"After going for a delightful walk in nearby Bishop Wood, we ventured into Cawood looking for somewhere to have lunch. Whilst the external signage for the Pickled Postie looked like it served food, it wasn't clear if they had a seating area (though looking through...the windows we were able to see it The Pickled Postie is a post office, deli, village shop and cafe all under one roof. The deli counter selling three types of pork pie, sausage rolls and a range of other savouries and cakes. the shop has a few cards, groceries, wine, and everyday items that people of the village may need. The cafe is approximate covers situated towards the rear of the shop. We were greeted warmly by the two ladies as we entered and were brought menus to the table. The menu is small, but with plenty of choice to suit most people and reasonably priced (bacon/sausage sandwiches, breakfast, cold sandwiches, etc. There is also a specials board with items like eggs benedict and the creamy garlic mushrooms (which we both had). The coffee is tasty and served strong. The decor and ambience of the place is lovely. Bright, welcoming, comfortable and very friendly. Loved the duck wallpaper (go see). The garlic mushrooms were absolutely delicious and a perfect sized portion. Served in a dish with two slices of buttered granary toast. We brought home a cream slice and carrot cake as were too full to eat it there both of which were divine! They also do special food evenings most of the tapas nights were fully booked which was great to see! We will most definitely be back I would even make a special trip! The Pickled Postie deserves to be a resounding success and I sincerely hope it is!"

"This venue promised so much but didn't really deliver. Some parts were good others not great. Staff are very welcoming, although most are very young and seem quite inexperienced. For starters we had a mix of batterered king praws with a chilli dip which were enjoyable. Garlic mushrooms which hit the spot. Potatoe skins, again which were good. I had a goats cheese tart which was very small and not great taste wise. Our mains were of a reasonable size those that plumped for the home made steak pie probably fared best. The pie was served with homemade chips and a selection of vegetables. The pies were meaty inside with well cooked beef. The homemade chips were good too. I asked for Ketchup for my chips and wished I hadn't as it wasn't a great brand. I used the extra gravy that was served with the pie instead. My partner had a chicken stroganoff with boiled rice which he enjoyed. The most disapointing dish was the Chicken paramo. The béchamel sauce that was on this was bland, overly think and lumpy. Chef definitely needs to rethink this one. Our desserts were again a mixed bag. My partner ordered vanilla ice-cream and it only came with one scoop. The Crème brulee was good, as was the brownie. The ice cream sundae I had was a poor attempt. Served in a bowl with what presented like squinty cream . We have been here before and thought the food wasn't as good this time around. Just needs a few small tweaks though to improve."
