I don't normally write reviews but felt I had such a nice time here today I had to say so! Service was excellent and the food...was on point � we ordered a sharing platter for our mains and our deserts and every bit was delicious. We were actually quite embarrassed when our waiter came past us 5 minuets after placing our deserts down to see empty plates! � - would definitely recommend the sharing platters if you're indecisive!
Wow what can i say this place is an amazing escape for adults.....its not a drinkers pub ..

Only our second visit but my wife and I will definitely be back. Great service, friendly, pleasant staff, the food is top quality, shouldn't really have had the pudding but we did and it was spot on. A very nice venue with ample parking. Well worth the 5 stars I have given.
Our server, Charlie was absolutely lovely. Great service, great food. Will definitely come back again. Thank you for the wonderful experience.
Very vintage. Food was really nice. We had fish cake and chicken burger and for the desert we had honey pot. Desert was the highlight of our meal. Pot was made out of chocolate and inside it t had some more chocolate served with ice cream. We been twice while we were in North Yorkshire. They had outside sitting area which was really nice in warm weather. Must go to place.
Pretty regular customer (birthdays, meals out, etc) and food is always delicious. Went for the Christmas Menu with family and it was next level. The portions were huge! The vegetables were cooked to perfection and full of flavour, the gravy was hot and right consistency, the turkey was juicy! I can't remember the last time I truly enjoyed turkey (I usually just know it's quite a dry meat and am OK with that as I only really eat it at Christmas). I was so full from lunch time, I didn't eat again that day. Friendly staff, timely service and beautiful layout, nicely decorated and maintained log fires.
Very warm welcome, seated and served drinks very quickly. Our Sunday lunch only took around 10 mins from ordering and the quality and portion sizes were fantastic!
Only feedback would be that we weren't asked if we wanted our bill when the rest of the visit was table service and we had to go to the bar after waiting a little while.
lovely ambience. good service. valuue for money food. Went here again in June 2023…..weekday lunchtime …..EXCELLENT again, lovely friendly service ….. keep up the good work and we’ll always travel to this lovely pub
A group of us (8) visited The Tawny Owl tonight for a birthday celebration. We received a friendly greeting upon arrival and were shown to our table by the lovely Carly who was our server for the night. Our food order was quite varied with our group ordering different items from the menu, the food arrived in a timely manner and to be honest all of the plates were left empty, the food really was very good. A great night was had by all, the place is lovely, the staff are very attentive and the menu and food was excellent. Prices are very reasonable, a couple of drinks each along with a main and dessert worked out at around £35 a head. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending The Tawny Owl for your next night out.
The tawny owl is our go to if we go out for a meal so chose the pub to have a meal to celebrate my mums 80th birthday. I popped in on Sunday night and was greeted by Lottie who was professional and friendly and extremely helpful and again when I dropped some balloons off in the afternoon before our meal that night. When we arrived I saw Lottie again and was met with a lovely greeting. Our main server for the night was Carly who was equally lovely, friendly and professional. I’ve never had a bad experience here and highly recommend this pub. Thank you to the team (especially Carly and Lottie) for helping to make my Mums birthday extra special.
First time I had visited this pub and the service was great. We were served by Debbie who really went the extra mile especially addressing my dietary requirements. Debbie has a natural talent to not intrude but at the same time is very observant of customers and their needs.
Great experience - will be back.
We were served by Carly and Lottie. Carly is always so friendly and helpful, every time we go, treating us like special, valued customers. Nothing is too much trouble for her and she is so nice to my five and eleven year old granddaughters that it makes our visits very special. our food was good and the service was excellent.
