Featured Great Ouseburn Restaurants
1. General Tarleton
British, Modern restaurant in Ferrensby
Boroughbridge Rd - HG5
This comfortable gastropub with rooms is well-known to some who travel the northerly reaches of the A1 (off which it is to be found) and was in days long gone by a sibling to the Angel at Hetton. After an up-and-down performance in recent years, it’s now been relaunched since August 2025 as part of Tommy Banks’s expanding northern empire and provides superior pub classics and more ambitious fare at restaurant-level prices. Reports please!
2. The Alice Hawthorn
British, Modern restaurant in Nun Monkton
The Green - YO26
“A great pub with rooms in a lovely village just outside York” which makes “a good meeting place in a village just off the A1” and whose contemporary style is very pleasing and slick (“dare one say it, very unlike the North of England....” says a Bradford-based diner). Service is “professional yet friendly” and “the varied menu remains consistent making it always a pleasure to go there”.

4. The Dawnay Arms
International restaurant in Newton On Ouse
2023 Review: “Whilst walking in the area, dropped in for lunch without prior knowledge – what a gem!". Kerry & Martel Smith’s rustic gastropub by the River Ouse, is consistently well rated. “The ambience and friendly welcome make it immediately a winner and that’s cemented with the tremendous cuisine”.
5. Chartwell
restaurant in Aldwark
Aldwark Manor Estate - YO61
Open in May 2024 on the Aldwark Manor Estate luxury hotel near York, this new restaurant doesn’t yet inspire a huge volume of feedback (too limited for a review) but looks worth investigating, with the odd report of “an amazing venue, with quality ingredients and a great atmosphere”. The room itself has a high-pitched roof and large windows overlooking the grounds, and the entry level menu is a seven-course selection for £95 per person.
