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

After visiting Roots earlier in the year, the black swan was on the bucket list. My husband surprised me with an overnight stay for my birthday. It was Every bit as good as Roots and more. The room which was situated in a quaint cottage across the road, was cosy and had everything we needed for the nights stay. The copper bath was great to have a nice relax in before dinner. Dinner was exceptional, the service, the food and wine pairing were all faultless. We were also so impressed with breakfast the following Morning which was a dining experience in itself. Will be sure to return when we’ve saved up some more ££!!

Fantastic pub was made very welcome when we arrived

We stopped for lunch here and it was our first time since the pub has changed hands. We weren't disappointed. The food was delicious, the open fire was welcoming, friendly staff. We will certainly be back very soon.

Don't waste your time! Staff are rude! The food I wouldn't of gave to my dog! I last visited a few years back and it seems to of gone downhill.

Excellent meal - staying locally for husband’s 60th birthday so booked for lunch on our arrival. 5 adults and one baby, enjoyed by everyone lovely staff and excellent food excellent value for money. A big thank you from me for the vegetarian option best meal I’ve had in a long time proper vegetarian food no fake meat. Too many places now just offer a vegan option to cover both vegetarian and vegan usually meaning highly processed fake meat.
