The best restaurants serving British food in Ribston Harrogate Yorkshire and The Humber

One of the best places I have ever stayed. Amazing staff. Peacefull setting. Great food and relaxed guests.

Food was very tasty although we'd all have preferred a larger sized portions for the price of the meals! What was disappointing was the price of a non-alcohol beer which cost £6.00! With the 10% service charge that was £6.60 for a bottle of beer! I can buy this drink in the supermarket for under £1.00 so the mark-up in my opinion is unacceptable.

We visited the pub for dinner on our way to Northumberland on 30.12.24 .. the almond crusted fish was delicious, the Christmas crumble was perfection. The staff were friendly, the atmosphere was welcoming .. we loved it .. so much so we called in for lunch on 1.1.25. The pub was packed at lunchtime on New Year's Day and we thought they'd turn us away .. they didn't and we had another fantastic meal. I can't wait to return. 10/10.

Desde el primer punto de contacto con Patricia, la planificación y ejecución de mi comida de cumpleaños fue de primera clase. Patricia es tan experimentada, y fue rápido para responder a las preguntas enviadas por correo electrónico. 15 de nosotros disfrutamos de una magnífica comida de tres platos con vino (fuimos con las recomendaciones de Patricia). La comida era excelente, sin excepción todo el mundo disfrutó de su comida y no había un trozo de comida en la mesa! Nuestra familia es amante de la comida y grandes comedores y las porciones servidas en el Victoria son generosas. El personal de servicio en nuestra habitación privada era todo amable y sonriente, nada era demasiado problema. Gracias Patricia, Steve y todos en el Victoria, volveremos! PS un montón de aparcamiento y se puede llegar aquí en un tren desde Leeds, Harrogate o York, ya que está junto a la estación de Cattal.

Having visited the Tontine several times in the recent past, we looked forward to a nice Sunday lunch as a family.The visit was marred by underwhelming customer service, requests for water took several attempts before being served, the staff seemed uncommitted to delivering much of a service, and the food , frankly was at best average.I’m afraid that in view of the negative impression we had, it will be some time before we return, there are so many good local places to eat, it really is a disappointment to have to be so negative, must try harder would be my advice.

Nice appearance but it ends there We were asked for our orders before we had ordered drinks we had to ask for a wine menu. A bottle was then plonked on the table unopened. The starter arrived very quickly after which was bland and warm at best. As soon as we had finished we were Told to go to the cavery and the chef would carve our meat. The display did not look appealing the Beef was pre sliced and was swimming in a sauce I made the mistake of having Gammon it was dry and grey around the edges. All of the vegetables were dry and over cooked. My wife had Lasagne which was again bland and was swimming in oil and fat. We did complain and the Duty Manager came and was very apologetic and said they would not charge us. We did not complain for free food. For £19.95 you can not expect fine dinning but do expect it to be edible. As we were still hungry we both had stick toffee pudding. This was hot in the middle but cold on the outside the sauce was cold and very watery the chef clearly did not leave it in the microwave for long enough. All around the hotel they are pushing an app to showcase the facilities and menus. Whilst talking to the manager we asked why we could not have the al acarte menu she knew nothing about it.

Noticed today - 13th November 2024 - some work being done on the entrance - so this lovely pub may be opening again soon.

The rooms were functional, well-equipped, and clean, which is exactly what you’d hope for. However, they were quite cold, and the heaters made a clicking noise throughout the night while trying to maintain the temperature, which was a bit disruptive. On the positive side, the breakfast was lovely, the service was excellent, and the curry we had for dinner was also really nice. A few tweaks to the heating would make the stay much more comfortable, but overall, it was a good experience.

Christmas lunch,… your expectations when you pay such a price to eat out, good value at least…. Well…. to say what the cost was for process turkey, poor service, gravy when we had to actually ask for ( unbelievable ) was like water, and the vegetables…. bowl full of mush (nephews description) only full of parsnips… was terrible …, I would rather next year go for a take out… it was that disappointing!!!

Nice food friendly staff, was very quiet in there probably due to time of year(mid December) rather than the venue

Eight of us visited The Kestrel for lunch. We were greeted and shown to our table immediately. The room was lovely and warm with a nice atmosphere. The waitress was friendly and efficient, she brought crayons and a puzzle page, for my grandson without being asked. Some of us chose the Christmas menu which was available without ordering in advance. We all had two or three courses and everything was nicely cooked and presented. Hopefully we can visit again soon.

Mi esposo tomó un desayuno completo y dijo que no hacía mucho calor. Tuve un huevo y tocino bap y fue encantador. La taza de té estaba muy buena.
