  “The beer is very badly kept in this pub. We sent a pint of Taylor’s Landlord back as cloudy, paid for a pint of an alternative cask beer which was just as bad. No refund was offered, so £22 for four pints of poor beer. Dirty outside seating area.We will never return.”

  “Hoped that food would be good because the pub is in a nice, tree-lined location. My partner tried to order from 3 small plates menu, but 2 of 3 items she wanted not available. A pub with no mushrooms? She ended up ordering indifferent chips covered in some kind of sauce - who knows what. I got a so-called Tower Burger, that was more of a bungalow burger. I suggested 3 out of five rating to be generous, my partner was thinking 3 out of ten. Please get your act together and recreate a decent pub from this poor offering.”

  “Came in tonight to try the food since the pub has recently come into new ownership. The food was awful. We got two meals and some onion rings. First was the Kiev which boasted a remarkably plain taste with next to no garlic filling. Then came the onion rings which were limp and depressing but the star of the show was my raw chicken parm. Despite being charred on the edges, mysteriously, the meat was untouched from the incinerator it must have come from. Front of house team were great and responded to this problem well, they seem like a lovely team and cannot fault them at all. Would definitely come back for a drink but won’t be there for food again despite the manager’s generous offer of a free meal later down the line. I don’t like leaving bad reviews but coming from someone who also works in the hospitality industry this sort of dangerous negligence should be flagged so that something will be done about it. Perhaps the chef is in training and I hope this will scare them straight from ignoring basic food safety. If this is not the case then maybe you should find a new chef or any chef for that matter. Leaving a one star review so this gets noticed by management to follow up on with the kitchen team. In reality, FoH were great this review does not represent you guys !”

  “I would personally like to thank the staff at the walnut tree, for making my mums wake complete. We arrived earlier than planned and was asked if we wanted the food bringing out earlier. When the food was taken out it was placed on a large table. We had a chose of two menus to choose from. The service at the bar was great, with a wide selection of drinks to chose from. They dont do cocktails. But staff did say they would make cocktails if we wanted them. The only downside was the card machine at the till stopped working. I think that was my mum saying stop now. Remaining food was packaged up so we could take it home. I would definately recommode the walnut tree. Mum would of been proud. WELL DONE TO ALL STAFF.”

  “Our Family would like to say a Huge Thank you to the Landlord & Landlady Scott & Chloe, Anthony, the Bar Manager and all the staff. We recently held my Dad’s Celebration of Life Wake at The Walnut Tree in Heworth Village. The pub is our local and was one of the last places my elderly Father visited with us. Nothing was too much trouble.We were able to discuss and ask questions beforehand and the staff were very accommodating.The buffet food was amazing and plentiful. We had the dining room and lounge as a private function so all the family and guests felt comfortable and relaxed. We were able to display photograph boards, memorabilia and tributes to Dad for everyone to reminisce. The Walnut Tree helped us to give The Best Send Off he deserved and we can’t thank you enough. Cheers 🍻 you did him proud thank you ,The Miles Family.”

  “Had a brilliant visit to The Walnut Tree. The manager Scott was great to speak to and made us feel really welcome, and the girl behind the bar gave equally excellent service. I had the sausage and mash and it was absolutely delicious — proper thick gravy and really creamy mash, just perfect comfort food. I also noticed they run a quiz night and a darts competition, which gives the place a great community vibe. Lovely atmosphere, great staff, and amazing food. Would definitely come again!”

  “The Walnut Tree is a modern pub. There's a nice lounge and a rear bar with TVs showing sports. There's a wide no pool table or dart board. Does a variety of beers lager and cider, but sadly, no hand pulled cask conditioned real ales. The staff are friendly and welcoming and there is a large outside beer garden with a covered area.”

  “Nice roomy pub, dog friendly with a big beer garden. Reasonable menu, but many items were not available including some roasts on a Sunday which was a shame. Roast beef slices were nice and tender and roast potatoes good, but veg were undercooked root and overcooked greens. Good sized portions and nice gravy.”
