STARTERS:
My choice here might well be the Seared Hand-dived Scallops or Wild Mushroom Soup having said this there are many others to choose from

MAIN COURSE:
Fresh local produce and a chef who knows what to do with them is the order of the day.

Seabass, Whitby Cod, Beef, Wild Yorkshire Venison are just some of the mouth watering dishes available.

fresh vegetables are carefully chosen as an accompaniment to each of the main courses.

PUDDINGS :
Assiette of Middlethorpe Puddings: this is THE recommended choice of the house. All freshly made these small portions of a number of the puddings are just sooooo tasty!
