Orla was so attentive despite the Black Friday rush. My negroni was just right, not too sweet. The whole vibe felt calm even with the crowd.

Decent fish and chips, and the portions are generous for the price. The seating is a bit cramped, but it&#39;s a handy spot in the centre.

This little takeaway spot is just right for a quick bite on the go. I love that the pies are made fresh all day long&mdash;caught a warm one straight from the oven. The line moves fast, too.

The veggie breakfast is a solid choice for a weekend brunch with friends. They open early, which is handy!

The cheese and bacon rolls here are a real treat. Just had one fresh from the oven, the cheese was perfectly melted and gooey. A bit on the small side for the price, but honestly, I&#39;d probably get another.

The lamb kebabs are pretty good, especially with the chilli sauce. A solid choice for a late bite. It&#39;s a bit loud inside, but fine for a quick meal.

Lovely, welcoming team. The food is beautiful, especially the freshness of the ingredients in the salad. You can really taste the quality. The atmosphere was relaxed and the service was attentive. A very pleasant spot for a light lunch.

First time here. Steaks were fantastic, really hot and cooked just right. The place itself is warm and cozy, staff were friendly. A solid spot for a casual meal.

The coffee was good, strong and not bitter. Sat by the river, the view of the old viaduct was nice. Just a decent spot to have a cup and watch the water.

Quick service, and the small fish and chips with peas was huge! Easily fed three of us. Perfect for a casual catch-up with friends where you just want to share and chat. The vibe is relaxed, no pressure to rush.

The food is cooked fresh when you order, which is nice. I had a pudding and the pastry was perfectly crisp. The staff were very friendly and happy to help, whether you&#39;re just popping in for a coffee or a proper meal. A comfortable spot.

Only does takeout, but they&#39;re quick. Really good veggie options and the prices are spot on. Just what you need for a simple, fuss-free meal.

The menu&#39;s variety is nice, but I really appreciated the fresh ingredients in the veggie curry. You could taste the quality of the produce. The portion was a bit smaller than expected, but the flavours were clean and well-balanced.

The fish fingers in the sandwich were massive! Shared the skin-on chips with my mates, perfect for a casual catch-up. Portions are definitely generous, no one left hungry.

Service was spot on. They were friendly, kept us in the loop about the wait, and the sommelier had a great suggestion for a red to go with our steaks. Made the wait feel shorter.

Loved the vibe here, really cosy and relaxed. The French toast was delicious, just the right amount of sweetness. A nice spot to unwind for a bit.

Loved the courtyard entrance, so inviting. A nice spot for lunch after the castle.

Came here twice last week, which says it all. The lamb shank was rich and fell off the bone. Their wine list is well-curated &ndash; the Malbec was a great match for the dish. Staff are genuinely friendly. A solid spot.

Nice spot for a quick bite. The outdoor area has a decent view of Richmond Castle. Staff were friendly, even gave my dog a treat. Food came out fast, which is perfect for a lunch break.

Booked a table for Sunday lunch. The portions were huge - my roast was piled high and the sides were generous too. Couldn&#39;t sit in the garden because of the wind, but the view over Richmond looked lovely. Left feeling very full.

Dog-friendly pub, which is a big plus for me. The whole place is spotless, even the loos. My spaniel was very happy with the water bowl they brought out.

Afternoon tea. Scones were light, especially the cheese ones. Sandwiches were homemade. Cakes looked lovely. Presentation was spot on.

Been coming here for years, it&#39;s the real deal. The ribs, chicken, and steak combo is always spot on - meat just falls right off the bone. Onion rings are crispy, corn&#39;s tender. Solid meal for the area.

Stopped by for a quick coffee. Ended up trying their homemade fruit scones - warm, with clotted cream and jam. Very good. Staff were friendly and efficient, which is what you need for a fast pit stop.

A lovely little place. Monica and Tony were so welcoming, they really made us feel at home. The room was very comfortable, especially the armchair by the window &ndash; perfect for a quiet read. A real find in Helmsley.

Had a lovely lunch here during my UK trip. The food was genuinely delicious, and the staff were so kind. The town itself is just beautiful and scenic.
