlessly clean and has a very friendly and welcoming feeling. As for the staff, you couldn't puck a better bunch of people with a computer. AND I can definitely recommend the food!

Cheap but very well kept. No bookings required just turn up and play

Stayed here with friends over several nights.the property needs urgent refurbishment and staff retraining. Receptionist and night porter together with the waiter in the Fat Abbot all haveappalling attitudes and create a very poor impression .All were extremely unhelpful and appeared to dislike their jobs which reflects in their service

I knew the tea room was vegan and was happy to go with that but £26.80 for two vegan sausage sandwiches and coffee for two was a bit beyond a joke. The sausage were rather bland and tasteless but made tolerable by the fact they were absolutely lathered in onion relish. I’ll not rush back.

Lovely place,cottage nice and clean and very cosy with the log burner lit. Would definitely stay again staff lovely and friendly,good food too.

We had a lovely meal. Sharing a starter platter, then a variety of mains..curry, noodles, rice. Everything was cooked to perfection and was very tasty. Thank you x

We came here for afternoon tea for a recent celebration after hearing excellent things about it. Unfortunately, we left feeling very disappointed. On arrival, the restaurant was very busy and we were seated at a table at the back of the restaurant. It was some time before a drinks order was taken from us. The savouries on the afternoon were really nice but we felt one more savoury choice would have been a better balance when compared to the selection of sweets. We found the sweets very disappointing, whilst they looked the appetising, they were quite unpalatable. The brownie was very dense and, I would say, overcooked. The cheesecake was very cheesy and had an unusual flavour to it, the berry compote was tart and the biscuit base was just like dust. The mini jellies were difficult to eat as the cutlery didn’t fit in the glass. The pastry case of the lemon meringue tarts was rather like cardboard and the filling tasted artificial. To wash everything down a cup of tea would have been welcomed, but sadly no one returned to us to take a hot drinks order. We ended up getting up to ask. Even then, no one bothered to ask if everything was ok. Thankfully, we had ordered a bottle of fizz (admittedly, without looking at the menu but you expect to pay say, £30 max. for a bottle) and when it arrived it was sparkling wine. Brownie points for being an English sparkling wine however, when we then checked the menu, we whinced at the £42 price tag! Had our experience been stellar, we would not be so aggrieved but all things considered, we did not feel anything was worth the money.

Loved everything about this place and will be back again.

Visited the Wheldrake village cafe with a friend who was new to the area as I had had some lovely lunches in the past. So disappointed. All that was available were ready made paninis which had been made 2 days earlier so we shared one of those as they are quite large. Definitely on the stale side, dry and unpleasant eating. Was offered a freshly made pesto and cheese panini which was OK. Can only think all the effort goes into the Designer Outlet branch. Doubt I'll be going back.

Precioso pub rural. Personal amable. Almorcé el domingo. Muy decepcionado. Pollo, brócoli, zanahoria y gamuza, patatas asadas, pudín Yorkshire directamente del congelador y en el microondas. Un montón de golpe. Gravy era insípido. Mínimo esfuerzo máximo beneficio.

A really nice surprise to find this fish and chip shop in a layby off the a19 near Escrick on the way home from work. Very nice welcoming couple. Chatted to everyone. They take your order on arrival. Sausage and chips for me. Excellent. I will be definitely coming back when I am in the area again next month. Ample parking. Disabled access and toilets.

Called in for a late lunch. Food was very good, honest, home cooked food. Sat in the bar side as we had our dog with us. Staff were friendly and helpful.

I took my friend here for her birthday 19th December afternoon tea and must admit a bit disappointed although the sandwiches and cakes were as shown there were no fish and chips they also wanted to add a considerate service charge without asking I did manage to get it removed topping is a personal choice although not totally disappointed I would have to think about returning sorry you did not impress me
