The best restaurants serving British food in Hambleton Yorkshire and The Humber

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.

We loved the great mix of specials and main menu all of which were fresh and very tasty. Service wasn't the best and beer was so so.

Another of our several visits to The Green Apple Cafe & Bistro. We love coming here when in the area. Comforting food and very friendly staff.

Fabulous menu choices with some healthy options - great coffee and a fabulous relaxed atmosphere.Staff were really friendly and very cheerful - will definitely be returning here 😊👍

Called into Osmotherley as a stop over on a motorbike ride. Smelt fish and chips and couldn't resist. Lovely staff serving great fish and chips which we ate sat on a bench overlooking an incredibly picturesque village.....a great Friday night. Will call again.

Good car very, fresh local food with plenty of choice. Friendly staff, a good meal at reasonable price.

Lisa's is the least pretentious restaurant but serves really staggeringly good food. Whatever ever is ordered it's always perfect and served by cheerful people. Excellent food and extremely good value. Thank you Lisa

This is a beautiful little gem of a garden tea rooms. They have a fabulous selection of cakes and other savoury and sweet baked goodies and are excellent for gluten free and always have a really good selection. Their afternoon tea is amazing!

Excellent restaurant. The food and service were top class.

Just had a fabulous Greek meal for two. Prawn, feta and tomato/ cheese saganaki starters, then swordfish and chicken souvlaki mains. Wonderful.

We love this place, such a warm and welcoming atmosphere and GOOD food. It’s causal yet takes the menu seriously. ❤️

Just finished eating my “Italiano” bagel (salami, mozzarella and balsamic). It was seriously fresh and tasty. Reasonably priced too for what is quality food.

Stunning food with generous portions sizes that'll leave you too stuffed for pud. The good news is their amazing and friendly team will be happy to box up your mains.

Very impressed with the Kings arms in the small village of Sandhutton. It is slightly larger inside than the external photos suggest. Rooms are well furnished. It's nicely located with major roads and attractions no more than 45 minutes away. What raises the King's arms up a level though is the quality of the food in the restaurant which for a couple of dishes I was served was approaching a la carte level. A broad menu with delicious excellent quality food, well presented and decent measures. The chefs are excellent.

I have been in Great Ayton for a few days and visited the chip shop twice, I have gave it 5 stars for good reason. Shop is immaculate and so clean, staff are so polite and helpful, but finally the food quality is superb. The cost for the food is also really good, opening times vary but if you are in the area, go visit it, as you will not be disappointed.
