An outstanding pub/restaurant (I'm not a fan of the term gastro-pub) that offers fantastic food without breaking the bank.
No doubt about it, this place is a real find. Actually, it takes some finding -- it's hidden away in the small North Yorkshire village of Marton, in between Pickering and Kirbymoorside (about 5 miles from each). But it's worth the trip, as the food on offer is out of this world.
The number of awards they've picked up (Dining Pub of the Year etc) is testimony to the high quality of the food they produce. As one might expect, much of it is locally-sourced, and indeed some of it is grown in the owners' back garden.
The atmosphere of the place is very homely, and all in all this is a great place for a meal out. We cannot recommend it highly enough.
