Kim's Cafe & Bistro in Richmondshire

Our first trip to Leyburn ruined by this cafe experience. Went with my you family. You need a pin to go the dingy toilet, there are signs everywhere telling you not to do something, it says it’s dog friendly but it definitely is not children friendly, the menu is overpriced, the staff are rude, it is called a cafe and does not act as a cafe, the old male waiter needs to be let go as he makes unkind comments that make you feel uncomfortable. I only stayed as we were very hungry, but really should’ve walked out and got a meal deal from the co-op. I will not be returning and urge all to not bother in the first place. I am surprised that it is even open.

Came to eat here today. Positives: The food was nice. The gentleman who was front of house was efficient and friendly. Negatives: Unfortunately when the female chef came down to give us our drinks she abruptly scalded at my daughter who is 7 and said “Don’t put your feet on the chair it’s material” My daughter was sat properly with her feet on the floor, it was a totally uncalled for comment. I was speechless at her abruptness and judging of my daughter. My daughter felt embarrassed at been judged and spoken to horribly and cried. Throughout our stay at Leyburn my daughter has had so many compliments on her manners and behaviour at other establishments. She has been raised to be respectful and have good table manners. This incident was totally uncalled for. The laughable part of it the chairs she was very precious over were filthy, the cafe on a whole is very dated. She also messed up our drinks order and left one person without a meal, again she was adamant we hadn’t ordered this until the gentleman serving told her we had and she’d missed it off. No apologies from her about this. Unfortunately running a cafe requires you to serve families, families have children. Maybe you’re in the wrong business. It would be respected if you were honourable enough to respond with an apology to my daughter.

Absolutely Delicious Food! Nice place but a tad cool - the host is somewhat quirky and there may be a wait - but so worth it. Delicious home made food. Yum yum for your tum.

Food was gorgeous. Very busy so took a while to come but both meals were really lovely. Would definitely eat here again. I had the chilli con jacket potato and my wife had Cumberland sausages and mash.

Freezing cold, no heating on. Freezing cold reception from owner. Painfully slow service. We left without ordering. What a dump. The owner needs to go to charm school. He's rude and miserable. Avoid at all costs.
