Heard about The Garden room Bar through colleague who's family own it. Absolutely amazing food. Whitby crab aranchini, wood pigeon to start, with gammon and taste of sea for main. We was too full for the Swan pavlova unfortunately. Staff were prompt and great service. The grounds and xmas decoration was beautiful. We've been coming to Sneaton for 4 years and cant believe we havent been here before
We had a fantastic roast here with great local produce, I had the roast beef which is from their own here that can be seen grazing around the grounds it came with a massive Yorkshire and lashings of rich gravy. My wife had the veggie chestnut roast which again came with all the trimmings and a special veggie gravy, which was nice to see it wasn’t just an afterthought! We went with our slightly nervous rescue dog and requested to be seated in a quiet corner. They did just that and he was as relaxed as we were. Great food great service and a lovely setting. Just a 30 minute walk from the heart of Whitby so well worth a trip if you’re visiting!
Got a great time staying there with friends for dinner! The restaurant is stunning! located in a castle with beautiful views around. The food was delicious, beautifully presented and very tasty. Our host Arnaldo was very professional and friendly. I truly recommend this place to everyone who is going to Whitby or around.
Sitting comfortably in the lovely dining room looking through the picture window towards the hills, I already felt relaxed and ready to enjoy my lunch. The menu had plenty of variety. The Thai salmon fishcakes tasted wonderful. Their presentation really warranted a photo. A very popular local venue successfully run by a local family.
Every now and again we stumble across and restaurant, cafe or hotel that stands out from the crowd. And we certainly found that here! We booked a belated valentines meal on the 15th as we had booked accommodation in Whitby for the weekend. I searched on maps for places with good ratings and with veggie options, as we are both veggie. I have to say it’s one of the best meals we have had in recent months, on par with some of the best veggie meals available in Newcastle. The food was excellent, and not an after though just to get some veggie options on the menu. There wasn’t loads of choice for vegetarian options, but we sampled all of them and they were fantastic. Really enjoyed sitting near the pass of the open kitchen, seeing all the dishes being played up. The service was excellent, it’s clearly a very well oiled machine both front and back of house. Highly recommended and we’ll definitely be back. Would be great to see more vegetarian dishes on the menu though.
