"AMAZING FOOD!! Everything was delicious. The complimentary tapenade was surprisingly moorish, especially when neither of us like olives and it was a nice touch. We had the crab arrancini and pork to start, both were very fresh and piping hot, incredibly enjoyable. We had the monk fish and venison for mains and neither could be faulted. The monkfish was cooked perfectly, it was soft and fell apart. The venison was also perfectly cooked. We managed to squeeze in dessert which was well worth it. It was one of the fluffiest sticky toffee puddings I've ever had and the chocolate torte was huge and absolutely incredible. It was easy to tell the staff were passionate about their business and took the time to talk to us about the food and the local area. Definitely worth a visit. The higher price tag is reflected in the quality and quantity of the dishes."

"Ordering Indian food from an unfamiliar restaurant can be a bit of a gamble, but I found this place to be a pleasant surprise. The waiter was attentive and provided excellent recommendations that suited my taste. My entrée was fantastic, and my main course was just as delightful. There were notable differences in the food compared to other Indian restaurants I've tried in the UK; the management and staff seem to have really nailed it. I had a wonderful evening and a delicious meal, even though the staff didn't quite share my passion for football, as we supported different teams. Luckily, we found common ground in cricket, despite our differing allegiances. I'm looking forward to returning and experiencing their hospitality again."

"5* simply because I can’t leave 10! Dropped in here in desperation today Easter Saturday) after travelling around to a couple of places and not being able to get a table. Thought we were off to the Chinese in Pickering when we stopped her and asked if dogs were allowed in? Yes we were told and then did they have a table for 2? Despite being full and tables reserved they found us one, we had to wait a bit to have our order taken but they did get us drinks straight away while we waited for them to deal with the party of 8 that came in just before us. When they did take out order I went for the sirloin steak and my wife the lasagna. This was finished with apple crumble custard and hot choc fudge cake custard. We can honestly say it all was cooked to perfection. The steak I haven’t had so good in a long time even when I’ve cooked it) and the wife’s lasagna was spot on too. Puddings tasted perfect too. Lovely, small, but reasonable quite pub considering it was full. Staff were outstanding, friendly, helpful and polite apologising for our wait which considering we dropped in on the off chance was our fault not theirs. The landlord was great. Joking and making us feel at home and actually wanted. As others have said, every pub needs a landlord like this. Our only regret was it was our last night that we popped in even though over the years we’ve driven past it so many times. If you want a well cooked meal at a nice quiet county pub with good service and polite staff you don’t need to look any further. We will definitely be back here when in the area. Thank you so much to all the staff."

"Well Im not going to lie, we ate here because it was the only place in Pickering where we could get something to eat on a Wednesday at 5 pm. Seriously, Pickering is a DIRE place to be at 5 pm. Everything seems to close at 4 pm (alright for some), pubs mostly unfriendly certainly no food before 6 pm, and if you’re there Monday Wednesday, forget it. Now, that said, this Fish and Chip shop was a real find. Lovely staff, amazing food, and a varied kids menu. They do serve other things besides fish! The ultimate test my picky grandson ate all of his chicken nuggets and garlic bread (and no, we hadn’t starved him or bribed him to do so). Ambiance a bit lacking as its very brightly lit and every time the front door opens a breeze from the Baltic flows in. However, service was excellent. Made a great place to eat prior to our evening ride on the Steam Train."
