Castle Inn - Selby

Shame the current team seem to be leaving, we have enjoyed it immensely

Stayed here on many occasions over the last 5 years always had a great time . Food is lush definitely recommend the burgers! Staff are always friendly and helpful

This is a fabulous country pub and if I was able to give it more stars, I would. If this was closer to home, we would be here all of the time and we would probably be the size of a house. We stumbled upon the pub through a quick search for nearby food places to the Premier Inn nearby and it was such a wonderful, flavourful meal with lovely friendly staff. I opted for the burger which was really tasty, especially the beef with cheese combination and the triple cooked chips are probably worth coming in for on their own. Beautifully crispy and piping hot when they arrived. My fella opted for the rabbit ballotine as he hadn't tried rabbit before and although it looks small, it came with a cottage pie side. The gravy was especially delicious (homemade stock with port and wine from the secrets we managed to find out from the chef) and the potato topping on the pie was creamy with a glorious cheesy flavour. We opted for puddings too (apple Tarte tatin and lemon meringue pie) and we ate them before we could take a picture The pub itself is a good size with free parking at the back and an accessible entrance. We did phone ahead to book but as it's midweek it wasn't necessary. I honestly don't know why it wasn't absolutely packed, because it was stunning and I can't recommend this place enough!

Wow, what a gem of a restaurant! We were staying just south of York for a mini break and we found this awesome country pub after a quick search on Google Maps. We inadvertently stumbled across one of the best restaurants we'd ever been to. The food was absolutely to die for. I'm just back at my hotel and I'm still day dreaming over the gravy served with the ballotine of rabbit. And the cottage pie that came with it....oh my god...it was heaven. I would've licked the plate clean if I could. The chef is a genius. The staff told us he trained in a Michelin starred restaurant and I can well believe it. And the best bit...the value. Two courses and and soft drink came to £30 each....for a fine dining experience!!! If this restaurant was near where I lived I'd be there for every special occasion going. Our waitress was so friendly and cheerful and the chef even popped over to say hi, and happily gave me some gravy secrets. Please support this amazing new chef and team. They deserve to do well. A cosy, friendly pub with fine dining flavour sensation food at down to earth prices.

I've been to this pub in the past and have generally had pleasant experiences, particularly with their food offerings. However, my recent visit left much to be desired. Upon entering the pub on a recent weekend, my partner and I requested a table for two with the intention of enjoying some food. We were promptly seated but then endured a lengthy wait to be served. It wasn't until another group inquired about a table that we were informed there was no availability for food as the pub was fully booked. This revelation came as a disappointment, especially considering the lack of proactive communication from the staff regarding the situation. It would have been greatly appreciated if the staff had been more attentive and informed us of the food availability status upon seating us. This would have allowed us to make alternative dining arrangements earlier, preventing unnecessary delays and frustration. While I've had positive experiences at this pub in the past, this recent incident highlights the need for improved communication and customer service to ensure a more satisfactory dining experience for patrons.
