This 16th-century former farmhouse sits in a sleepy village close to the Humber Estuary. It’s an area rich in agriculture, so it’s no surprise to find local ingredients to the fore on the surprise tasting menu, be they from regional producers, nearby farms or the long-standing owners’ smallholding where they rear animals and grow veg. The chef's personality shines through in the full-flavoured dishes, from nods to his Yorkshire roots to refined takes on his favourite foods, like chicken tacos and lamb kebab. Sumptuous bedrooms mix classic character with modern comforts.
WebsiteLook for the church spire to help you navigate through the maze of country lanes that lead to this charming 15th-century pub, which was originally the gatehouse of Dalton Park. The Yorkshire larder is well-represented on the menus, with numerous daily specials reflecting what’s best in season. Unfussy, instantly recognisable dishes like dressed crab are elevated thanks to the exceptional ingredients and the kitchen's keen sense of balance. The charming team ensure everyone is looked after with a smile, and smart bedrooms add a luxurious edge.
WebsiteRun by a pair of friends and located among some fine buildings in the old part of town, this buzzy spot operates over two levels. The ground floor houses a bar and bakery, while the upstairs is home to the rustic two-room restaurant. The menu fuses small plates with larger dishes, often coming from the grill – or ‘hearth’ – that takes centre stage in the open kitchen. Start with sourdough from the bakery, then make sure you check the boards for daily specials, as you might get to enjoy delicious seasonal produce like Yorkshire grouse.

WebsiteThis smart, modern restaurant occupies one wing of an impressive Grade II listed former courthouse and has a sheltered courtyard terrace for warmer days. It’s run with passion by twins Michele and Matthew, whose menus mix traditional dishes with some more modern, creative choices.
WebsiteDon’t be put off by its location next to the cement works, as this rustic, nautically themed pub with Humber views is definitely worth the visit. Carefully prepared British dishes display touches of originality and are full of flavour, with top quality ingredients leading the way and fruit and veg from their own smallholding. Meats are aged in a glass-fronted drying cabinet and cooked in the Josper oven; some are designed for sharing and they even offer Wagyu. Bedrooms are modern and some have estuary views.
WebsiteSlawomir Mikolajczyk from The Hope & Anchor in South Ferriby has given this town centre spot a top-to-toe refurbishment and it’s a place you’ll quickly fall in love with. The smart, wood-clad interior features shelves bursting with jam, pickles and preserves; in winter you’ll likely find some in your meal, such as pear and beetroot chutney with creamy duck liver parfait. The cooking as a whole is overtly seasonal and strives for a nose-to-tail approach, while Mikolajczyk’s Polish heritage comes into play too, including his grandmother’s sauerkraut recipe.
