Went on the tour for my Dad's birthday, got shown around by Justina who did a great job, really interesting, and the whisky was excellent.Sadly we arrived late at the cafe for food but they were very accommodating and we had some lovely Christmas cake.

A real find, the cafe at the distillery, well prepared locally sourced food, friendly staff and a great view of the magic that makes the most fantastic whisky, what is there not to like. Been there on many occasions now, it never fails and a good excuse to buy some amazing quality whisky. As a coeliac, the cafe provide a good gluten free selection of quality.

Just had a whisky tasting, and a snack in the restaurant, and not a tour of the distillery. The food is excellent, really good coffee. The whisky that we tasted was superb and could not resist buying a bottle of the unique one that is aged in two types of sherry barrels and a muscatel barrel. Would like to do the tour next time.

Had an enjoyable visit. The distillery tour was very informative and well presented. I like the ethos of keeping things local. After the tour there was a tasting of three different whiskies. My wife and I then enjoyed a very tasty pre-booked afternoon tea. The cafe has an excellent choice of savoury and sweet menus. Will certainly call in again when we have been visiting RSPB Bempton which is not far away.

The quality of the distillery is very good. The whole ethos and method seems like a great idea.(everything made by them)I'm personally not a fan of the signature whisky. Way too light and too much of an alcohol hit. (Others in the group seemed to like it) but the peated and IPA and 2023 special were very good.The tour was £15 with 3 very small helpings. (Which other distilleries do for free) seemed a little steep. The only reason I give the place 4 not 5*.Note that the lady giving the tour was very knowledgeable and had some great chat. ??

We enjoyed the amazing ploughman’s board and homemade cakes on two visits to the distillery during our stay in Filey.Lovely friendly staff in the shop and the cafe, and beautiful fresh local produce.We also purchased a gorgeous hand sculpture of a sheep called Eunice, by a local artist Sharon Westmoreland.Final mention goes to the lady running the shop. She was a mine of information on all things distillery, and the local area.

Booked the one hour distillery tour,presented by Justyna, & it was excellent. We had a tea & coffee in the pot still cafe and the menu there looked SOOO tempting as did the array of cakes but I can't review those as we didn't indulge. However the whisky tasting which was included in the tour did encourage us to spoil ourselves with a bottle of the Yorkshire day special edition. Would thoroughly recommend
Mathew Taylor
Fantastic tour, delivered by an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. Paired with a Filey Bay whisky tasting event the night before, this tour was a wonderful continuation and thoroughly enjoyable.

Once again what a wonderful day. Each year the experience is so much better with many different things much learn about the Distillery. We have been to every Open Day since the Distillery opened. We have seen it grow and wish them every success for the coming years.
This was a very worthwhile experience . Our guide was James and he was a delight, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and so friendly. The set up is great , small family business in partnership with Wold Top Brewery , everything is sourced in local area including the water from an aquifer below their farm . The whisky is light , fruity and very drinkable , even to a whiskyphobe like myself . Great cafe with good home cooked food and very decent coffee. This place hits the spot on every level

We had a really interesting tour with an engaging guide followed by a delicious afternoon tea. And to top it all off the whiskey is great. Lovely way to spend a couple of hours!

Had a light lunch of home made soup and sandwiches with coffee.The soup was tasty and the right consistency, the sandwich on fresh bread generously packed with cheese and the coffee ground and just as I wanted. Service came with a smile

Great afternoon. Friendly staff and amazing whisky. There's good car parking on site. Once inside the friendly staff are quick to say hello. We came for the tour, but being a little early sampled the cafe. Nice food and good prices. The tour was great, knowledgeable staff in a relaxed environment. The sampling at the end was very nice with five different types of whisky. I especially enjoyed the cask strength one. Had a great time and will be keeping my eye on the mailing list for when the next cask whisky is available.

We stopped here for lunch on our way to Filey. We had the share platter. It was delicious and enough for a light lunch. The blue cheese from Shepherds Purse was a light blue perfect for lunch. Would recommend. Bought a whiskey selection box , which we look forward to trying.
