Stayed for dinner, bed and breakfast. Rob greeted us and showed us to our lovely ensuite room. Spacious, comfy and clean. We had a lovely meal in a cosy atmosphere. Rob and a waitress served us. Set menu 2 courses for £20 or A la carte. Food delicious, service excellent, can't fault it. Lovely glasses of wine complimented the meal.We saw Rob again in the morn, he cooked and served our breakfast which was very nice. You can have cereal, porridge, juice, tea/coffee and a cooked breakfast. We enjoyed a cooked breakfast and toast with coffee.Rob is a very attentive host, nothing too much trouble. Highly recommended for a night away with some special food and service.

Just want to say thankyou for a lovely lunch. The food was fantastic and very reasonably priced. The service was excellent and we loved our table next to the open fire, its was so cozy. We will definitely back and I would highly recommend The Wellington Heifer. I had the gravadlax to start and it was absolutely delicious. The slow cooked beef for mains with hosre raddish mash was very tasty, and the sticky toffee pudding sublime.

Food and service exceptional. Hard butter (petty I know) Bottle of Pinot or Sauvignon costs me £8.99 at local shop, same brand charged at £23.95 here
It is rare that all three courses in a meal deliver at super quality. We chose game terrine followed by beef daube, then sticky toffee pudding and chocolate mousse and pistachio cake for desert. The americanos to follow hit the spot too. Ingredients, presentation, and culinary approach are all worthy of high praise. As an early evening set menu and lunch option we can't imagine it could be bettered including on value for money. The setting is relaxed country pub with the right kind of spacing of tables to allow for quiet sharing of the experience. This was our first visit and we booked straight away for the Christmas menu and are really looking forward to that. We thank the team for such a perfect time and congratulate them on everything they are achieving. Chef deserves a special mention for serving up dishes that in their look and clean flavours would not be out of place in the best of restaurants. Fine dining in a welcoming rural setting. What could be better!

The service was great, we had three courses that came out perfectly timed. The food was interesting and delicious. My husband had the black pudding, fish pie and sticky toffee pudding. I had chickpea curry and the dark chocolate torte. The portion sizes were spot on, we came away satisfied but not stuffed. If we are in the area again we’ll definitely be back.

Great little country hotel just off the motorway, clean and well appointed rooms. The highlight of the stay was the welcome by the staff, first class We were in town for the Polar Express Christmas steam train that was a short drive away, well positioned and only a short drive away. Evening meal and breakfast was excellent with some fine Montepulciano at a reasonable price, for dinner obviously ? Would highly recommend

Called in on a wet and foggy November evening. Meeting my son who was travelling down from Newcastle. I was coming up from York, so halfway meeting point! What a wonderful find for us! Lovely food, great service and warm ambience in the bar/restaurant. Highly recommend a visit to this great food led pub. We will certainly be returning.

Fantastic place, and great customer service. Me, my wife, daughter, son-in-law and grand-daughter stopped here for a meal whist waiting to go on the Polar Express in Bedale. We had a warm welcome from the staff and also a real fire in the hearth. We were really impressed with the menu choices but more impressed with the quality of our meals. Thank you and well done.
