We 've eaten here on numerous occasions and really enjoyed our meals/cakes. Today was a mixed bag. OH had the scrambled eggs and smoked salmon which he pronounced delicious and beautifully cooked. I however made the mistake of ordering the Pork Belly sandwich. It arrived looking very appealing with a lovely piece of crisp cracking on the side. Inside however, the thick slab of pork belly was less appetising. Half was soft, flabby fat which I found impossible to eat. The mayonnaise only increased the fattiness and made the bread unpleasantly greasy so in the end, a few mouthfuls of pork and some small gherkins proved to be an expensive 'meal '.

I booked the table for 2 overlooking Helmsley Castle for a 40th Birthday Breakfast. Initially, I spoke on the phone to Alex the Manager. He was very helpful when I asked if I could post some 40th confetti for them to put on the table prior to our arrival, he agreed with no problem. The day before our arrival I rang again to confirm arrangements. I spoke to Ruby who had it all in hand. When we arrived the table was set and complimentary champagne was supplied a lovely special touch. We ordered breakfast coffee which was excellent and were waited on hand and foot. Thank you to all who helped make our morning extra special.
After reading my previous review, you would see that I had rated this restaurant as excellent. However, our experience last Friday was quite the opposite. We found the cost of lunch to be very poor in comparison to what we received. We ordered 3 fish sandwiches, a pork belly sandwich, 4 mouthfuls of food, 3 teas, 1 cappuccino, and 3 truffle fries, all totaling around £80. While we understand that costs have gone up, we would gladly pay if we were satisfied with our meal. Unfortunately, we left feeling very disappointed. Overall, it was a poor dining experience.
Absolutely delicious lunch eaten in a tiny outside area (inside seating was also available). I had their take on eggs Benedict with perfectly poached eggs and two large rashers of bacon on toast with truffle mayonnaise. And an accompanying glass of wine. Most enjoyable and well deserved after a brisk hike out to Rievaulx and back along the Cleveland Way.

I had a fantastic brunch with a friend last Friday at this funky restaurant and we absolutely loved it, despite the rainy weather. I chose the eggs Benedict with bacon and hollandaise sauce, topped with truffle - it was delicious and perfect. This place is a great spot that you must visit!
Absolutely fantastic lunch. Lovely staff, delicious drinks and a great menu. It was a difficult decision, but I went for the topside of beef, Yorkshire blue cheese, red onion and homemade gravy sandwich which was sensational! I’d highly recommend Mannion and Co for lunch in Helmsley.
Wow, the eggs Benedict with smoked bacon and truffled hollaindaise was just amazing and me being cheeky asked if I could have a wee little side of crushed fresh peas which made a lovely extra. The staff were bright and vibrant and my kind of chatty , thankyou x

Wonderful scones, the cheese scones with chutney and herb mascarpone were gorgeous and filling, with a cup of tea, sat outside. Excellent.
