Best kept secret in the area. This 16th century pub/restaurant is run by a lovely couple (Dave and…read moreJackie) who make you feel welcome every visit. My wife and I have been coming here for nearly three years now and the food is still the best around. Sometimes you may have to wait due to everything being cooked fresh to order but it is well worth the wait. Look out for the specials board which has some of the unusual dishes not normally seen in other restaurants.

We couldn't resist the same starters as before- the smooth and seriously flavoursome Chicken Liver Parfait, along with the warm cheesy feast that is the Goat's Cheese Salad. Boyfie had the classic beef Sunday lunch and I had the slow roasted lamb. The portions (especially the lamb) were significant and everything on the plate was cooked with care and competence...all this served up with smiling, cheerful, attentive, excellent staff. Bravo. Bravo. Bravissimo :) It was a shame we were in a hurry so desert will have to wait for next time, but I was treated to a desert of the soul when I was offered two beautiful, bright, dizzyingly fragrant yellow roses from the garden as a thanks for adding the business to Yelp!! Warm fuzzy feelings of extreme happy?? You bet :) Make time for The Crooked Billet, go enjoy a walk then spend some quality time eating superb food in the friendliest pub you could ever wish for. Just a tip- Sunday's are busy so it may be worth booking, although you can eat in the bar or even outside.

This pub / restaurant was a good find…read more We called in quite by chance after seeing the sign on the main road. We were pleasantly surprised, the place has been recently refurbished in an attractive polo theme (liked the polo mallet curtain rails ;-) and offers a good menu at reasonable prices. The owner fitted us in (prior to another booking) despite being fully booked. Service was prompt for obvious reasons but not pressured. We had a section of meals in our party of 9 and all were happy with our choices. Fish and chips was a generous serving with minted peas with cider and interesting addition. Sunday lunch was accompanied by red white and traditional carrots that made for an interesting talking point ( the red - beetroot coloured carrots were delicious) could have done with more mash though but still very tasty. The quirky jam jar glasses and blackboard booking names places added to the overall experience. Highly recommend it!

They are very welcoming and the food has been very good, if you go on Mondays it is 2 for 1 on grills and we had 2 excellent rump steaks last time we went. It's a pity they are not busier as they really do deserve to be, the place is cosy, warm, clean and nicely decorated. It's unfortunate for them that the place has changed hands several times in the last few years and the reputation had suffered as a result. They also have a pool table, not so many pubs have now. Go on a sunny evening and sit outside by the river and watch the sunset, glorious!

If you are looking for a traditional country Pub, ran as they used to be alongside the farm, well…read morethis must be one of the last few remaining ones. If you can imagine walking into a friend's house and there in the corner is the bar just knocked together with a few bits of wood and a couple of tables and stools to sit at, well this is what's here. What you see is what you get not a great selection of beers but the Theakstons went down a treat (well actually several did). We sat in the garden overlooking the countryside unspoiled by any sounds other than that of the birds and sheep in the fields opposite. If you are after Juke Boxes, slot machines and the other trappings of modern pubs give this a miss, if you are after visiting the Scarborough area try and find this one you shouldn't be disappointed after all they way the pub trade is going at the moment it may not be here for many more years. I will probably get bought and turned into someone's home, shame if it ever does. The pub doesn't do food (only a few sandwiches) just a traditional pub.

Will say they have a very nice outside patio area. good for kidz. as for the last review i dont no how many places they eat at in a day because they ate at the inn on the green on there web reviews and also ate at the black horse on there site to same day interesting. m.banks

Middle of nowhere, casual dress, Michelin-starred…read more My husband and I went out of our way to eat and stay here. Was it worth the 3 hour journey from London (2-hr train ride, 1-hr by car) to make our reservation from 6-months earlier? Absolutely. Courses are small, but plenty. Staff are immensely courteous and thoughtful (they made a custom menu for our dietary needs and even had the chefs sign it before we left). And the setting couldn't be more idyllic. I'd suggest getting the wine pairing as it really completes the meal. Go ahead and stay the night as breakfast is included the next day. Just make sure to work out your travel from the train station to the restaurant. It really is out in the sticks.

Make sure to make a small detour to Kilburn to see The Kilburn White Horse which stands firmly in the hillside. The Black Swan is a beautiful picturesque old pub full of warmth and charm. Upon arrival you are welcomed into the bar area for aperitifs where a log fire crackles and glows. Make sure to notice the Robert Thompson mouse carved into the bar. Great selection of small batch gins - I enjoyed a glass of Sir Robin of Locksley from Sheffield with tonic. Amuse bouche are served here before moving upstairs to the restaurant. The Smoked Eel and Apple Tartlets were light and well balanced in their flavours whilst the Chicken Dumpling was rich, satisfying and would sit well on the finest of dim sum plates in Hong Kong. The restaurant is more modern in decoration with an "open kitchen" where some of the dishes are prepared with a clear artistic love and attention to detail. Service is friendly, knowledgeable and attentive without being intrusive. Good selection of wines for most palates and wallets. I had the 10 course tasting menu which, at £85, felt like a bargain compared to the price of Michelin starred food in major cities. To start, a Mussel with Oyster Leaf canapé - so perfectly decorated that it felt wrong to eat it, but so tasty. Next up Langoustine with Caramelised Whey, served like a lollipop with a twig to hold it with - lovely textures and cooked to perfection. Venison Tartare followed - a small dish but rich in flavour and beautifully prepared and decorated. Sour Bread and Sour Butter was distinctive and a good filler in preparation for the main courses. The Monkfish with Asparagus and Onion, although delicious, was probably the weakest dish. The sauce tasted like heavy sweet soy sauce and was a bit overpowering in its saltiness for the delicate flavour of the fish. Still very enjoyable though. The Slowly Cooked Crapaudine Beetroot was the star of the menu. Cooked in beef fat (I believe), the beetroot takes on a heavier composition and is chewy and almost glutinous with all of the accompanying decorations providing broad and bold flavours. Absolutely fantastic! Scallop Cured with Rhubarb was another standout with the smoothness of the slightly charred scallops countering the tartness of the rhubarb, all tied together with a rich and balanced sauce. Herb-Fed Chicken with Wild Garlic from this Year and Last was another amazing creation with a blanket over the chicken in the form of a garlic leaf. The chicken was more warm than hot but extremely tasty. The first dessert was ice cream (or iced yoghurt?) Lollipops which were wonderfully innovative with their unique flavours. The Sheep's Milk with Douglas Fir Oil was also an memorable dessert with natural tastes of the season. The final dessert, served with coffee was Cake made from Artichoke, Chicory Root and Thyme. The combination worked well although the chicory root (?) was slightly bitter. A great end to a fantastic meal and experience. For most who visit The Black Swan at Oldstead, a significant journey will be involved but don't let that put you off...It's well worth the effort and will be one of those great food experiences.
