The Pheasant Hotel

North Yorkshire, Harome - Modern British - Restaurant - £££

Boutique hotel dining back on form

Overall Rating: Good

Uniqueness:Does the establishment stand out in the context of the local area? Very Good

Warmth:How warm is the service and the hospitality in general? Good

Strength of recommendation:How enthusiastically and widely would you recommend the establishment? Good

In recent years, the charming Pheasant Hotel has suffered from a lack of leadership in the kitchen. The appointment of Adam Westgarth as head chef has changed all that and returned the Pheasant to its rightful place as one of the top dining rooms within our Most Exciting Food Destination of 2024: Helmsley and the Howardian Hills. Three miles south of Helmsley, Harome is better known as home to the estimable Star Inn, but the Pheasant with its comfortable public rooms, a sunny terrace overlooking the village duck pond and 16 bedrooms, can easily hold its own with a contemporary menu of accomplished dishes taking top-quality ingredients from its own 3000-acre Ravenswick Farm Estate at nearby Kirkbymoorside. There's a tasting menu and an indulgent carte, but sandwiches in the bar or the midweek menu offer a more affordable approach.

We recently had the pleasure of dining at The Pheasant Hotel in Harome, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we stepped into the charming, rustic yet elegant setting, we knew I was in for a treat. The highlight of the evening was the three-course meal, each dish a testament to the chef’s skill and creativity. I started with the lobster ravioli, which was perfectly cooked with a delicate balance of rich flavours and a touch of freshness that elevated the dish. For the main course, I opted for the monkfish. It was beautifully seared and served with an accompaniment that complemented the fish’s meaty, tender texture without overpowering it. Every bite was exquisite. Dessert was a comforting and indulgent rice pudding that was creamy and sweet, with just the right level of decadence to end the meal on a high note. The service was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere. I highly recommend The Pheasant Hotel to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience. I can’t wait to return!

You start with a lovely restaurant, a great ambience and staff who are all knowledgeable and have a warm professional manner. The Sunday Roast is excellent value, it is served with all the accompaniments you would expect. All beautifully cooked and presented. I also tasted my husband's pork, delicious. But the beef was wonderful. As someone who loves to cook, it's great to have a Sunday roast that is better than home cooked.
