Good value, staff are great but more needed at busy times.
a good pint and always friendly staff and the bonus of a log burner in the colder months
Pretty good! We’ve been here a fair few times since it opened, and it’s usually really good. However, we’ve had the occasional visit where it’s just not been *quite* there, which is a shame as we always tell people how much we enjoy visiting. Nothing worth complaining about - just a little bit lower than their usual really high standards. Back on the plus side, they’re possibly the place to visit for the best Sunday lunch in Pocklington, and some of the steaks from here would be hard to beat in any other venue!
Food was awful. It was wonderful when first opened. The staff were lovely and changed my food. It's a lovely place and I always used to enjoy and look forward to eating at Stamford. I wish you would stop trying to be fancy with your dishes and just stick to what you set out to be , quality, locally sourced food that is tasty. By the way, it is not acceptable to serve a chunk of cauliflower and call it a steak and serve with more cauliflower!
The meal was really very good but the service was a little less sharp. They managed to work themselves out of of a 20% tip by their non effective service. Right down to would you like to see the sweat menu? No, just a black coffee. No coffee ever turned up!!!!
