Saw the sign for the Dawnay Arms on the A64 on way back from visiting a local golf shop with my husband. Decided to give it a try, what a gem the food was excellent, fantastic menu choice. Great atmosphere and very friendly hosts. Will be more than happy to visit the local golf shop again in future if followed by a stop off at the Dawnay Arms, would definitely recommend

Dropped in on the off chance of some supper as I hadn't booked. Terrific food and speedy service, topped of with a cracking pint of Theakstons.

Wow, what a little gem! We booked this last minute for 2 and our dog, and we were blown away. The food was incredible, proper pub grub, a proper portion size! Hearty and warming, staff where lovely and attentive. Just about to ring to book a table for tonight! Highly recommend, the food was excellent. We had scampi & chips and a classic burger, nothing classic about the burger it was more like an ultimate deluxe burger, it was amazing!!

Sunday lunch was beautiful. Lots of different choice of potato & veg. We had the trio of meats. Brilliant service with a smile. Food came to us lovely & hot. We also had a starter of the chicken goujons which was also very nice. Will definitely be returning ?

Called in for dinner as staying just down the road at Wolds Way (phoned to make a reservation beforehand). Really impressed with the whole ambience. Lovely welcome and service (extra drinks brought to the table, no need to go to the bar). Food was generous in potions, beautifully presented and was fresh and tasty. The meal and drinks were excellent value for money. We will definitely return when next in the area.

Excellent one night stay. Our room was lovely, spotlessly clean and obviously recently refurbished. Food, absolutely wonderful, huge portions of freshly prepared local produce. The staff are friendly and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble for them. Will definitely stay again.

Welcoming and a good ambience. Plenty of variety on the menu, something for everyone. They were happy to exchange an item on the dish. Friendly waitress, chatty but not intrusive. We were not rushed and felt we could stay at our table as long as we wanted. Excellent food and good Yorkshire portions. Hope to return.

Visited the pub for lunch lovely Sunday afternoon with my husband and young. We sat outside in the glorious beer garden which had lovely views, an idyllic setting. First thing that struck me about this place from past experience with some small village pubs is 'outsiders' are often made to feel uncomfortable by the locals. Totally the opposite here, the locals were very friendly and greeted us with a hello when we walked in and the barman went above and beyond to give us the warmest of welcomes. My son had one of the speciality burgers, my husband the steak pie and I had a prawn sandwich and chips. All of which was just delicious but oh my........those chips!!! My boys have high standards on the homemade chip front and judged these chips as 'best ever'!!! The pie was equally as good and the sour dough which was homemade was amazing!! I ordered a side of chips......unfortunately not so good for me as never got to try many of them, the boys ate there's and most of mine!!!! What I did sample was superb!!! The barman checked we were enjoying the food and the chef (who I later found out was the landlord also) came out to check all was OK. Isn't that just nice? This is a genuine place, friendly staff and it is apparent the food is made using high quality ingredients which are cooked to perfection. Will defo return at some point, my son asked if we could return the following day but unfortunately we were heading in a different direction. P.s no photos I'm afraid the food didn't hang around long enough!!

Food is amazing freshly cooked and very tasty. Proper Yorkshire portions with extra gravy if required. Fresh local produce and you can tell, 5 very different meals every single one thoroughly enjoyed. Lots of care and attention to checking dietary requirements and allergies. Very reasonable pricing and really hospitable. Definitely one to recommend and return to

We were walking the Wolds Way, and after a long day walking, we found the Dawnay Alms very welcoming. Beer was great, Beer Garden was just perfect for that post walk beer. We were lucky to stay on Pie Night as the pies were excellent. All staff were very welcoming, and we very much enjoyed the stay
