The best restaurants serving British food in Saxton and Ulleskelf Selby Yorkshire and The Humber

We went for a meal here whilst visiting friends in the area on Sat 19th Oct. First impressions was the bar /restaurant area was very scruffy & not clean. We were seated in the conservatory part of the pub & were given menus by a pleasant waitress. She looked after us through out the evening very well. Also, the manager treated us well so no concerns with the staff. The concern came when my wife's meal arrived. She had ordered minted lamb pie with saute potatoes. What came resembled a desperate Dan pie filled with large pieces of new potatoes & 1 small piece of fatty lamb. Also, she had wedges instead of saute potato. We were all concerned over her meal so called the waitress over to explain that this was not what we ordered. In fairness the food was replaced with an alternative dish & she was semi happy but didn't like the potatoes. There were apologies but there was no hint of a courtesy drink for her & no thought of a reduction in her bill for this inconvenience. Also, when we paid we didn't leave a tip, just paid the bill & we got a snooty look from the lady taking payments. So, to recap I felt the pub was grubby, the waitresses were very good, the food served to my wife was totally unacceptable & the response from the lady taking payment was unfriendly. The other 3 meals were a 5 out of 10 so not a place I would rush back to if I lived in the area.

Disappointed. Firstly we arrived, the car park was busy. Seemed people park there that aren't visiting the pub. Very small for the establishment. We had to drive around twice to eventually find a parking spot. Our drinks order was taken quickly and then our food order was taken. Great 👍 The food came. The fish and chips was a good size portion. The roasts on the other hand. Very thin pieces of meat. Large yorkies. OK veg. Now the roast potatoes... I'm not often disappointed by roast dinner veggies. However these roast potatoes were the worst I've ever tasted. My knife wouldn't even cut them the skin was like leather! I have no idea how they managed to get them like that. Inedible! The service was slow and seemed stretched for the amount of tables. We asked for a dessert menu and one was never brought, after finishing our drinks we left without ordering. Would not rush to come back for the food.
