Amazing experience at the FYR Grill at North Lakes Hotel!! Doug, Chris and Garfield were fantastic hosts and great company! The steaks and wine were excellent and we will definitely be returning. The Wrong'un and a t-bone steak are definitely the way to go! Thank you guys, it was the perfect way to end our holiday!

50th birthday celebration. Sadly I have to say, after being very excited by the decor and layout of FYR, the resulting experience was quite frankly terrible. My sister and daughter had booked a table for us to celebrate my 50th birthday as we were on a short break in nearby Askham. The gentleman who greeted us upon our arrival was very welcoming, however we were quickly passed on to junior staff. My sister had called FYR 3 times prior to our arrival to remind the establishment of the occasion, she asked for a cake to be arranged, due to Covid this could not be done but the restaurant kindly offered a “birthday plate” instead. Under the circumstances, a fair compromise yes? Well, we’ll see how that went later. My starter was Minestrone Soup, now I can’t say with any certainty as I wasn’t in their kitchen but if it wasn’t from a can I would be hugely surprised. From memory I think it’s priced at around 7. It claimed to be served with bread and butter. However, it was served with what should be described as a slither of bread which plainly wasn’t sufficient. The bread sadly (what there was of it) was good quality. The main course was from the “specials” menu. It was a passable Lamb pudding. Given the table was booked for a special occasion, no mention was made of this by any staff member throughout the whole visit. As for the “birthday plate” no sign whatsoever! Rather upset by it’s absence my sister attempted to contact a member of staff however they were in another room preparing breakfast tables for the next mornings hotel guests. The final straw was seeing my sister, having given up on the “birthday plate” searching around the restaurant so she could simply pay our bill. Had we been that kind of people, we could have simply just walked out. All in all despite the very smart and welcoming location, the service within is shocking and the food below average. I certainly hope my family do not entrust FYR with any future celebrations. Mike McGrellis.
Great food, and very beautiful modern design.
Great food but I was a little disappointed that my 10oz rib eye steak only comes with fries, no mushrooms, tomatoes or onions, everything to be ordered separately, I did swap my fries for the buttered mixed veg, as I'm allergic to butter they didn't put any butter on, mixed veg consists of 1 sugar snap pea, 1 string bean, 1 very small carrot cut in half and a few wilted spring greens, I would have enjoyed them all if they hadn't been cooked in mint, no mention of mint on the menu, fresh veg does not need masking with any other flavour. My steak was 24 so I don't feel it was good value for money however it was cooked exactly as I asked which was medium. My husband had the tandoori salmon kebab which was much better value consisting of large chunks of salmon, monk fish and prawns and came with side orders included 20, he realy enjoyed it and would have it again if we go back. The staff were very friendly and well presented. The surroundings were lovely, airy and bright. A lovely place to dine.
