Authentic Stories from Diners
Lovely place, great food and great staff, I can’t fault this place and I personally think this is better than some Yorkshire restaurants with a Michelin star. We had a fantastic family meal.
Incredibly delicious food, attentive staff, wonderful evening. Thanks to all for making it such an enjoyable birthday meal.
My recent stay at The Alice Hawthorn was my third visit, and once again it felt just as personal and unique as the previous ones. Every stay here has its own special touch. The staff are consistently warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming — no matter who you meet, you immediately feel at home the moment you step through the door. The food is absolutely fantastic, with a menu that’s always well thought out, varied, and full of flavour. It’s clear that great care and passion go into every dish. The location itself is another highlight — nestled in beautiful Nun Monkton, it’s the perfect place to slow down, enjoy nature, and experience the peaceful charm of the Yorkshire countryside. I’m already looking forward to my next visit. The Alice Hawthorn is truly a charming and unique place that I’ll always return to.
We visited this remote hotel/ restaurant with friends who are regular diners here. The service was first class and very laid back and unpretentious. After viewing the menus, our choices were made and ordered. What followed was a superb meal. All three courses being perfectly cooked. We all had the firecracker shrimp as a starter and it was delicious. The restaurant was very busy and yet the service ran very effectively and smoothly. Quite simply, there was nothing to dislike. Well worth a visit. It is, however, not a cheap venue.
First went here the end of January and stayed over in the the Alice room. The pub is in a beautiful village. Back to the pub, the food was outstanding and great service. Lovely restaurant Great nights sleep and the breakfast was lovely. We enjoyed it that much we returned with friends 4 weeks later. The menu had changed and the food was still amazing. We stayed in a differemt room and both our room and our friends were as lovely as Alice was but i woild say if you can book Alice. The staff are welcoming and friendly. You will find it hard to find a place as great as this. Just a note if you are looking for pub food this isn't the place for you. Alice Hawthorn would give michelin star restaurants a run for their money.
