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

Our third visit and second, overnight stay. A wonderful treat in the depths of winter. The food was even better than last year. Service was faultless as ever. Highly recommend for a special treat.

Lovely rural inn with very friendly owners, right opposite Byland Abbey. A great 2 for 1 dining, drinking and visiting experience.

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.

Stayed overnight with a couple of friends and had a great time. The rooms we had were smallish but absolutely fine. The shower was cubicle was small and there was a bit of temperature fluctuation, but plenty of hot water. Lots of nice little touches, chocolates, dressing gowns, sleep masks etc. The staff were all really friendly and helpful. We ate in the orangery, a lovely oak framed room, nicely decorated. The food was excellent, good sized and delicious starters, (The filo wrapped braised cheek and the leek and brie tart). For the mains, three of us had the steak pie which was superb, lovely shortcrust pastry filled with lots of tender steak. Our other friend had the beef cheek, which was melt in the mouth tender and also delicious. There was unfortunately no chance of managing a desert although they looked lovely. All in all a very nice break. The only minus point was that our friends were in room five and had a disturbed night sleep because the cellar cooler was under their bedroom window and was running all night.

Had a lovely meal here on Saturday night. Menu had plenty of options. Food was well presented, very tasty, price point good. Staff were friendly and attentive. Nice atmosphere.
