The Pipe and Glass Inn, South Dalton
A short drive from Beverley's market square, the village of South Dalton hides one of Yorkshire's most celebrated restaurants: The Pipe and Glass Inn, a Michelin-starred pub that manages to feel genuinely local rather than precious. Flagstone floors, a roaring fire and cooking of serious ambition — this is the East Yorkshire meal you'll be talking about for years.
Serious Food in a Proper Pub
The Pipe and Glass has held its Michelin star for well over a decade, built on cooking that champions East Yorkshire and Wolds produce — game from local estates, vegetables from nearby growers, fish from the East Coast. The menu changes with the seasons and the tasting menu is the way to go if you want the full picture.
The building itself is a 15th-century coaching inn, and the team have preserved every bit of its character: low beams, old fireplaces, a garden that comes into its own in summer. It never feels like a restaurant pretending to be a pub — it is a pub, with outstanding food.
Planning Your Visit
Booking is essential, often weeks in advance for weekend dinner. Lunch is slightly easier to secure and offers excellent value relative to the quality on the plate — the set lunch menu is a smart entry point.
South Dalton is about 5 miles north-west of Beverley. The easiest approach is by car or taxi from the town centre; the journey through the Wolds villages is part of the pleasure.
