Spectacular small plates, lovely relaxed atmosphere and reasonably priced. The food really was excellent, looking forward to returning and trying the rest of the menu. Cocktails were also excellent, pumpkin spiced white Russian particularly.

Innovative menu with meals to share. Fresh produce cooked with care. Perfect presentation. Friendly professional staff. Desert Flower Pot was amazing. could even eat the chocolate pot. Definitely would return.

Me and my friend booked on a Sunday afternoon via their website, in hope to try their Sunday roast. It did not disappoint!! We ordered a rum & ginger beer (would recommend) and a Sunday roast between two which was 20pp. The Yorkshire Puds were very impressive and the whole roast was served on a platter with side plates. It was beautifully present and the service was on point. We both really enjoyed our visit and would recommend to anyone visiting Malton. We are already talking about our next visit to try something else of their menu

By far the best Sunday lunch we’ve ever had at a restaurant! The sharing board is so good and made for a really lovely birthday treat! We have also brought home a dessert sharing board boxed up as we were stuffed after the meal but desperately wanted to try the desserts!

I was on a visit to Malton and needed a snack and a coffee. I saw the FortySix cafe/bistro which looked so pretty and was right on the Market Square. I couldn't decide between having the scrambled eggs, blueberry porridge or pancake or waffle stack. In the end I chose a tea cake which arrived with warm homemade jam plus cream, a really delicious combination. The service was friendly and thoughtful and it was a wonderful experience, I will be visiting again

A gem of a place, I highly recommend. The food was amazing, a delight in taste and presentation.

We went for Sunday lunch and the food was amazing and was such great service. We were lucky enough that it was their second year anniversary and they had a singer on who was great. I would 100% recommend this as a place to visit.

We rang to try and book on a Friday for that evening. The ladies were very friendly and helpful, and to fit us in! The staff are lovely, the atmosphere is lovely, and the food was fabulous! Thank you very much. Started our weekend in Malton perfectly!
