The White House in Richmondshire

We had the White House recommended by some local people Lovely place, food and very friendly service, can’t fault anything whatsoever here!

Came across this cafe whilst on a drive through Swaledale. We were lucky enough to get an inside table and had a lovely lunch. Although the menu is small, the quality of the food is excellent and it is run by a lovely lady. Definitely will return if we are ever in the Dales again!

Popped in today while staying in Grinton and had some lovely toasties and coffees. The lady who served us was so welcoming and friendly, will definitely pop back if visiting again!

Just stopped for tea and cake after a lovely walk. Lovely welcoming cafe. Best cake ever - especially the ginger!

Fantastic little cafe with very friendly owners. We stopped by when cycling thru and had a very tasty sandwich and toastie…definitely worth stopping by!

Fabulous hosts, wonderful toasties & cake (all of them!), and superb coffee (latte made with oat milk for me). Would recommend a visit to anyone visiting or holidaying in the area.

This was our second visit and have now sampled Lemon Drizzle, Victoria Sandwich, Ginger Cake and Death by Chocolate Cake, the lightest and best cakes we have ever had in a tea shop, absolutely delicious. Both times we sat outside on The Green and our drinks and cake were brought out to us. Mel and her partner were very welcoming and had time for a chat. We will definitely be back. Lin & John

my friend and I called in for a cup of tea and a sandwich after a long walk looking a bit worse for wear , we were made very welcome the owners were very friendly the place was smart and spotless , the food was really nice definitely one to try if you are in Reeth .

We had great sandwiches and coffee with service to match. Highly recommended we will definitely call again on our next tour of Swaledale.

We called in on a snowy day and were pleased to reach the warmth both in terms of the welcome and the log burning fire in the lower room. We had coffee, sandwiches and cake which were delicious and at a reasonable price. I would certainly recommend this cafe.

What a lovely visit. A great IPA and lemon drizzle cake and a delectable hostess who was helpful, engaging, friendly and very interesting. The premises were immaculately clean and a lovely spot to sit outside in the sun. Full marks and worth a revisit.

Called in with my dog for a welcome pit-stop after my journey on public transport with all my luggage. I had a lovely cup of Yorkshire tea with toasted tea-cake. The crockery is beautiful, hand thrown pottery! The ginger cake I took away with me, was delicious!! Melanie was very friendly and went above & beyond, offering to look after my luggage, allowing me to take a stroll around the village with my dog & find the cottage before check in. Will be back again in the week. Highly recommend!

We have been here a couple of times now and recommend highly. Superb home made mushroom soup and delicious sandwiches with generous filling. Really cosy welcoming interior and Melanie is very friendly. Will be back next time we are in Reeth.

Tried the White House for the first time and had a fabulous soup, sandwiches and cake lunch, all home made. The owner is very friendly and welcoming and she has decorated the White House beautifully. We sat downstairs in a small but very cozy setting next to a wood burner where we enjoyed an hour. Dog friendly. Every visitor to Reeth should try this establishment.

Well what can I say other than Fantastic! A warm welcome in amazing surroundings. The couple who host this restaurant are friendly and very approachable. I had Russian vegetable soup which was very good my partner had wild chestnut soup which was completely of the scale ! Never have I had soup this good. The price was very reasonable and a great atmosphere! I definitely recommend a visit here! 10/10
