Pheasant Inn - Ryedale

Visited for Sunday lunch and have noticed the meat portions reduce every time. The pork was 3 small medallions cut very thin with soggy crackling. Vegetables were dry and the pork gravy was very thick. The beef was better both in taste and portion size but generally an underwhelming lunch. Also dislike the sommelier suggesting a bottle of wine at £85 a bottle.

We booked a special weekend here for a couple, including the meal, as they are real foodies. We are so embarrassed by their bitterly disappointing experience and lack of care by the staff. The steak arrived over-cooked (was ordered 'rare ' and when the customer sent this back, the waiter returned with a blue steak and an over-cooked lamb for his wife. There has been no apology and no care shown by the so-called general manager. This restaurant/hotel has always been our favourite in this area, under the old management, with the highest of reputations. However, sadly, it seems to have slipped very quickly. We gladly pay high prices for top quality food, and therefore we 'll continue to patronise the Star Inn at Harome and give the Pheasant a wide berth.

Went for a meal here last Saturday night, been lots of times before when it was owned by a local lady, was always very good. I had the steak, which was small, overcooked, I asked for medium, came with one strange looking mushroom, and a bowl of very average chips, £40 My wife had the cod, which was just OK, but the portions are tiny, you have to order sides if you want something resembling a meal! This place was always renowned for it's quality beer, but now it is very average I am afraid. Good points, the bread was good, the staff were excellent, but overall, for what you pay, there is better food and value elsewhere.

A beautiful property and setting for a birthday lunch on the terrace under the arbor. Ordered the steak and for GBP 40.00 I thought it would at least be a 250g fillet. Instead it was a thin cut and very disappointing for the price. Even the peppercorn sauce was extra! Still....can't fault the lovely waiting staff and Yorkshire in the sunshine!

Perfect Sunday lunch and overnight stay . Had brought my mum for her 80th Birthday, she absolutely loved it all. The hotel is beautiful and our meal superb. Liam the manager spoilt my mum and made her feel so special. Thank so much. We do hope to come back again .
