The Old Red House - Hambleton

The pub was fantastic, with excellent service. It was dog-friendly, which was great, and they had the game playing on the TV.

The pub was just okay, but it lacked atmosphere and had a very limited drink selection. They were out of both beer and Guinness when I visited, so you could say it was a pub with no beer. There are definitely better pubs in Thirsk.

We reserved a spot in the car park for our motorhome to stay overnight, which was free as long as we spent money in the pub. We enjoyed a delicious Sunday carvery and were happy to find that dogs were allowed in the pub and the beer garden. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. We would definitely recommend this place.

Great place for a bite to eat and something to drink before and after races

This USED to be a great value place to eat and drink. BUT now it’s really downgraded. Don’t get me wrong if you enjoy the staffs screaming kids running around bumping into to you then its the place to go. The food used to be hot tasty and a realistic price but now its all frozen veg overpriced small cold portions and pricey beers. The toilets always stink. Still no lock on the ladies door. The outside area is always a drab mess which when nice weather has the same kids kicking footballs about. The staff always look miserable and non helpful and treat it as a family crèche and family gathering event rather than immerse themselves into what could be a rather profitable business. Give this place a swerve ….. don’t get me started on The Vale of York either
