Great for food.Food & drinks: Just had Sunday lunch and it was great. Service was spot on. The food was good and plentyfull with a good selection of vegetables to go with your choice of meat and Yorkshire pudding. Will definitely go again. One of the best Sunday lunch l had.

Staying locally and this place was recommended for Sunday Lunch. Lovely friendly staff, good choice of drinks, great food, in huge quantities, couldn't manage a dessert. Highly recommended!

Fabulous meal. All 3 of us had something very different - pie, burger and salt & pepper chicken. All were cooked superbly and couldn't be faulted. Lovely, efficient staff and cosy atmosphere.

We visited the Dawney Arms on Sunday 11th Feb after making a reservation for a table for 2 people at 6pm. We were staying in the village for 3 days . We arrived at 5.35pm looking forward to a roast dinner. We were met in the doorway by a staff member who stated in a not very friendly way "we just finished serving food 5 mins ago. We said we had a 6pm booking so we stood in the doorway while the staff member shouted across to the landlord behind the bar" have these got a booking?" He flicked back and forth through a book then shouted no . We explained we had a booking , he looked again, no. After much shouting across the room , and by now all the other customers staring , it was decided to go and ask chef if we could eat. The answer came back, yes, you can eat but there are no yorkshire puddings left. ( bearing in mind they were standing under a blackboard which stated food served 12 til 8 pm Sundays ). We said ok and sat down, 10 minutes later the table of 6 persons next to ours were served, huge yorkshire puddings, beef, gravy, roast and mashed potato s, and then separate dishes of veg, I counted 8 different dishes of veg going onto their table. Then 10 minutes later we were asked what we wanted, we had no menu s so we just said beef please. The beef arrived on a plate with gravy, and potatos then our one separate dish of veg arrived , the one small dish contained 2 broccoli florets, leathery and dried up, 1 spoonful of peas , a small amount of almost raw sliced carrots, and a small amount of raw sliced parsnips . What a disappointment, and to make matters worse at the till we were charged full price, and no apology either. We visit West Heslerton often as we have relatives there but we will never return to the Dawney Arms.Noteworthy details: nice village nice people live in the village

How sad to hear of the closure. We really enjoyed our overnight stay in August and were looking forward to returning. Everything exceeded our expectations...the room, staff, food and entertainment. Many thanks to Simon and all the staff, Scott Wardell and Bladerunner for a fantastic day and night

Exceptional food I had the gammon for main and apple pie which was on the special desert menu. Staff were lovely too will definitely be going back.
Saw the sign for the Dawnay Arms on the A64 on way back from visiting a local golf shop with my husband. Decided to give it a try, what a gem the food was excellent, fantastic menu choice. Great atmosphere and very friendly hosts. Will be more than happy to visit the local golf shop again in future if followed by a stop off at the Dawnay Arms, would definitely recommend

Dropped in on the off chance of some supper as I hadn't booked. Terrific food and speedy service, topped of with a cracking pint of Theakstons.

Wow, what a little gem! We booked this last minute for 2 and our dog, and we were blown away. The food was incredible, proper pub grub, a proper portion size! Hearty and warming, staff where lovely and attentive. Just about to ring to book a table for tonight! Highly recommend, the food was excellent. We had scampi & chips and a classic burger, nothing classic about the burger it was more like an ultimate deluxe burger, it was amazing!!
