Reviews
We enjoyed the amazing ploughman’s board and homemade cakes on two visits to the distillery during our stay in Filey.
Lovely friendly staff in the shop and the cafe, and beautiful fresh local produce.
We also purchased a gorgeous hand sculpture of a sheep called Eunice, by a local artist Sharon Westmoreland.
Final mention goes to the lady running the shop. She was a mine of information on all things distillery, and the local area.
We stopped here for lunch on our way to Filey. We had the share platter. It was delicious and enough for a light lunch. The blue cheese from Shepherds Purse was a light blue perfect for lunch. Would recommend. Bought a whiskey selection box , which we look forward to trying.
The quality of the distillery is very good. The whole ethos and method seems like a great idea.(everything made by them)
I'm personally not a fan of the signature whisky. Way too light and too much of an alcohol hit. (Others in the group seemed to like it) but the peated and IPA and 2023 special were very good.
The tour was £15 with 3 very small helpings. (Which other distilleries do for free) seemed a little steep. The only reason I give the place 4 not 5*.
Note that the lady giving the tour was very knowledgeable and had some great chat. 👍🏻
Just had a whisky tasting, and a snack in the restaurant, and not a tour of the distillery. The food is excellent, really good coffee. The whisky that we tasted was superb and could not resist buying a bottle of the unique one that is aged in two types of sherry barrels and a muscatel barrel. Would like to do the tour next time.
Now, I know what you're thinking.
"Oh yeah, 5 stars? Really?"
But you can trust me. I'm not one of those reviewers who just stick 5 stars on when a place should have 4.
The Yorkshire Distillery (home of the Filey Bay single malt whisky) deserves all of those 5 stars.
We went to their excellent coffee shop, the Pot Still, for an afternoon tea as a birthday treat. Out of the windows, you can see the distillery in one direction and the open countryside of Yorkshire in the other.
The sandwiches were beautifully made. A choice of tuna and cucumber, cheese and pickle, ham and cream cheese with cress. Also a couple of slices of cheese quiche and a dressed salad. The sandwiches were cut into finger sized pieces. Very moreish!
We had 2 generous pots of tea, which were refreshed for us.
And the desserts? Mini Victoria sponge cake with strawberry jam, chocolate brownie, fruit cake with Filey Bay whisky, and fruited scones with jam and clotted cream.
The staff were absolutely brilliant. Very attentive and so helpful.
The prices are about what you'd expect for an afternoon tea of this quality (and quantity!)
We were offered boxes to take home the cakes we didn't manage to eat.
Now we are looking at the calendar to see if there's another family birthday coming up!
Amazing day at Yorkshire's one & only whisky distillery 'Spirit of Yorkshire' distillery tour and tasting. Both Naomi and Chrissy were so knowledgeable and proffesional throughout and you could see the passion they both had for the company …
Fabulous & friendly cafe at the distillery. Lovely coffee & will be going back to check the Single malts out !
Really enjoyed the distillery tour. The staff were really knowledgeable and friendly. Courtney and Chrissy looked after us. The cafe was also great with a variety of foods and drinks available at affordable prices. Easy parking as well.
Went on the tour for my Dad's birthday, got shown around by Justina who did a great job, really interesting, and the whisky was excellent.
Sadly we arrived late at the cafe for food but they were very accommodating and we had some lovely Christmas cake.
A great tour of a lovely little distillery (we've been on a few) special mention to Justina for being an enthusiastic and helpful guide. It doesn't hurt that the whisky is very good too, especially for such a young distillery, one to watch …
