The best restaurants in Yorkshire and The Humber

Authentic Italian cuisine at is best,friendly knowledgeable owner/staff nice ambience what more can you ask we definitely will be back very soon.

We were looking for a new venue to have Sunday lunch and decided to try the Dog and Gun at Knayton ………we were not disappointed! This village pub has had new owners since August 2024 and we can thoroughly recommend a visit. It is only a short distance off the A19 in the small village of Knayton. On arrival we had a fantastic welcome from the new landlady Paula and we were made to feel very welcome - just like long lost old friends! We had reserved a table and this is must as it gets extremely busy, especially on Sundays. The Sunday lunch menu has a choice of five starters and six main courses and if you are vegan or vegetarian there are some options. The roast dinners are locally sourced grass fed beef, free range pork and free range chicken - it is so rare to find meat/chicken of this quality and this shines through in the dinners. The portions are excellent with crispy proper roast potatoes, large homemade Yorkshire puddings, fluffy mashed potato and seasonal vegetables. Everything tastes homemade, which it is, and the dinners that we had came piping hot. We could not fault anything, so well done to the chef Lucy and her team. It was the best Sunday lunch that we have had in a long while and we have had a few! The service was excellent and Steven who served us was very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. It was hard to believe that the new owners, who have never had any experience in the hospitality industry, had only been in for a few weeks so huge congratulations to them and I am sure that they will be hugely successful in their new venture. We were so impressed with this village pub that we have booked to go again. We would highly recommend this village pub, but be sure to book first to be sure of getting a table.

Visitamos recientemente por mi cumpleaños. El restaurante era encantador, buena comida y personal amable. La coliflor crujiente sabía encantador, pero no era crujiente desafortunadamente. Las salchichas picantes de cordero eran preciosas, aunque solo 3 para dos de nosotros, 4 salchichas sería mejor! Los langostinos al ajo y al chile estaban súper (¡necesitábamos pan para trapear la sabrosa salsa!) compartimos las mejillas de res que de nuevo estaba preciosa. Tenemos que volver el próximo verano, ya que el patio exterior parece encantador para sentarse. El único inconveniente en invierno sería visitar los baños que se encuentran en el patio, necesitarían un abrigo! Pero no dejes que eso desanime a nadie, esto se debe a la disposición del edificio antiguo que realmente no se puede cambiar.

A pleasant warm welcome as we arrived. The menu is very chic and our meal was absolutely delicious, attention to detail with the starter, main meals & deserts were all outstanding! Beautifully served by Martha & Meg, very attentative with an extremely busy restaurant, thank you. All the staff are very friendly and helpful, nice to see a well co-ordinated team! As we were leaving, we were given a little gift, a packet of wildflower seeds by Rose, from Pranzo's, such a lovely, thoughtful gesture! My mum is 84 and we've visited Italy, Venice on many occasions - Pranzo's Restaurant, especially their freshly made cuisine, would certainly not be out of place! Well Done, Excellent all round! 💖

A fantastic dining experience from start to finish, we were absolutely delighted by everything we received from being greeted at the entrance to being looked after at the table & leaving.

Bit dingy lighting, given that the cafe is deep back to front. The teacake was delicious but only scantily buttered and not around the edges, so ask for extra butter. A serviette would have been nice. Taylor decaf tea was extra weak, ask for an extra tea bag to get a bit of taste

Good old fashioned traditional Yorkshire Cafe. Enjoyable hot breakfast & tea cooked fresh to order . Negative, would have preferred butter on toast instead of magarine.

Very dark could hardly see my food. Pizzas very soggy, needed a knife and fork. One size only. avoid Not so cheap either . There are better pizzas very near by

Lovely interior and roadside appeal and polite staff Good choice of menu for most We enjoyed our sandwiches and the chips also the lemon drizzle but the ‘coffee & walnut ‘ cake was seriously lacking the coffee ??? Could hardly taste anything in all honesty Disappointed in that

Visited twice recently. Excellent, friendly service. Amazing breakfasts (eggs Benedict & smoked fish hash pictured). Ever changing specials board (pulled brisket beef burger pictured). Incredible range of delicious cakes and lovely coffee. I really can’t recommend this place enough.

Great service by Fede, friendly and informative, Food well presented, Smoked arrancini nice, Sea bream looked very appealing, bruschetta Nduja, flavourful without being overwhelming, Puttanesca with octopus, tasty and rich, though a little light on olives, those who had desserts enjoyed, limoncello cheesecake very refreshing

I Would definitely recommend coming eating here, the staff are so friendly and food was lovely and tasty. The cocktails were very nice also

We came upon this cafe while searching Helmsley for somewhere to eat. Having looked at a lot, hotels, cafes, Italian restaurant etc. we decided this filled the criteria we wanted, a good choice of menu, clean, tidy & popular with really competitive prices. 2 of us had quiche of the day ( broccoli & cheese) served with jacket potato, salad, coleslaw & crisps, it was an ample plateful which we couldn’t finish. Our husbands went for the cheeseburger with bacon, served with chips, salad & coleslaw. Both said their meals were delicious too but my hubby struggled with the amount of food. The portions are extremely good so I would recommend going when you are really hungry. It appeared that it was run by husband & wife team, wife cooking & husband serving, clearing & cleaning tables & making drinks. We were there about an hour, with a busy turnover of customers, some not getting in at all, approximately seating for 22-24 so timing is crucial, we bagged the last 2 pieces of quiche, which was lucky, so be warned.

Great burgers, large portions, lovely staff. Reasonable prices and a quirky cowboy vibe. Whats not to like. Totally recommend for all burger enthusiasts

Lovely cafe with nice surroundings, the food was gorgeous and the staff were friendly and efficient, especially the lovely lady Carolynne that served us. We will be back!
