This small cafe is situated at the back of St.James Parish Hall which is next door to the church…read more The cafe was created when an arts centre was created in the hall and undercroft. It is a friendly place with hugs friendly chats and a listening ear on the menu.It is a place to go if you have time to spare and the lunches are good value and there are assorted snacks. The homemade cakes are very tempting.It is a good place to visit if you want to make informal inquiries about the activities on offer in the centre. There is a small outside area which is pleasant on a nice day and it is easy to forget that you are close to a main road . The cafe only opens weekdays and only for a few hours a day.

The difference here is everything is so fresh and tasty. The place is spotlessly clean and the staff chatty and welcoming. Expect to pay £4.60 for 'one of each'. There are reductions for senior citizens. No criticisms whatsoever. Gets my vote as the best in town.

Staff are extremely friendly and very helpful. Prices are unbelieveably good value. The last time I went I had chicken & leek pie with mash and vegetables - I couldn't finish it because the portion was so generous and the cost was only £3.95. The same food in a restaurant would have been over £10 and vertainly wouldn't have been all home-cooked that day. I have also been to a couple of functions where the Wynd Pantry have done the catering and their buffets are fantastic! So much choice and beautifully presented. There are some outside tables and chairs available in the summer and it is very pleasant to sit out with a coffee and watch the world go by.

You wouldnt expect it to be wonderful, and it isnt. For what it is though, its ok. Its a take out place with a few wooden picnic tables to sit at, although theres plenty of parking nearby if you prefer to sit in your car. They sell teas, coffees, various cold drinks, snack foods such as crisps, chocolate and so on, as well as an assortment of sandwiches and slices of (supposedly home made) cakes. Prices are pretty much what you might expect, and while its nothing special, it serves its purpose if you're out and about and feel like a snack or a drink. After many years in its current guise, the Oasis will apparently be converted into what has been described as 'a high class fish restaurant' over the next few months. Time will tell

Figaro's Ristorante is a small Italian restaurant in the centre of Pickering. We managed to get a…read moretable by just getting there early, but on subsequent evenings as we wandered past it was full at the same time, so its best to book, as this was in winter! The restaurant itself has a stylish modern feel, with modern furniture, black and white photos adorning the walls, and a small corner bar area. The staff were enthusiastic and friendly, nothing being too much trouble. Menu wise there was a massive selection including a long list of antipasto, and extensive variety of main meals including pasta favourites like carbonara and arrabiata, scattered amongst unusual dishes. There was also a wide variety of pizza, traditional and Calzone, and well as main meals like steaks, salmon and other seafood dishes. My wife went for the sea bass, which was both generously portioned and very flavoursome. I went for the Pizza Carnivaro (for carnivores), there was also one for vegetarians too! The combination of chorizo, salami, chicken etc, was a winner, as was the side salad I ordered in a vain hope to be healthy, which was enormous, enough to feed three! Drinks wise there was a large wine selection, as well as a good variety of soft drinks and bottled beers - the Peroni was a little expensive though. Only two minor negatives, we ordered a Cappuccino, but the machine had broken down, nothing to worry about really. The second was the vacuous and loud conversation a neighbouring table were having, some people have no volume control. I initially thought of subtracting a star for this, but that would be churlish, this was a great meal, which deserves a solid four stars.

I booked a table for two for eight o'clock. We arrived about ten minutes…read more before and were shown to our table. Service was pleasant and friendly and we began with a bottle of Nero d'Avola which was good. For starters we had the Olives and bread which consisted of four olives and two slices of bread. My partner had A goats cheese and tomato salad which was very stingy on the cheese. I had a mozzerella and tomato salad with basil on it. However the basil finely chopped and appeared to have been chucked on, as opposed to torn in to nice chunky bits, and there was no olive oil as per a classic Caprese salad. Also to share we had what was advertised as Sardinian flat bread or carta musica. I have eaten this in Sardinia and what we were served was simply not it. It was a basic garlic bread with rosemary on. Don't get me wrong it was very nice but to call it Sardinan flat bread is misleading to say the least. For mains we both had the ten ounce fillet steaks which arrived looking very lost on the big plates they came with. My partner had the gorgonzola sauce and I had a green peppercorn sauce. They were served seperately in a bowl on the plate. They both looked the same, like custard. On tasting it became obvious that they have used the same sauce base and just added a bit of cheese to hers and some peppercorns to mine. I did complain that the sauce was terrible but it did not appear to get back to the kitchen. The steaks, although small, were well cooked and tasty. With it came saute potatoes and a few veg of green beans, carrots and baby sweetcorn. These were ok. For desserts we had the Tiramisu. When they came it was soon obvious that they had been made for ages and had been sat in a fridge. I could not taste any coffee in it. Not good at all. With Limoncello, grappa and wine the bill was £86 after I had got them to knock off £2.50 for charging me for two portions of olives. Single shared toilet at the back is unfortunate as people often queuing outside. I certainly would not rush to get back here but the service and amosphere was good.Let down by some shoddy food and practices. Ok if you're passing through
