The best restaurants serving British food in Middleham Richmondshire Yorkshire and The Humber

Delicious food. The place is quite unique, especially the decor. Service not the best, we only had one drinks menu between 6 that was given a while after the food menu. Staff didn’t tend to listen to what we said or pay much attention to the table. Overall would recommend as the food was very nice with lots of choice on the menu, we loved the map of the local produce they use.

A very quiet pub when we went in, real ales were great and kept well. I did find out this pub is up for sale so maybe that is why the atmosphere was a bit lacklustre.

What a gorgeous, welcoming pub/restaurant this is! Recommend by East Witton Shepard’s hut whereby it has absolutely lived up to its positive reputation! Alf could not have done enough for us, checking and refilling our drinks with the most attentive and kind service, thank you so much! Will travel 3 hours for this again anyday!!

I have been staying in Middleham for over 20 years now, in either January or February. I think I have tried most eateries for Sunday lunch. I wanted to try the Blue Lion as it has great reviews. The reason I did not try it before , was the price. So this time I thought, lets go for it and cant wait to experience the great Sunday roast. Now I could say so much about this, but I am not wasting my time, so here is a summary. I was given a table in the middle of the bar area ( after asking to sit next to the fire when I originally booked ) Met by an aragount barman and felt he did not want me in his bar. Glass of HOUSE wine over £12? Now I am from Kent and understand prices, but £12, a joke. Roast dinner, and pud over £30. 2 pieces of beef ( taste very good, but cold ) 2 roast potatoes, but soggy and not crispy at all, the Yorkshire pudding, awful. Now I am no chef, but I do eat out alot. My opinion is this, my food was sat under the pass to long. Also, by booking was at 13.30. I had completed my meal by 14.10. I was rushed and one of the worst experiences I have ever had. Over priced, and not worth the money, I will not be coming back. The sticky toffee pudding, was obviously store bought due to its perfect size, heated in the microwave I bet. The one positive I will say. I forgot my wallet , they trusted me enough to go, once I returned to my residence, I made full payment. I am still confused about the positive reviews, maybe I was unlucky.

We were very lucky to book a table for 7 of us on a Saturday night at short notice! The hostess was so lovely and so accommodating as we had a 2 year old dining with us. 4 of us had steaks which we all requested to be cooked differently and each one was absolutely perfect. So so tasty and thick. Some of the party had pork and they said it was incredible! So beautifully presented and even the 2 year old finished every bit! We had space for desert and were not disappointed! My dad had the sticky toffee pudding and he said he was the best he had ever ever had!! A really lovely atmosphere. The wine we had was delicious! We were so very well looked after and the team called us by our names which I thought was an amazing detail. Would absolutely recommend! Do not miss it! Will come again. Thank you team!
