Booked the Bantam for a family gathering at lunchtime. The menu was clearly explained to us, and the advice on how many sharing plates to order was spot on. The range of food was varied and met everyone's preferences. None of the plates disappointed and the quality of the food was excellent. Well worth seeking out if in the area.

Loved our visit to Bantam. Food was delicious and portions were modest. We didn't feel we had overeaten. Definitely a place we will return to.

Fantastic food. A really interesting menu with a tapas and share approach to a variety of novel dishes. All cooked to perfection. A wee gem of a place.

Didn't understand the bit about sharing when we ordered, wasn't explained very well, too rushed, so had conventional 2 courses. Husband's dish was served on a flatbread, and one main ingredient was pigs cheeks - was not expecting in the form of lardons, so disappointing. If only the young staff would explain things better.

It was our second visit to Bantam, interesting wine menu and the food was amazing, a place not to miss when visiting Helmsley. The cheese gougeres were a highlight and the courgette pasta dish and chicken schnitzel were spot on, Dover sole was MEGA. We will definitely we back!

A great find. A small menu, but filled with delights, slightly limited for non meat eaters. The staff were exceptionally helpful, the service was well timed and attentive.

Lovely dinner here this evening. We’re staying in Helmsley for a couple of nights and thought we’d try it on a whim. Quiet, understated atmosphere, wonderful ham hock terrine and chicken schnitzel Caesar salad. Good service. Would recommend

What can I say, if I could give 10* I would. Lovely unpretentious restaurant, great friendly staff that know about their food and wine. Wonderful food and a great way of eating. Prices right, and no salt pepper etc on tables, now there’s a sign of a confident chef, as well he should be. Well Done.
