Melbourne Arms

The Melbourne Arms is very close to the Melbourne Canal Basin. It was a good place to stop on our walk along the pocklington canal. There is a good choice of beers, lager and cider, including three hand pulled cask conditioned real ales. The cask ale was excellent when we called in. There is no pool table or dart board. It's mainly a food orientated pub. We didn't have anything to eat but had a look at the menu, and the food coming out of the kitchen looked very nice, and there were a lot of people having meals. I will come back to try the food. The pub is dog friendly.

One of the best food experiences I've had in terms of food quality, price and portion size with excellent service from 2 pleasant young ladies who both took it in turns to see that our visit was satisfactory. Well worth the visit for a excellent food and service at a reasonable price. Amazing pizzas!

Four of us have visited here twice for food over the weekend. We booked a table on both occasions. The pub was welcoming with a log burner in the middle near to the dining table. We had three dogs between us and they were made welcome too. The food was excellent. We sampled the pie, the stuffed chicken breast and the sticky pork with rice. Everyone cleared their plates and reported back to the waiter that the food was amazing. We had a couple of drinks each, the total cost was just under £100.00. We were so impressed that we booked for Sunday lunch the following day. The Sunday lunch was just as nice, the leaks in cream sauce were to die for (all apart from the yorkshire puddings which were over done, burnt and crispy). Again the cost was around £100.00 in total.

We called in for lunch before a walk by the canal, received a cheerful welcome and when seated were given first class service from Jesse, there is a very varied menu plus a specials board, real ales. The food, from local producers, is prepared and cooked to order and is delicious but at busy times there may be a wait, be patient it's worth it.

Me and my partner had an incredible meal here a few days ago. We went expecting pub grub, what we got was one of the best meals we've ever had! Staff were really friendly and gave great service. I have coeliacs and the gluten free options were really good and the staff knowledgeable about their food. Really impressed. We've recommended to all our friends and family. Thank you!
