The Pheasant Hotel

"This as simply exceptional. Calves liver done in most interesting way, pheasant to dream of, all in a wonderful environment. Service combination of professional and warm and friendly. A favourite! "

"A most enjoyable three day stay at this excellent hotel in Yorkshire. Rooms, food etc were very good and Jacquie Pern's attention to detail and hospitality were second to none. An excellent establishment."

"The lovely setting, with the sun shining and the garden with its pond, puts the diner in a good mood to enjoy lunch which, here, is a serious step above pub food with a carefully prepared selection of dishes and an interesting wine list with a couple of notable English representatives. Our first courses, extremely tasty crab risotto and very good local asparagus with salmon, led into a satisfying rabbit pie and some wild sea bass with crispy skin and lovage velouté. Our desserts were just as successful, an affogato that was almost criminally generous and presented with an extra dousing of strong coffee, and chocolate cake contrasted with olive oil ice cream and a slightly gingery Breton biscuit. Wine is clearly taken seriously to judge by the Coravin selection, but my red was served in a smudgy glass and the bottles not shown until I requested a new glass and to see the bottles. Nevertheless, very enjoyable and good value for money."
