Cracoes in Craven

We stumbled upon this place by accident & what a discovery! Food & staff - great, don't drive past this place! We were on a day trip to Skipton from Manchester & decided to have a drive around to look for somewhere different to eat....

Came here for my grandads birthday with the whole family last weekend and had one of the best lunches ever, great food, with nice portions (with a choice of a smaller portion as my grandad doesn't eat much, so was suitable for all the family)...

Staying at a local cottage. Really friendly welcome when I called in to ask about booking a table for this evening. Returned later to an equally pleasant welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. Food was lovely. We can highly recommend it and will return again...

A warm welcome awaits you at Cracoes Cafe. The garlic and Stilton mushrooms were mouthwatering followed by Beef and Onion baguette. 5 star food and service !

We have driven past this cafe on numerous occasions previously but never stopped. Due to it's location by the time we had seen it we had driven past it. The same happened again today but we really fancied a coffee and cake so turned the...

This is a fantastic little place serving good home made food , I had chicken in a bacon and Stilton sauce, my partner had sea bass and my mother had seafood pie we were all very impressed with out meals the service was good and...

We come here quite often to break up our journey to Skipton. Always pleasant service with great coffee! They also have live music evening events called Cracoe's by night. Make sure you book because they are very poplar.

Found this venue while on a Sunday drive in Yorkshire dales. Pleasant staff, clean and warm. We had bacon on toast, nice bread and loads of quality bacon. Pot of tea to wet the whistle. Would definitely recommend and will return ourselves

We only called for coffee but enjoyed beautiful cakes as well. It was gorgeous date and walnut cream sponge and also chocolate with orange cake. The interior was soon cosy and friendly as were the owners. The menu for meals looked really good and extensive with specials boards on the wall. We will certainly be calling in again. So should you.

Lovely meal, asked for a starter off lunch menu very happy to oblige. Food was piping hot and the service was pleasant. Not the cheapest meal but worth it as a treat.

My husband and I stopped off here on our way to Grassington. We were not disappointed! My husband had scrambled eggs on toast and I had the prawn sandwich and homemade chips. The sandwich was awesome, crammed full of tasty fresh prawns and the home made chips were to die for. The young waitress was very friendly and polite and the service was second to none. We will most definitely be returning here on our next trip up to Grassington.

Used to come here every month with my Grandad, visited a few days ago and the 'gammon' is wafer thin pieces. Before it was beautifully thick. Disappointed.

We used to come here years ago and we visited again on Sunday 16 Aug. We sat on a table in the window and the owner asked us to move like two naughty school kids to another table as they were expecting someone with a pram. That someone with a pram never arrived so the embarrassing move and all eyes on us at the time was a waste of time.The food was average I would say, both had the Steak and Kidney Pie with what was described as Shortcust Pastry topping but was actually Suet. I had 3 pieces of steak and 2 small KIdney and my other half didn't have any kidney at all. Veg came in small turins not enough for two as all and chips came in a basket with a doily, tad old fashioned. for a total of £23 for two including the worlds smallest glass of lemonade which was described as a can of lemonade but probably about half a can, it was really disappointing. you at least expect to be full after paying that amount but we were far from it. We chose not to have a sweet as they probably would have been just as minuscule and very expensivewe will not go again in case we get told off by the owner

Dined at Cracoes the other evening the new seafood platter is to die for, has to be booked in advance but well worth it !

Excellent welcome and service with food using local produce. We will unquestionably use Cracoes the next time we are in the area.

We keep coming back ,great food always , we went on an evening this time I had fish pie and my husband had fillet steak with a blue cheese sauce ,

Recently had a lovely meal with friends. Booked for an evening and really enjoyed the food and intimate atmosphere. Never felt rushed and really appreciated the relaxing meal chatting with friends. Good choices an a varied menu and nice ales served too. Very impressive all round.

Recently tried the cafe for lunch and were very pleased with everything so went tonight for my Dads birthday meal. Lovely warm welcome, chilled water, bread, oil and olives brought to the table before the starters arrived. The menu has something to please everyone, generous portions and all home made.The atmosphere was nice and friendly and we all enjoyed our meals. I'd heartily recommend a visit here to anybody.

Stopped for a coffee and cream scone. A great welcome from the friendly owners. The coffee was lovely and the scones were home made. We gave the specials and the menu a once over, fantastic choices, we would have called back for an evening tea but it closes at 5 during the week....maybe next time we are in the area.

Very warm, friendly welcoming staff and excellent service. The food was fabulous and we had a simply wonderful evening.

Made welcome by staff throughoutMenu choice excellent with choice of specialsSpotlessly cleanFood homemade and cooked freshVery quiet at lunchtime but more customers coming in as I leftParking handy outside and warm inside with fires aglow

A warm welcome, good selection on the menu and the food was cooked beautifully. The best fish and chips I've had in a long time. Both of my children polished off their meals and then had a traditional pudding to follow. We all left happy and look forward to a return visit when we're passing again.

Great warm welcome, liked the wood burning boiler in the entrance lobby. Very quick and efficient service. Nice pot of tea and generous tea cake with lashings of butter, rest of the party plumped for scones which were again good portions and very tasty.

Lovely ,friendly and great home made food .If your in the area it's well worth a visit. Always made welcome - four generations of family visited over the years.

We were told by friends to visit Cracoes, We Arrived there about 11.45am mid-week, to have a early lunch before visiting Grassington. .The lunch time menu had a good selection of food. At this time of day, Cracoes was very quiet and we could select any table we wanted to have our meal. After we had been sat at our table for two to three minutes a very friendly member of staff came to take our order. The food was served to us after only a short wait and was excellent,especially the lamb chops which I had and to finish off our meal we all had a proper pudding....Rhubarb Pie and Custard. Everybody was well pleased with their lunch and we will certainly be returning to "Cracoes"in the very near furure

Arrived here at lunchtime after cycling from Morecambe on the Way of the Roses. Sat outside as we didn't want to leave our bikes unlocked but a constant stream of wagons heading to/from nearby quarries was hardly idyllic. Food was well presented and plentiful, friendly owner but he seemed rushed off his feet..

Great little restaurant to stop off at. Nice menu with a good selection of food to meet most peoples fancy. As a family we had The lamb chops, chicken, supreme and full breakfast. Everybody was happy with their food. The lamb (Wharfdale lamb) was both large in size and extremely tasty. The meal was finished off with a nice dessert.

travelled up from spain to experience the route of the Tour de France, through wonderful Yorkshire, stopped at Cracoe's for a cuppa tea... ended up having 2 x toasted teacakes. mmmmm and a hot beef and horseradish sandwich. (glad we only stopped for tea haha) 11.00 am, pouring with rain and miserable. but Cracoe's was a delight, lovely people. fantastic food, will definitely tell anyone I meet to call in. The only thing about pre printed forms is that they sometimes ask the wrong question. Trip advisor, this wasn't a meal. we stopped for a drink, saw the food and had to have some, haha,

popped in here for some lunch.we both had a beef and onion sandwich which was excellent.great pots of tea and a treacle Pud and custard to finish.everything was delicious and we will be popping in again when passing.

Lovely ,friendly and great home made food .if your in the area it's well worth a visit , was very busy when we went so might be worth booking

cracoe café near skipton is one of the best all day breakfasts I have had as a keen motorcycle rider I have tried many,but this has to be the best!! a little expensive but well worth it,all meat eggs are sourced locally Jacksons farm shop,across the road.@£10 including a tea pot of tea its just affordable

Called in while passing as we didn't fancy I "pub type" meal and we are glad we did. Greeted by the owner, he showed us to the table and grave us plenty of time to choose what we wanted. Good selection of food from the menu along with various drinks were available. The restaurant was very clean and traditionally presented which added to giving a relaxed atmosphere. The personal facilities were excellent - very clean. Would I come here again - yes

Visited regularly by my Sister and Brother in Law, I was introduced to Cracoes a few years ago and have never been disappointed. The welcome is genuine by mine host and the service second to none. He remembers the little things from previous visits and has a friendly word for all patrons. Nothing is too much trouble, The food is very good, always piping hot and tasty, well prepared and presented ( compliments to the Chef ) The Main courses of which we have tried many between us are excellent from the good Old Fashioned Roast Dinners to the Lamb Chops, Salmon,Fish and Chips and Chicken Supreme to name but a few, we have even called here late morning for Bacon Butties and Coffee and these were delicious!!!! The Puddings (again all home made) are wonderful and as full as we are from the main course can't resist having one......The portion are all very generous and I deny anyone will leave still hungry! The Cracoe is a very warm, clean, inviting and comfortable establishment and well worth a visit

We have been coming to this cafe for years there is always a great variety of food on offer and the staff are friendly and helpful.

Visited Cracoes for Sunday lunch 6th October 2013, two friends. Had roast beef, Yorkshire pudding and veg etc. It was terrific. so were the puddings. Red and white house wine really good also. Lovely staff, good service and it was busy. Good value will definitely be going again and recommend. I used to visit this cafe years ago, then it closed for a while and now reopened and it's lovely. We noticed that other customers were very complimentary about their meals also.

What a top breakfast to set us up for our day on the fells! Neil and his staff couldn't have been more accommodating. 8 of us to cater for, pretty much all with different breakfast requests including full English, a vegetarian breakfast and bacon butties. All arrived exactly as ordered, and all together. Home-made tomato sauce, and top ups of fresh tea and coffee without asking. Kept us well fuelled until we hit civilisation later in the afternoon!

Calling in with our group of vulnerable adults on a walking day out, we did rather spring on this small but attractive café. Each member ordered something different form the simple but varied snack menu, and we were all served quickly and without fuss despite the difficulties some of our people have in communicating. the owner was friendly and welcoming and I highly recommend the place for an unpretentious but good quality meal. The cakes and ice cream were very well received. We didn't sample the main courses although one member had apple pie and custard and pronounced it excellent. worth a quick visit if you are in the Dales.

Came across Cracoe's by accident whilst searching for a late lunch. We were warmly greeted into this cozy restaurant. Had a couple of fresh hot beef baguettes and a delightful home made steak and kidney pie. The food was served piping hot, with more than enough for any appetite! A good place for honest home cooked food, reasonably priced and served with a smile.

We ate a late lunch at this excellent cafe today. The food was freshly prepared and the portion sizes were generous. The interior of the cafe has been thoughtfully decorated to give it a homely feel, including the spotlessly clean toilets. We would definitely dine there again and recommend it to those looking for a tasty meal.

My friend and I visited Cracoe cafe as we were visiting the dales. We walked in and were immediately greeted by a lovely gentleman who was very helpful and cheerful. The place was very clean and tidy and looked recently refurbished however the whole place lacked some atmosphere. We were the only people in the place and we felt like we had to whisper as there was no back ground noise whatsoever. The food we had was nice and the coffee was fantastic. We came to pay the bill and we weren't given a bill just told the amount. Call me old fashioned but I like to see what I'm paying for. I understand that there was no till point in the actual dinning area but surely that doesn't mean no bill! The bill came and it was £20.30 for two coffees and two full English. We thought this was slightly overpriced. It was a shame as the location seemed to be ideal.

We travel from bradford to cracoe cafe every other week it's always really good!!! From The service (which is alway with a smile) to food to the moment you leave! I would reccomended anyone to go here. Also they are great with children our 3yr old girl loves going here and the food aswell!

We have eaten at Cracoe Cafe on various occasions, it is cosy ,warm and welcoming ! the food is excellant with a varied menu from afternoon teas with wonderful cakes to full meals cooked to order by the owners. It is so conveniant to call as it is on the road through Cracoe if you are heading up the dale to Grassington and Kettlewell. Give it a visit you will not be dissapointed !

I have been to the Café several times and I am never disappointed. The staff are friendly and welcoming, the café is cosy and warm and the food is divine. All freshly made to order and generous portion sizes with quick service, we were very pleased with Cracoe Café and would gladly visit again. Strongly recommend this lovely little place.

We have just returned from a week in the Dales, and went to Cracoe's several times during the week. The choice is very good with all food being cooked freshly, and nothing is too much trouble for the owner. As stated by a previous review, the fish, chips and mushy peas are wonderful.Only problem is you will probably eat too much as the food portions are extremely generous! Wonderful home cooked food. Well recommended.

We visited Grassington Festival for two days and eat at Cracoes twice,the best fish and chip meal we have had anywhere and we are experts,Highly recommended, go out of your way to eat there.

we had a week in Grassington and ate out every day Cracoes was by far the best meal ,all home made and served with a smile in a warm and cozy place If you are in the area YOU must go
