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

Very quiet cosy restaurant good excellent food. Been quite a few times always good. Not cheap but worth it. Always have the scallop starter which are cooked to perfection.

After having a drive around Redcar and Saltburn on Saturday 28/12/24, my wife and I fancied fish and chips for lunch, so rather than pick a seaside chippy, we decided to go to our absolute favourite chip shop on the high street in Great Ayton. Sadly, neither of the two lads were frying and you could tell because the fish was overcooked and dryer than an Egyptian camel rider’s flip-flop. This is so unusual because normally the cod is cooked to perfection, beautiful brilliant white flakes of cod, cooked in a lovely golden batter. On this visit however, it was such a disappointing experience and made worse as the price of fish and chips is not cheap these days. This one bad experience won’t put us off but I think next time we’ll make sure it’s the lads frying as they tend to concentrate on the cooking and not gabbing as was the case I think yesterday.

Visited here for some lunch mid-week. After seeing the reviews we had high hopes but we were left a little disappointed when we found that our jacket potatoes were pretty cold- lukewarm at best. The coffee was great though, and we liked that it was dog friendly.

Yummy food, lovely small friendly atmosphere. Reasonable prices. Perfectly placed along the Cleveland way.

What a little gem of a cafe. Breakfast service is personal and welcoming. The menu was taylored to my choice and so tasty. Yet to enjoy the evening menu but it always looks so warm and welcome when I drive by in an evening.

I booked the upstairs room in the bistro, for the Ormesby bellringers dinner. Fantastically laid out, excellent food at affordable prices, and bar in an ideal location. The team were very helpful, and room at an appropriate temperature. We will most certainly be coming back next year for an Annual bellringers Dinner! Thank you

Visited last Friday evening after settling into our lodge and after a long drive from home. Staff very friendly. We had not booked but they managed to fit us in. Quite busy. Very good variety on menu and portions big. Great value for money. Starters of Cheese soufflé and deep fried Camembert (off the Christmas specials menu). Main courses - Chicken Parmesan, Chicken Fajitas, Turkey baguette, roast potatoes and gravy. Definitely recommend. Look forward to trying breakfasts next time we come.

Had a lovely lunch here with family. Excellent service and very friendly.

I booked this reservation online which was followed up with a quick response! 7 of us arrived and we were approached by friendly staff, that showed us to our table! We ordered our drinks separately from the bar, then a lovely patient waitress came over and took our order! Believe me we all wanted a little bit of this and that! She was so patient and had such a gorgeous demeanour! The food arrived! It was absolutely perfect, most of us had Parmo’s and one had a fish dish! The salad and chips along side the Parmo’s, were gorgeous. The staff were very attentive asking if everything was ok! This place is 10 out of 10! Well done to the staff who made our night so enjoyable!
