In answer to your Q I would suggest Helmsley as a first choice. I wasn't too impressed the last time I went to Stamford Bridge and had a rubbish pub lunch there.

I like Helmsley...............love Rievaulx.

You like any type of wine Craft

Oh bother...you mean the abbey dontcha?

Ahem mrs_o...................just hide your common side for a bit.

Oh Bless you Mrs O, thank you. I got the map out a bit earlier and looked at Helmsley and I think I've been their when I went to Easingwold and Harome. Does that sound about right? Trouble is I can't remember it clearly at all, except I liked it. I'm sure there will be somewhere nice for lunch, not posh as we will have a few dogs with us. Maybe a pub garden would suit. And is there a good place for letting the dogs off? Ooh and what's Kirkbymoorside like please?

[mrs_overall]

That's a difficult one Craft.

Can't believe I typed their for there. Hope I beat the spelling police,

In my humble opinion Kirbymoorside is very average, nothing there of any note

Graham suggested Hutton le Hole on the other thread. Lovely tearoom and a nice little pub with glorious walks on the doorstep.

Wonderful atmosphere at Rievaulx craft.
Fountains Abbey is another cracker.

I can't help with the doggy situation in Helmsley cos I am not a pet owner

Oh, what about Pickering? They have a castle and plenty of places for pub lunches

I stopped for a drink in Pickering once many many years ago. I'm torn between Helmsley and Hutton-le-Hole but tending towards HlH as I've never been there. I've got to phone my friends later so I'll see what they think.
DT that pub looks smashing. I'll check first about the dogs if we decide to go there but I've just had a look at the menu and it's a definite maybe. Thank you.

Let us know where you decide ladybirder.
I also want a full report on your day out when you get back ;-)

[ladybirder]
