The Bruce Arms - Hambleton

I called last minute this evening and was able to get a table in 30 minutes. When we arrived, the bar was packed with locals chatting and laughing. The atmosphere was great, and our meal was delivered quickly even though the pub was very busy. The staff were attentive despite being very busy, and the quality of our meal was excellent. It was nice to see a village pub so bustling, and we will definitely be back soon.

Absolutely amazing -we had been previously and took our family this time and it certainly didn’t disappoint! We all agreed it was the best Sunday dinner we have ever had!

I’m not sure which Bruce Arms Sam L from Knaresborough reviewed (see below) but the one we went to yesterday was super. Very friendly staff and super Sunday lunch. The cauliflower cheese was absolutely delicious too. We had coffee outside as the weather was lovely. The baklava served with it was a lovely touch and tasty too. The outside seating area is very pleasant and we saw someone adding more plants etc to make it even nicer. We will be back. Well done to all concerned.

We are locals and have visited this restaurant for Sunday lunch a few times and recently went for dinner. We truly believe it is excellent, from the variety of drinks to the delicious food and attentive staff. While many pubs are facing challenges, this one seems to be doing well and deserves our support. We will definitely return.

The Bruce Arms is a delightful combination of rustic country charm and culinary excellence. It has a cozy and welcoming atmosphere with an excellent host and staff. They offer a fantastic selection of drinks and wines. However, the highlight is definitely the food. I have dined here multiple times, most recently for a delicious Sunday dinner. The menu is thoughtfully crafted and changes with the seasons, offering a great dining experience with delicious vegetarian options as well. If you're looking for a taste of the local area with a warm Yorkshire welcome and exceptional food, The Bruce Arms is the place to go. It is a true hidden gem that we will definitely be returning to!
