Swadford Centre in Craven

Lovely atmosphere and went above and beyond to make sure all our dietary requirements were met. Declicious breakfast and no microwave food for us ! so not sure whether Nikki b below was in a different cafe . Thank you will be back .

I had a fantastic experience at the Swadford Cafe with my family! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with the warmest hospitality. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and their friendliness truly made our visit special. The homemade food was outstanding—The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxing meal together. If you’re looking for a spot with great food, a friendly vibe, and a warm, welcoming environment, this cafe is an absolute gem. Highly recommended!

Never again for look and taste like microwave food may say it all home cooked but would say it was pre cooked then hot up in microwave. Never again

Fantastic choice in baked goods, especially the scones,also a good selection of ice cream. Very friendly service and great value.

when visiting this well known establishment based in the heart of the historic town that is Skipton, i chanced upon trying one of their delicious scones and was excited by the mouth watering varieties that was put before me. I chose upon the apple and cinnamon scone. It was delicious and the flavours really well complimented eachother. After my rather pleasant trip i feel obliged to come again when i next visit this beautiful town.

A visit to this lovely place for lunch, staff wonderful and polite, seating area lovely and relaxed. Had the homemade quiche with salad, just the right portion, reasonably priced, and the taste was satisfying. 🥰

Brilliant food, and very friendly staff ,plenty of choice, and the scones were very tasty, different flavours to choose from, also served with jam cream, very enjoyable lunch

Lovely cafe, homemade food and great staff. The scones were particularly good we will definitely be visiting again and highly recommend.

random visit on day trip to skipton… blown away by the magnificent, massive scones (5 flavours) and superfriendly staff

Have been a couple of times when visiting the area. The staff are friendly and adapt to whatever you want. The food is delicious and home made. I love their home made scones and quiches. My hubby loves the breakfast. Also great value for money, look forwarded to next time when in skipton.

Met with friends for coffee and once we saw the scones we had try some. They were enormous and delicious. Loved how all the food is on display and the kitchen is in full view so you can see the preparation taking place. The meals are all obviously homemade and looked lovely when the staff brought them out our next girly date will be lunch! The Swadford hub is now our new “Betty’s” the scones are that good! Well done team keep up the good work

Very clean environment and delicious food. Highly recommend if you enjoy a scone these are the best. Lovely staff.

The Swadford Hub is a great place to have a wonderful homemade lunch. The staff are super attentive. Good value for money. We will definitely return.

Cannot say anything good. The coffee tasted terrible - really strong & like instant rather than latte or cappuccino The scones were very dry & none of the staff smiled at all. Maybe a bad day as a busy bank holiday but not good at all

Fab cafe, fab food, fab people. We had quiche Lorraine and toastie. Very tasty food, fresh and homemade. Quick service and very pleasant. Super coffee and cherry scone. Recommend 100%.

Arrived in Skipton, with 15 month old granddaughter and 2 dogs, shortly before lunch. My wife is gluten intolerant and vegetarian so finding places to eat, especially with two dogs, is not always easy. Consequently, when we were passing the Swadford Hub and saw it was dog friendly and was advertising gluten free scones, we decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed. My wife, for once, had a reasonable choice from the menu and, overall, there was a good choice for breakfast or light lunch. The food was tasty and the homemade cakes were delightful. Staff were really friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. For some, the tables and chairs may seem a little functional but the chairs were comfortable and everything was clean and all tables were given a good clean after each use. Toilets were clean and there are baby changing facilities. We will definitely go back.

A great little find, called in Saturday afternoon ended up having homemade quiche with salad and corned beef pie with mash and mushy peas and 2 proper mugs of tea all for £20. My wife said the quiche was the best she had ever tasted and the pie was lovely, proper mashed potatoes, 🤤 We will definitely be coming here again.

Food home made and tasty and pleasant staff. However charging 50p for a glass of tap water is to me unacceptable when paying nearly £5 for a bowl of soup and a roll . (ie total bill just under £10 but became over £10 with the tap water! ) Didn’t get the £1 staff tip although new policy of now charging for tap water presumably means 50p more to owners and in my case staff punished £1 for what I see as managements greed. (Sorry it wasn’t fair on staff ) Not sure whether water price was displayed ! Will never go back!

Tasty food at a great price. Visiting Skipton and wandered past. The Omlette was tasty and well presented. Staff are happy to do reasonable adjustments on the set menu and the coffee was tasty.

Also known as the Swadford Hub or the Swadford Wellbing Cafe. Ordered cheese omelettes, one with onion and one with mushrooms (just under £7 each), and 2 lattes. Service was really good, with polite and friendly staff. Lots of tables to sit at which are all clean and well presented. The food was homemade and tasted delicious, with the side salad being very fresh and crispy and a small but thick omelette. Lattes were strong coffees and not the largest, but still good. Will visit again when next in the area.

This is a lovely cafe, food is extremely well presented and good quality, at excellent prices. Service is first class, and the staff very friendly. Recommended

The staff were pleasant and friendly. The ambience was quiet, no crappy music, the chairs were comfortable. Three tasty local beers on tap at fair prices and a range of varied eats, again at reasonable prices. Exellent spot for a quick drink/snack/toilet visit.

Warm welcome. Nice menu. Large tables and comfy seats. Tablecloths. No loud pop music. Good pot of tea. Friendly service. Staffed by volunteers doing a fantastic job. Sorry I don't live here, othereisecwould visitcmore regularly.

Me and my partner were traveling back from our holiday, we decided to stop by Skipton. We were walking round looking for somewhere to have some lunch, when we came across this little place. I had a panini which was lovely and my partner just...

Called in for a quick breakfast before going on the canal. Very friendly staff and very good value full breakfast. Full breakfast and a cup of tea for £6.05. Seems very popular with locals.

Inexpensive place to eat with friendly staff, limited menu but food is excellent. Plenty of seating, food prepared in full view and served quickly. All day breakfast, jackets, sandwiches and salads great value for money

The Swadford Centre is an institution. My uncle loves it. I went in once, it looked incredible and had a strong sense of community. I was there all of 10 seconds before someone asked me my age and I was asked swiftly to leave. I...

Friendly cafe aimed at the over 50s. Run by a charity by volunteers and a manager. Fresh cooked food varies each day.
