I visited The Old Vicarage wondering why they didn't have a Michelin star anymore. Much of my review is based on this.I felt the service was okay, it's better than your average restaurant. I think they hire people from the local college. This is fine but obviously they lack the polish!I also asked the main server a few questions and the answers were a 100% rehearsed.The food was amazing, it was all really delicious. One of the best meals I've ever had. I would definitely recommend getting the wine pairing!The sommelier was very knowledgeable and chatty. He was very happy to share all his knowledge about the different wines and his journey on becoming a sommelier.I'm not sure why they don't have the Michelin star anymore, I think it could be cos of the service but maybe the menu isn't very innovative. Although it is insanely delicious!!!!

An excellent place for that special occasion ?Vegetarian options: The 9 course taste menu only required 2 course changes for our vegetarian eater. Both were very much appreciated.Parking: In the grounds

We visited the old vicarage for a birthday treat. We found the menu to be very restrictive. We chose the 7 course tasting menu. We were told this was a taste journey only to find it was a salt fest. We left before the 7th course the 6th course just about finished us off. Even the yogurt sorbet was salted, when we asked for the wine list they brought an iPad to look at and then said it wasn’t up to date all in all not a nice experience.

Absolutely Fantastic food and wine. There were six of us and We had the 7 course tasting menu with wine flight. What can I say all the dishes were flavoursome and just tasted wonderful. We had full explanations from the lady in charge. How the sommelier matched the wines so well I do not know but I am not a wine connoisseur but they were just perfect. The waiting staff were superb and the way they coordinated serving was impressive. We had a thouroughly enjoyable evening. We thought we were rushed at the end that’s why it’s not five stars. We will definitely be back.

What an amazing experience. I’ve wanted to visitThe Old Vicarage for a long time. A family birthday and anniversary gave us the perfect opportunity to go for a very special meal. Even the journey along the old driveway that leads to TOV adds intrigue. We were greeted by a very friendly and knowledgeable front of house lady and after initial drinks, we're seated. We opted for the premier menu at £85. Additional wine flight was £45. The restaurant prides it's self on British produce that is seasonal. Every course was delicious and well thought out, combining fantastic gastronomic knowledge with lovely aesthetics, to deliver amazing food. The dining room it's self has a calm and refined air about it and hosts what I think was 10 tables. The decor was well thought out and was in keeping with such a grand venue. All in all, we loved every part of our evening and will return!

This has to my favourite restaurant of all time, the food is always amazing and the Andrew's wine knowledge is breathtaking and he is so passionate. The food packs so much flavour and texture in every dish. This is a gem in not just Yorkshire but the UK

We were gifted this dining experience as a wedding present and on arrival found the Old Vicarage to be a beautiful venue with delightful grounds. On booking, they had been told I was vegetarian but seemed unaware of this on my arrival as I was presented with the meat menu. At the end of the meal we were told the bill would be produced. We were really taken aback as we had already discussed that it had been a gift. We were also slightly embarrassed as this conversation took place in front of diners in the main dining room. Both the food and the service was exceptionally good but at this level of dining it just needs a bit more attention to detail to make it a perfect dining experience.
Fantastic food in a relaxed ambience. Real quality The array of dishes was superb with combinations we hadn’t had before Small quaint but sophisticated dining room Staff were friendly and informative Surroundings were lovely in the atmospheric old Vicarage Had the superior menu and wine pairings. So so good Can recommend enough

Everything about this place is absolutely top-notch. The food is fantastic and the ambience is perfect. A lovely setting and very friendly staff. It also offers incredible value for this standard of restaurant. In fact I find it hard to believe there is anywhere better in the UK

From the moment we stepped through the entrance to leaving, the overall experience was superb. We were warmly greeted by a wonderful host who made us feel comfortable in the lounge with a whole host of knowledge for our pre-dinner drinks. We were escorted to our table and I can only say that the service and food was outstanding. Perfect in every way. The taster menu was excellent and good value for money. Will most definitely return and recommend. Thank you
