Restaurants near Middleham Castle North Yorkshire

Best food ever at The Ivy this year on our annual Christmas shopping trip to York. We had such a lovely evening, it was all perfect.

As always the food was amazing. Only constructive criticism is that the Panna Cotta has changed to strawberry Flavour on a Prosecco jelly base, the original version is much nicer. This doesn’t mean it was bad, it was just disappointing. However, overall the food was delicious.

An incredible meal and overall experience. The staff are fantastic, so helpful and knowledgeable about all the dishes on the menu. It was my birthday, I was astounded to find they'd placed a helium balloon and a birthday card on the table. I have always wanted to try lobster thermidor, so was delighted to try that which included prawns and baby scallops. My wife had a seafood crepe which was quite unusual and delicious. If you want incredible food without the formality of fine dining then look no further - most definitely our favourite restaurant in Yorkshire.

We enjoyed a long and leisurely Sunday lunch here as a group of six. The food, service, ambience, wine list quality and comfort were all outstanding. Highly recommend!

Excellent food and menu choices. Service was prompt and efficient without feeling rushed. The pub was full but we could still have a conversation. We will definitely be back.
