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

This was a celebration of my wife’s 60th birthday and was perfect. The food was wonderful, served by informed and engaged staff and our room was very comfortable. I will recommend this to anyone who will listen ! Thank you

We stayed at the Abbey Inn and ate at the Black Swan. Greeted by Duncan and shown to our room - very small and quaint. Nice tea and coffee facilities with a small amount of real milk. We were told that the room was heated with underfloor heating - it was cold! We thought it would warm up. The tiled bathroom was freezing. Windows are single pane and alot of condensation. We found a plug in heater in the wardrobe and used this to generate some heat while we got ready for dinner in anticipation that when we got back the underfloor heating would have heated up the room. We came back from meal - we went to reception to try and get more tea bags/milk - all closed off. A turn down service would be good especially as only three rooms. The room was Baltic. The heating had not worked. We slept fully clothed with socks. Do not expect this in a hotel that we had paid that amount for. I want to be cosy and enjoy the room but could not do this. We did mention in the morning and were kindly refunded £50 from the bill. We would not return as the money we paid it was not worth it. It was minus 2 outside but wow so cold!!

Went for a drink at my sister's local and ended up at a Christmas Quiz - great fun and a free pizza. Very friendly atmosphere; good range of drinks; great service.

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.
