Overview
The Bay Horse Public House is a traditional British pub and restaurant in Market Weighton, a town in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It occupies a beautifully preserved 18th-century coaching inn and is described by its operators as a family-run, proudly independent establishment. The pub is known both for its pub lunches and for its restaurant dining experience, and it has become particularly celebrated for fresh, locally sourced fish and seafood delivered daily from the Yorkshire coast. The kitchen is led by Head Chef Yvonne Walker, who brings more than forty years of experience as a classically French-trained chef and is renowned for her skill with fish and seafood. Alongside the seafood, the menu features much-loved Yorkshire pub classics — comforting, hearty dishes cooked with care and quality ingredients.

The bar holds Cask Marque accreditation and offers a wide and diverse range of carefully selected cask ales, bitters and craft beers, alongside a thoughtful collection of spirits and wines. The Bay Horse is a historic pub in the town, and its combination of heritage setting, family ownership and strong food reputation positions it as a notable local dining and drinking destination in East Yorkshire.

Its kitchen is led by Head Chef Yvonne Walker, who brings more than forty years of experience as a classically French-trained chef and is renowned for her skill with fish and seafood.
