Crown And Cushion - Ryedale

We stumbled upon this hidden gem thanks to a last-minute search on Trip Advisor. We will definitely be returning to the area just to have the delicious steak and ale pie again. It is a must-try!

I couldn't find any faults, the food was superb, the service was good, and the pub was lovely.

Food was fine as usual service though was awful. Were not offered the usual bread olive dip to start that other tables got and have had before. Were not even offered dessert or menus for desert . Staff were generally sullen. Had to pay at bar as waited too long after i asked for bill. Worst of all when i was asked how was the meal when i paid i politely gave my opinion as above the rather precocious girl with an attitude offered no apology and just said that they were very busy and did not have staff . I remarked that i had been there since 7 pm and the restaurant was mostly empty so did not get the ‘busy’ bit she again no apology) just repeated they were busy and did not have staff. All she had to do was apologise and i would have felt slightly better about the whole experience. Not returning again

Lovely lunch stopover on the way to the East coast just a mile off the A64 and a nice country setting enjoyed the seafood platter and a pint of real ale and hope to return

We have visited the Crown and Cushion before and have always enjoyed the food. I made a reservation for a Saturday evening and the restaurant was bustling. Despite the busy atmosphere, our food and drinks were served quickly, the service was efficient and courteous, and our group left very satisfied with the overall dining experience.
