Called here by chance and enjoyed a lovely veggie Sunday lunch. The food was lovely and The staff more than helpful,and it only cost £7.50 per portion. Would defiantly go back

I cannot fault this place! Clean, lovely atmosphere, welcoming, dogs allowed, great value, great service, hard working staff

We stayed in our campervan in the carpark overnight(no charge as long as you ate/drank) which had 24hr toilet facilities, the staff were so welcoming and the food was absolutely amazing and very reasonably priced We left for Thornton le dale to camp overnight at...a campsite and called in again at the ham and cheese to have a Cooked breakfast which was fantastic. We will definitely be calling in again when in the area, and would highly recommend to everyoneMore

Second stay here, came back because we were impressed with the menu and the excellent bar and restaurant staff. This time particularly Sam who is an super host. The rooms are quite basic but totally adequate, very clean and comfortable. My only niggle is that...in room 1 there is no mirror near an electric socket!More

Had an absolutely stunning meal at an impromptu stopover. Very impressed with the friendly staff and comfy atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing choice for gluten free diets The staff are brilliant, really clued up, separate fryer for food, can make most things on the menu gluten free I'm dairy free too, they had vegan cheese Really lovely atmosphere and environment Highly recommend

This was the worst meal out we have had for years . The chips tasted of old fat which needed changing. The garlic mushrooms were like mushrooms in soup , the steaks were ok although one was over cooked . Can’t really recommend this restaurant...from our experience which is such a shame as the staff were friendly & helpful & the service was good. But we won’t be going back.More

Very highly recommended. All the food was excellent especially pate , Barnsley chop and steak . Staff were efficient , friendly and cheerful. We eat out a lot this was one of the best places we have eaten in for some time. Thanks so much...ti the chef and the waiting staff. I could understand why the restaurant ( lovely surroundings) was full.More

We were staying in nearby amotherby and decided we were eating out, but we realised after driving around for half an hour that nothing in Malton opens on Mondays!(what’s that all about??) anyway we found this place, and we were so pleased, beautiful pub and...the food was all home made or locally sourced and we definitely left full!! Delicious, defo give this place a visit. We. Got the feeling it may be new landlords or something’s yand well done if so because you got it spot onMore

We dined at the Ham & Cheese with friends and family, after hearing good reviews about the food. Although I was warned it depends which chef is in charge, I hadn't worried. The building was warm, looked clean & tidy, and they were not very...busy (6pm Thursday evening), the bar staff were friendly and served us drinks prior to showing us to the table. The menu was traditional pub food with a few specials, we ordered 6 starters (garlic mushrooms x3, pate, honey shimp, garlic & chilli prawns) and 6 mains cheeseburger x2 (one regular with blue cheese, one 'naked' with added cheese, bacon & mushrooms), Cajun chicken burger, gammon, steak & ale pie, lasagne). The servers seemed inexperienced and lacked basic knowledge of both the food, simple manners, and also how to serve. Once we had ordered one server literally dumped a additional handful of cutlery at the table with 'here's your extra stuff' and walked off. This 'stuff' consisted of a steak knife (presumably for the gammon), 3 other knives and a spoon. We were puzzled so when starters arrived we asked what was for which dish; it turned out the spoon was for the garlic mushrooms so they brought another 2. They forgot the pate starter (they brought prawns x 2) and although the bread rolls with the other starters were nicely oven-warmed, the one that came late with the pate had obviously been microwaved. It was too hot to touch at one end, but was cold in the middle. The garlic mushrooms and seafood starters were good, but nothing was great. The meals were really disappointing. The Cajun chicken burger was the biggest disappointment of all the meals. It was not a burger or chicken breast but strips of overcooked crispy-coated chicken (we think they just used some spicy chicken goujons from the starter menu). It was dry and very basic; a bread bun, and the goujons. Mayo didn't really help. The other burgers were not great either and there were no fried onions on either one (so one was just a beef patty and the blue cheese that was added as an extra). We asked for the onions & some sauce but the server was visibly not happy that we had queried it. The steak & ale pie and lasagne were large but not particularly flavoursome. All the salads on the side (lettuce, a slice of cucumber and a slice of tomato with a few strands of red onion) were limp and the chips were burnt, dark brown, and rather greasy ... just really not what you would have expected based on their reputation. Overall, the service was really, really poor. The young guy that took our order was very friendly (although he didn't have a clue about the menu), the woman behind the bar and main waitress were also fine (we just didn't see her more than once or twice). The others were clueless and several girls were just rude. One literally rolled her eyes and walked away when my hubby asked a simple (and polite) question ... he was livid at her insolence and was ready to say something or leave but we calmed him down. She didn't return ... which was probably just as well. We had to ask for cutlery, condiments and drinks, remind them a few times about missing dishes and we cleared our own plates. There was no consistency, one person took our order, another brought cutlery, several people brought the starters and then several different people brought mains ... no one checked if the meals were ok until we had almost finished and when we said 'no not really', it was clear that they didn't care or couldn't do anything anyway. I was so embarrassed I'd suggested the place as an option. In short they need to train their staff properly, be more coordinated and attentive to customer service and quality control what is coming from the kitchen ... I would hate to think how they manage on a busy evening and they were certainly getting busier as we left. I can't recommend this as a good place to eat. The food was mediocre at best and the service was just not up to a basic standard. It's sad because I love the fact it's not a chain, it has a reasonable amount of parking, is easily accessible from the A64 between Malton & Scarborough, and it has a decent sized dining area for groups with space for prams and folks who are less mobile. We paid approx £160 for the 6 of us including a drink each.More

I cannot recommend this place enough. The food we had today was well cooked and delicious with generous portions. The staff and service was fantastic. They coped with the number of people with ease and nothing was too much trouble. The prices were very good...value. We will be back.More

The food at the Ham and Cheese has always been lovely when we have been. I can’t see past there burgers and massive onion rings. The steak pie is lovely and very filling. Homemade fat chips are superb. This is our go to establishment now,...staff are always friendly, attentive and the service is brilliantMore
