Harden's says

It's tasting menus only (for which you must book - they'll even open for lunch Thu-Sat if you book ahead) at this Yorkshire gem; our formula price is on the low side - the restaurant advises us to expect a per-head cost of around £100.

Paul & Liz Jackson are celebrating their tenth year at this ancient pub, which has overlooked the North York Moors since the twelfth century. Its decor and culinary style are fully modernised though, and its small fan club says it’s “a fabulous wee restaurant with lovely rooms”. It’s not a place to drop into though – it’s a tasting-menu-only format for which you are advised to allow 3 hours. More reports please!

“Hidden away in the countryside, with two bedrooms ideal for a romantic getaway”, Paul & Liz Jackson’s ancient (twelfth century) and picturesquely located inn overlooks the North York Moors. Not as well-known as some of its foodie rivals, it continues to win praise for its “excellent tasting menu”. In September 2021, it was crowned AA Restaurant with Rooms of the Year.

A “fabulous and ancient inn run by Paul Jackson and his wife Liz”, overlooking the North York Moors. Paul is a “a self-taught chef who produces some of the most spectacular food, in highly imaginative tasting menus” (the only option, and running at either six or eight courses, with “veggie options very good”). Once again, all who report can’t rate the service highly enough.
