The Grapes Inn

Split into 3 main rooms each with their own extraordinary decoration, nice bar with local spirits and beers. The menu is varied and the food tastes amazing! Suggest it to anyone travelling through l.

We came here on a Sunday evening since we heard about great pizza and live music. We arrived at 7 PM and unfortunately they were already out of pizza and only had crisps and crackers to offer. We were already about to leave when a friendly couple from the table next to us offered to share their pizza - and it was delicious! So in the end we had a great evening with wonderful live music, good beer, delicious pizza and very nice conversations with friendly people in a good atmosphere. We can definitely recommend this place! But keep in mind that pizza is only served on Saturdays and Sundays from 5 PM - and better be early to get your pizza!

Excellent village pub, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Good selection of beers and food. Will hopefully get to visit there again.

During our stay at The Caravan & Camping Site on the edge of Slingsby village, we've enjoyed a couple of visits here before our evening meal at our tourer. A great pub. Spotlessly clean, great atmosphere & friendly staff.

Great genuine pub with good atmosphere. Limited menu but the specials board was great. Delicious sausage and bean casserole. Very tasty . Staff very friendly and helpful. Great beer choices too. Highly recommended.

Great friendly service, helpful and natural with it.
Great atmosphere, proper country pub, cosy too.
Food was excellent, I had the pork fillet, missus had the pie.
Both were excellent and freshly cooked, well done to the team.
Afterwards had a drink in beer garden, bit chilly but warmed up by the outside woodburner.
Always make a visit to the grapes when in the area, this time staying in Sheriff Hutton, but worth the journey up for a meal.
Dog friendly and staff attentive to our pooch too
Well done to all the team again, highly recommend

Excellent pub in lovely small village. Well worth a visit.Old peculiar and many other ales on tap. Real fire in the bar. Wood fired pizza a speciality. Long may it prosper.

Really lovely pub, with great outdoor space/garden with a space for over 100 properly spaced. We went during the day on Sunday and although they only had three BBQ items on the menu,( until 3pm when they serve wood fired pizzas), beef, chicken and veggie burger, we were not disappointed. We chose a burger and the butterfly free range chicken burger to share with our 5yr old. All served with chip with and upgrade to truffle and garlic on one chips. The burger was perfect served with home made bun and coleslaw and about 6 oz so enough for a big appetite, over 90/100 and would make me visit again when in the area. The chicken burger was even bigger at 8-10 oz and perfectly cooked tender and juicy. The prices are reasonable at 10 and 12 respectively and the chips again 9/10. It's a really nice environment, super friendly staff, not busy, has a several areas in the garden included ample covered space a gazebo with heater and fairy light. There is an outside bar which is fully stocked and has a billiard table. Worth the journey if you are visiting castle Howard or the arborium. No coffee or tea, which was a big shame since machines are so cheap now days...even a nespresso...
Definitely worth a visit and detour.
