A charming old pub in the middle of a quaint, gorgeous village in Yorkshire between York and Whitby, The Crown was empty when we arrived in the early afternoon. They had a selection of bitters and cask ales. I had a piny of Wainwright and my wife a half shandy. The staff were very friendly. There was a fire blazing and we accessed their wifi as there was no cellular reception in the area while we enjoyed our drinks. We did not eat, but the menu looked nice although the prices were a bit steep for such an isolated location. They also have three double rooms that are ridiculously expensive, running between £200 and £220 per night in mid-February. The village is quiet and absolutely beautiful with old rock buildings and cottages as well as a creek running from the old church at the top of the hill through the small valley that surrounds Hutton-le-Hole.

We visited for dinner after a trip to the folke museum. The setting in the village is beautiful. We all really enjoyed all our meals and would definitely visit again when in the area and recommend to others. Very happy that it was dog friendly too.

We visited The Crown for Sunday lunch and had a delicious roast, the beef was tasty and tender and the Yorkshire as massive as other reviewers have suggested. We had our dog with us, she’s not a great fan of pubs but we were kindly given a nice table where we could keep her out of the way. The beer was spot on as was everything else about the pub. I’m sure we’ll be back next time we’re in the area!

From the moment we walked in the door to the moment we left everything was superb. The staff are excellent, the surroundings are great, the beer/cider selection is very good but absolutely the best of all is the food. Steak pie and chips, sausage and mash, veg and filo pie…..all of them were superb. We will definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone else.

We 6 went for a late Sunday lunch,4.30pm, wonderful hospitality, delicious food, amazing beer (Black Sheep Cask Best Bitter). The team were so friendly and helpful. We sat outside for one before we ordered, such a postcard setting! The Topside of Beef roast was 10/10, the Hare Pie got a rave review, the filo must roast was very well received. An excellent pub!

Had a meal here when we stayed for the weekend. We were greeted warmly and given a table by the window as it was fairly quiet. It was a small menu but enough to keep us occupied, and as soon as we saw the venison shepherds pie we were sold! And it was as good as we anticipated. Good pub grub in a lovely village.

Called in on the off chance and what a success it was, the staff were friendly, efficient and helpful, the atmosphere in the pub great and the food, gammon steak and burger with lots of accompaniments lovely and the chips just yummy, we were told it was a limited menu but still had lots of choice. Food served within a short time and eaten within an even shorter time, cannot recommend too highly.
We booked last minute for an evening meal, and had such a lovely time. The pub feels cosy and welcoming, which was matched by the staff. My children were chatted to and made to feel welcome too. The food was excellent, with Yorkshire sized portions. The only slight 'criticism', and this is me being picky, was the 'al dente' veg was a little too al dente. Cannot for the life of me imagine why anyone could critise the service here- Hutton le Hole is such a little hidden gem too.

Fantastic! Lovely old pub with rooms, bustling with customers at the bar and diners at the tables. Always a good sign. Really good, perfectly cooked Sunday roast. Generous hearty helpings, more if we had wanted. Just the spot after a lovely walk around this picture postcard village. Recommended.

Dropped in on the off chance for Sunday lunch. Despite being very busy the landlord found us a table for two after a short wait. (Just long enough to visit the deli over the road) Two Sunday roasts, one beef the other turkey, were excellent. As was the pint of Theakston’s! My only complaint is that the roasts were so huge I couldn’t manage a pudding! An obviously well managed establishment.

Great find in a really beautiful village. Nice range of homecooked meals using local ingredients. Highly recommend the beef stew and the eton mess using local raspberry icecream. Advise booking a table as they are really popular
