Housed in a 17th century coaching inn, Dudley Arms is an impressive venue situated in the sleepy village of Ingleby Greenhow. The restaurant exudes conviviality with medieval artefacts and exposed stone walls adding to the old world charm, while the D'Lisle Bistro is a more informal affair with its dark wood furniture and red upholstered seating, which enliven the place.

The menu pays a special tribute to steak and fish with a separate section for seafood starters like prawn cocktail and crispy whitebait. Lovers of steak will be happy to know that Dudley Arms have an enviable reputation in the quality of beef on offer, which is hung until tender and then butchered. Those who would like to tread the off-beat track could ask for the pepper or garlic steak served with aioli sauce. Finish with chocolate Pavlova with fresh cream or raspberry crème brûlée topped crispy caramel for a well rounded meal.

Chapters Hotel and Restaurant is a wonderful listed building full of character, dating back some 300 years and situated in the market place in Stokesley, at the foot of the beautiful North Yorkshire Moors National Park. It is a favoured destination for many business travellers because of the hotel's convenient location for the Tees Valley business community, and also perfect for those who wish to spend a relaxing weekend among the beautiful attractions of the area.

Over the last couple of years, the dining areas have been continuously updated and refurbished to provide the classic but contemporary look which Chapters is renowned for. The restaurant has only thirty covers, and is suited for those who prefer a more formal gourmet service and dining experience, while the brasserie seats fifty and is close to the wine bar, designed for guests that prefer the more relaxed and casual style of eating.

They have a restaurant licence so you can stay at your table to enjoy drinks after your meal or you can retire to the terraced garden.

All meals are prepared to order and most of the ingredients are sourced locally with delightful courses such as local langoustine nestled on potted shrimp and celeriac remoulade to start, followed by  Gressingham duck breast, confit of duck leg, baby onion, onion purée, sweet potato and grain mustard jus, and desserts such as sautéed rhubarb and crème patisserie pave with rhubarb sorbet.

Chapters Deli Bistro is situated in a listed building on the High Street in Stokesley, North Yorkshire, the property has a fascinating local history and the interior reflects times past. The décor is contemporary and refreshing, offering diners a great viewpoint of the High Street from its three bay windows.

Kick off your busy day with unsmoked back bacon, Cumberland sausage, grilled tomato, mushrooms, baked beans, black pudding, toast and two free range eggs in any style, accompanied by a shot of mocca. Try homemade soup of the day and toastie or chef's salad at lunch. The style changes in the evening, so if you fancy a more elaborate meal you could go for the smoked salmon and asparagus roulade, pan fried duck breast cooked pink and served on a bed of stir fry vegetables with a cointreau sauce, or linguine with king prawns, spring onions, chilli and garlic oil.
