Little House in Craven - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Short but interesting menu, great cooking, not cheap but worth it.

Excellent restaurant - Quality English food with theme nights - All round great dining and service experience

Delightful! We have wanted to dine at the Little House Restaurant for a long time but unfortunately our previous visits to the area have been mid week when they are closed. This time we travelled later so managed to get a table on the Saturday night. It was definitely worth waiting for! Upon entering we were warmly greeted, seated, given water & menus by Andrew, the owner who straight away makes you feel like an old friend. Situated in a lovely building with only a small number of covers, it exudes a wery nice, friendly, comfortable atmopshere with some nice, low key jazz playing quietly in the background. Drinks order taken whilst we perused the menu. Charcuterie platter of cured meats & parmesan & garlic King Prawns 'piri-piri' chosen to start followed by baked fillet of silver hake with lentil & vegetable cassoulet & pan fried fillet of Ribble Valley beef with a cracked black pepper, cognac & cream sauce along with a very nice bottle of red wine. A wonderful dessert named Yorkshire Mess consisting of rhubarb, meringue & all the associated creamy bits was shared as was a glass of delightful dessert wine. The timings between courses were perfect. The chef came out & we had a lovey chat with her during which we discovered a slight connection to our home town of Beverley. All in all, an extremely enjoyable, unrushed evening with great friendly service, a relaxed atmosphere & most of all, delicious food! We noticed that a lot of the diners appeared to be regulars with several making bookings for future dates which is alays a good sign of a decent restaurant. Highly recommended.* *We travel to Greece quite a lot & noticed that on the first weekend of the month, The Little House present a menu influenced by different countries. The next one is a Greek evening & even though we live a couple of hours away, we have booked a table for this as the menu looked very inviting!

Certainly lives up to its name. With covid restrictions only has room for 12, so need you to make sure to book in advance. But if you are fortunate enough to get a seat you are in for a treat. With so few customers you can be sure of first class service and the food is delicious. The menu is a little limited but everything is prepared to the highest standards. They also do monthly specials, featuring food from a particular country. Not to be missed!!

Went to Portuguese evening. Food and service top notch. Great evening out.

Certainly a must if in the area; certainly little in size but big on quality of food and service - will be back next time in the area. Booking a must btw.

We have often seen this restaurant on our occasional visits to Settle. We made the effort and booked and so glad we did. Beautiful simply cooked food with no pretentious style or ingredients just tasty dishes that I would say is bistro style. We both had sardines to start that were cooked beautifully with lemon and olive oil followed by lamb that was cooked to perfection with gorgeous sauce and the tiny roasties were perfect. Pancakes with blueberries etc for me and a gorgeous looking rhubarb mess for him that finished a lovely meal. We will be back.

The perfect place for quality food and service with a quiet atmosphere. Have visited several times and always love our visits.

Great little restaurant. Limited covers so lucky to get in but so glad we did. Great food made with quality local ingredients. Fantastic friendly service will definitely return if the opportunity presents itself. Best meal out of our trip. Highly recommend.

We were lucky enough to be holidaying locally which coincided with one of this lovely restaurant’s themed weekends featuring a Great British Harvest. All the dishes were well thought out and beautifully presented, you could almost taste the love involved in their creation. A beautiful little place with attentive hosts, so glad we found it. If ever we’re in this corner of Yorkshire again we’ll be sure to visit!

A Little gem.Great food and service. Till the next visit...thankyou.

Fantastic food and service 👍🏻 our regular place for a special meal. We are so lucky to have this little gem on our doorstep. Thank you guys ⭐👍🏻

Wow just wow. Fantastic food very cosy and some nice wines on offer. Service was impeccable I usually don't eat puddings but because the starter and main were so good i had to indulge myself in a pudding and i wasn't disappointed. You need to book and they only open limited hours and friday and Saturdays You will be hard pressed to find anywhere as good as this locally

I think we must of visited on a bad day. The food was average not the best I've tasted. Presentation, well enough said about that. Service by grumpy old man.and poor atmosphere lacked service skills. Very much over priced. We were served 5 prawns costing £9 your having a laugh I definitely would not go again or recommend this place to anyone.

Modern and bright restaurant serving delicious well prepared and presented food. Menu is limited, but sumptuous, and roughly once a month they hold special evenings showcasing the food of a particular region or country. Portion size, like the restaurant itself, is fairly small.Limited, pricey, but well chosen wine list. However, our wine was simply placed on the table; no tasting offered, which I would have expected at this price point.Friendly service from the owner whilst his wife is the chef.Unfortunately, even with just one bottle of wine between two you’ll easily spend £100 per couple. Great for a special evening out, but better value exists elsewhere in town. You pays your money and takes your choice.

We had a lovely anniversary dinner in a pleasant and cosy atmosphere having just re-opened after the Covid19 lockdown. Food was superb with a variety of fish, meat and veggie options. All presented super well and cooked to perfection. Staff super friendly snd very accommodating. Definately reccomend if you are ever in Settle!!

Little House is Delicious. Setting is delightful. Music a bit rubbish - Katie Melua- but we both really enjoyed it

Excellent food. However my steak was overdone. It was replaced and coffee and pudding provided on the house so they make up for their mistake. I would certainly return if in the area

We were recommended to Little House by the B&B we were staying at in Settle. We were so glad they did it’s excellent.The quality of the food, the atmosphere and the service were excellent.We had risotto and soup for starters and then steak and seabass for mains, we would highly recommend all of these.My wife is gluten free and the choices were fantastic.

Anniversary celebrations.... first visit to Settle to celebrate our anniversary and we chose Little House restaurant after reading TA reviews. We weren’t disappointed the food and service was exceptional and we would highly recommend.

We stayed in Settle for a few days and dined here one evening.Our Little House host was unfailingly friendly and helpful. Neither the menu or the wine list are very lengthy, but we had no trouble finding dishes (or glasses!) that tickled our fancy.Everything was delicious and the service was prompt without feeling at all rushed.We left feeling comfortably full and very pleased that (aided by TripAdvisor reviews) we had found such a great little place to eat.

WE had dinner at The Little House on Thursday evening what a great little place the service and the food wher first class we will be back

We went here for my wife's 60th birthday as I wanted something special for the occasion we were not disappointed.Firstly the atmosphere and ambience of the restaurant is so peaceful and relaxing exactly what we were looking for.The meal was absolutely superb,I had the olives fresh parmesan n sourdough bread jen had the potato and greens soup both of which were excellent.Jen had the chicken with black pudding and chilli which came with a cream sauce sprouting broccoli carrots and roasted potatoes.I had the roasted halibut with butter sauce crushed new potatoes mange tout and a medley of peas and baby bread beans.I had to have a dessert of pan fried bananas with toffee sauce and Devon ice cream.Finished with liquor coffees On top of this was 2 double gin and tonics and two glasses of wine. The service was superb.All in all beautiful meal served by wonderful staff in a lovely homely settingAll of this was only £97.Worth every single penny.Thank you for a lovely dining experience.See you on Christmas dayJohn and JennyThe staff should be very proud of this place as I think it is one of the most lovely places I have ever eaten. Oh yeah the price for all of this excellence only £97

A real couples restaurant. Nice decour, small menu and specials that are tasty and well cooked. Monthly Gin always a treat and nice wine list. Local produce where possible. Recommended for the special quiet night out.

Fine Dining in the Yorkshire DalesWe’ve been eating at Little House for close to seventeen years. Not every week, not even every month but often enough and long enough to be recognised on the phone when we call to book a table (a recognisably Scottish accent may help, of course)During this time we have never had a bad meal: but you could say the same of Pizza Express.More to the point is that every meal we’ve eaten at Little House over all these years has been special: subtle, beautifully cooked and presented. (As it was indeed last night). Cool style: a big Hopper print is echoed in the restaurants own mirrors which open up limited space (the name gives it away). Small but not crowded: even full, there are not people sitting in your lap and each table (beautiful plain oak) is large enough to spread out.Interesting to read the (tiny) handful of negative reviews. This is not a “celebrity” chef exercising their ego on innocent food to for something that looks a cross between Picasso and Jackson Pollock. Rather you have excellent ingredients perfectly cooked, beautifully presented. A well chosen list of drinkable wines. Cool jazz in the background, affable service from the proprietor. Bookings are staggered over the course of an evening so there’s personal attention for each diner.You can eat more cheaply in Settle (several pubs, curry houses, pizza place, couple of good chip shops, a friendly Chinese takeaway) but for occasion and delight you’d travel far to find anything like Little House.The website is worth a visit, but the reviews say it all. We’ll be back.

This little restaurant is so good we are going back again tomorrow evening. Starters just right with lots of interesting flavours. My beef was great with some good fresh vegetables. My wife had sea bass with Chinese spices which she said was the best flavour combination she has ever had. Puddings were just as tasty, my ginger cheese cake was incredible. This place deserves to be full every evening.

This restaurant is so good we returned to it within our week in Settle. Friendly service and excellent food with the food cooked perfectly, and a small but excellent wine list. Anyone visiting the area should book!

Small, friendly with excellent, beautifully prepared, cooked and presented food and good wine list. It was so good we went again the next night and weren't disappointed; in fact we wish it was our local so we could visit every week. It really is a gem of a place. For the quality of the food it was worth every penny. We will be back!

Lovely little restaurant. Great service and food. No fuss.

We had a delicious meal here. Delicious wine and friendly and professional service. Top.

Really friendly. Food brilliant.

Booked here for Saturday evening only one table left at 6.30. So glad we took it. The food was really good. Hot grapefruit with coconut and chilli king prawns for starters. Luxury fish pie and lamb for mains. Only one dessert bread and butter pudding. Everything was delicious. Go on treat yourself. Well worth it. Everything cooked to perfection. Don’t mind paying if what you get is worth it. Will most definitely be back.

We were staying for three nights in Settle and decided to give the Little House a try. As it was to be a Saturday night, we made a reservation the previous day for the Saturday and duly turned up at the appointed time. We were shown to our table and quickly provided with menus and information about the specials.

Lovely evening as always, great food, great service and great atmosphere.

We have been meaning to visit for some years on our annual jaunts to Settle but somehow never got around to doing so until now. We weren't disappointed! Good,friendly service, excellent food and charming surroundings. Recommended.

Visited this restaurant when on holiday in Settle. Excellent food and great service. Started with a ‘gin of the month’ with lovely wines to follow.

Yet another good quality meal at this lovely restaurant. Always friendly and always delicious, the best in Settle.

Whilst staying near Settle we decided to celebrate our anniversary with a "special" meal and after a bit of research chose the Little House. Turned out to be a good choice as it is a cosy intimate little restaurant ( as the name suggests !) serving excellent food . It is small enough to be intimate but has enough tables to create a nice ambience for dining. The menu was varied and the service was excellent ,attentive but unobtrusive . made for a "special " meal/ night for us .

This restaurant is a hidden gem as the saying goes - excellent food, menu choice, daily specials, wine list and service. Went there our first night and booked again for our last night with all the (adult) family and everyone thoroughly loved it all.

A lovely experience from arriving to leaving Food delicious atmosphere crisp, service good and warm, love to go back for more

superb food, great inexpensive wine list. could not recommend enough. we chose to eat there twice during our 4 days in settle - which is testament to what a great place Little House is.

Aost the perfect dining experience. Good food and even better service.

We have visited this restaurant every year since our discovery about 5/6 years ago and it is always quite superb.

We enjoyed a lovely meal here on Saturday evening. Nice wine selection. Menu was small and selective and the food was delicious. The chap was very friendly and attentive. If you’re looking for something a bit more special then a pub for your meal as a treat this is the place in Settle.

This is a great little place in Settle. Only open a couple of nights in winter but worth a visit. The food was excellent, good selection of meat & fish dishes & staff friendly. Would be back next time we visit Settle

High quality fresh food served in relaxed surroundings. Portions just right to enjoy a 2 or even 3 course dinner. Ample wine list and a decent choice of bottled beers. Great place to escape for a few hours.

We ate here when we were last in Settle and liked it so much we immediately booked for the next evening too. We shall eat here again in a fortnight's time. There is no finer compliment than a return visit.

Well cooked and presented food. Good value. Do a limited number of dishes well.

I chose this restaurant in a hurry, after a quick internet search. Their web site was nicely designed and the photos looked good. I've eaten some really bad food in the area, so confidence was not very high.

The standard and quality of British food goes up and up each year. There has been such a remarkable improvement from the terrible food of the sixties and seventies to the food of today and most restaurateurs recognise that good food on its own isn't enough - equally important is atmosphere and decor. Price is a sensitive issue. Produce excellent food and the customers won't begrudge a high price but an average meal deserves only an average price.

Cracking cauliflower soup, super sea bream and plaice, wonderful Wensleydale, fruit cake and biscuits, marvellous Malbec, superb, friendly service. Do yourselves a favour and book a table 😄

Wow! What a hidden gem, fantastic food from starter to dessert, very intimate with a good host, would highly recommend this place.👍👍

En términos de la calidad de la comida, este es el mejor restaurante en liquidar. He estado muchas veces y siempre muy satisfecho.

Wow, yet again a great meal and service was excellent, these people know their food, true understanding of taste and choices....

Tuvimos una comida agradable en la pequeña casa. Teníamos entradas de caballa y cebolla roja y tarta de queso de cabra, que era excelente y luego pollo cocinado en la junta con blue stilton especiales y pollo con salsa de chili en morcilla, tanto acompañado wwith una buena variedad de verduras. Terminamos con pan y amarga y crema pudding 2 cucharas! Una excelente comida con atento pero no sobre-servicio de superar y un ambiente cálido y agradable. Bien merece una visita.

Realmente no puedo decir nada malo de este lugar. . . y es bastante raro hoy en día. La comida, el vino, el servicio y el ambiente era excelente relación calidad-precio.

Realmente disfrutamos de un sábado por la noche visite aquí para celebrar el cumpleaños de un amigo. Estábamos en un grupo de seis personas y disfrutamos de una excelente comida y vino.

Estábamos buscando un lugar especial para celebrar nuestro 47 aniversario de boda. Hemos visitado la pequeña casa en varias ocasiones en estancias previas en asentarse y sabíamos que íbamos a ser atendidos con una bienvenida muy cálida por los propietarios, seguido por un servicio de...

Unos amigos que viven cerca son clientes habituales aquí y hemos oído ellos decir lo maravilloso que es este lugar durante un largo tiempo, así que era estupenda para ir con ellos para la Cena del sábado. No había sido exagerar - fue la mejor comida que he tenido en mucho tiempo. Andrew era acogedor y atento y había un buen ambiente en el restaurante toda la noche. Las espinacas gambas para entradas eran deliciosos, mi marido tenía sardinas que disfrutamos muchísimo. Besugo con un risotto de chorizo muy sabroso, como el cordero, el cual era preparado bien Pink y el horneado ginger cheesecake con miel de bosque era para morirse! No me puedo quejar de nada y fuimos muy satisfechos y esperamos poder volver otra vez, vivimos más cerca!

We eat here on a fairly regular basis because of its wonderful 'taste experience' and ambience. It is a small restaurant and offers fine dining at its very best with dishes cooked to perfection and presented beautifully. Locals, tourists, couples and groups all dine here and I've only ever known people leave in a very highly satisfied state. If you have a special occasion or even if you just want to be sure of an excellent meal then I recommend this lovely, first class restaurant.

We have eaten here dozens of times over the years and it is consistently superb in every way. Top class menu that changes every month. Every couple of months or so the two owners have a speciality evening depending upon where they have been for their holidays

Husband found on Internet before our holiday and booked to celebrate my birthday. Small dining room but did not feel on top of other diners. Host friendly & courteous. Ordered drinks - wide selection with gin of the month. Good wine selection. All enjoyed our meals - 3 courses. Portion sizes good and food all freshly cooked and delicious. Thank you

Visiting Settle for a concert we were looking for a restaurant serving in good time before it started. We were made very welcome even after I had telephoned that I couldn't find it though it was just at the end of the road ! Whilst not an extensive menu (though that is more relief than a criticism) it was all delightful. Well prepared and delicious. The owner was more than content to swop items on the menu. Nothing was to much trouble. Ensuring that we were finished in good time we left with every intention of returning soon with a little more time to enjoy the visit

This is a small restaurant that serves a nice menu, nice wine and has reasonably attentive serviceIt's not cheap but we felt it was worth the money (just) and the cost is the only thing brining in it down from 5 stars

we found this Little place just by chance and ate here two nights in a row. The food was very good and had a good choice of wine. It is a small friendly restaurant which means you don't have to shout over other people to have a conversation. The service was excellent and the owners are very friendly, a lovely couple. we would eat here again if we are in the area.

We really enjoyed our meal at The Little House. Andrew at Front of House really looked after our needs throughout the evening. Our meal was well prepared and presented.Food and drink were both excellent value.We would definitely recommend it.

Called at the 'Little House' on Saturday evening for Dinner as we were attending a concert at 'The Victoria Hall.' We found it by searching on Trip Advisor and have to say it was Brilliant!A little difficult to find, the doorway if off the main street in a small ginnel, but it really is a perfect 'little' place.The menu is varied and contains some very tempting combinations. All the food is freshly prepared whilst you wait so that if you want to alter the ingredients the chef is very accommodating and can usually oblige.The spinach soup was a triumph and was a perfect entrée for what was to come. As for the main courses, the chicken with crispy black pudding was melt-in-the-mouth and the sea bass was exquisite.The puddings included Parkin-not something you see everyday on a menu, chocolate brownie (just perfect) and the Richard III Wensleydale cheese, grapes, crackers and fruitcake was super but there were many more to choose from.There was a good wine list and the owner had a good knowledge in order to make appropriate recommendations. This really is a brilliant restaurant. Great service, great food and lovely surroundings.Can't recommend it enough!

We enjoyed our three-course dinner very much and would recommend The Little House to anyone. My steak well-cooked (as I like it, which can be an issue) and the bread and butter pudding all but floated off the plate.

We visited on Easter Saturday arriving at 7.30pm, having pre-booked (which is recommended as it is a popular place). We opted for the Caesar salad with prosciutto and seafood pancake for starters. Both were well-presented, nicely prepared and a reasonable size. The pancake contained plenty of seafood and the salad was a good balance of flavours. We followed this with tuna steak and king prawns saganaki for our mains; both of which were perfectly cooked and very appetising. Again, portions were a reasonable size and excellent quality. Unusually for us, we chose to have a pudding (which we shared) and opted for the amaretto bread and butter pudding. The portion size was perfect for us to share - one each would have been too much. Service was very good and we would strongly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

We adore this restaurant and have returned again and again. The proprietors are friendly and professional with just the right balance. Menu has improved if anything over the years; great quality produce is at the core. Excellent wine list also; worth following the recommendations. Tuna steak (perfectly cooked) and delicious lambs' livers were delicious. The bread and butter pudding is a must-have!

More extensive menu than expected. Very well prepared and presented with excellent service. Small restaurant but very pleasant ambiance.

I visited this small restaurant with friends. There was an excellent choice of dishes and the wine was delicious. I would certainly recommend the Little House to anyone wanting a great meal in Settle.

Both my husband & nyself really enjoyed our rib-eye steaks which were very tender & tasty. The home-made soup starter was excellant as well. Lovely friendly staff & excellant decor. Would go again when visiting Settle.

This little restaurant was big on flavor. Excellent salmon and pork tenderloin, good wine selection. Excellent service.

I have eaten at The Little House on several occasions. For Settle it is a little unusual in that it sets its standards high..and its prices too. But it s attempts to surpass Settle's norm are well rewarded.. In a tiny room with probably a maximum of twenty covers, the owner and his wife manage to conjure up some rare and intriguing tastes and flavours.I think that the restaurant would claim to major on an Italian menu...but who cares as whatever is served up is delightful.The proprietor/maitre d' might be accused of, at times, being too attentive, verging on fawning, but i think that his actions and attitude are only intent on ensuring that his clientele receive what they sought in visiting his premises..A bonus here is that the choice of wines offered to diners is very recherche...verging on the unusual, with an emphasis on Italian ones.An evening meal here NEVER fails to satisfy and impress..

Delicious lamb liver and sea bream, with interesting sauces and vegetable accompaniments. Very friendly and efficient service. A pleasure to dine there.

This restaurant is only open certain days so check the website and make sure you book! We went on a Wednesday evening after reading some good reviews and we were not disappointed. The food was wholesome and great tasting. We both had starters of carrot and orange soup followed by the sea bass and pesto. It was delicious albeit a little on the expensive side! The staff were very friendly and attentive, if we were being picky we would say the courses were served a little to quickly ( we had 3 courses and we were out in an hour and a half) and we couldn't savour our evening as much as we would have liked. Definitely worth a visit if staying in Settle!

Best restaurant meal we've had in some time. Good menu with a range of dishes. We had a great evening with a visiting friend who really appreciated the local specialities. A fair price for very good food.

Great little find after all the disappointing pubs in the area. More expensive but well worth it. Excellent personal service. A welcome menu compared to others that have the same old same old. Very much enjoyed

After visiting Little House Restaurant tonight, we cannot praise them enough, both for the delicious food and excellent, friendly service. It was really pleasing to find a menu that included a fruit selection in the first course; very tasty!! We came across this restaurant by chance while staying in Giggleswick and would definitely recommend it to any who appreciates excellent food. Would certainly eat there again.

Went for my wife's birthday..had the best kia royals ever. All the food was done to perfection and the personal service was second to none. Veronica even baked a birthday cake. The atmosphere lends itself to a really pleasant dining experience. Highly recommended.

Tonight we decided to have dinner at this lovely establishment as we are visiting the area for a wedding tomorrow. The food is outstanding if you're looking for something special. We opted for the sea bream in a pesto sauce which also came with cherry tomatoes, green beans and potatoes followed by a chocolate melting pot with summer fruits, ice cream & biscotti. Perfect for the Summer.If we ever visit this area again we will definitely eat there. A great menu, nice ambiance and superb service and wine.Perfect for couples and diners who like quality. Please reserve in advance to avoid disappointment if you can't get in.

We dined here as a party of 10 and what a wonderful night we had. The food was excellent and so was the service making it a fantastic night out. It may only be small as the name implies but it's very big on everything else!! I definitely recommend this lovely restaurant.

We had been recommended a couple of pubs for a meal in Settle, but found their menus to be uninspiring and frankly useless for non meat eaters...so we wandered about and eventually stumbled upon this little place. Fantastic fantastic fantastic!!! The place has a small but well conceived and interesting menu, professional service from the host, the best cooked presented sea bream I have ever eaten, just the right size portions, fabulous wines, divine desserts - if you are in Settle you should treat yourself. It is proper FINE DINING at very good prices

This was our second visit to this wonderful little gem of a place! We went with my cousin and her husband, who are regulars! Everything about this place is superb!!! The food is obviously their main event.......what I like is they only have enough food for the people who have booked, so not fighting for cover after cover so the atmosphere is relaxed and not rushed!! What ever you order is full of flavour and just the right portion size, the wine is of an excellent quality and its delivered with love!Molton Brown in the toilet.......is also a nice touch!!!I don't really want people to find about this little gem as I want to keep it a secret but that would be unfair on Andrew and his wife, as they do a 'grand job' as they say in Yorkshire!!

Great menu, very nice restaurant , very friendly waiter. Definitely worth visiting. Nice wine selection.

We ate Little House on Thursday 4th June. I had booked it an 'add on' to an overnight at Hellifield Peel Castle for my husbands birthday. I went purely on recent reviews and was delighted it lived up to expectations. It was quite when we went (probably due to a theme night planned the following night), but it didn't matter the atmosphere was still great. Food was excellent and perfect portion sizes to have 3 course. The Parkin and toffee sauce was gorgeous. If we are in Settle again we will definitely be returning. Highly recommend it.

Excellent freshly cooked meals and a menu that changes constantly. Good wines and beers and the fish dishes are especially good since the owners / chef select the fish every day from a high end supplier who brings it fresh from the docks. Last time I ate there I had a delicious plate of grilled sardines with salad, home made bread and a glass of very good sauvignon blanc.

An absolutely lovely evening. Well thought out menu options, beautifully presented. Would highly recommend the nut moussaka, and asparagus and Brie tartlet. Attentive service without being intrusive. Friendly relaxed atmosphere. Prices no higher than the nicer pubs in Settle, but a much more special experience. Definitely highly recommended.

My wife and I were visiting Settle and we visited on a mid-week evening with local resident Gerrygrumps whose positive review is below. So our expectations were high.The service was charming and faultless and the food was delicious.The restaurant was quiet and we learned that another couple eating there owned one of the other restaurants in Settle. This is probably one of the more expensive restaurants in Settle (the menu and prices are clearly displayed outside) and my impression is that the restaurant is aiming at mature customers who appreciate good food. In our case they were completely successful.

The restaurant deserves praise for the inventiveness they display in their dishes, taking the best from various continental and British kitchens. They were a bit heavy on the sauce in my lambsteak. But the bressaola was well prepared according to classical rules.The coffee was also of good quality, something one can only be grateful for. The room was a bit cold when I arrived . Perhaps the heating could have been turned on a bit earlier?I also have some trouble with the tendency to name wines by the grape rather than by the country and region. But in all, a pleasant meal in smalltown Yorkshire

We have eaten there before and were not disappointed on returning. The choice was not enormous but sufficient and very quickly presented. Seldom do I go for three courses as my capacity has reduced over the years, but on this last occasion I was very tempted.

We hadn't booked on the Friday (had tried to book on the Saturday but it was full) and were lucky enough to get a table. The waiter was lovely and friendly, knew just when to stop and chat and when to leave us alone. The cusine, I'm not calling it food, was an absolute taste sensation and beautifully presented. We cleaned our plates! The chef clearly loves her job and it shows (not only, by his own admission, on the waiter's waistline). Highly recommended, shame we can't visit more often.

Lovely atmosphere, professional service, imaginative menu (good veggie options) and outstanding pan fried banana desert.

Reay good night with attentive Service, great food and pleasant surroundings. Warm welcome and decent selection of wine and food. We will be back to try other menus

We celebrated out anniversary evening here, and were a bit surprised to be the only customers! Really high quality food, and excellent service (well, there was only two of us being served!).Not the cheapest, bust possibly the best in Settle. well layed out and tasteful decor.

Having tried most of the restaurants in the Settle / Skipton area, this is our very favourite. The food (each course) and service are consistently excellent. A real treat and a very special little house! Not pretentious, welcoming and intimate - beautiful food.

My wife and I had a lovely 3 course meal at this small restaurant in Settle. There was a lovely quiet ambience as we ate with each course being fresh, tasty and well cooked.The staff were very friendly and attentive. The only downside was the lack of choice when it came to beers/lagers as they only had bottles of peroni.

Lovely restaurant that served good quality food. Some dishes unusual but the owner was happy to talk us through the menu to help us choose each course. Good wine list and again the owner very helpful in helping us choose the most appropriate for our taste. Will go back next time we are in Settle.
