“ Great Sunday lunch with lovely staff and a nice atmosphere! The food was well presented and really tasty; only improvement would be the slightly dry roast potatoes but everything else was perfect. The set menu was really reasonable and had plenty of options! Would definitely recommend the fish and chips and the sticky toffee pudding the Yorkshire pudding was one of the best too! Have already recommend to family and would certainly come back! ”
“ Really good Sunday lunch at the bay tree in stillington, the portions were very generous and it’s easily the best Yorkshire pudding I’ve ever had. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The prices are also very reasonable. Hopefully the fire will be on next time we go in the pub has a very cosy and relaxed vibe. ”
“ Came across this pub while searching somewhere local to where we was staying. I’m so glad we found it. From the minute we walked through the door there was a warm welcome, table decorations for my partners birthday, the food was so amazing. We was a little full after our dinner so skipped desert but they again went out of their way to bring us a brownie plate with a happy birthday message. Thank you for making our last evening in York such a memorable one. We will most definitely be back on our next trip to York. ”
“ We have been to this restaurant several times. Great food every time. We are even take our dog in with us. Lovely friendly atmosphere and very homely. Superb staff and we have recommended that people do take a visit. ”
“ What a gem of a Pub, We were over this weekend visiting York. Needed to find a nice Pub meal for Saturday evening. Before heading home. Highly recommend the Bay tree if you're in the area. Great service and top class food. ”
“ Decided to try out the Sunday Lunch here as it was our wedding anniversary but completely forgot it was also Fathers Day. That didn't matter because there are plenty of tables and even though it was busy, we were seated straight away. There was an understandable wait before we received our food, but it has a lovely ambience in the dining area and we happily chatted until our food arrived. We had 2 roast beef dinners, which were lovely,( albeit the meat was too rare for our personal tastes) the gravy, mash, roast potatoes and the Yorkshire Pud were stand out stars for us. We both chose a lemon tart for pudding, and my word it was incredibly scrumptious. We chatted with the owner for a bit and she was lovely and courteous, and a pleasure to talk to. A shout out to the young waitress who served us as she was very polite and didn't belittle me for wanting ketchup! Lol We would definitely visit again next time we're in the area ”
“ We've been the last two Sundays in a row. First time, restaurant was cold (obviously, the weather was awful and minus temperatures) but the food was delicious. This time, we booked for the bar area and it was perfect. Staff are just fantastic. Morgan (sorry of I've got that wrong) was great. Remembered us from the weekend before and even reminded my daughter what soft drink she liked and how I hate to be called "Sir" This time, we also spoke to the owner and she's delightful. Everyone is just friendly and treats you wonderfully. It's kind and inviting. The food. Is lovely. My eldest daughter is autistic (and even came the last time without earphones, I can't remember the last time I saw her without some on!) and a very fussy eater and clears her plate. We've only ever found one other place where she does that. The steak and Ale pie was delicious. My first meal was a Roast pork and that was also perfect. Everything about this pub is just perfect. Staff, food, ambience. Shame it's so difficult to get to (for us) but is definitely worth the trip. Can't wait to bring my (Southern, sorry) friends up to eat there next time they visit. Would definitely rate higher if I could. Thank you all for a lovely Sunday. Definitely the highlight of my week. Cavern x ”
