Incredible food and wine, and for the standard of food very good value. On the menu the dishes go from small to large. We’d two large dishes and a small and a side and it was perfect. Special shout out to the blood orange sorbet. Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian options and willing to modify dishes to make them vegan or vegetarian where possible.

Walk in lunch for two on a Thursday. We had four dishes + dessert. Gnocchi, fried chicken, pork croquettes and crispy potatoes, with malted baked yoghurt to finish. Can’t fault any of it, the food is excellent. Menu carefully considered, each dish perfect size for sharing between two people, lots of thought given to flavour combinations. The wine list is equally attractive and will have something for everyone. A must visit spot if you find yourself in Helmsley.

The best food ever ! Really cannot tell you how much you HAVE TO GO HERE!!! We had 5 or 6 dishes ALL were INCREDIBLE.

What a wonderful place this is, every dish we had was absolutely fantastic! The flavours were amazing! Would definitely recommend this restaurant. So glad we decided to eat here and will definitely return.

Took my mam for a fabulous lunch today. The food is imaginative and cooked excellently. The service was attentive, friendly and professional. It is so rare that I find a restaurant that doesn't disappoint. I hope it gets the custom it deserves.

Didn't understand the bit about sharing when we ordered, wasn't explained very well, too rushed, so had conventional 2 courses. Husband's dish was served on a flatbread, and one main ingredient was pigs cheeks - was not expecting in the form of lardons, so disappointing. If only the young staff would explain things better.

What can I say, if I could give 10* I would. Lovely unpretentious restaurant, great friendly staff that know about their food and wine. Wonderful food and a great way of eating. Prices right, and no salt pepper etc on tables, now there’s a sign of a confident chef, as well he should be. Well Done.

We had a great dinner last night. Everything's fantastic, especially the hanger steak with oxtail in bone marrow. Great value for money and the ambience was warm and casual.

We were regulars at Rawduck in London and were gutted when it closed down, so you can imagine how quickly we booked into here when we walked past while on holiday and then read that this is where the chef had moved on to. We went for Sunday lunch and it did not disappoint - the food was delicious, the drinks list was short but well thought out, and all served in a lovely space at a very fair price. We will definitely be back for dinner if we’re in the area again.

Really nice atmosphere inside. Great service and fantastic fresh food. Would definitely recommend Bantam if you are near Helmsley. Even if you're not it's worth the trip.
