"5* simply because I can’t leave 10! Dropped in here in desperation today Easter Saturday) after travelling around to a couple of places and not being able to get a table. Thought we were off to the Chinese in Pickering when we stopped her and asked if dogs were allowed in? Yes we were told and then did they have a table for 2? Despite being full and tables reserved they found us one, we had to wait a bit to have our order taken but they did get us drinks straight away while we waited for them to deal with the party of 8 that came in just before us. When they did take out order I went for the sirloin steak and my wife the lasagna. This was finished with apple crumble custard and hot choc fudge cake custard. We can honestly say it all was cooked to perfection. The steak I haven’t had so good in a long time even when I’ve cooked it) and the wife’s lasagna was spot on too. Puddings tasted perfect too. Lovely, small, but reasonable quite pub considering it was full. Staff were outstanding, friendly, helpful and polite apologising for our wait which considering we dropped in on the off chance was our fault not theirs. The landlord was great. Joking and making us feel at home and actually wanted. As others have said, every pub needs a landlord like this. Our only regret was it was our last night that we popped in even though over the years we’ve driven past it so many times. If you want a well cooked meal at a nice quiet county pub with good service and polite staff you don’t need to look any further. We will definitely be back here when in the area. Thank you so much to all the staff."

"We think it's the nicest food we've eaten in years. We've tried a few Michelin one star restaurants and been disappointed. But this was exceptional throughout, and another plus we weren't hungry when we left. Bravo. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"

"My partner and i popped in here as we were craving proper fish and chips. I am so glad we did, the fish was moist and flaky and fresh, the batter is next level. The provenance of the ingredients are written on a board so you know where the fish is from. To top it off, cooked in beef dripping. Superb!"

"First time I've been here and I'll struggle to go anywhere else for takeout pizza now that I've tried this place! Food was hot with fresh ingredients and there was no oil or grease in the pizza box like you get with a lot of places. The staff were really friendly and helpful and all of the food was delicious. Try the arancini!"

"Very friendly. Pete and his staff are really welcoming and friendly, would recommend stopping here if you are looking to explore Whitby and the surrounding area, situated about 6 miles from Whitby in Egton village. Food is all home made and uses locally sourced meats and vegetables, nice selection of drinks and a lovely atmosphere with open fire and friendly locals. The accommodation is also Dog friendly too and there is a beer garden at the rear and benches at the front. Would definitely go back here"
