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

We arrived without a booking on a rainy Sunday evening with two young children and the lovely staff squeezed us in for dinner was outstanding lovely place and people

Popped in for a quick pint saw they were making home made pizzas . Had a pizza and a pint combo along with a game of pool while I waited . Absolutely delicious. Was well worth been late home . So took one home for the wife too. . Happy days

A warm welcome from landlady Rachel at this traditional Farndale pub. Well kept ales on tap and a decent Rose wine slaked a thirst on arrival followed by a plump Sirloin Steak and trimmings and a plate of crispy scampi to keep us fed. Excellent value for money and all the traditions of top class inn-keeping can be found here in the glorious setting that is Farndale.

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.

Shame about the WiFi not working

I received a very warm welcome, friendly service and lovely food. It can be daunting going into a pub as a woman on your own on a Friday evening, but they made me feel welcome and found me a quiet table where I could work on my laptop before moving on to my next thing- I had 2 hours to kill and I appreciated that they didn’t hassle me to move on. I found quite a few vegetarian dishes on the menu- I had the Brie and it was really nice.

Lovely staff, delicious for brunch or a carrot cake muffin and you can enjoy the courtyard cafe, gift & farm shop without needing to pay an entry fee; Castle Howard is still one of our favourite travel stops (and well worth the entry fee if you have time to browse and enjoy the vista from the gardens too). Great coffee but can be very busy around 1pm (as expected).

My 'Hot Beef Sandwich ' consisted of a dried out roll, a few tasty onions+mushrooms, one very small piece of delicious looking beef and two dreadful slices of 'spotty' slices of beef from a supermarket packet which were 'hidden' under the unadvertised topping. Slight argument when I asked for a refund. Was told the beef had been kept warming on a hot plate but not for how long. My daughter had already had to return a packet of crisps with a best before date of 2023.

This is a very inviting pub but had originally gone for food as the reviews said, however we was told by the lady behind the bar that they Don’t serve food. So we had a drink then left, nice staff though.

Having not been in here for a while I ventured in this week wondering if it was still the nice welcoming place I remembered from my last visit. I am pleased to report it still is. Rach remains the friendly, professional anchor and recent recruit Sally seems like an excellent addition to the staff, who of course are the most important ingredient in any cafe. Thoroughly enjoyable experience and I am more than happy to recommend it.

just such a warm welcoming place we had cat fritters and fries some patron's just wont sit down and have some sort of weird obsession with mud you doo need to book tho
