The food was great, service was great, and the dining area was great. Perfect scotch egg with black pudding. I had the fish for my main course and, hats off to the chef - the flavours on my plate were awesome. The waiter was attentive,...helpful and polite. I asked for a specific alternative to mixed veg and it wasn't a problem. We were not rushed and we will revisit.More

Arrived just before they finished serving for lunch, 30 seconds to be exact but the delightful barman was more than happy to take our order. Hats off to the poor chef who I sure thought he had finished his lunchtime shift for producing two delicious...meals. Fantastic food and service will definitely be visiting again.More

After a false start to a family visit due to having to walk out of The New Inn which was a disaster we realised it was a blessing in disguise because we ended up here! So happy to have walked into a welcoming friendly place...full of lovely people. Great food and amazing service. We Will be visiting much more instead of existing local dives run by ego maniac's in True Religion t-shirts!More

Have always enjoyed our annual trip. Was busy, but plenty of space and options to eat inside, outside under cover on the terrace or elsewhere in the large garden. We ordered drinks from the bar on arrival. As we sat in a quiet part of...the garden we also placed our food order back at the bar. Everything was perfect, food arrived in 20 mins, was delicious and nicely presented. The atmosphere is great, feels like a smart venue but also relaxed, with space for kids to explore the garden.More

August 2023 Starkrimson Room was lovely. Well equipped bathroom - a shower and bath which is rare these days. Mattress was a little soft for two people with bad backs. The room was a bit warm overnight despite the ability to open windows, but there...was a fan which admittedly we didn't use. Limited wardrobe space but enough to cope. On one day when the inn wasn't busy during the day, I really enjoyed being able to sit in the gorgeous garden in the sunshine, watch the butterflies and read uninterrupted for most to the day. Breakfast was great. Lots of choice. Glad to see there were no restrictions on returns for extra coffee or juice. We chose to eat dinner in for ease and were very happy with the choice and quality. All lovely but an extra "big up" for the Barnsley chop and the steak - not forgetting the pear sorbet with crumble and honeycomb which I had three nights running. The service was a tiny bit slow at times, but I realise that dinner times in particular were busy for the staff and every member of staff delivered service was with a smile. Not the cheapest but I think it significantly outdid Rudloe Manor where we spent the previous two nights.More

We arrived and were "sort of " shown where to sit.. it then took a lifetime to get our drinks order, then it also took far too long for the drinks to arrive, and we didn't actually order much. We then ordered our food. We...weren't asked about allergies etc, which in this day and age I feel is terrible... any of us could be highly allergic, obviously we weren't or we would have pointed this out. I ordered the fish and chips... pretty poor dish for £18.50! Hugely overpriced for the quality. My son ordered the burger,as soon as he picked it up, the bun fell to pieces,which in my experience, screams stale... not good enough! The staff didn't check back to see if the food was OK and actually we all decided they weren't that friendly either,it felt that we weren't really welcome... We definitely won't be returning and I certainly will be letting others know about this experience.More

Went in for dinner, there were two waitresses , one was nice , the other best described as cold , talking of cold several of the dishes were shall we say not warm . Bill was high the price of beer and wine here seems...to be lumpy Ultimate question; would I go again - no.More

So stayed at the Pear Tree Inn for 3 nights which included breakfast and had one evening meal on the first night, followed by a lunch gathering of 9 for Lunch the following day. We asked if the evening after having lunch, if the Chef...would provide a light meal from the lunchtime menu for us in our room. As obviously, it would not look good to other guests choosing from the evening menu if ate steak sandwich or something similar in the restaurant. The chef refused our request via members of the staff. There are two types of people in this world those that do and those that don't , no prizes for the one we got. So we decided to make other arrangements to eat out the following days. Would we stay again NO, if the Chef took time to explain to us personally his reasoning or offered an alternative then we would probably have stayed again, especially as we visit the area on a regular basis. Very shortsighted and lost the opportunity for serving additional meals and future accommodation. The staff generally were excellent.More

Lovely comfortable and spotlessly clean room and nice touches with the cafetière and pear drops! The gardens added the icing on the cake and were beautiful to sit and enjoy with a pre dinner drink. Excellent breakfasts (especially the homemade granola!) and dinner. The only...slight criticism was the service for both Saturday evening and Sunday lunchtime was a bit slow. However all the staff were pleasant and helpful and we would not hesitate to recommend/stay here again.More

Very disappointed. We went several years ago and had a superb lunch. This time sadly was the opposite. The roast beef and Yorkshire pudding was cold and they forgot to bring our starters. The staff, albeit all very pleasant, didn't appear to have been trained...very well as the service was indifferent at best. And it was very overpriced for a pretty sub-standard dining experience. Won't be returning in a hurry which is sad really because the place itself is lovely.More

We visit Pear Tree as much as we can’t. Really our favorite pub in the area. Location is off the main road and parking plenty. Good access for all kinds. Even EV chargers. House and surroundings so well melts it’s a hidden gem. Food is...fantastic doesn’t matter what you choose! They staff is great they have super knowledge about menus so they guide you skillfully. Good luck! We are definitely coming back. Thanks!More

We usually visit The Pear Tree a couple of times a year when we are down visiting the In-Laws, so we were looking forward to our visit. Always a lovely setting & good menu but sadly the service was just so poor on this occasion...- it took 1.5 hours for us to receive our main course (which we had to chase for) no one came to check on us or ask if we wanted anymore drinks in that time either. Then when our main course came again no one came to check up on us - the hake was small & cold - for £24 that’s ridiculous. So we paid up & went home via Sainsburys to pick up a dessert instead of ordering one. They did knock the service charge off the bill(!!) & a little more but the money wasn’t the point, we were looking forward to a nice meal out just the two of us & instead it was just frustrating & awkward. Such as shame as we loved visiting here.More
