The Pantry West Marton in Craven

We've visited many times and chosen from the breakfast menu which has always been first class. However today I decided to choose a punjabi lunch special which was brown lentil Dahl yogurt, salad and freshly made chapati, oh my word it was first class. Well worth the 36 mile round trip. The owner & waitress are lovely, so friendly and helpful and seem very genuine that you enjoy your visit. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed

This small cafe has been 're named the Country Kitchen. It was preview covid since we had last been and it was fine. It's a pleasant venue, and all the food we saw was just fine. We had a small individual pot of tea each and a toasted teacake...Again, fine, although there individual pots were small, just one cup. The shock was the bill, almost £14.00.... £4,25 each for the toasted teacake!!....Well, we know times are hard and prices gone up, but this is just extortionate in our view...Sorry, will not be back...Bought a large toasted teacake recently at a craft bakery cafe recently for £2.80....No justification for such rip off prices

What a fantastic Punjabee meal experience, fresh ingredients & welcoming staff & the puddings...well everyone needs to try this place . We will be back .

Popped into the Kitchen Garden on way out elsewhere for a quick spot of very late lunch. What a lovely surprise. The place has been beautifully renovated with calm, serene and calming colours with little fairy lights. (Outside aswell as the inside). All the ladies working there were just the loveliest and whilst we opted for the paninis, there was a choice of specials available. Coffee is coffee care, one of my favourites and it was just a really nice place to be. Definitely be back, I feel it will be a favourite stop off over the summer!

This is now called the kitchen garden and recently re opened in April . An oh what a bright and beautiful place to dine me and my partner ordered a breakfast sandwich of sausage and egg . Absolutely top notch food. Butchers sausage are the best iv ever tasted if in the area please call its very friendly. They also do a pop up punjab restaurant on fri and Saturday evening

The lady who owned the cafe has now retired. A lovely lady from the village has taken it over. Its has had a full refurbishment and new menu. It has just opened 4th april and now called the garden kitchen west marton.

Managed to fit 6 of us in (plus a dog) without booking and very last minute. They were still so friendly and accommodating and the food was delicious and can only be described as generous portions, 'lovingly prepared' with thought. Proper ham and cheese panini with crisp, salad and coleslaw - delicious! Even had dog treats for Willow ❤🐶

Looking at the reviews we decided to stop for breakfast on our cycle ride. Full English was very good and excellent value for money. Will visit again!

What a find we came across this cafe on the way home from a few days in Yorkshire. Good selection on the menu all freshly cooked to order. Lady who took the order was very friendly and made you feel very welcome. It appears very popular with the locals.

Really great place with home cooked food and cakes. The owners cannot do enough for you. Really cute little cafe in the lovely area of West Marton, near Skipton. Take away food also available. Super lovely people

Went to this cafe for the second time one Friday afternoon,the food was delicious,the service was excellent.I would recommend the burger off the specials board, it was the tastiest I’ve ever had.we will go again next time we pass.

Lovely little cafe on the A59 near Skipton. Comprehensive menu of cakes, sandwiches toasties etc. Friendly service. Reasonably priced.

My wife and I met up with a friend yesterday at The Pantry as it was a mid-way point. Full Corvid precautions in place, hand gel outside, staff wearing masks, we were asked to wait before entering while table cleaned etc. Ample parking outside but there is also a large car park just round the corner, and dog friendly. It`s a nice little place with only about six tables inside, but outside seating at the front and in the secret garden at the back. Toilets very clean, always judge a place on the toilets! A very good choice of menu ranging from all day breakfast, hot food selection, sandwiches, etc, and a fine selection of home made cakes, all very reasonably priced. Two of us chose the corned beef hash with pastry, hot and an ample portion, while I had bacon, emmental and cranberry panini which was spot on, all with a proper cup of tea. Delivery of the food was quite slow, by no means a critisism, as it takes time to make up fresh food rather than two minutes in the microwave. Service by the two ladies was very pleasant, they even went along with my sense of humour! Too full for a nice cake and no need for a full meal later when we got home. Overall, a very pleasant experience, super food and great service, we shall meet up there again.

Just great food and lovely people. Home cooked chips and always good soup. Tables well spaced and very Covid aware. Took soup away after the meal for a family member who was doing the night shift at the hospital! Thanks very much .

What a great stop for breakfast staff lovely polite helpful good portion sizes and tasty will be calling again when passing

Found this place by chance as we were driving home and glad we did,the food was excellent and so was the service and if you stop here I would definitely recommend the cherry Bakewell cake,absolutely delicious.we will definitely call again if in the area.

We stopped here only by chance as our dog was not feeling so great. The staff were great and concerned and we sat in the lovely gardens at the back. Had a great coffee and slice of delicious carrot cake. Lovely tea room inside. Lovely staff. Clean and covid social distance, hand gels.

Cute little cafe with fab service and food! There’s a secret garden behind the cafe which was a sun trap! Lovely full English and they even did our pooch Delilah a cooked breakfast! Would definitely recommend! Thank you.

Been driving pass The Pantry for ages and decided we should give it a try. We'll its a lovely place, great choice of food, made fresh, pot of tea really nice and hot. Great choice of cakes and will def try one of these days, but you get such a large plate of food that you really struggle to fit one in. Will def be calling again. Staff are really nice as well.

Visited The Pantry on the way home from York My friend and I had the all day breakfast which was very tasty with a pot of tea. Very reasonable and lovely service would definitely call again when passing recommended

Called in on Sunday and had English breakfast, lovely staff. English breakfast was lovely. We will be back, soon!

Ok it's not a place you'd stop off at at first glance but glad we did. The cakes were delicious served by very pleasant staff who was glad to pass the time of day with you and recommend places to visit . Hope to return in the not too distant future

We often call in here on our travels to and from Harrogate ....we have never been disappointed...great little place full of charm. Full English Breakfast is always delicious

We passed this place and quickly turned around as couldn’t pass without taking a look. So happy that we did. The place so very pretty, with cute deco and incredible hanging baskets. Breakfast was exactly what we wanted. Delicious sausage sandwich with perfect fresh orange and a nice cuppa. Really warm and relaxed atmosphere too, with plenty of outdoor seating. Make sure this is on your list of places to stop by to break up your journey.

My husband and I called at The Pantry on the 11th May, on our way back to Blackpool from Harrogate. Don had a prawn sandwich and I had a fried egg barmcake. Both were excellent, and very fresh. The staff are very friendly and efficient. The cakes looked so tempting that I bought two slices of an orange cake and an eccles cake to bring home - yummy!

We were travelling to the moors when we came across this roadside cafe. A warm welcome and a lovely full English breakfast.

Passed this place loads of times and eventually popped in for a bite to eat and I wasn't disappointed, excellent food at great prices! Great friendly service too. The only place I've been to where on the drinks menu you can get a glass of milk! So that was a real bonus

Having read a couple of dated reviews about the Pantry in West Marton I thought it was only fair to make a couple of points. As I mentioned in a previous review 2 years ago, the cafe is now under new management, and our first experience with the new team was amazing. We have since put the Pantry onto our culinary map, and visit whenever we can. I've recently discovered their gammon, which is just stunning. Delicious, tender, cooked to perfection - it really is amazing. Now I've spotted a couple of reviews that were written while the cafe was under previous management, and they bear no relation to what we find today. The staff are absolutely lovely - attentive, cheerful, bright - it's an absolute pleasure to eat there. OCCASIONALLY we've had to wait a little while, but that's because everything is cooked fresh, not re-heated in a microwave - and the wait has ALWAYS been worthwhile. Special recommendation? Try the baking (as well as the gammon of course!!) it's utterly delicious!

We found this fabulous little place on our way to stay in Harrogate for the weekend, it has a wonderful atmosphere, with a warm and cheerful Yorkshire welcome. We had the vegetarian breakfasts and coffee, the breakfast was very, very good and the coffee was great! we enjoyed it so much we stopped on the way back home for coffee and Christmas cake (a must). Thank you to the lovely ladies who run the Pantry for a great welcome full of old fashioned charm and excellent value for money !

We stopped here whilst travelling to Harrogate and it proved a good idea. We just had a bacon barm and a bacon and egg barm, with tea and coffee. Everything was well cooked - to order - and the tea was piping hot. The bacon was particularly good, being proper thick slices rather than the skinny stuff that dries up when cooked. A good little spot and handy to know.

We stumbled across the Pantry Cafe when we were trying to head back down south but all the roads we wanted to take were closed! What a chance finding. The atmosphere in there was so very welcoming - and we were the only people in at that time in the morning! There were 5 of us - 2 adults and 3 children. The waitress (whose name I didn't catch) was so attentive, friendly, brilliant with the children, kind and really really helpful. The menu was not too big that we didn't know what to have but still had plenty of choice. The tea was perfect, the hot chocolate entirely decadent and the breakfasts were sublime - cooked by Emma. The fire was roaring, the venue was super clean, the parking could not have been easier. The children said it was the best cafe serving the best breakfast ever! Sadly we live about 300 miles away otherwise we would be frequent visitors!

Bicycle friendly cafe...very charming and good food.recently updated so nice and clean. On the road between Gisburn and Skipton.

The cake was delicious, the service excellent but the coffee was dire! Many people were eating breakfasts and saying how good they were.

Stopped on our way to Blackpool ,we all had bacon sandwiches all served in thick hand cut bread and lots of it

During a long journey we came across The Panty and decided to stop for lunch. The staff were extremely welcoming and encouraged us to sit in the garden at the rear which was really nice and a real sun trap. Menu choices were good - the homemade chips were delicious and some of the best I have ever tasted. Portion sizes for the prices was exceptional value and I would really recommend the place. I am upset that I do not live closer. Well worth a visit.

Called on on our way home.. what a pleasant surprise. Clean, pleasantly decorated, very welcoming, and very friendly, cheery staff. It was a bit like stepping back into the good old days, when businesses tool a pride in what they did. The food we chose was simple but delicious. Well presented and not expensive. We'd be very happy to return if we are in the area.

A couple of us called in for a late breakfast halfway through a mountain biking ride.

We had noticed reviews for this place on TA when we were looking to visit a nearby garden centre and noticed quite a few cars on the car park when we passed - usually a good sign. The place seemed cosy and charming and had a summerhouse feel. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and there were some tempting things on the menu at very reasonable prices. There wasn't a lot of choice for my vegetarian husband but he chose the panino with Feta cheese. I ordered the all day breakfast. There was no problem with the wait to receive it as the food is made fresh to order. My husband said his panino was very good but as the very attentive waitress brought my breakfast out, she almost dropped the sauce she was also bringing and, grabbed at the plate. The contents all slid to one side and the beans slithered over the side. She didn't seem to notice as I shoved them all back over the edge and everywhere was then rather 'sticky' but it all looked substantial and well cooked UNTIL I SPOTTED THE EGGS - totally RAW in places. My husband said "You're not going too eat those are you?" Absolutely not and I left them both on the plate. I also saw some alien things sticking to the bottom of my toast. It looked like cooked egg white so I tried a bit. In fact it was very strong tasting cheese. Luckily I hadn't put any jam which the girl had brought for my bread!. The waitress didn't seem to notice, took our money and we left. My husband pointed out lumps of cheese sticking to the toast wasn't a good sign for cross contamination in the kitchen! Disappointing! Very disappointing!

Been passed a few times and always a few cars parked outside this small cafe. Decided to pay a visit for breakfast after night out in barnoldswick. Great freshly made large breakfast with pot of tea and mug of coffee. £15:40 Will definitely call again.

Each time my husband & I go to Harrogate we call & have breakfast at The Pantry Cafe in West Marton, it is a cozy place & the staff are very friendly and chatty.

My wife and I stopped for a drink and snack here on our journey home from Blackpool via Skipton. Saw the advance sign and pulled in. What a pleasant looking place to stop right at the road side but with sufficient parking at the front. Very nice coffee/tea and cakes in a traditional cosy interior with outside verandah seating as well. Friendly efficient staff. Felt like a real local family business. Would drop in again if travelling that way.

Many thanks to everyone at the Pantry.

I've visited here on a couple occasions but today was by far the best visit. Lovely food cooked perfectly and delivered by a friendly front of house young waitress. I think they must have a different chef on Sundays. Thanks Jane v

Having spent the morning removing a tumble drier and putting in a replacement, and several trips to the recycling centre I needed chip - only chips would do. I couldn't park close to home, so decided to take a ride out to the next village, West Marton. I'd been to the Pantry cafe several years ago, and wasn't impressed at all, but I thought I would give it another try. I'm SO glad I did. because it's been under new management since the beginning of the year. ALL their food is locally sourced, freshly cooked and utterly delicious! I opted for a sausage sandwich with a portion of chips and a cuppa, while she who would like to be obeyed had a chicken sandwich and apple juice. I judge sausages (and pies) and I have to say they were excellent, as was the bread roll that surrounded them! My wife's sandwich must have had half a chicken in between the slices, which was bread from a local baker that we both recognised immediately! For me though, although I loved my sausage butty, the "piece de resistance" was quite definitely the bowl of chips. Hand-cut, cooked to perfection, and NOT those huge chunky chips that usually end up solid and under-cooked in the middle. It was a generous portion too, but they didn't last more than a couple of minutes. It was all served with a generous-sized pot of tea - I managed to squeeze two and a half cups out of it. What a lovely experience, with really friendly, helpful and pleasant staff. This is now permanently on our foodie map!

14 members of Clitheroe bike club descended on this cafe today and we're met with great service, great food and all at great value for money. If only all cafes were this good (we wish), excellent all round, highly recommended.

We were looking for a brunch and saw a sign for this cafe. It's small with reasonable parking and I had the best breakfast I've had for ages! Recommend for pit stop

We had a lovely lunch here yesterday served by friendly staff. I had ham and pea soup which was delicious and a ham sandwich with home cooked ham. While my wife simply had a ham sandwich followed by a superb lemon cake. If we are ever on this road this is where we will be stopping for a bite to eat.

Popped in for breakfast on our way home from a caravan holiday. Very clean and pleasant establishment. The staff were prompt in their service, friendly and helpful. The food was axcellent and all fresh and hot. Shame it was raining as their outside facilities looked very appealing. Would definitely revisit and maybe sample the delicious looking home baked cakes.

We often call in here on our way across the border(!) into Yorkshire, it's always been reliable for tasty food without frills. Since last visit it has changed ownership, been redecorated and looks much more 'smart'. It's retained its charm though and the food is still tasty. Good for morning coffee, lunch, etc. and really handy, just set off the roadside.

Looks adorable inside and out. Very clean. (Although the windows need a wipe)

Excellent, inexpensive food served by a waitress with a smile Soup was thick and hearty served with fresh brown bread Sandwich full of meat on white or brown bread and an excellent choice of home made cakes Highly recommended

This place has been our little treat when feeling we needed a "pick me up" - always been shabby but food delicious and owner chatty and good at customer service, however, we found this time that it is under new management, and whilst the new owner was I understand previously the weekday cook we have only ever been on a weekend so never really tasted her food. Hubby chose full breakfast as normal, I got a bacon butty but he was not really impressed, whilst there was nothing technically too wrong with his breakfast as such, the beans were cold, the plate was swimming in grease (looked like it had come from the fried eggs) and the plate just did not seem to be as appetising. (She did reduce the price by 50p to make up for the faults! but we would have rather had a good breakfast than a cheaper one!) The very strong mugs of coffee we used to enjoy were no longer, replaced by weak, small teacups of watery coffee (not sure if they do mugs but we were never offered an upgrade to a mug), we need strong coffee with our breakfast!. There was none of the chatter and friendliness of previous visits, in fact the chatter we got was from another customer who we suspect was the father of the owner and who was not very impressed with the old owner from what he said, don't get me wrong I would go again, it just won't be that special little treat place in the future it will be if there is nowhere else we will go there.

Driven past here several times but today decided to pop in for a pot of tea and some cake. There were lots to choose from. We decided on the coffee cake and the lemon cake. They were so soft and moist.Possibly two of the nicest cakes we've ever tasted. The tea was good quality and plentiful. Two teas, two good sized slices of cake, all for £8. There were others eating hot food inside which also looked very appetizing so will be trying here again next time we are passing through the area.

An impromptu stop here on a lovely drive in the countryside!

The pantry at west marton has got new management - it has been decorated, cleaned extensively - we called on Sunday for breakfast , food was excellent service great and all round good experience

Some people might be put off by the appearance but to us it had all the charm of the traditional roadside cafes that are very frequently at the roadside in New Zealand. It is "rustic" I think is the word for it, tables inside and out, but a real home from home, crackling open fire, owner has dogs and allows dogs in here so beware, although he tends to put the dogs away when people come in who either he doesn't know or not sure they like dogs - we have seen customers in with their dogs also, which does not bother us one little bit, after all our own dogs are with us when we eat at home (not here though, they (our dogs) aren't very social!), We have been once or twice recently, always for the home cooked breakfasts, cooked fresh with a lovely plateful of food and really nice bread to go with it (not the normal supermarket sliced!). Owner is lovely and he is really talkative if that is how you like it, but leaves you alone if you don't. Definitely worth a visit and as I said I would totally recommend the breakfasts, or the breakfast butties, bacon, egg, sausage etc. And, and a big plus for us, he does lovely really strong coffee - and we like it strong with our breakfast - a really good wake up call.

Ordered a bacon buttie, sausage sandwich and sausage on toast with a bowl of chips. The bacon smelt off you could smell it the minute it landed on the table. Was advised they weren't doing chips, bit weird considering, they had gammon and chips, sausage and chips etc on the menu...... Then was told oh yeah we will do some chips. WHY did we bother, again they were microwaved!

A full English wow it was enormous . Food was piping hot excellent tasty what more can I say . Tasty too with marmalades and jams to choose a plenty . Everything was served with a smile and nothing was to much trouble. Busy little cafe would recommend if your passing to give it a whirl.

Called in with our grandchildren for a brunch, food was excellent, service first class. A good choice of food to satisfy all palates. Good sized portions and according to our grandson a gammon officiado, the best gammon he has tasted, the home made chips great too . Pain is with side salad great. As has been said in other reviews nothing was too much trouble

Lattee and tea stop.waited 20 minutes for drinks to arrive did ask if we had been forgotten!! Tea very weak despite it brewing in pot while we waited for milk to arrive, latte was not frothy basically hot milk with floaty bits, did complain was informed defo latte out of a machine! Never again will we visit here!

This Country cafe is situated close to the crossroads in West Marton on the A59 near Skipton. It is set back from the road, and allows parking for a number of cars.
