Went with some friends for an evening meal. There was some issue about us getting a table although the dining area was almost empty. We were given a table in the end and the food was good. There were NO vegetarian options on the blackboard and we had to ask and they made a pasta dish. I hate having to ask for vegetarian meals as it makes you feel awkward and a ‘special case’. A good range of beers and cask ales. Decor a bit overwhelming, every space filled with stuff. I would hesitate to go back here due to the initial resistance to our wanting to eat even though it was only 6:30pm and they advertise food service until 8pm.
Visited the comet the other evening, and What an absolute gem this pub is. The owners Peter and Leslie were terrific and so friendly and helpful, even giving the locals complimentary snacks, the pub itself is in an old coaching Inn and Leslie has transformed the interior with countless interesting ornaments from old rocking horses to an Alice through the looking glass theme, there's far too much to mention, the wine, spirits and beer list is very good and extensive to meet all tastes. Do yourselves a favour and visit this lovely old pub, Thanks very much Peter and Leslie we had a great evening
We arrived on Sunday, hoping to get something to eat, told we had to book for a meal, this place is closed, Tuesday and Wednesday, only serves food on a Friday, Saturday night and Sunday lunch, nothing advertised that this is what they do, it’s quite small. But to be fair, it was very busy on the Sunday lunch time, I just think they need to update their website details. Everything we had seen that was coming out of the kitchen, looked piping hot and smelled delicious, we wish we could have tried it, they would do a good trade as the Croft hotel’s food is not good at all.
First visit for us and some friends for a very long time and we were not disappointed. Quiz night on Saturday and the place was almost full but the landlady was very accommodating in getting us a table. The beers are really good, recommend the Raby Ale, and there are plenty of others to choose. The decor is clearly a lifetime collection of all sorts which add to the atmosphere. We will definitely return. The quiz was excellent by the way, great questions and well managed.

Another great Sunday lunch...and something a bit different! Nice few pre lunch drinks then lovely pate and prawn cocktail to start with followed by a wonderful chicken curry for Jenny....and a fresh Whitby crab for me.... fully dressed by Peter The Landlord! Lesley is such a great cook and my black currant and apple crumble was the business. Thanks to Sean and Jackie as well for looking after us. Looking forward to our next visit! !!!!
The Comet is the place to visit for Sunday Lunch, Leslie and Peter put on a Sunday Lunch with all the normal Sunday Roasts plus a number of specials. The place is filled with many objects and is quite bizarre but fascinating. If you are thinking of going I would recommend that you ring and book as it is so popular with diners who have become regulars as the food is so good. The staff are so friendly and attentive serving everyone.
We celebrated our Golden Wedding here at The Comet last week and the buffet Lesley provided was superb and we received many compliments on the food and venue. Nothing was too much trouble and Lesley and Peter decorated the pub with a banner and balloons for us. We would highly recommend any function here. Thank you Lesley and Peter for making our day extra special.
We have family in the village, but hadn't been to visit since mid 2017, so it was great to go to Quiz night at the pub and enjoy a pre-Christmas drink. Always busy, always quirky decor, great service and nice fellow patrons.
