We visited for a drink after a long walk and decided to return the following night for a meal. I was slightly disappointed as the menu we were shown wasn't on. Was looking forward to a t bone steak ?. We ate from the daytime menu, which was reasonably priced . Steak pie ,mash, and veg was yummy, and the pizza looked amazing . We would visit again 100% if we were in the area .My little girl loved the swinging chairs and a nice water feature gave a relaxing feeling ?

We stayed here in the family room for 7 days. Staff were really friendly and went above and beyond to insure we had a comfortable stay. Room was spacious and clean, there was a large bathroom with aid if you were a wheelchair user, honestly an 11/10. I’d definitely recommend staying here :)

Walk out on Christmas day and found this delightful pub open. Serving draught Guiness and cider we were very happy especially as we were offered a delicious mince pie to accompany them. The place is beautifully done up, and they were serving Xmas lunch. The menu looked good so another day we'll book for food.

Interesting place. Water feature as soon as you're in the door and some tables have swing seats. Unusual but good looking selection of food on the menu that we didn't get to try, but customers coming out on our way in commented on how great their food was.

Owing to our train being cancelled and being faced with a long wait on a very cold platform we sort refuge at The Vale York. We received a very warm welcome from the Landlord and Lady. We were served well with hot drinks and mince pies in a warm relaxed environment. Here we could rearrange our onward travel arrangements. Thank you all for your kindness and hospitality.

The customer service was outstanding, the staff went above and beyond to make everything enjoyable. They cooked a vegan meal specifically and gave us a lift in and out of Thirsk , we could not ask for better service
What a find!! Incredible food , brilliant staff and a really fun environment. Fine dining with a relaxed atmosphere. This place is must!! Definitely returning and can't wait.

A dated and tired interior and a menu that was trying to be something it's not, with underwhelming food. The attempt to garnish my fish and chips as if it were on MasterChef led to cold mushy peas dotted with spots of tartar sauce and micro herbs. Sad, since the fish was actually really good apart from the flavour of old oil on the batter.

Warm welcome. Place was empty. Pictures of food, menu and interior are incorrect for what it is now.Absolute rip off for you get. Beef ravioli from the appetiser was described as being served in a small bowl which was fine, until it came…5 pockets of pasta and a load of tomato sauce in a tiny bowl costing £11.95 ?!!! Absolute daylight robbery. I could’ve bought the ingredients and made it all at home cheaper for what I paid tonight. Dreadful.Had to ask for the bill as staff were talking then one left and the other playing on her phone.Won’t be returning! Would definitely suggest trying other places before coming here. At least you’ll get value for money and not ripped off.

We visited with our family and were made to feel very welcome. Great selection of drinks available. Looking at the pictures on other reviews the decor and seating has been renovated and improved. Is also dog friendly.Parking: Free parking at the front and side of the venue.Kid-friendliness: Children were very welcome.Wheelchair accessibility: On ground level with ample access
