Hamiltons in Bradford

Excellent service and communication. My mother in law has dementia and the staff went out of their way to make her comfortable and allow her the food she requested. The manager also took special care of her and the rest of the family - good humoured and accommodating. The food was first class and the restaurant is gorgeous, thoroughly reccommend it.

Very nice location, ordered Breakfast for out family of 4 when it arrived it was cold like it had been stood for sometime. Eaten here before but has changed hands and nowhere as good unfortunately.

We booked a table for 6 people and two dogs for lunch. Booking was very easy and when we arrived our table was ready. The location is great, a short 3 mile walk from Ilkley. The menu catered for all tastes and service was courteous and orderly. The dogs even managed to get some treats 😊 Will definitely visit again and hope that the new owner (who was serving) finds great success as he appears to have many ideas to develop the restaurant

This was my first time visiting Hamiltons. We have to wait 10 mins for a table but were kept up to date throughout. Staff were very friendly and the food was excellent. The setting is worthy of 5 starts on its own.

Hamiltons used to be our favourite place to go for a breakfast at the weekend. Reliable service and great food for a very reasonable price. Since the owner/management has changed, this is no longer the case. They no longer accept bookings and numerous times we have arrived just to be turned away at the door, not because they are full, but because they have stopped serving food earlier than usual or as stated online. When we have managed to eat, the food was still very nice which is why it still deserves 2-stars. Most of the staff are lovely but the newer manager comes across blunt and rude which lets it down completely.

Disappointing breakfast. All of our parties poached eggs were way overcooked (solid yolks inside) and they didn’t offer to rectify when I pointed this out to the waitress soon after the breakfasts arrived. Also the toast was soggy with water from the eggs. When I payed I pointed this out again and although the staff member apologised they didn’t offer a discount, they did say they would tell the kitchen. On the whole I got the impression that they didn’t really seem to care which was annoying. Such a shame as we have been regular visitors in the past but I don’t think we will return.

Met up with a group of friends, trying out different coffee shops/restaurants nearby. Stunning location. Excellent service, food and drink good. Definitely worth a visit, if you can find it tucked away down a little side street

A great spot overlooking the river and weir. Delicious English breakfast and coffee, served by friendly, polite and helpful staff.

we had a lovely breakfast on the deck overlooking the river, the quality of the breakfast was first rate, all the ingredients were beautifully cooked and the service was warm and friendly. It was lovely to have dry plate, no grease, no water from the poached egg, highly recommend, booking essential though!!

A Fiasco! Thé lunches on offer are, by enlarge, packed with carbohydrates: I could barely see my chicken amongst the chips and pitta! Service is not particularly good, with staff rushing around, tables not properly cleaned… Lovely location, but I think we will sit by the river with a picnic next time!

Really enjoyed the food. Limited menu and some things sell out quick however never been disappointed with a meal. Would definitely recommend.

Very scenic place by the river with outside seating on a veranda.Light and airy inside.Not a massive choice on the brunch menu but adequate.Yorkshire breakfast was 5 star with a very tasty sausage.Black pudding slightly overcooked.Vegetarian breakfast could be improved with avocado added.£11 for meal not cheap but where is these days.Overall would recommend.

Special breakfast treat, we love Hamiltons any time of day. Breakfast was delicious served up in their very beautifully decorated restaurant/bistro. Our food was wonderful as were the cakes we finished with. Service always great, friendly staff, super helpful.

Came for breakfast. Lovely food and service and superb location. Very pretty with the river running by. This was a super start to a lovely day.

The restaurant closes at 4pm on Thursdays so we arrived at 2.55pm for a late lunch/early dinner after a long walk. We were seated outside which was lovely and given the food menu. We were left waiting to be served around 10/15mins which isn’t terrible however we were then advised by the server after waiting that time that they stop serving food at 3pm and that all orders need to be placed ahead of this time. I appreciate you need to have a time to stop taking orders ahead of your closing time however we weren’t advised this when we arrived and no one bothered to come check on us or take our order until after 3pm. If 2.55pm is too late for a 3pm last orders then the last orders should actually be 2.55pm and we should have at least been informed. Disappointing service and it has put us off wanting to visit Hamiltons again. We instead visited The Fleece and would really recommend this - food served 12pm - 9pm :)

We have been here a few times usually for breakfast but most recently for lunch. Its a very pleasant place set off, of course, by being so close to the river. The breakfasts are very good, just the right amount of food, well cooked and well served and good value. However for my lunch visit I chose a salad and I cannot deny that while it was a very nice salad there was not a great deal of it I gazed rather longingly at my companions pulled pork sandwich and thought, no mate you got that choice wrong. It was poor quantity wise and thus over priced. I will still go to Hamiltons in future but I think I might stay with the breakfasts

We went for our first evening meal here, and took our dog Oscar. Could not have had a more pleasant visit. The new manager Di, was extremely welcoming and understanding of our needs with our dog, dietary requirements. Friendly, helpful staff, and superb food in beautiful surroundings. Thank you.

Fantastic vegetarian breakfast and relaxed atmosphere. Lovely selection of items in the breakfast - including well cooked halloumi, sauteed potatoes and spinach. Good coffee too. Staff welcoming, friendly and attentive.

What an amazing find. Hidden away by the river on the outskirts of the lovely village of Addingham is this beautifully designed eatery. We've visited for breakfast and lunch and never been disappointed. As well as first class food, we have always found the staff to be excellent too.

Menu reads well but turkey sandwich pretty disappointing! But worse thing was we were told 3 times we only had so long to vacate the table eve. To the point of asking us to pay immediately For this reason unlikely to return

Absolutely gorgeous lunch - friendly, helpful staff and fantastic tasting food we both opted for the fishcake with poached egg perfectly cooked and really tasty the best I’ve had.

Beautiful setting,beautiful restaurant, beautiful food , a great find , staff were friendly and attentive couldn’t fault it .

Excellent service, very quick from ordering, sat outside with the most amazing view, worth coming just for the view.. eggs benny and eggs royals

Lovely fresh food with a great view by the river. They do the best veggi breakfast i have ever had. I have had a few meals here and the food is good every time.

Excellent lunch in warm and comfortable surroundings. Friendly efficient staff, good menu, most welcoming.

Worth the visit lovely location great surroundings and great food and coffee. Staff very nice best breakfast we have eaten in a very long time. Eggs were delicious free range heard many good reports on the evening but couldn’t Try it this time will next

Lovely spot by the river, had breakfast and it was fabulous, lovely to sit out . The staff were very accomodating and friendly will definitely return. Thank you.

The chef is a genius! We are so spoilt to have Hamiltons on our doorstep as we holiday in Olicana Park. Mouthwatering food - had both dinner and breakfast. Pork belly, stuffed chicken and dauphinois potatoes was faultless. Yorkshire breakfast and smashed avocado with perfectly...

Bank holiday Sunday morning - the sun is shining, blue skies, and perfect quiet location in view of the weir. Add a delicious full English breakfast oozing quality plus teas and coffees for four adults, all for £50 and it doesn't get much better than...

Fabulous place - lovely evening meal - Sea Bass and then lunch the next day. Superb salad with a huge G and T ! - fabulous welcoming staff, friendly and clean - highly recommended

Tonight was the first evening when Hamiltons opened. We were certainly not disappointed. The staff as usual were brilliant and the food was especially delicious. We opted for the shared chorizo as a starter to be followed by the belly pork. Absolutely lovely. Wish they...

We were told of this fabulous place by a friend and it came highly recommended. We were not disappointed! What a beautiful place and setting by the River Wharfe. The location is stunning , not enough superlatives to describe it! We booked( you need to!)...

I had the vegetarian English breakfast. It was delicious with the poached egg cooked perfectly and the buttered spinach was particularly tasty. It was not that big, so probably not for someone who likes a huge English breakfast, but just right for me. A lovely...

Beautiful setting but limited choice and expensive for the food served. The prawn salad consisted of three very average prawns

We were on holiday in Addingham and this is literally the perfect place to eat breakfast! We could walk there first thing and it was sunny and beautiful. The food and coffee is perfect. I only have amazing things to say! Loved it. I pre...

When we visited this bistro in April, it was not open for evening meals, so we went for lunch instead. It overlooks the River Wharfe, so the outside tables will be to die for in the summer months. There was a friendly greeting on our...

Always welcoming, on sunny or rainy days after a good walk with my dog and friends ! The food is delicious , breakfast , brunch or lunch!

Wonderful scenic setting - and good to match. A very hidden gem on our door step. Walked here and had rather muddy boots which seemed to be no problem and even dog friendly, A surprise for such a stylish cafe bar . I had goats...

A wonderful relaxing place with fabulous views and great food. Attentive staff who are accommodating and professional. A real gem

I cannot believe I didn’t know about this Café/Bistro before today! It really is truly a little hidden gem. It is located just off High Mill Lane in Addingham and sits within a caravan park. The Café/Bistro itself is located inside a very smartly executed,...

Disappointed with both the food and the Covid measures. The Brie and red onion sandwich consisted of a bought in (soft) ‘ciabatta’ roll with a tiny slice of cheese and heap of onion chutney out of a jar. Very likely microwaved as it was warm...

Discovered this lovely place today after walk in Addingham. Just went in for coffee but after browsing the menu will definitely be back as what we saw being served looked delicious and the presentation looked superb. As for our coffee which was very good we...

A really lovely place to eat with great views. Food good but very limited menu for lunch [ had been for breakfast a few weeks earlier and found the the choice to be better] more choice for Veggies would be good

A beautiful venue, clean and simply lovely. Gorgeous views of the river and superb food, service with a smile from attentive staff. Fabulous place

Do not often write reviews but after our visit today felt I wanted to congratulate the staff.A group of friends whom had walked from Ilkley to have coffee at Hamilton’s ended up staying for lunch and leaving several hours later.The location is amazing and as...

Absolutely delicious brunch, on the Dalesway overlooking the river 👌 Great service, delicious food and fantastic location.

Such an idyllic spot in which to enjoy a relaxed and excellent meal once more. The food was excellent and the staff did their best to make one feel safe with regard to taking great care to protect their customers from the risk of the...

The restaurant was packed when we arrived and we stood amongst the hopefuls for a table. We were warmly greeted and a table for two became thankfully available. We chose a flat white (one of the best I've had) and both of us chose crushed...

Went out for my birthday with my husband and my 12 year old son and Hamilton's ticked every box for us: Location, decor, waiting staff, relaxed, friendly atmosphere, food, timing and pace of meal, music playing. We had a simple pizzas and pudding affair but it all tasted amazing and was beautifully presented and service was really friendly.I'm finding it harder to go out for food and not be disappointed with something but Hamilton's was faultless. We were out as a family but it would have been equally perfect for a cosy night out as a couple of in a larger group of friends. Just love it!

Went for brunch looking out over the river. Very chilled and the food was excellent, just had the full breakfast but is was all quality produce, cooked perfectly and served very efficiently by some really friendly staff members. Highly recommend

We stayed in one of the lodges and were given 2 free coffee tokens for Hamilton’s. We thought why not cash them in. Coffee was fantastic but the service superb. Thanks to Jack who made us feel really welcome so we thought why not give something back. We asked for a menu and Jack also said that they did a Sunday dinner, the gravy he said was awesome. As the weather was so bad he even offered to bring it to the cabin but we felt we wanted to eat at the Bistro. I had the chicken and husband had the beef. It was one of the best dinners we’ve had, and Jack certainly was right about the gravy! Big thumbs up to the chef , the waiting on staff ( in particular Jack). Highly recommend this place, a superb setting and the title of the review reflects the rest.Cheers guys! Denise & Mark Bradley

After a great family walk along the Dales Way we came back for a well deserved coffee. We were immediately welcomed and shown to a table for six of us out on the balcony with blankets to cuddle under if we felt cold. There was plenty of water for our dog and there were plenty of other dogs all enjoying a rest on the balcony too! The only slight mar to our visit was the waitress had forgotten my husband’s coffee and he had to sit there watching us all enjoy ours for at least 10 minutes until his coffee finally appeared (after we had reminded the staff they had forgotten it).

First visit for breakfast on Saturday. Excellent food and service. Looking forward to many more visits. Be perfect in summer.

Had to call and try the new menu with Sunday Lunch. Wow!!!! What a meal. The beef was absolutely brilliant, the veg superb and the Yorkshire pudding was a meal in itself. Very highly recommended

We visited here on a whim, on my wife's birthday. Beautifully presented in a perfect setting next to the River Wharfe, it boasts a relatively small menu (obeying Ramsay's First Law!) which is well suited to feeding walkers, cyclists or people staying in the various holiday accommodations on site. Good quality, realistically priced food & delightful staff.

After a good walk along the river Wharfe from Ilkley, Hamiltons was the ideal spot for 10 of us for our Christmas lunch. We had a good time. The friendly staff were very helpful in setting up a table so we could all sit together, and we an excellent lunch in the perfect setting by the river. Some special diet requirements were efficiently catered for, and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The menu is varied and the food is tasty, high quality and well presented.Definitely recommended.

Great location for a coffee stopping point. Accepts dogs and the food is incredible. Please do stop by!

A small bistro style restaurant which serves breakfasts and lunches. It has beautiful views over the river. I went with my wife, daughter and grandchildren one Friday lunchtime. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The food we ordered was delicious and very soon our plates were empty. We will definitely be going again.

What a lovely location. A short walk from Ilkley and a warm and very friendly welcome. Great breakfast menu - something for everyone. Food was ace. One slight complaint that both the poached and fried eggs were overdone. We didn’t send them back but please Hamilton’s take note of this. A small hiccup in an otherwise perfect occasion

As we came towards the end of a muddy Sunday afternoon dog walk, we came across Hamiltons. What a wonderful surprise! Beautiful location, sitting outside, overlooking the river and Beamsley Beacon and delicious coffee and cake! Will look forward to another visit to try some of the hot food on offer!

Just been to Hamilton’s to try out their new Sunday roast menu and have to say that was the best roast I have ever had! (Sorry mother!) will definitely be going back for more!....... great location, great atmosphere, great staff, great food! Perfect!

Realy nice and a bit different food. Seating outside with a heater. Best mocha I've had in ages. No "dedicated " kids menu, but don't let that put you off as ours had a margarita pizza and jacket potato. Spud was a little too crispy, but it was mid afternoon. The risotto thingy two of us had was spot on. It all looked and tasted freshly made. The gondola/ cable car seating looked fun. We will be going back

Went for a walk down by the river and stumbled upon this place, what a find. We had brunch the food was delicious, the setting is idyllic and the cafe is gorgeous. I can thoroughly recommend.

Lovely staff, great view, top food. What a great addition to the village! A very enjoyable breakfast!

Very belatedly I write this review following an excellent Sunday brunch in July. I was tempted not to write a review so less people became aware of this tucked away gem but good food, great service and lovely location means I have to fess up and give it the credit it deserves.

Was invited by my friend Adam Boldy-Wilkinson and had a great meal at Hamilton’s. Brought my baby who also enjoyed himself.a fun time. Food was delicious will definitely go again. eeverything was fine

My friend and i had coffee and shared a good size piece of raspberry and blackberry cake which was delicious. This place is such an asset to Addingham and i recommend them to all my friends.

The service matches the food, Fantastic. Happy times at Hamilton’s. Pooch friendly calm environment. Staff have a good sense of humour.

My friend chose to meet here for our regular catch up as she has been with family previously and highly rated it. I have lived in the area all my life and didnt know it existed.

Have been a few times with friends and family. The food and coffee are lovely, quite pricey however we are willing to spend when the quality is good and the setting is so beautiful. Today’s visit however has put me off going again due to the shocking manner of one of the waitresses, which I see has been mentioned before in one of the other reviews. Her tone and surly attitude absolutely stink and in all honesty it put a dampener on my lunch date with my friend. Hopefully others who visit will be served by one of the much more pleasant staff members, who were very professional and polite!

What a fabulous restaurant. Great food, wonderful service and outstanding setting. First time there for my husband and friends- everyone loved it.

The whole place exudes quality: beautifully built and decorated, terrific location and overall great food. Simple variety of open type sandwiches, nicely presented and tasty. The pizza was excellent. Good size portions. Should also mention the friendly staff, very attentive and pleasant.

Hamiltons is just the most beautiful setting looking over the River Wharfe. The cabin is newly built to a beautiful standard. The family are so so lovely making you welcome every single time, nothing is too much trouble. From coffee and cake to a dinner the standard of food is exceptional.

I was introduced to Hamilton's by my daughter who took me and my husband there for breakfast following a bracing dog walk along the river. Needless to say we've been back several times to enjoy the food and in particular the setting. We've now introduced it to other family members who have also made it their favourite. The food is very good, if a little on the expensive side. The service is also very good but when busy you do need patience. The setting is amazing and if you do manage to go during a quiet spell it can be very peaceful to just sit, have a coffee and a piece of amazing cake. I would definitely recommend this gem of a restaurant.

We have become regulars at Hamilton’s. It’s always busy, with a great atmosphere, the friendly and professional staff can’t do enough for you. Food is excellent. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing a trick! You can park on Bark Lane and walk approx 5 mins along the riverside, if their car park is full. Very enjoyable experience.

First time here Walked along the river to find this gem! Setting is idyllic, at the side of the Wharf river. Lunch was wonderful The Manager is such a lovely young man We will go again....a lot!

Lovely greeting, service was excellent, as was the food & view! We sat outside as we had 3 dogs but we were welcome to sit inside too. The view of the river was too nice to miss! The portion sizes were very generous, good quality & piping hot. The coffee is also very good. Photos attached of all, definitely one to return too on a sunnier day!

Despite living in the area we did not know of this venue until told by a friend. It is, to strangers to the area, a litle off the beaten track. But what a find. Riverside setting, outside seating to enjoy it, weather permitting of course. Good food and service. A wonderful experience.

Had a great lunch here with family, sat in the sun by the river. Service was quick and friendly and the food was amazing, loved the brie sandwich!

Wow, fancy a breakfast in a log cabin asked my friend...I gave it a try. You couldn’t have asked for much more. Very attentive service, great food, dog and family friendly, despite being busy, it wasn’t too busy and the food came very quickly! Fantastic setting at the side of the Wharfe, clean, efficient, really excellent.

I was here for a birthday lunch with family. The food was delicious, the service excellent and the location simply perfect. I could not have asked for more.

Visited for morning coffee, it’s in a beautiful location by the river and it’s extremely well presented with plenty of helpful friendly staff. We had coffee scones and cake which were lovely, we had a look through the menu and decided we would definitely be returning for lunch sometime soon, hopefully the weather will be nice so we can sit outside. I would definitely recommend a visit here, it’s a real hidden gem!

Was only told about this place a week ago, nipped to buy a voucher and came back the next day to celebrate Father’s day with the family. Fabulous location, great friendly welcome and service, we all had the full English breakfast, couldn’t fault it, didn’t feel rushed, it was a lovely relaxing atmosphere. We will definitely return sometime for lunch.

Went on busy fathers day Sunday morning, greeted by attentive front out house staff who managed to seat us. Service and food excellent and all in superb setting. Nothing could be faulted. The owners have clearly thought of everything here. Throughly reccomend Hamilton's.

A beautiful setting and nice crispy bacon in my sandwich but the service was very slow and even slower when I wanted a second coffee. The cafe is expensive so they can afford to employ more staff

Visited here with a friend for coffee, tucked away in a. Corner of Addingham. Service was very good and helpful. Had a look at menu whilst there and there seemed to be a good choice of breakfast/lunch dishes.

After a riverside walk from Ilkley, we thoroughly enjoyed Hamilton's. Great food, great atmosphere, stunning location and wonderful service, despite being very busy, polite, professional and friendly. We'll definately be back, thank you.

Loved it here. Gorgeous scenery. Cafe was beautiful inside and out. Lovely beams. Was very reasonably priced and the service was outstanding from everyone. Love the fact that the cafe welcomes dogs inside and out. I will be back. Thank you

Stunning location. Lovely place to take family and friends that are visiting. Fab food, our dogs are welcome inside, and out on the lovely decking. Friendly staff and ten out of ten to the young man front of house he is so friendly and helpful. Just one suggestion now need to do a Chardonnay by the glass

My Husband and my brother and my sister (up from London) all went last Friday for lunch. Unfortunately the weather wast the best still the view and position were fab. There is excellent heating outside too. The staff were extremely friendly and atmosphere very relaxing. I had a pizza that even my Italian husband said was good! The salads were nice and there is a mixture of food. My sister enjoyed her Americana and we could even get a glass of wine! Not too missed. A 5 minute walk and I cant wait to sip a glass of wine on a sunny afternoon.

Great place, fabulous location.

Newly opened Cafe on the Dales Way overlooking the river Wharfe. Food is very good and well presented along with good service. Hoping to be a regular visitor.

We called in while passing by as we walked The Dalesway. The greeting was very friendly and our order was taken efficiently. The homemade cakes and scones were delicious. We'll definitely call in the next time we're walking by

There is no doubt that this restaurant is in a stunning location overloking the river in Addingham. It has been furnished to a very high standard and the ambiance is great

I absolutely love Hamiltons, stunning location next to the Wharfe. Been quite a few times and it’s always great. Polite staff always happy to please. Highly recommend it.

I'm local what a truly nice place to go to good food good service really friendly I've had the burger which is really good home made soup with the nicest bread I've had baked potato which was large and good texture with tuna mayo with three different salads scone with clotted cream and sponge toffee cake all first class well worth a visit. They have car park

Fab venue, near the river, the food is well cooked and presented. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Another plus is dogs are allowed in. We will definitely return and we are looking forward to sitting outside and taking in the beautiful scenery.

Oh by the way.... It's excellent! Location - excellent Facility - excellent Food & drinks - excellent Dog friendly too - excellent!
