The Angel Inn Restaurant in Craven

We went for the Sunday Lunch. The main course and petit fours were amazing but the snacks were only ok and the carrot starter and dessert were too much technique and little taste. The restaurant wasn’t full but we were put in a through room on our own (at least we weren’t the Americans sat in the room on their own on the way to the toilets). The main course really was delicious & generous (cauliflower rarebit and boulangere potatoes were incredible). But it felt a bit too much like being in a business striving for 2 stars rather somewhere that was focused on whether the customers were having the best time (that being said one waiter, a Scottish guy, was a particular gem)!

Stunning food, attentive and polite staff.

We booked for lunch to celebrate the "New Year" ??. The food, the Taster menu with Wine pairing was excellent. The staff were extremely,ely attentive and knew their stuff. We intend to return for Dinner or Sunday Lunch with friends later in the year.

Way too expensive, not worth the money, we won't be going again, food great ,drinking great but by far far,far ,too expensive once again. Would not recommend this to anybody due to cost as I have eaten in many fantastic restaurants which gave us as good quality for a lot less money and there has always been a lot more food on our plate , Ridiculous. Nice place though.

Like many people visiting Michelin starred restaurants we were celebrating a big birthday, and it was clear that we were not the only ones celebrating on a Friday lunchtime. All of the staff made us feel welcome, and special, which is quite a skill. The tables are well spaced in a mixture of rooms and the atmosphere buzzing and not at all stuffy. Our type of restaurant. The food was exceptional and tailored for one of us with a fish and shellfish allergy. If you want to have exceptional food in the Yorkshire Dales look no further.

We had a wonderful visit celebrating my father’s birthday. The tasting menu was diverse and thrilling, the service was attentive, the sommelier who talked us through the wine pairings was highly knowledgeable and exceptional in her communication of the pairings between the food & wines. Thank you for a wonderful evening, we will be back.

Had the most incredible Tasting menu at The Angel at Hetton. It was art on a plate and the ingredients and flavours were amazing. I'm an incredibly fussy eater, and they had no problem swapping courses. The staff are so knowledgeable and genuinely know their stuff. We stayed overnight, and our room was perfectly appointed with a beautiful ensuite bathroom and free-standing copper bath. We were equally impressed with the breakfast Tasting menu and would highly recommend it for a special occasion or extravagant treat.

Excellent service and food was out of this world.

Beautiful night away, gorgeous room, one of the best tasting menu's. Special breakfast too. Highly recommended x

This was the best restaurant experience I have ever had. We had the 7 course taster menu with wine pairing and it was 'amazing'. The staff are fantastic and the restaurant just gorgeous. We also stayed over in the accommodation which was stunning and very comfortable, particularly the bed.

A fabulous lunch. The tasting menu was superb. Full of flavour and for me, the portion sizes were spot on although my husband was still a little peckish as we left. The wagu beef melted in your mouth. Above all the people who looked after it were exceptional. Service is 6 stars. Highly recommend a visit.

Loved the meal in the beautiful restaurant. Could this be the best seat in the house?

Wow! We visted with a group of 10 people with all sorts of dietary requirements and restrictions. Eveyone was blown away, I consider myself somewhat of a foodie and this was hands down the best culinary experience I’ve had to date. We enjoyed the tasting menu and every course was beautifully manicured full of flavour and colour. Every dish was so delicately balanced and you could feel the flow from one taster to another. The decor and ambiance was soft and elegant even with the beautifully polished floor countered by the warm soft artistic constructed wooden feature walls. It was truly a delight to immerse ourselves in an experience we’ll never forget.

Loved our meal and stay! Had the tasting menu which was delicious - definitely deserves the star. All the staff were incredibly friendly which made the stay! Our room was also great - lovely modern design and very comfortable. Thank you - we'll be back!

We had an amazing lunch at The Angel yesterday. The staff were super lovely, friendly and fun without being in your face. However the star of the show was the food, it’s just fabulous! The presentation is beautiful, so much care and effort has gone into each and every dish. The flavours are just sublime, I can’t even imagine how they pull these combinations together but it’s all just perfect! Thank you for a fantastic lunch.

Great night stay in one of the newly refurbished suites which are to a very high standard. A huge bath, a separate double shower, with crisp white cotton bedding and you are treated to a complimentary gift from the kitchen on arrival! Our stay and dine package included a 3 course meal which was to a very high standard, the staff couldn’t have been any more helpful. This package included breakfast which was in form of a taster menu, all locally produced produce and delicious. A great night away, a lovely treat and well worth a visit.

Having lived in Skipton the majority of my 20's and 30's I have always heard about The Angel, long before its current ownership. When speaking to people from the local area you get a wide array of reviews. However, I think that some reviews are based on cheap locals who wanted a local pub with local food, always mentioning a notorious 'moneybags' dish, (which I believe was something to do with Denis Watkins) to be offered and haven't actually ever dined at the current restaurant at all. Do people forget that the local pub, serving local food, is no longer a viable business? especially in the middle of nowhere?! it'd have been houses by now if not for this Michelin restaurant. We stayed here for two nights so that we could escape our tech world and take bobby the dog on extended walks over the weekend. We built up quite an appetite over the course of our trekking around Rylstone and Cracoe, and it's fair to say the food was exquisite. Everything and more that you'd expect. The tasting menu is made to offer glimpses of the local area integrated with a Japanese style. The show was stolen for us by the bergamot dessert to finish! wow. The wine flight, and service was top notch. A lot is asked of these guys day in day out, and people forget just how important it is that service like this exists in this country. Breakfast is fantastic, so different to anywhere else you go to visit. I would suggest, you just allow the restaurant to do what it does and experience a breakfast different to what you will have anywhere else. (Also, if like us you take your four legged friend, they are not forgotten at breakfast either!! Bobby loved his sausage! Thanks team!) I'd recommend not being a fussy eater, here - or to be fair at any Michelin restaurant, and just experience what Chef and his team are creating. All in all, a fantastic stay for all three of us, and a nice local get away. Not cheap, but what Michelin restaurant is??

Flawless food, staff that really care and want you to have a great time. Very impressed with how well and discreetly they dealt with troublesome guests. Thankyou!

A game of two halves. Firstly, the food was sensational and we agree with others that this is heading into 2 star territory. Anyone who doesn’t understand good food will obviously not go again. Dinner a week ago started off with an amazing selection of amouses bouches with stunning flavours, followed by langoustines cooked and flavoured perfectly. (This was from the à la carte menu.) Next a complimentary course of celeriac from the tasting menu. We then had venison and squab (pigeon breast) both of which were exceptional. The rhubarb dessert for one was immaculate and the cheese selection was also up there! Fresh mint tea to finish. What more could one ask for. But, but, but….. However the restaurant service did not match before dinner. We arrived across the windy and wet road from our room (over the courtyard) for a pre dinner drink at 7.30pm for a reservation at 8pm. On arrival they checked we had a booking and were invited to sit down opposite the bar. We then waited, and waited and waited for anyone to offer us a drink. Eventually after a good fifteen minutes we had to ask again for some attention and were still ignored. There seemed to be an obsession with the computer screen on the bar and no acknowledgment of the client-i.e us, the customers! When we finally came to order and looked at the drinks menu we noted that a single glass of Ruinart champagne (no other champagne option) was a staggering £26 per glass which has to be one of the most expensive glasses of champagne in the UK. And certainly in Yorkshire I imagine! With our order for the food yet to be taken it seemed to be entirely possible that one glass would not do the trick! (4 x glasses would cost £104). It was logical therefore to order a half bottle at £70! A positive bargain! After being shown to our table with champagne still in the bottle and as the canapés were being delivered, a waitress topped up our glasses and announced that we were “dangerously close to running out “. (Perhaps she thought she was being funny). We weren’t impressed as we had half a bottle of Chablis in a cooler already on the table. We had also ordered a bottle of red wine which had been delivered by a knowledgeable sommelier who was charming. At the time he brought the wine he also placed four glasses on the table, one suitable for white and one for red. Shortly afterwards whilst having been asked if everything was alright, the “manageress” who had previously ignored us, whisked the two “red” wine glasses away, putting her fingers inside the rims while doing so. A total negative, surely? She then proceeded to replace these with the same glasses as the white ones. To say that the sommelier, who was diplomatic when he had clearly been undermined, was an obviously unacceptable situation and unfortunate. Apparently the “problem “ was that the slightly larger red wine glasses were for those drinking Burgundy! I know that no one wants staff to be grovelling and obsequious in this day and age but I’m not sure that being asked by a member of staff whether you’ve had a stressful day is the best way to create a rapport with your clients. What an extraordinary question and one which could be extremely invasive and embarrassing depending on the circumstances. We were staying in a room across from the main building up a steep narrow staircase with no bannister or means of holding on. Although we fully understand that there is a Skandi ethic to the decor there is minimalism and simply not very comfortable. There was a small two seater sofa with no other seating; no cushions, no rug to soften the polished concrete floor and two steps up to the bedroom area. And a tv on the wall. The bathroom was on the same level as the seating area and so if one needed to use the bathroom at night you had to negotiate the steps without any grab handle. We were also surprised that the bottles in the shower recess were of glass which would be really hazardous if dropped. The question is, would we return? For the food, absolutely. But for the accommodation, unless the rooms are made more comfortable, probably not. It’s telling that apparently there were only two other rooms occupied when we were there, despite the restaurant being pretty full. Maybe our room hadn’t been finished off?It wouldn’t take much to create the “ hygge “ atmosphere.

Dinner. A foodies wonderland. Hetton is on the southern edges of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Skipton. This is like no other gastropub we have ever been to. Yes, the outside looks like a country pub. But once you step inside, OMG. You could be in a swish restaurant in any capital city. The interior from the bar, leading to the dining areas are breath-taking,beautiful and modern. First off, pre-dinner drinks in the bar before being seated at our table. Menus are A la carte £110 for three courses. Or an 8 course tasting menu £165, which we chose. Snacks were Mont d'or,Trout,Parfait,Umami. One of them you had to share, unfortunately. To follow was Devonshire smoked eel, Oscietra caviar, white chocolate, nori & granny smith. Bread Hokkaido milk bread, Ampersand butter, Colonnata lardo & taramasalata. Langoustine Barbequed langoustine, Loire valley asparagus, kombu & smoked pike roe. Morel, boudin, Garganelli, braised ox, broad beans Périgord truffle & dashi. Main couse Sladesdown Farm duck, rillette, breast & leg, crapaudine pastrami,pickled beetroot. Asked if we could change to one fish dish instead. No problem, and it was duly served. John dory, kohlrabi, brown shrimp, razor clam, mylor prawns & winter leaves. Savoury, Baron Bigod, Winter truffle, Pedro Ximénez & muscat grape. Wasn't really a fan of this dish. Yorkshire rhubarb, crème fraiche, buckwheat, ginger & Mexican marigold. 'Opera Pistachio, cherry, Mayan red chocolate & yoghurt. A creative temple of taste,the friendly waiting team, full of Yorkshire hospitality, keep it from pretentious. Thank you to Michael Wignall & his team for the night to remember.

Visited at the weekend and had a good but not amazing experience. The restaurant is lovely inside. Nice and spacious and well presented. The staff were attentive and pleasant throughout. The food on the whole was good but some of the courses missed the mark. Little bits of the service such as adding extra sauce and garnish weren’t great and lacked refinement. A few times they were actually quite clumsy and it didn’t help the experience. We did wait a long time, around 30mins in between 2 courses which seemed too long and then again another wait of around 20mins before deserts were served. It was a nice evening but could have been better.

Just had a meal here this afternoon and it was the best dining experience we've had yet. The decor inside is modern whilst being inviting and relaxing. The staff can't do enough for you and have precise timing, giving you enough time to enjoy the experience and not feel rushed. The food was on another level and we got surprise courses to say we had al a carte. It's amazing the amount of complex flavours there were in every bite of every dish! Next time we're doing the tasting menu! Thanks for a great experience.

Worst booking experience ever. I wanted to book 4 rooms for two nights 28th/29th June . When booking I was told we had to have the £165 tasting menu and could not choose A la carte (£110). I said we wanted a la carte but this was refused because the kitchen could not cope with orders for 8 for a la carte. I asked again and was told the restaurant manager would ring me to see if they could make an exception. An hour later the receptionist called back and said yes they could do a la carte but the only time a table was available was at 6.30pm. This was a booking 5 months in advance. So it is clear that the Angel only operates for the benefit of its kitchen convenience and the more you want to spend the more inflexible is the attitude shown to paying customers. I emailed the owner but received no reply. If he responds to this review please don't give me a vacuous apology.

My husband and I are foodies. We travelled around the world for the best dishes. And Angel in Hetton is still my favourite after all these years. We keep coming back at least once a year since it opened. In fact, we've been to chef Wignall's restaurants ever since he was in pennyhill park when we lived in London. The food never disappoints. The attention to details is not only just about food, but also the interior design of the hotel. Love the modern and minimalistic, Scandinavian or Japanese decor. Definitely lots of Japanese influence there (and yes, the Hokkaido bread) Japanese toilets are a big plus. Value is actually really good for the quality of food and room. Definitely worth a treat. Coming from London it would easily be twice of the amount per head.

We were fortunate to get a room and dining experience at the Angel at Hetton for New Years Eve. The accommodation was first rate, with no expense spared on the furnishings, their fit and facilities. We stayed in the main restaurant building, which was ideal, giving us easy access for our evening meal which was the tasting menu. As we had been to the restaurant before, we were aware of the service standards and quality of the food and dining experience, all of which are not deteriorating over time, in fact they are improving. The staff were familiar faces from our previous visits, giving confidence to the guests dining that the staff were spot on with their work and communication. No disappointments here, nothing is too much trouble for the staff. The food is exquisite, with taste sensations coming to you on each course, amazing food and you can understand why Michael and team have a Michelin star, although why it's not 2 stars is a conundrum. At the end of the evening service, having retired to the bar for the customary NYE celebrations, to see Michael and his team all gather round at midnight was a testimony to their team spirit, it was lovely to see. Having had a great nights sleep, the breakfast tasting menu didn't disappoint either, with the service and food top notch. Overall, not disappointed and pleased that even though we didn't think it possible, Michael and team are continuing to improve and innovate, well done!

Living locally, I have been going to the Angel since teenage years in the early 1970s. After a period in the doldrums, Denis Watkins bought The Angel from the liquidator at auction in August 1983. Denis was a talented chef and revolutionised The Angel which...

Amazing food - just fabulous. Every course was a delight. Beautiful presentation and sensational (and at times surprising) flavours. In my humble opinion it’s comfortably a 2 star establishment. We didn’t stay so I can’t comment on the rooms but I’d sleep in the bus...

The decor was not what we were expecting in such a rural setting, but we loved it. Very cutting edge. Being served by different staff also put us on edge, but it was seamless. They were friendly and attentive. Food was absolutely sublime. If you’ve...

This was our first visit to the Angel Inn, but it won't be our last! As a group of four friends, we went for the lunchtime Taster Menu. From start to finish, the whole experience was first-class. As soon as we stepped into the restaurant...

Had a fantastic overnight stay and dinner. We couldn’t fault it. The room was spotlessly clean and decorated in a modern style very much to our taste. The food was really delicious at breakfast and dinner. Would thoroughly recommend for a special occasion.

Having travelled through Storm Babet it was well worth it !! We had an absolutely amazing lunch . The quality of the food was exceptional. The staff were very friendly and helpful but very professional. Creating a wonderful dining experience.

We ate at the Angel last year and I really couldn't fault it. We at at the Hand and Flowers for my 50th this February at it was terrible. So for my wife's birthday it was her turn to choose and without hesitation she said...

Just wonderful. Beautiful presentation, extraordinary and intense flavours. A true 1* Michelin experience. Not a great quantity but this is expected with a tasting menu.

Michael and Johanna have created an amazing environment in which to enjoy the excellent food served there. Having wanted to visit for a long time, the experience from the first welcome did not disappoint. Our room, the food and the breakfast the following morning were...

In a gorgeous countryside setting, is a very stylish, relaxed, modern restaurant. Their Michelin star is well deserved and i wonder if a second will be awarded. The food was exceptional, the service outstanding from a young team and at £110 for four courses with...

We where there on Friday night ,the food was absolutely fantastic. The service was as 5 star and the best was the breakfast .a totally different experience. We will be back

Unfortunately, my wife and I were not well attended to at dinner last night. To say the service was lacking would be a gross understatement. Though everyone was pleasant, the staff simply failed. When we sat down, we ordered drinks. A glass of wine for...

Wow! Incredible tasting menu experience. We had wanted to visit for a while and it certainly exceeded all expectations. Service, food and restaurant were all incredible. We can’t wait to go again!

We stayed overnight in a guest bedroom and had the tasting menu and breakfast inclusive deal. First things first, the staff - faultless. Even the “young” staff were superb and clearly had been brilliantly trained - a reflection on the manager and a sign of...

Treated ourselves to the taster menu, wine pairings and a night in a beautiful room for our anniversary. It was absolutely superb from start to finish. The food was some of the best we have tasted and the taster breakfast was a lovely touch.

Lovely food which lived up to expectations with just one exception. Particularly impressed with the vegan offering - including the breakfast The only let down was the clear inexperience of some of the waiting staff.

We visited in 2019 when Michael Wignall first bought the Angel. The food then was exceptional and we predicted a Michelin star was incoming. Sometimes when you return to a great restaurant you can be disappointed as your expectations are high. In the case of...

We called to the Angel Inn for a drink and were so disappointed to find it had been overly modernised to Scandi design. This is the heart of the Yorkshire Dale's not a restaurant in the City. There's no atmosphere and the staff miserable. Paid...

Two of us had dinner in this expansive restaurant. Taster menu was fine if a little on the safe side. Service was fine.

Superb experience - the food was visually stunning and delicious, the service efficient, friendly and unpretentious, and they were extremely welcoming to our children. Generous lunchtime tasting menu, showcasing some seriously amazing ingredients and skill.

The restaurant decor is beautifully understated and fits perfectly with the surrounding Dales. The food was of the highest order and the attention to dietary detail, from personalised printed menus to the subtle delivery of 'gluten free' dishes to the table made the evening 'special'....

From the food (potato dumpling snack and scallop), to the staff (Helen and David) to the decor (alpine inspired) and the view (the Yorkshire moors), exceptional in every way!

Eating at Michael Wignall’s various restaurants – which I have done over many years – has always been a slightly frustrating experience. Whilst he has obvious talent, portion size tends to be small and I have sometimes felt the amount on a plate is ridiculously...

Brilliant; absolutely brilliant. The food and its flavours, top service from really nice people and a great ambience were off the scale. A big well done. The Whites, Harrogate.

We stayed in a room in the buildings across the road from the restaurant and could park right outside. There were umbrellas provided which was a nice touch, as were the maps of local walks and the hotel's signature shower gels, etc. The room was...

We visited for my birthday dinner in March and had wonderful evening. Loved the minimalist decor and the service was top notch (if a little over friendly - are you doing anything nice tomorrow - did make me feel like I was at the hairdresser’s)....

A one night stay. A lovely room, amazing dinner (beautifully judged), excellent service and, to cap it all, a tasting menu at breakfast! What an experience. The hare black pudding is worth the visit alone.

This is my first visit to The Angel, a birthday meal with my husband and 2 children (11 and 13). This was their first fine dining Michelin experience, and what a way to start their journey. The food was outstanding, we all had the tasting...

The evening tasting menu was perfect. This was the second visit and we’ll certainly return. Food and service equally good. The tasting menu for breakfast was innovative but no matter how well you season your food as a chef, you cannot season a boiled egg...
