The Commercial — Restaurant in England

Visited today 18th August. Very friendly welcome. We'd specifically chosen The Commercial in Easingwold as we wanted a late lunch/early tea. We are 4 friends who'd not met up for a few years and had a lot of catching up to do. We were given the choice to sit anywhere and choose the restaurant so we could chat. Two of us ordered fish n chips and asked for the batter not to be heavy. It arrived piping hot and the fish was amazing, enclosed in a light batter. The chunky chips were the best I've ever had. One with garden peas and the other with mushy peas. The other two chose the steak n ale pie, one with mash the other with chips, and they arrived with steaming hot mixed veg and each had a jug of gravy. Both said their meals were delicious. We somehow managed a pudding and 2 chose honeycomb ice cream such was yummy and one had apple and plum crumble with ice cream rather than creme anglaise, and she really enjoyed it. We can thoroughly recommend The Commercial Pub in Easingwold. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. The chef was on holiday and we were told they had a kitchen apprentice working today. I'm sure that young man will go on to be a great chef. The food and service was excellent and at a very...

This Pub became great when it was taken over by the man of the hour, who is too sweet to be sour. The women's pet and the men's regret. The reflection of perfection and the man who gets all the attention. The one with the greatest arms, the one with the best charm and the one thats done a lotta harm .... to the other pubs takings....

But right now, it ain't about me, it's about everyone who walks into the Commercial. How do they feel standing in the presence of Landlord Greatness? Are they not memorised? Do they not get chills down their skinny little spines? For the first time ever witnessing Owen Bower, In Owens building in front of Owens people, this man was eating T Bone Steaks, lifting barbell plates, he was sweeter than a German Chocolate Cake.

And all I gotta say is when you're the best Pub Landlord in the world they don't call you a great Pub Landlord. They call...

The best Sunday roast we've had in years and for not a lot of money. It was great to have the option of portion size that wasn't age related!! Fantastic family friendly and dog friendly pub. Has to be the best in Easingwold. Owner Owen, great landlord, makes everyone feel welcome, a true professional. Couldn't believe the 3 people on the next table who 'whinged' about the brocoli being luke warm, what they failed to mention was that after they had 'loaded' their plates with food they asked for 'vegitarian gravy', which took a short while to prepare, which is why their food was cooling!!! Mmmm....... professional complainers spring to mind, perhaps they we're just out for a free meal. Fantastic pub, fab food, lovely staff and one of the best landlords I've come across. 10 out of 10!!! Will definitely...
