Granny’s Kitchen in Richmondshire

Sadly tomorrow is the end of our caravan season. So today was our final scheduled visit for our regular Saturday morning breakfast of the year. We are already looking forward to returning the 2nd Saturday in March 2025. If you want GREAT food, with GREAT service you are always assured of both together with a friendy welcome. Thankyou Wendy, Mick, Lisa and the rest of team "Granny's Kitchen".

This is the best breakfast in Richmond and I have tried many of the others over the years. It's a quirky little place and I love it and the people who work there. I often pop in for coffee and one of the home made pastries. They do get very busy and I have to be patient. But it is always worth the wait, the food is excellent.

Absolutely lovely quirky cafe, great cakes and special cookies! Just saw a sign and popped in, over 2 floors and really enjoyed the atmosphere and staff didn’t eat off the menu but it looked very appetising and very reasonable! Will next time

Close to the market place but tucked away, this is a delightful little cafe. We had a table in the lovely quirky little courtyard. The 'dainty' sandwiches were the perfect size for lunch, rather than the huge portions usually on offer in other establishments. Will definitely call again next time we're in the area

We always visit when in Richmond - won’t go anywhere else now. Quirky little cafe, friendly staff, home made and baked goods, freshly made drinks, can’t fault it! I had a dainty sandwich today, plenty of tasty filling - ham and cheese, with a side salad with home pickled red onions. Absolutely delicious, then of course, cakes to take home from the vast selection downstairs. On reading a few negative reviews, people’s expectations differ but please give this cafe a chance! There are not many cafes these days where the owners put their heart and soul into their business. We all have off days, so if a member of the team are not smiling, maybe they have just served a miserable customer! Give small businesses a chance, they are all struggling to survive these days and Richmond is a lovely little town and we don’t want to loose it to big companies who don’t care about their customers!

Great cafe and friendly staff. Had sandwiches on lovely bread. Sat in the outside area which was nice and cosy. Called back the day after for some lovely cookies and currant teacakes to take home. Will definitely return when next in the area.

Huge variety of options to suit all appetites and dietary requirements (vegan included)! An excellent feed from friendly , helpful staff - 100% recommend eating here!

First visit to this lovely place. We stopped and had a coffee ,then walked round Richmond . After looking at other places to eat for lunch we decided to come back here. Its like a tardis upstairs and the outside is very quaint though small. My son really wanted sausage and mash and though not on the menu they very kindly put it together for him- he is on the spectrum so was chuffed to get what he fancied. Hubby had the burger and I had the ploughman's. Such friendly staff ,where nothing seemed too much trouble for them. Will definitely go back.

We arrived here after a beautiful walk around Easby Abbey, cute building with quirky seating. We were served by a lady who seemed to have 0 customer service skills, she was abrupt and rude it made us feel as though we were causing a nuisance by giving our custom. Food was nice, mince beef and dumplings in Yorkshire pudding looked lovely, would defo recommend if you want a hearty warm cooked meal, nothing spectacular but definitely warmed us up and did the job! Has the potential to be a great little cafe if staff were abit more welcoming and friendly it’s a shame for the owners really that their staff are potentially letting their business down!

Looking for somewhere to shelter from the rain, we stumbled into this little gem of a place. Quirky/quaint but oh so good. Service excellent, cake selection brilliant and all at fair prices! Going back for certain!

We popped in for lunch as it was conveniently located opposite the hotel where we were staying and looked quaint. We both had the Yorkshire pasties with mushy peas, which were the best ever, followed by tea. All very reasonably priced. Highly recommended and if we find ourselves in Richmond again, we will be heading straight there. Well done!

Hidden away down a small alley we managed to find a table in the courtyard as the upstairs seating area was almost full. I ordered a cheese and Ham sandwich which was packed with filling, washed down with a nice pot of tea Friendly staff would recommend

We visited Granny's Kitchen several times during our shirt stay in Richmond. The food is really good - tasty, homemade and good value. We had savoury meals in the main and cuppas - coffee and tea. The breakfasts are great, and they make their own small tin loaves which is used for the toast. We also tried the mince and dumplings - right nice. The team working tables are lovely, friendly and get up and down the stairs amazingly quickly! Definitely on our must visit again in future visits and try the cakes!

The bakes at Granny’s Kitchen are a massive draw amongst our friends, but we were after heart lunch. Even in a Monday this cafe was nearly full, and it is understandable why. A full English and a sausage and egg sandwich ordered with two flat whites filled a hole and was well priced. Service was quick, with a smile and we didn’t wait long for food to arrive. 3 drinks, two lunches and two giant stuffed cookies to go was £27, which pleasantly surprised me. The cookies were incredible as an evening snack and I will be going to buy more soon!

Fantastic little cafe .Extremely pet friendly Staff really pleasant and the food was just wow !!! Steak filled Yorkshire pudding with veg is too die for, Burger was amazing too. Came away with a huge bag of food goodies . See you again very soon !!!

We visited Granny's kitchen for lunch based on a recommendation, unfortunately, it was disappointing. I ordered soup and a dainty sandwich whilst my wife ordered a different soup and a toastie. The service was polite and friendly but incredibly slow. When the food arrived both soups were very watery and lacked in flavour. My sandwich was OK but very small, my wife's toastie was dry. I would suggest trying somewhere else.

Fantastic little cafe .Extremely pet friendly Staff really pleasant and the food was just wow !!! Steak filled Yorkshire pudding with veg is too die for . Came away with a huge bag of food goodies . See tou again very soon !!!

Pie covered in gravy which did not taste nic Second dish ploughmans well if you could find 2 sliced of cheese I could not. THE PIE, pastrywas dry . Hygiene not good not once was a table wiped down Shame but would not reccommend

What can I say the experience was super from start to finish good was brill service 100% made v welcome by lady on point defo worth a visit.

Found this place via a Google search and boy what a place! Quirky, friendly and quaint interior, warm welcome and super friendly staff. Food was clean and plentiful with a huge pot of tea for one. Must have been good as the kids cleaned their plates !! Highly recommend and good value for money.

5 out of 5 would recommend to anyone in the world to try this I would definitely come back here when I visit. Thank you for it

Fabulous home cooked food, I had a huge piece of home made quiche and salad, another had a beef and vegetable. filled Yorkshire pudding, the beef was so tender, just delicious. Plenty of choice on the menu, no room for a pudding sadly.

Lovely little quirky cafe, had the most gorgeous caramel hot chocolate and the family enjoyed delicious chocolate milkshakes. Thanks 😊

We are residents of Richmond and therefore we are lucky enough to be able to visit Granny’s Kitchen regularly. The staff and food are great, it does feel like a real family in there. We regularly go in for breakfast which is always lovely, plenty of choice for all appetites. The fact that everything’s made in the cafe, is great for anyone who has intolerances etc as Wendy can tell you exactly what is in the meals. They also do outside catering which we had for my husbands 60th birthday buffet. The good was plentiful, with plenty of choice and all the guests tucked in and there was rave reviews especially for the quiche and pork pies! What was nice was I could tweak what I wanted without any problems, and Wendy also did a box of dairy free food for one of our guests. As Mick us such a fabulous pie maker I asked for a special steak and kidney pie Paul’s favourite with a message on it. It was so rich and packed full of meat we had it over two days ! Thank you Wendy and Mick for providing such a fabulous buffet ❤️❤️

Hidden through a small alley on Finkles Street, you’ll find this ‘little’ gem. Much larger inside than you first expect. Wide range of food on the menu. All day breakfast was brilliant.

Excellent food and service. There was a place in the forecourt for if you had dogs and a further restaurant upstairs where no animals where. The was an added extra of little dog beds for our beloved fur babies. The food was excellent and the milkshakes are to die for. We had the all day breakfast and chilli with jacket potato. I can not fault it. Very reasonably priced and excellent service. Highly recommend

Wonderful eating experience with superb food. I love the breakfasts, my wife loves the cakes. Wendy, the owner is a serious baker! Wonderful friendly service, quirky old building, Granny's Kitchen is a must every time we're in town.

I had the large Yorkshire with beef, mash, veg and gravy and it was delicious! Husband had the breakfast and said it was really good too!

What a great place something to eat for everyone plenty of choice,had the macaroni cheese with bacon came with a lovely salad on the side was too full for cake but will be back!

Asked for a Toastie on white...didn't expect miniature...smaller than salad..... next to it. Family member with me asked for 'Yorkshire' pastie.... HELLO! - this should have been from the oven.... not soggy from the microwave...and floating in gravy on the plate. And no - we...

This is definitely a quirky little spot - a covered over ginnel for dog-friendly seating (blankets for customers and dog beds provided :) ) with some indoor upstairs seating too. The menu has some proper comfort food on and they made my husband's day with...

Excellent friendly service with home baked cakes and scones. Cosy atmosphere. Good for dogs. Coconut tarts to die for!

This was the best latte we had. We sat in the dog area which is basically an alley with a cover over. There is only about 4 tables in this area and it is quite narrow. Rugs are provided if it's cold and also dog...

Cute and cosy environment. Slow service and the meals were very basic and bland. I had a potato leek soup which was very small and watery and a cheese and ham sandwich, white stale bread and not very tasty cheese. I wouldn’t go back.

One of the employees was very rude, and did not have the humility to give an apology, the manager give me a polite but very generic apology. Will not be returning.

Dog friendly cafe, dogs restricted to the court yard area, however this is under cover and heated. We were cosy on a cold Sunday in January. Hot chocolates were amazing. We purchased half a Victoria sponge to bring home and that was delicious. Staff were...

In a central location near the main market square this cafe extends over three floors and out into a courtyard. We all had the full English breakfast which was delicious. Everything was hot, well cooked and tasty. They do a big breakfast as well but...

Visited today and had a latte and a small breakfast. Was delicious. Sat in the cute little courtyard. Friendly staff and would highly recommend

We have eaten here twice. The first time we had hot food (mac and cheese + jacket potato) Both meals were disappointing but we did pick up some cake and brownie to take home with us. Both of these were delicious. Second time we visited...

Recommended in the holiday cottage suggestions book, we endorse this . We went for morning coffee, and I was tempted by fruitcake with cheese. We decided to book for lunch, and this was excellent: a quiche and salad, and poached eggs on toast, both lovely....

Monday 13th June 2022, After mooching around Richmond my husband and I were in need of refreshments. We found a lovely tearoom called ‘Granny’s Kitchen Tea Room’. We entered within and was give a lovely warm welcome by the lady who makes these wonderful cakes...

Quirky surroundings, we had two Platinum Jubilee Afternoon Teas which provided lovely different flavours and textures of homemade food in a really friendly atmosphere. Really enjoyed the food, too much to eat!

Called here today, we both had the Yorkshire pudding with beef and vegetables, it was delicious!! The desserts looked wonderful too, but we were way too full! Next time maybe! Would certainly go here again when we’re next this way.

I often visit this lovely little cafe, usually with my Dad as he loves it too ! Lovely food, definitely tell everything is homemade, even the bread ! Friendly, chatty, accommodating staff, you couldn’t ask for any more. 😊

Came to Granny's Kitchen for an early breakfast and was not disappointed. Cheery welcome as it was 7.30am. great choice of food and drink available, opted for the full English which comes in 3 sizes to suit everyone. Perfectly cooked and very tasty. Coffee also...

We only just found this cafe on the way back to the carpark. There are 3 tables in a covered area that are dog friendly and dog beds are available. We all enjoyed the cakes that we had and there was a large selection.

We discovered this little gem while shopping. And wow we went for the Yorkshire pudding as we are in Yorkshire. Oh wow I had beef my partner had chicken, Both meats melted in your mouth and the whole thing was delicious. Deffo recommend a visit...

Took my daughter for lunch here this afternoon, all look nice if a little quirky & odd smell about the place but figured it was an old building.. we sat at the table we where told to sit at, the table was mucky from the...

Beautiful home cooked food in a cosy corner of Richmond. You may not spot Granny’s Kitchen as you’re walking along but it’s definitely worth looking for! Everything is home made and delicious we also bought some of their bread and biscuits to take away. Dog...

Lovely cafe. Got that real yorkshire country feel. The food is pucker home cooked yorkshire delights. Be hungry portions are on the larger size Value for money again worthy of gods county

Granny’s Kitchen is by far one of the best cafés to visit in Richmond! Whenever we’re in town, we will always make a trip to the shop itself or their market stall in the centre of town if it’s Market Day as there is always...

Super cafe with amazing staff that go out of their way to get you want you are after. (thanks Emma). Also great outdoor seating area that’s covered to stay warm and dry with the dogs

Called in today it’s was very busy but the staff were on the ball , food & service excellent. A table near us were very rude to the waitress, she was bending over backwards to help them they were still rude !! This behaviour is...

Spent the weekend in Richmond and, after going to a recommended, pricier establishment for breakfast on day one, we weren't blown away. On day two we found Granny's Kitchen (no mean feat in itself as it is squirreled away down a ginnel). It felt like...

Read about in on trip adviser and went for quick lunch. Ploughman's great and veg soup was nice and not winter veg floating in watery soup. Service was quick and pot of tea really good.

Lovely small house hidden behind an unassuming door. Very tasty sandwich and great homemade biscuits.

First class food at reasonable prices, main course perfectly cooked and delivered with a smile, a good range of meals and afters all very tasty

Lovely home made food. We visited as 2 adults and a hungry teen. Pie mash and beans very tasty, nice pastry well filled. I had an afternoon tea which was lovely, two brown home made bread with delicious ham and a white egg mayo , little scone, blueberry and lemon cake flapjack square and sausage roll. Lots of food for one person but worth having, the bread was lovely with proper butter ahickly sliced ham the scone was light ( always a good test) I asked for chutney which was also good. The teen had homemade tomato soup, cheese and ham toastie and milkshake, pronounced all very good. We sat outside in the little alleyway, staff lovely, would visit again.

What can I say Granny's Kitchen is one of life's special moments. Friendly warm welcome, providing delicious homemade food. An absolute delight

We visited last Sunday and regret going as there were much nicer options for the same money to be had.I had pie and peas and the peas were poor quality and obviously tinned. The pie looked like something you would buy in a four pack from a freezer shop and I left most of it. My husband had sausages in a yorkshire pudding that was obviously not homemade, it looked like something again that you would buy in a freezer shop. We paid and left and no one asked us if we had enjoyed the meal or if everything was ok, as stated on many of the reviews here which the owner has replied to.

A 250 year old building tucked away with fantastic home cooked treats and the smell of fresh bread - what could be better.All the produce is home baked and fresh - one of our group even gave in when told the pork pies were just coming out of the oven - he was glad he did.To cap it off the staff were great and could not do enough to accommodate 5 and a dog.Great little cafe and left with a couple of jars of wonderful chutney.

Had lunch here today, quite simply, FANTASTIC, Lovely homemade food, great value for money, and wonderful staff. Will definitely be back.

Called in for the first time for a lovely ploughman's lunch and coffee. The service was quick and attentive, the food so good we got a homemade pasty and flapjack to take home.

Stopped in Richmond on the way home, found Granny’s by chance and glad we did! Friendly service and excellent lunch, we had the filled Yorkshire puddings which were absolutely delicious and also very reasonably priced, home baking looked amazing but I was too full after my Yorkie!

We stopped in here today for a hot drink and a snack during a day trip to Richmond. We got a huge pot of tea, a really delicious gooey brownie and a slice of Victoria sponge cake all for a really reasonable price. The staff were really friendly and helpful. It’a a nice traditional tea room for tea and cake!

I like to support all of my local independent shops as much as possible but I have to admit, I will always choose Granny's kitchen first as I love their full english with their own home made bread. My daughter loves their porridge and homemade fruit bread. I have a very sweet tooth so the brownies and lemon meringue pies are certainly my favourites. Great value for money and if you're not happy with something, you just need to ask and the staff are brilliant at rectifying anything.

Not sure I would agree with the other reviews at all . Setting in the cafe was basic , latte was hot but more like a normal white coffee rather than the frothy milky coffee you would expect. Tray bake cake portions were small and dry. There’s bound to be better cafes in Richmond

Lovely little place down a small alley, staff friendly and welcoming. We had toasties, scones and brownies all tasty and served in a pleasant and timely manner. 👍

The pork pies are top notch, as is all of their freshly made food, they also have a variety of other local good such as jams and chutneys. Scones are also worth a mention, and meat pies...

Great little local cafe and bakery. Excellent food and great staff who are polite and helpful. Definitely worth stopping in if you are in Richmond and feeling peckish or thirsty. A+

We were in Richmond on business and managed to find this place to get a takeaway coffee between appointments. The owners were very friendly, well organised in these trying times and offered a wide range of food and drinks. We only had a short time but would definitely go back to try some other things when in the area.

We have visited Richmond on many occasions but this is the first time we came across this wonderful cafe. Tucked away down a tiny passage it is a real hidden gem.The food we ordered was all freshly made, of excellent quality and reasonably priced.The staff were attentive and friendly.There is a really tempting selection of homemade bakes, bread and pies available to eat in or take away.Dogs are only welcome in the downstairs part of the cafe.Will definitely recommend to friends and return again.

What an awful day...wind and rain but found that Granny's Kitchen put a smile on my face. Cosy and warm with food to tempt the most awkward appetite. Pork pies took me back to when they were ace. Choice of buns or pudding was a problem but I had to give in. The staff are lovely, patient and helpful. I shall be back when I have lost a few pounds. Yorkshire food and hospitality at its best at the right price for a Yorkshireman.....Thanks

A little bit wild and woolly in Richmond today but it didn't spoil a lovely lunch at Granny's Kitchen. A chance to warm up and fill up. The wonderful food is home-made and the menu offers enough variety to satisfy the pickiest of eaters (including the little ones). The Team were attentive without being intrusive and the atmosphere was friendly and comfortable. Beware if you have a fondness for scones, cakes and tarts.....the choice available made deciding which one to have challenging. We shall be back again

Popped in to grannys kitchen for a bite too eat.Loved it ! Traditional home made food that was beautiful.Staff we very efficient and polite ,we will be back !!! Thank you

We visited after reading the good reviews on here, but I am afraid to say we were disappointed. Yes the prices are reasonable but the food was tasteless. I had chilli which had no flavour of chili, but was mainly onion, tin tomatoes and kidney beans. It was distinctly lacking in mince! Also ironically as it was chilli it really wasn't very warm (nor was the cafe). My husbands beef in a yorkshire was enjoyed more by him but again the beef was more like chunks of stewing steak. Sad to say we will not return. Also there were no fish dishes of any type on the menu.

We stumbled across this quaint little tea room located in a small alleyway in Richmond town and was delighted with the food, service and value for money. My husband ordered the all day English Breakfast which he thoroughly enjoyed and I had tomato & red pepper soup, which was very tasty. We both agreed that the quality of the ingredients in both dishes were excellent. The service was quick and the staff were helpful and friendly. We 'nosed' at food ordered by other customers and they all looked good - jacket potatoes, giant Yorkshire puddings, cakes, ploughman. We will definitely return when visiting the area.

My wife and I stopped in Richmond on the way home. We stumbled upon Grannys kitchen and boy what a gem. Tucked away in a quaint alleyway and serving the most delicious fruit scones and coffee/tea, all served by very pleasant staff in a beautiful old building. Well worth sounding out if you are in the area.

We had been at the Christmas Market and decided we needed a coffee and as our friends had their border terrier with them we needed a dog friendly cafe and this one fitted the bill, excellent hidden gem just off the market place, great service, fantastic staff, very nice coffee and a range of food from meals to desserts and cakes. Will definitely be visiting again, there is plenty of room upstairs, if you have your dog with you then you can only use downstairs.

The lunch menu is the best value for miles around and the cakes are superb. Disabled access is difficult because most of the seating is up the steep narrow stairs, but we were lucky: there is one table on the ground floor and it was available for us.

Cosy cafe over two floors with an interesting back story (local press, with machinery still upstairs). Baked produce very homely and substantial (no wafer thin sliced bread here) served with a smile and at a competitive price. Dog friendly on the ground floor only.

We visited for coffee and a snack and fell in love with the place straight away. Ended up going back after a look around the shops for lunch too. A lovely, friendly little place to capture some time out while munching on some yummy food. The old school cornflake tart was a wonderful blast from the past. We'll be going back when we are back in the area. Thanks guys, what a great place you have.

Took a chance on this place and were delighted. Small and intimate. Prompt service with delicious food also good prices. Not to be missed!

This little bakery and cafe has seating on the first floor, so may be difficult for those who can't climb stairs. Granny's Kitchen has a superb selection of pies and other bakes and is perfect spot for lunch after touring the nearby castle. Seating is limited and cozy, but perfectly comfortable. The staff were friendly and our food arrived quickly and was delicious.

Tucked away down a tiny passageway, Wendy has a gem of a place, all day breakfasts, belly warming menu, home cooked food, excellent prices, also lovely local sourced scones, pastries, jams, pork pies

Had a nice breakfast here. I seem to think a full English was £5.99.. anyway well cooked, friendly staff. if i lived in Richmond I would go again.

I was recommended this as a good place for coffee in the welcome pack at the cottage I was staying, and seeing the reference in a review to a beef filled Yorkshire pudding, I decided to try it for Sunday lunch.

you need to see the sign for this place but when you find it tucked away you will so enjoy what you order

As a treat my daughter bought us a takeaway Sunday lunch. It was beef stew in a giant Yorkshire pudding with mash and vegetables. Followed by Victoria sponge. It was absolutely gorgeous. Meals were packed in individual boxes in a tin foil covered little crate( which we will return) and were hot. The standard was excellent. I can’t comment on the price, as this was a treat from my daughter and family. We will definitely be back.

We fell across this little hidden gem, walking in Finkle Street, felt the urge for a cup of coffee.

Arrived in Richmond after cycling 2 hrs and ready for a hearty breakfast and we were not disappointed. The full english was excellent and great value for money. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Thanks guys.

Stopped here for lunch whilst visiting Richmond in Yorkshire. The cafe has not been open very long and we did have to wait a while to be served. After placing our order though the food was delivered very quickly. The quality of the food and the size of the serving was excellent. The tea was served in a decent sized pot with two mugs, so you get a decent cuppa. It was hot too. All the food is prepared on site and is worth waiting for. Had to buy a couple of slices of Bakewell on the way out. Would definitely visit again.

Lovely quirky place with a good menu and plenty of choices. Red pepper and tomato soup was amazing . Had a lovely toastie with it

Have followed the progress of Granny’s kitchen on Facebook but until today hadn’t had a chance to visit! Well, what have we been missing?!

Friendly welcome, warm and cosy and excellent products. The tea and coffee are served lovely and hot and the scones are fresh out of the oven. All the products are made on the premises of in the company's own bakery. The pork pies are apparently often specially made as wedding and other celebration "cakes".

I visit either the store or market stall for Grannies Kitchen whenever I can. Their home cooked pies, cake and bread are simply amazing. To add to that the owners are always so friendly and helpful it is always a pleasure.

Absolute hidden gem! If you haven’t already this place is definitely worth a visit! Cracking service followed with a friendly smile coupled with awesome brownies!! Proper fresh home cooked pies and puddings and a mountain of other gorgeous treats!

We went to Grannys kitchen today after a 6.5 mile walk around Richmond. We were greeted with a warm welcome, as always. We had a lovely light lunch in comfortable surroundings. Enjoying a chat with Wendy, the owner, about our walk.
