The best restaurants serving British food in Yorkshire and The Humber

Dreadful. I'm reading some of these reviews and noticing many have only ever wrote 1 review and that's for the OX. Could easily be fraudulent. I'll let you decide. However, what I can do is give you my one and only near death experience from eating there. I ordered the mixed grill. The presentation alone should have sent alarm bells ringing. But I let it slide and proceeded to cut some meat. Even from using a knife and fork I could smell the meat was rancid. I politely asked the young barman to bring it back in the kitchen and show the cook. He returned a minute later and said the cook did indeed agree with me that the meat had gone off! HERE IS WHERE MY PROBLEMS LAY. Surely when he opened it he must have smelt it? Failing that when he is stood over it to cook it Surely then he would have smelt it was off. If he can't smell rancid meat he shouldn't be in a professional kitchen. Maybe ge did smell it and thought he'd chance it anyway? Then he shouldn't be in a professional kitchen! Either way they are headed for serious trouble having someone without basic training but incompetence in abundance behind the stove. I would bet he's not done one day in any culinary school. Certainly not a chef thats for sure. Absolutely shocking. The barman was very apologetic and almost seemed embarrassed on the cooks behalf. He offered me an alternative meal, which is an achievement in itself to make a lasagna inedible, and once again acted very professionally. In a nutshell JUST DONT!

Recently refurbished to a high standard. Very comfortable and clean. Food excellent and all the staff polite and helpful. Highly recommended.

I’ve eaten the Sunday roast sometime ago and it was good . Decided late to go out for Sunday dinner so called in here . So pleased with the dinner I wanted to encourage others . We had scotch egg to start , runny yolk , perfect and tasty, as was gbd five spice pork dumplings , 🤩 to start. Then cans probably the best roast beef dinner ,well thought out , well presented , can not fault it , the wedge of beef beautifully pink , perfect 👌we finished with desserts , sticky toffee 👌 white chocolate Nutella cheesecake with a fantastic chocolate ice cream. So , get yer send here , it is Michelin star quality , and I eat regular at Michelin stars 👍👌😇. Well done team Carnelly Hellaby ..

We are visiting the Restaurant prior to a meeting and decided to arrive early to enjoy some dinner before the meeting. The venue was distinctly chilly, the menu was okay with what looked like some good vegetarian options. Opted for the 'Clasic Vegetarian Lasagne' which was anything but classic being based on imitation minced beef! May suit some but not me, clasic Vegetarian Lasagne is, or should be made with vegetables, not a meat substitute. Very very disappointed😞

Great little country pub, had a lovely family meal, great options and vegan options too, service was brilliant and the meal was gorgeous! Happy family all round! We will be back soon

Worst Sunday dinner ever. 45 minute wait in an near empty restaurant. Serving lady… apologised for her Miscommunication. Easily forgiven but then the food arrived. See pictures. 2 tiny halves of roast potatoes. You think it’s a Generous beef portion until you see its half fat & gristle. Green beans not cooked and not trimmed. Carrot shavings burnt. Mush… had to ask what it was. Overcooked cauliflower cheese. Yorkshire pudding cardboard. We joined the gym and a free Sunday lunch was an inducement. Didn’t realise it was a more a punishment. Head chef should be disgusted with this offering. Not the poor girl left to serve it. We have another free Sunday lunch but we will not be going. No food is better than this. I ate around the fat & gristle. 2 tiny halves of potatoes. Half cardboard Yorkshire. This was I left in the pictures. Judge for yourself. My poor husband tried to eat more. He was starving. Wouldn’t of eaten at all but my diabetes had gone haywire waiting so long to eat. Ps. This normally costs £16.50 each. I won’t go again even if it’s free.

When we first arrived, we couldn’t find anywhere to sit. Not because of people at tables, because of the amount of rubbish and dirty plates at tables. We waited of 40 minutes for our food - my family waited nearly an hour for theirs even though we ordered at the same time. When it finally came out, the pie was burnt, lasagne was mediocre and gravy was more like water. Staff didn’t seem to have a clue what they were doing and when we left, the dirty plates that were on tables when we arrived were still there on departure. Many people complained and few asked for refunds. The only decent bit was children eat for free.

Popped in for an after dinner drink in this local pub. Pleasant wood and brick interior with an open fire in the centre between bars. Comfy seats and a choice of table, it was quiet on arrival but started ti fill up as we ere leaving Sensible priced drinks and the service was polite and helpful. Beer garden outside and adequate parking available.

As a frequent visitor to dewsbury I usually always go to the timepiece for breakfast, dinner etc. However on this occasion on two attempts to go in, first one a homeless looking man came out as I was about to go in so I changed my mind and the second time I opened the front door to see about 4 homeless guys in the pub so I closed the door and left.

Very comfortable stay at this beautiful traditional hotel..with my elderly father and very well behaved dog. Its currently being refurbished so the bar and restaurant are not open but they provided an inclusive delicious continental breakfast..and with Weatherspoons next door and many other restaurants and quaint bars in town it was no bother. Easy convenient clean and very helpfull friendly service...could even see Studley Pike from both our rooms, Would stay here again..

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.

Second teashop in Boroughbridge that wants to shut early on a Friday before 2:45pm, all we wanted was a tea or coffee, but no, although invited into the tea shop, a call from the kitchen area at the rear by another unseen member of staff indicated that they had already cleaned up and were ready to go home ....... Nothing like an early finish, talk about POETS day !!!!

Stunning setting, beautiful bar, great parking and tastefully decorated restaurant. Unfortunately that’s where the compliments end. Food tasteless and cold; service from bar and kitchen laughable; overpriced drinks; good food spoilt by the chef. I’ve never had anyone suggest eating here so it was a punt and now I know why. What a waste of a fabulous venue.

Lumpy mattress quite possibly the worst nights sleep ever ! No air con meant the room was either boiling or freezing . Bed side lights didn’t work either . Very dated hotel in desperate need of upgrading . That said staff were lovely but trying to make the most out of a of pretty poor proposition! Only stayed as couldn’t get in anywhere else ! Bar prices ridiculous at £6 a pint fora lukewarm lager !

Just had the most amazing pie and peas at the ferry inn the manageress was very pretty and done a great job on the food she must have chef bone in her somewhere Will definitely be going back for more
