"27/03/15 My first visit to The Alice. As you drive into the village of Nun Monkton, you absorb your beautiful surroundings of this quaint little village and look in awe at the green and the very tall may pole. This small village boasts the largest may pole and green in the whole of the UK. Upon arriving at the pub, I could see the chickens and vegatables growing in their gardens, this, always a pleasing sight to be had. The Alice boasts an array of outdoor seating at the front and in the secluded, manicured gardens to the rear too. The pub is beautifully decorated with a small, intimate dining room, a bar area for more casual dining and drinks and a large room, perfect for larger parties. Rebecca, the Assistant manager chats to me about their up and coming plans for the premises and the option to have drinks receptions in the barn for larger parties, served around a warming fire pit in the colder months. I order a gin and tonic, served with rosemary and cucumber, a delightful and refreshing special and begin choosing food to order. I view the creative menu and opt for goats cheese croquettes, walnut, apple and beetroot to start. The flavours blend delightfully and offer an explosion of taste jointly, for main the Chicken tagliatelle which is served in a rich, creamy sauce and made with fresh paster, seasoned perfectly. Next time, I will save space for dessert, but this time, there was simply no room left! Beautiful food at reasonable prices and with something for everyone."

"I have been to the restaurant many, many times, I may even have another review on here, because the food has always been amazing, sadly, their behaviour the other Sunday means I will never set foot in their restaurant again and will advise others not to. I'm disabled and have an assistant dog. For the many times I have been to this restaurant over the last 10 years, my assistance dog has always been with me and I've never had an issue. Recently, they changed their tables and now there are no table cloths for my assistance dog to hide under. On Sunday I attended with my assistance dog and my assistance dog in training, who will be replacing my assistance dog shortly and who is learning to fit into my life, so gaining experience. The restaurant was empty when we arrived and we were welcomed. We picked a table out of the way on the right side of the restaurant that is split in two with a thick wall. Both my assistance dog and assistance dog in training were labelled as such and sat quietly beside me and made no noise and no fuss the entire time. We ordered drinks and food, all of which was lovely, we were coming to the end of the main course and were considering coffee and dessert when the waitress informed us that they had had a complaint from a another customer about the dogs and we had to stop enjoying our meal and leave. And not JUST leave, but leave via the back door and alley. Like we were some dirty little secret they didn't want anyone to know. I pointed out that they were not legally (Equity Act 2020) allowed to throw out my assistance dog, but they just shrugged clearly breaking the law is fine by them. While my assistance dog in training is NOT covered by the law, we would not have come in in the first place if his presence had not been permitted from the start, but we were welcomed in. The worst part of it was that there was NOBODY in our section of the restaurant so some nasty piece of work went out of their way to make my life more difficult and unpleasant and the restaurant made the choice that they would rather insult the disabled person and break the law than deal with the other customer. This entire unpleasant event has deeply upset me and made me feel like the staff at this restaurant have no understanding of the law, disability or common decency."
