| Had a very nice stay here. The bedrooms are very comfortable and the staff very attentive. There was a selection of three ales - one John Smith cask, one local brew and one summer ale. It's a very nice quiet village but a good starting point for the Yorkshire Moors and the many local attractions including York and the many local racecourses. I must say that the meal I had was sub-standard. Liver and bacon - the bacon was overcooked, the mash was like wallpaper paste and the veg came out a a dish which was swimming with water. I would definitely come here again as it ticks all the boxes, but hope that the chef has moved on. flagship - 25 Jul 2010 21:00 |
| This pub won York CAMRA's country pub of the season last year, WHY??? I've tried this pub three times and I have to say it has been disappointing. The service is poor, if your not a local your left waiting until the staff have finished gossiping with the locals. There where two ale's (John Smith cask and Hambleton) and two lagers, the beer was good but it should be at just under �3 a pint. On one visit we had a meal, it was Okish. One thing I found most annoying, the restaurant has waitress service, but you have to order your food at the bar. If you don't know this your left sitting at a table waiting (and waiting and waiting) for someone to take your order, there's no sign and the staff can't be bothered to tell you. You may ask why I went three times, I would not write a bad review on one visit, it would not be fair (any pub can have a bad day). I will not waste my time or money on this pub again. johnjk - 14 Aug 2009 17:16 |
