Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

3 of us went for lunch. As a vegan I'm always a bit worried about my choices. Although there was little choice, what I had, a Thai curry was lovely and tasty. The staff were friendly and helpful and I will return at some point....All I ask for is more choice.More

We stopped en-route towards Seahouses in Northumberland. To be honest it doesn't look much from the outside (front) but the staff were warm and welcoming. The food is to die for. Just good home cooked pub food.

A lovely local pub with a impressive Garden/Patio Area. Food always fantastic here, not the cheapest, but again it's better than your typical "Pub Grub" so worth the bill. Service fantastic, bar staff always ready and keen, helpful and fun. Waitresses always attentive and concise....I would recommend to anybody.More

Good little pub near thirsk. Staff were mostly friendly and helpful. I had the fish pie which was delicious. Plenty of fish. My husband had the rump steak which he enjoyed. Only complaint was the chicken nuggets off the kids menu. My daughter tried them...but they weren't great. More like a fish batter which was greasy and overcooked. Maybe we made the wrong choice for her.More

Stayed and ate here … highly recommend. From checking in with Joe, who was really welcoming to dining in the busy restaurant can only say good things. The staff are friendly, the room is really good values and well equipped and the menu is huge....We had a lovely meal and stay so far. Dog friendly too so have brought our dog which was a deciding factorMore

We stayed here recently as our friends were getting married nearby. We arrived during a busy Sunday afternoon lunch service in the pub but that didn’t prevent a smooth and very welcoming check in process. We immediately booked for an evening meal because the food...smelled Devine! We stayed in room one which is separate from the main building. It was spacious, comfortable, and extremely clean. There’s a bath with shower, toiletries and also a fridge and tea and coffee facilities (Yorkshire Tea of course!) Due to the cost of living crisis the air con is an addition £5 per night which is entirely understandable. We were a little warm but nothing an open window didn’t solve. The pub itself was a lovely cosy feeling pub. Plenty of drinks options and a great menu full of choice. We had Yorkshire pudding as a start (as a Yorkshire lass myself, it was spot on I can tell you). We then had fish and chips which were very tasty! The area at the back of the pub on a sunny day is a great feature. Sun drenched patio with seating to enjoy the Yorkshire sunshine (when there is some haha). A brilliant place to stay and I’d highly recommend the same. The family running it should be very proud.More
