Beck Hall in Craven

Me and my family stayed at beck hall for 3 days and ate solely at the restaurant with our spaniel puppy who was treated like royalty and staff dote on dogs The menu is diverse from a breakfast buffet of dreams and perfect fuel to set you up for the day while exploring the area to wholesome evening meals and afternoon tea too Something for all with a variety of plant based dishes full of flavour, my parents aren’t vegan and didn’t miss the meat at all , opened their eyes to what veganism can be , some a hit and some a miss but the fact they tried it was a big win Wether your vegan or not this plant based hotel and restaurant marks the way for the future , staff friendly and food great quality Highly recommend

I sat outside in the sunshine, next to the babbling brookwith my mum and my dog, for a delicious and peaceful lunch. The staff were friendly and attentive, the setting and restaurant were lovely, the menu had a good variety and choice. Excellent service and the food is so delicious and just incredible. I had the steak followed by the cheesecake. I can't wait to go back there again to try something else.

We have visited this beautiful place several times while on holidays over the years, as it was recommended to us. We always chose the clotted cream tea, as it was one of the best we'd had, but sadly this year, we arrive to find theres no clotted cream and everything is plant based vegan 🫤 To say I was disappointed was an understatement, especially after riding an extra 35 miles out of my way to visit! Sadly we won’t be returning and will find another establishment that does proper clotted cream teas in future. Photos are from a previous visit we had

We have been visiting the Secret Garden every time we go to Malham for around five years, and all the times the food was gorgeous. We took our friends and family here, and they loved it so much that on my family's latest visit to the UK, my mum specifically asked if we could come here again. I organised a trip to Malham and booked a table at The Secret Garden without thinking twice. Unfortunately, what I didn't realise is that the restaurant has gone full vegan... The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the interior has not changed. Furthermore, the dogs are accepted here, which is one of the reasons we kept coming back. However, the food was not great. All of us ordered Sunday roast not understanding that dishes are actually not meet 😔 I did get a bit curious to the reason why sea food has completely disappeared from the menu as this would be the option I would normally go for. We ate most of our portions as we were starving AND because we paid an atrocious amount of money for this. At first I thought the price was a bit high, but accaptable as previously food tasted as it would in a high class restaurant and now it was something you might be served in a canteen. The gravy was sour, the coliflower and "cheese" had a questionable aftertaste, etc. Even those of us who are not fussy at all did not enjoy the meal this time. I must add that one of the dishes we ordered was truffle mash, and it was very delicious. I think we made a mistake by ordering "meat" and if we chose vegetables they would probably be lovely... but I guess we will never know as, unfortunately, we will not be coming back. I'm so very disappointed. It is a shame that the restaurant has changed and instead of catering for all diets decided to go with being 100% vegan.

I felt seriously misled by this place. First let me say that the the location is lovely and the garden seating great too. But the menu and signage are completely misleading. Both mention "vegan options" but nowhere is it pointed out that there is only vegan options. We ordered a cream tea and only when i noticed the odd coloured milk was i told it was oat milk. I asked and was told the “butter” and “cream” were vegan options too. There was no mention of vegan only on the menu or on the signage outside. Personally i prefer real dairy to vegan alternatives and wouldn’t have gone there had i known. That apart the location is lovely and the staff were fine.

Fab food at this lovely location! After a walk Malham Cove and back into the village we had the choice of several places for lunch and am so pleased we picked the Secret Garden. Vegan food is as amazing! I had a cream 'cheese' bagel with a lovely salad and slaw. Hubbie had the fried 'chicken' burger which was delicious too! Really recommend. Great service and chatty host too.

Yummy vegan food, amazing place, lovely staff and dog friendly - now known as Beck Hall. Really enjoyed a visit with my pooch

We were staying in Malham and the Secret Garden was only a short walk. We had a very enjoyable dinner, both of ordered the sea bass which was very good. I was looking forward to the treacle pudding for dessert, but unfortunately it did not live up to expectations, otherwise 5/5. A comfortable restaurant with good friendly service.

This restaurant has suddenly decided to force all customers to eat Vegan ! It's NOT sufficiently signed, and after ordering a steak baguette, a chicken burger, and two lattes it was , to say the least, a shock to be served plant based versions, and latte made with oatmilk I tried my best,the taste wasn't too bad, but the bland gooey texture was distinctly unappetising, and I couldn't finish it The prices (never cheap, but acceptable for the excellent food they served up until a week ago !), seem to have remained about the same It's a real shame, but the "eat what we decide, or go elsewhere " attitude, does not sit well with me, and I and my friends will not be returning It seems unreasonable to be unprepared to offer the customer (who in this case is clearly NOT considered to be always right, or indeed to have a different opinion to the management !) A CHOICE as to their diet !

Excellent plant based food, well cooked, presented and above all very tasty. The setting by the river, the decorations and great friendly and efficient service made for a really lovely evening. Two very good vegan beers (Ilkley brewery). What a delight to have a whole menu to choose from!

We stopped off here after a little ramble around the area. Sitting by the stream and eating a potato pakora wrap was wonderful. The service was great. The dog was welcomed and the food was delicious. If you don’t have to eat meat to enjoy a meal then this place is terrific.

Great food lovely friendly staff. Setting is really beautifully along side stream. Dog friendly as a bonus.

Lovely location! We stopped in for lunch after having done the circular Malham Cove walk. However we were sorely disappointed by the food! We had 3 tapas dishes; platas bravas were just ok, the lentils were bland and the beef brisket was mostly fat. We thought we got bread with it, but had to order that as well, so the bread came when we were half way through the lunch. Very disappointing.

Wow - what a place. So incredibly welcoming from the moment we arrived. Quirky decor but nothing offensive. We sat in the sun and had drinks before dinner. The manager was the most friendly person we have met in Yorkshire and the bar staff were lovely. Our meal was faultless - this is a menu created by a chef who knows flavours and is brave. I had the stroganoff pudding which was so tasty with truffle mash and lightly steamed broccolini and pickled beets - the balance was incredible. My mate inhaled the chicken with memorable black pudding bonbons and the other one had the short rib which was to die for. We all had the spiced treacle pudding and the wine list was very good. Meal of the trip so far with simply lovely staff. Do not walk past - go in.

Just back from having Sunday lunch at this restaurant,staff very friendly and the roast was one of the best we have had in ages, good portions and well cooked, they are very dog friendly. Only issue car park is for hotel residents, park in the village.

Called at Beck hall ( Secret Garden) for lunch before walking up Malham Cove. Warm welcome friendly staff nice airy restaurant. The lunch was delicious and not over priced, was so good we called on our return from cove for a drink, we definitely return and stay next time instead of the dreary lister Arms.

Came for lunch after a walk to Malham. Lovely lunch. Great sandwiches and the chips were mouth watering! I’d definitely come back, it was our second visit. Perfect for a sunny day sitting out beside the river

Was staying on a Sunday so booked the restaurant. Really lovely room with superb staff who are so friendly and helpful. My daughter and myself had the Sunday roast. I had thick cut leg of lamb and my daughter had beef. The meat was superb and plentiful. Served with Yorkshire pudding and three vegetables,it was a super meal. My wife had a very good steak and son in law had chicken. Everybody enjoyed their food.

An amazing experience from start to finish. Beautiful setting and absolutely fantastic food and service. Can't recommend with a buzzing atmosphere.

The food was delicious (lots of excellent veggie options). The staff were very attentive, even though they were very busy when we were there. The restaurant is along a river -- it's a beautiful setting. I highly recommended eating here after a walk round Malham!

The setting is lovely, with lots of outdoor seating by the beck, and some lovely decoration indoors. The food that came out for all the tables all looked great, and there's afternoon tea too (though you need to pre-book that). We experienced a number of errors in the service, though, and the other thing that may put people off are the dogs. We were sat right next to a big, damp dog which somewhat smelled, which was a bit off-putting for lunch. But I get that its a dog friendly place attracting dog owners so not complaining as such, just letting folks who'd be bothered by that know.

This place is highly recommended. Reasons why you should go: Excellent service from highly attentive staff Good portion size Lovely fresh fish Dog friendly Beautiful establishment

Wonderful friendly staff greeted us and made us very welcome we sat outside with our dogs along the riverside . We eat vegetarian and there was lots from us to choose from on the menu we opted for the vegan banana blossom fish and chips and three of the Yorkshire Tapas all tasted super delicious and the banana blossom was a huge portion in fact all the portions are really large the freshly made home-made sauces are delicious and it was a really enjoyable lunch I was so glad we stumbled across this place as we are walking back to Malham village from Malham Cove

What a beautiful place for a restaurant. As part of the Beck Hall hotel. The food is great with a lot of vegetarian possibilities. Very quiet place next to a stream of water......super.

Lovely location. Waited a while after seating for a menu and a further while for drinks to arrive. Starters were okay, but main courses were exceptional! We had the fish and chips and the salf beef and they were delicious - when getting the bill then had to wait again to get to pay so ended up paying at the bar after no staff were around Overall, would return for location and food but not for service

Visited here for lunch twice during our stay in Malham The restaurant has a fantastic menu served within the beautifully decorated interior, or the stunning outdoor area. Highly recommended

Beautiful riverside dining , as a coeliac I was well catered for. Superb Monkfish for me & fish & chips with a twist for my friend. Friendly staff & nice wine list & local ales.

We had been travelling around Scotland and stopped here for two nights on a DBB, for ease. The menu looked really interesting and the quality of the food and service were fantastic.

Visited on Easter Monday. The roast beef was amazing. Generally don't order roast dinners in restaurants because they are never as good as my husbands and usually disappointed but this was fantastic. Beef cooked perfectly. Giant Yorkshire pud. Veggies deliciously el dente. Gravy and roasties...

Popped in for late lunch as we were staying opposite. My daughter was taking a few seconds to choose what tapas she wanted and Martin said ‘Guys I’ve got a lot of people to serve so if you could just……’It made us feel really uncomfortable....

We had walked down from Malham cove and came across this attractive looking restaurant! My niece is gluten free so we had a look at the menu to see if there were any options for her. The menu had a key at the beginning that...

Salt beef was DELICIOUS but the menu options were very limited…lots of plant based options leaving you wanting more choice. Good selection of gins.

Went for a family members birthday lunch. Staff were very friendly, especially Mabelle. A few minor errors with wine and food were rectified without issue. The food was excellent and thank goodness not the usual pub fare. Certainly worth a return trip.

Went in whilst staying down the road at the lister arms, had a few drinks on 3 occasions and lunch on another. The staff here were the most warm, welcoming friendly people ever. Lots of people coming in for drinks and food. Lovely room to...

What a lovely place. The staff are so friendly and the food and drink amazing. They do a lovely afternoon tea and also a tapas selection between 12 and 4pm which I would highly recommend. A great place to come to relax after a walk....

Great homemade scones the like of which we haven’t had in years. Lovely staff, very chatty and friendly yet a very busy and well used place, dog friendly too.

Had a meal here in Sept and although it was only a burger, it was first rate! Lovely lively spot on the river. Good outdoor seating for warmer days. Very dog friendly....we seemed to be in a minority without a dog! Highly recommend and look...

Me and my partner came here last week and had a delightful afternoon tea. We both had the vegetarian option and loved the selection of food, especially the sandwiches!

My wife & I booked this restaurant for our second night in Malham, largely on the basis of the Mediterranean-style menu. It was a little different to the pub food on offer at the Lister Arms where we were staying. Unfortunately the food didn’t live...

I have mixed opinions about this restaurant. The food is excellent, no problems there! The restaurant advertises itself as being "dog friendly" so don't be surprised to see dogs in a restaurant. We were fully aware of their dog policy before we booked, but this...

As a group of 7 booking the day before was very accommodating with us, we had to agree an early table but it was worth it. The seating was lovely, food was outstanding and staff attentive. There is a children’s menu but you have to...

We called in for drinks after visiting the Cove. What a lovely place sat beside the the stream, with its lovely garden and terrace. Staff are pleasant and we will visit again to eat as the food we saw looked lovely. The bar area is...

This is one of my favourite restaurants to visit. We’ve been once before and we travelled to Malham looking forward to going for dinner here and we were not disappointed. The food is amazing. The lemon chicken sandwich is probably the best sandwich I’ve had...

We were visiting Malham for a 2-day walking break. On arrival, we decided to check out Beck Hall and its restaurant: The Secret Garden. We'd already booked for dinner on the following day but wanted a light lunch as we'd just arrived. The place itself...

We stopped here after a long walk on a hot day. The garden is very pretty and peaceful; the service friendly, and the food very nice - we especially enjoyed the burger and the cheese croquettes. Recommended.

Beautiful setting and the perfect stop after doing the cove. Friendly staff, pet friendly, delicious food and there is accommodation. Fantastic vibe a must do in Malham.

stopped here for lunch after walking the cove, very pretty setting, friendly service we just had chips and a coke each will come back again

We popped in for dinner without a reservation and were made very welcome even though the place was very busy for a Sunday evening. We sat outside by the stream and even though it went chilly the outside heaters were well received! We had lovely...

Four of us turned up here today without a reservation but the lovely lady who greeted us managed to find us a table, right next to the stream. The setting was idyllic. The staff were lovely and the food was excellent. We are already planning...

Breakfast: The menu is pretty much standard. Cereals, yogurt, juice, fresh fruit salad to start. English breakfast(or any part thereof), egg Benedict, poached egg and avocado (more avocado please). Veggie options also. All of a very good standard. Lunch:A variety of dishes available including Yorkshire...

A lovely setting but unfortunately the food doesn’t do it justice. The starter of cheese croquettes were just bland. The fisherman’s stew main course again was pretty nondescript, it looked the part but was underwhelming. A tasteless selection of cheeses followed with “artisan” biscuits. A...

Lovely from the moment we arrived. Great service, wonderful Lady from the village sorted us out promptly. We both went for the Vegan options, Moving Mountains to burger serve d perfectly not dry like other places I've tried recently, Vegan tapas were well presented. A...

I can’t praise this place highly enough. I booked a table at very short notice, and although they were extremely busy they squeezed us in and I’m so glad they did. The staff were all really friendly, the service was attentive and the food was...

Idyllic, wonderful riverside setting, you can eat outdoors in beautiful garden or next to the beck or inside dining room with bifold doors opening out onyto both river and garden. Decor upmarket yet comfortable. Food superb. Limited good quality menu ( no mass produced food here). Everything about this place is 5 stars but what makes it absolutely perfect for me were the super friendly and efficient staff. Wish I lived nearer so could visit more often.

We stayed at Beck Hall for two nights on a DBB deal and were very impressed by the food in the restaurant. Small but interesting choice on the menu. Very generous portions. I had delicious Moules Frites on the first night followed by excellent creme caramel. Very good rib eye with interesting accompaniments on the second night. I couldn't finish the steak so sadly didn't manage my planned dessert. Breakfast was the standard offering but all of very good quality. We were partcularly impressed with the fruit salad and I sampled the porridge which was excellent!! The coffee particularly good.

Great food, great surroundings with efficient staff. This is a hidden gem. Good selection of food and each of us thoroughly enjoyed the wide variety of dishes we had. The value for money was excellent for the standard of every part of the evening. I really liked the toilet twinning idea to help support less fortunate communities.

This was the first time we have been to the secret garden and it was wonderful! We had a great table by the window overlooking the river, the service was lovely and the food was amazing. Will definitely be going back.

Another good experience at the Secret Garden. Menu varied but not too extensive. Friendly staff. Food tasty and decent portion sizes. Covid precautions in place.

We visit family in Settle each year and always find different places to each locally. The Secret Garden was recommended by a friend and to be honest I had never heard of it, but I will certainly be telling others about it. Felt a bit over dressed as we were celebrating a birthday and had an early evening reservation but lots of more appropriately dressed guests for the surroundings were there but that did not impact our lovely meal and beautiful scenery. A good range of dishes on the menu to suit everybody. We had starters and mains and they were delicious. Service was polite and friendly and everybody was adhering to the Covid guidelines.

So so delicious! Gorgeous food and amazing setting. A must visit with brilliant staff. Great value for money and super fresh food. Loved every bite!

Stopped by for tapas and drinks on bank holiday Monday. We didn't book a table, the restaurant has a number of outdoor tables reserved for walk-in. When we arrived at around 11:30am, we were the only table there... by 12:30, it was full. Would definitely recommend getting there just prior to the start of food service for a better chance of getting a table. The outdoor tables line the stream running past the restaurant, making for a lovely setting for a meal.The 'Yorkshire Tapas' was excellent, well-portioned and good value for £11 for three dishes. There was a large drinks menu, including local lagers and ales - I would recommend the Black Sheep 54 Lager brewed in nearby Masham.Staff were very friendly and service was fast. The restaurant is definitely worth the short walk through the village.

Lovely picturesque location next to the stream/river. Quirky decor with an overall Mediterranean feel to the menu. We had drinks and then decided to get some tapas, everything was very nice but we marked down a star because they got both our drinks and food order wrong. Would perhaps be a good idea to repeat the order to customers before putting it through. As we are not fussy, we didn’t complain about either and just ate/drank what we got.

We ate here during our stay in Malham. It is part of Beck Hall. Excellent restraunt serving high quality food at a reasonable price. Good covid precautions and staff were very helpfull. Probably the best eating place in Malham.

Excellent food, somewhat erratic service. I found the decor a bit bizarre, not just the toilet twinned with a latrine in Pakistan, and the signage is very poor - we walked past it twice. There is a hotel and a cafe in the same place, all with different names. You cross the beck on an ancient clapper bridge to get to it - a good start!

Fantastic tapas outside by a stream. We shared 6 tapas dishes between 2 of us for £22. It was very good food, tasty and good portion amounts. Would highly recommend if in Malham

Polite staff, superb peaceful location, lovely surroundings and the food was excellent. I will book again!

The service was quick and they'd handled social distancing regulations well. We shared some Yorkshire tapas which was a unexpected but very satisfying way to finish a morning of running. It was tucked away in a very sweet spot and there was plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. Thanks so much :)

Visited here for lunch and cannot rate this beautiful place highly enough. The setting is amazing, the food was wonderful and we were served by a great lady called Linda whose customer service was first class. The Covid measures in place were very reassuring and we felt relaxed but safe the whole time. Thank you.

This Restaurant was recommended,so we booked a meal for 7.00pm (several weeks in advance)Just like other reviews everything was perfect, food surroundings, atmosphere, and we felt covid safeOne thing spoiled our whole evening...a young male waiter..On arrival at 7.00 we were shown to our table and ordered a very nice and expensive bottle of wine and our meal..no problemLiterally just finished our meal and was topping up our wine glasses when the same waiter came over and informed us they had a very busy night ahead and not enough tables so would we either move to the “snug” area or outside on the patio.We were not expecting to have sole use of our table all night but if I said we had been seated for exactly ONE HOUR we were unimpressed, we firmly declined feeling really uncomfortable, after that incident we felt the atmosphere between us and him went swiftly down hillWhat a shame untrained staff let this great place down

Husband and I ate here today after a walk around Malham Cove. The restaurant has inside and outside searing either in gardens at the front or a terrace next to the river. It's a beautiful setting for outside dining however we opted to sit inside the restaurant that is decorated and furnished beautifully.As it's during the covid-19 pandemic, social distancing is taken seriously with tables set apart and routes for people to follow. Staff wear PPE when serving you. The tables are fully disinfected after each use and the menus are laminated and taken away for cleaning after orderingIt was fairly busy when we arrived with most tables inside taken and the terrace full. We were seated and had our orders taken within 5 minutes, our drinks came within a couple of minutes and our food about 10 minutes later.Our food was fantastic, I had 3 tapas plates (v large portions!) and my husband had the minute steak baguette with chips (large portion of chips). Throughout the visit all of the staff were wonderful and friendly, taking an interest in where we came from and what had brought us to Malham, always had smiles on their faces.With the location, setting, decor and portion sizes you would expect a place like this to be quite expensive, however it's extremely good value. Our food and two drinks each came in at £30.The only sad thing was we couldn't leave a tip as they can't take tips on cards and we had no cash so please bear this in mind. We were upset as we really wanted to show our appreciation for a fantastic meal.

We were staying at the hotel so decided to book a table for our evening meal.Wow! We wasn’t disappointed.We both really enjoyed our meals , with great service . Also really impressed with the effort all staff made with social distancing and to make you feel safe during your meal.And wow what a location.Would fully recommend for anyone wanting a fantastic meal in a fantastic setting.

ate here twice recently. Tables spaced further apart to allow for distancing. cutlery not set up on tables but brought to the table when needed. sanitising stations in place. All meals in general of a very good standard and were decent portions. The chicken supreme went down particularly well as did the fish stew.One slight disappointment however was the sticky toffee pudding. The 'cake' was too dense. Not sure if this is made in house or bought in but in my opinion it needs to be a lighter texture. I did enjoy the cheese board although a table close by sent theirs back. Not sure why.Again the staff were excellent.A reminder that dogs are allowed in the restaurant so if this is not your thing stay away.We also had a couple of lunches here. Caesar salad tasty as was the pakora wrap.Will be back with or without a dog

This is a really lovely venue and the food was excellent too. We wanted to stay there but sadly they were fully booked but we did eat one night and wish we had swapped our last night at out hotel for another meal here. Excellent.

Oh what a place :). From the delightful scenery to the fabulous food and breathtaking walks! This is a must after a long hike! We’ll be back to stay next time with our two Pomeranians who absolutely loved it.

Ate twice here recently. The menu is varied and should cater for most tastes. The chicken supreme was very good, the risotto very tasty, however the fish and chips were alitlle disappointing in that the fish had been overdone. The fish itself was ok but the batter was very dark and too solid. Whilst I ate the fish I had to leave the batter.Overall however the food was decent and tasty.

The food is absolutely anazing,every course and every meal we had was five star,the selection of drinks was really good and the staff couldn't do enough for you.Breakfast selection gets 5 stars as well.

Popped into hear after walking to Malham cove. Friendly service and so much to choose from on the menu. Such beautiful decor in a quaint location by the water. Very clean and dog friendly.

Very much enjoyed our evening meal at The secret garden. Great atmosphere with friendly, helpful staff. Great selection on the menu and we both enjoyed our steaks which were extremely well cooked. Would happily eat here again.

We stayed here for a few days with our pooch. Amazing hospitality, so very dog friendly. Fabulous rooms. Excellent bistro, food just so tasty and the best english breakfast. Close to all walks. Beautiful location. Querky snug lounge with log fire. Very friendly, perfect stay and exceeded all expectations xxx

The place is amazing, in beautiful grounds, charming inside with lovely tasting food in a picturesque location and great staff, highly recommend.

This place has the right name. It’s atmosphere and ambience of this restaurant is second to none. Greeted warm and friendly. The food was like having an explosion in your mouth full of amazing flavours, as you can see from the pictures the portions are of a good size.I had the Fish Stew and my husband had The Beck Burger both of us have never tasted food like it in our lives!Louise is definitely a great find!!

Worth seeking this place out, for some relaxed riverside dining. Interesting decor to enjoy in the restaurant as well. My only citicism was that dogs are allowed in.

Good food, served promptly and well, in a welcoming , comfortable, non formal environment. Bistro style and dog friendly, which is fine by us, and increasingly rare.

Just eaten at this place and we couldn't be more pleasedWe have a little dog with us the staff grewted us all and offered a matt for my dog and treats, as for the food - stunning, price greatWe ate here in May and was equally as pleasedThis place is a must

My husband and I visited for afternoon tea and were delighted with the selection of sandwiches, cakes and cream scones. I had St. Clements tea and my husband had coffee, with the cakes. All of which were very tasty and flavoursome. Ham, smoked salmon and cheese sandwiches on fresh brown and seeded buns. Warm fruit scones with fresh cream and jam, then sparkle cake, mini chocolate and toffee pot and chocolate brownie. It was a lovely way to spend an afternoon.

We went here as a surprise for my mum's birthday. The setting of the restaurant was idyllic, right next to a stream with a willow tree and as it was a hot summer's day all the bifold doors were open. The decor is really quirky and contemporary and the staff are all really friendly. The food was also very good and the chef let us have tapas even though it had technically finished, so that was a nice touch. The only negative I can think of is the unisex toilets, as there were only 2 cubicles working and it wasn't the cleanest!

We were staying in the village and went here for breakfast - so glad we did! A river view, fantastic food, and plentiful. Great coffee! Staff are so friendly and helpful (thank you LlNDA, you're an absolute star)

Decided on the roast of the day. Promptly delivered by the attentive staff. The food was very good apart from the yorkshire pudding which was over chewy. Perhaps been kept warm too long? But that was the only downside to the meal. Portion size was good.

This bistro was a excellent find for a group meal, the path to get to the restaurant was amazing crossing a stone bridge. The atmosphere leading to the restaurant was like a secret garden for sure.

Had lunch here today, we both had three tapas for £11 and it was all good ! Big portions, hot food, delicious salads and great service. Seeing the kingfisher was a bonus. No dogs inside today but plenty outside, I’m no dog lover but this is clearly a very dog friendly restaurant. A family with young children came in and were very well looked after. The loos were spotless!

Had dinner here the first night whilst staying at Beck Hall, and we were very impressed. The evening menu is not huge but the variety is good and I think most people would find something for them. I had the beef short ribs with sweet potato and feta which was divine, followed by the chocolate pot which was also delicious, though very rich! Not complaining though.

Had a really wonderful evening, superb quality food and wine. Wonderful service and a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Good choice of meals on the imaginative menu. Freshly-cooked, delicious food, locally-sourced with some naughty puddings.

Beautiful location and lovely restaurant. I thought it would be stuffy as it's a hotel restaurant and a bit 'vain' as it's so good-looking but nothing of the sort. If you don't like dogs I'd give this place a wide berth. If you do, then it must be the best place to stay in Malham. I reckon there were more dogs than people! The food was hearty and reasonably priced and service was swift and friendly. The menu delighted us both so much that we had all three courses. My partner loved all three of his courses - mushroom starter, mushroom and spinach wellington and chocolate mousse. I started with cheese croquettes, had the same main and finished with the passion fruit cheesecake with blood orange sorbet. Loved the sorbet but the cheesecake was huge and didn't seduce me in the way I'd hoped. Not sure if it was the solid passion-fruit jelly on top or the fact that I've just become used to making cheesecakes with good quality mascarpone which is dense, rich and creamy with lots of vanilla notes. Anyway, all good and a fantastic last night treat!

A lovely restaurant/bar across a brook just near the Buck in Malham. Highly recommend. Dog friendly is an understatement! If you don't like dogs - don't go!

What a lovely place to eat ! Wonderful location by the stream in the company of ducks and kingfishers! Delicious food !

Stumbled upon this lovely little place when on a trip to Malham , follow the road out of the village towards Malham cove and you cant miss it sitting prettily by the river .

We ate here while staying at Beck Hall. The food is excellent and the chef truly talented with flavour and style. The waiting staff were friendly polite and caring, nothing was too much trouble. The food is a little more costly than some places but for the quality and the locally sourced items it’s well worth it. With stream side views are amazing and the delicate lighting of the gardens gives a romantic feel to your evening meal. Perfect for a special occasion.
