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.

The village of Haxby is not exactly the beaten path but this pub has lots of local flavour and most of the folks in there were locals. If you get your meal before 645pm there are early bird specials and we took advantage of that both of us having the steak and ale pie which was really excellent served with chips and a fresh green salad. Lots of selection on the menu and a good dessert menu as well. It's a free house so there was a good selection of beers and ales and a really great selection of gin (gin corner) behind the bar. The waitresses were attentive and friendly and we had beer and food in no time at all. Highly recommend.

We ate an early dinner at this pub three days ago and it was quiet at that time (except for…read morebackground music which wasn't too terribly loud), as only one other couple was there. We ordered two starters - which were only 2.50 pounds/each for a limited period - and two entrées (from a limited list) for only 8.95 pounds/each. I had the mushroom soup, which was a decent-sized bowl with lots of mushrooms and it was very tasty. My husband had the stuffed mushrooms, which turned out to be deep fried and he said they were just "fair". We both had the vegetable risotto, which was *delicious*. Two young women were working there; one took the orders and the other brought out the food. The former one in particular was very snarky initially, and we also overheard her say some nasty things after we'd placed our order and had sat down at a table. However; eventually they both mellowed and became pleasant - and especially after we'd told them how delicious the food was.

Best find on holiday ever!!…read more Set in a beautiful little village with a huge village green with loads of parking round and about (although im sure that on a mid summer sunny day parking may be somewhat difficult!). The pub has a bar area and a restaurant area - we only ever went into the bar as you could eat int here and it was really cosy (dogs are also allowed!). The staff were incredibly friendly and chatty (lets face it, Yorkshire, particularly North Yorkshire folk are possibly the most friendly on the planet - i challenge you to disprove this!). The food was INCREDIBLE. Nothing fancy pants, just really good food, VERY big portions (trust me on this, you dont need three courses - choose your weapon of starter or dessert to go alongside your main - we made the mistake one night and 1) couldnt eat it all and 2)pretty much rolled home). We spent an evening in the pub, had a meal and then sat playing card games - we felt incredibly welcome. So welcome that we ended up visiting three times in a week long holiday. You cant really get a better recommendation than that can you??

We ate here, I had the Steak which was a bit over done despite asking for it medium rare but apart from that it was a pleasant enough meal, my partner had the ploughman's lunch which she enjoyed but would have preferred a crusty roll rather that the soft roll offered. The pub also sells a few groceries including fresh bread and veg it is also a dog friendly pub having rescued a couple of dogs themselves and even has a dog bar outside. If you are staying at the caravan and camp site nearby the pub does a full English breakfast for only £2.99 on Saturdays & Sundays between 9.00am & 10.00am and homemade pizzas all day.

We should get to call all their male bar staff Basil, the female, Sybil and Terry for those workers who don't identify with these genders. I noted that all the male staff wore thin, cheap shirts and trousers so worn out they were shiny. They had a darn good range of beers and darn decent porter mind. At just £15.80 for three pints and a large glass of wine they offered great value for money. That brings 5 stars and allows us to tolerate the staff. The place was packed so the recipe is working for the owner. They are along the riverside with outside cheap seating, right beside the Ouse river and geese strolled around as we sat and chatted in warm sunshine. If they did actual food I didn't notice. As we walked inside to the bar to order our first drinks we encountered staff challenging a chap of much advanced years, dressed like a drab Quentin Crisp, who attempted to use his mobile phone in the pub. I later spotted him outside, drink in one hand and mobile phone against his ear, he was chatting, leaning against the wall trying unsuccessfully to look nonchalant. They describe themselves as a 'digital detox pub'. The chief rule is no mobile phones as they want customers to talk to each other. How novel, quirky and eccentric in the 21st century. No swearing and no music either. Them rules are strictly enforced and you will be evicted if them rules ain't followed promptly. If I'm ever in York again I'll be sure to return for the stout and the insults.
