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

We had a really wonderful night at The Hare. The food was absolutely stunning and the rooms were cosy and comfortable, with an excellent rolltop bath. Liz and Paul were such good hosts: coming to The Hare didn't feel like coming to a restaurant, it felt like coming into someone's home for a perfectly curated and utterly wonderful evening. Reviews I've seen online don't mention the breakfast: this is an essential part of a good stay, and The Hare delivered the most wonderful tray of goodies to the table in the morning, as well as hot coffee and a good chat. Other restaurants with rooms in the area may be better known, but The Hare is an absolute treasure.

What a lovely place a peak back in time the sandwiches were fresh and had plenty of filling. Then the cakes, had fresh baked scones and cake what better way to spend a couple of hours on a miserable weather wise Thursday,the tea loaf was to die for and the mini Victoria sponges were great( had to save for later). The staff and locals were great and had a good time putting the world to rights. Thanks to all including the lovely local old girl.

A little hidden treasure! Everything was just perfect. Super hosting, delicious food and great service. We were extremely lucky to get a cancellation and can’t wait to visit again.

I had the best scone I have ever eaten in my life and I am a senior citizen so I have eaten a few in my time! Delicious! Will definitely go back again.

Ok, so, It's been a while since I have had felt the need to write a review. However, PIGNUT! You forced my hand, my darlings!!! A friend and myself came here in November 2024, for dinner. We were blown away. The courses are so perfectly chosen, wastage - although doesn't sound too appealing, when you hear that it is called so because it is made from the remnants of left overs so that the restaurant is as sustainable as possible. It draws you in! Story telling, and the wine is almost as good as the food! TRIUMPH!

Another fantastic meal at Forty Six . The restaurant have recently launched a new menu, so we thought we’d pop in try it . Arrived 5 minutes early , our table was ready for us , we were seated and a drinks order was taken while we looked at the menu , we opted for Garlic & Rosemary Focaccia bread to start , followed by Hoisin Glazed Pork Ribs with Sticky Rice , Slow Braised Lamb Arepas , Manchego & Spinach Croquette , Crispy Mushroom Polenta & some fries , the restaurant serves small plates and this was ample for the two of us . Every dish was very well presented and absolutely delicious, and although we were full to the brim , we couldn’t miss out on the amazing desserts, Lemon Meringue tart and Churros were our choices and they didn’t disappoint. The restaurant was full within the hour and the service was excellent. Another lovely meal at Forty Six, big credit to the chefs and the front of house staff . We’ll be back soon.

We enjoyed another faultless evening meal at the Bay Horse. All of the team are warm and welcoming and the food is the best around. I enjoyed the goats cheese fritters for starter whilst my husband had ordered the fish hors d’oeuvres, every part of this dish was a delight and I’ll be sure to order my own on our next visit! For mains I had the absolutely perfect Hake (which was so tasty) whilst my husband had the pork belly and pheasant, again both absolutely faultless. Thank you for a lovely evening, we’ll be back very soon.

We live locally and have been here a few times, the food is always delicious every time and great service. Cannot recommend it enough for a meal in Kirkbymoorside.

We had Doms Kitchen for our wedding food and oh my, the food was incredible. Dom and Emma make everything from start to finish so easy. With my wife’s family from Ireland and mine from Whitby, Dom was incredible in creating a menu which captured both our families backgrounds. Every guest at the venue told us how incredible the food was. Would highly recommend and it was the best decision we ever made.

This a must for Walkers Hikers a great Tea Garden we had a lovely time Maggie served us with a pot of coffee with hot milk and cream tea at Fodder" it was perfect

A canine cuddle cafe is the sort of place one would expect to find in the trendier parts of London which is why it was such a surprise to come across this little gem in Malton. That said, Malton has been awarded the title 'dog friendliest town in the UK.' We just love this cafe where several different breeds of happy dogs (which all belong to the cafe owner) are available for endless cuddles. The cuddles are accompanied by a variety of teas, coffees and home baking. Thalia, the owner, informed us that the venue and a selection of doggies can be hired for children's parties. Apparently an alcohol licence can be obtained for grown up parties. A visit to Malton would not be complete without a visit to Mixmups. We highly recommend. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon.

Just returned from an outstanding meal at this lovely bistro. The food was delicious and made from seasonal local produce. The service was exceptional- especially the lovely young guy who was amazing. Lovely personal touches of homemade chocolates and fudge after our meal- really not needed but so yummy! We don’t live locally but those of you who do are very lucky to have this in your doorstep. But we will definitely be back as it’s worth a trip just for another meal here!

This is our second visit in two days! Lovely food and excellent service. We will definitely come again. We had soup and cheese scone. The bread and scones were home made.

Called in for a takeaway sandwich on a Saturday morning. Lots of sandwich choice and had a lot of homemade deli items on offer. Staff were really friendly, and happy to make a bespoke sandwich order, rather than off the menu. Sandwich was delicious, and sausage roll was too!

What a warm welcome we got from Sophia when we popped in to the Dawney Arms on a recent trip from Sunderland to York on a bitter February Thursday…so handy right by the A19. Warm log fire, piping hot fish, good helping of chunky chips and peas plus all the trimmings of tartare sauce and lemon slice. It was a speculative call on our part, we just popped in for a coffee but couldn’t resist the fire and the lovely warm feel of this well kept pub. And great toilets, too, by the way, the ladies has everything you could possibly want in order to freshen up…and even has a vase of flowers on the windowsill. So impressed with this comfortable and cosy pub on a random Thursday lunchtime visit, wonderfully friendly service and the food really set us up for the day, thank you so much.
