Toft Gate Barn Cafe in Craven

Yesterday visited Toft Gate Barn for lunch, ordered a bacon & brie on white with salad, coleslaw & crisps, sweet potato fries followed by a slice of raspberry & coconut cake. The view across Nidderdale is fantastic & the food was absolutely delicious 😋, the staff were all lovely especially Leila who made us feel very welcome, we will be visiting again soon 😃

Visit quite often, staff and food good, but unfortunately the service is very slow. Today ordered bowl of soup and sausage sandwich, not busy and took 15 minutes to appear. Please improve this

Very limited choice, the pictures on their page must be from somewhere else because there was nothing like the choice advertised. Avoid.

We stopped for lunch and we're glad we picked Toft. Our friend and I had the Parsnip and Carrot Soup. It was delicious! My wife had the Quiche of the Day which she raved about. A great place to enjoy if you're in the area.

Very poor indeed, offered no choice on the bread, just gave us cheap white sliced without any explanation, when questioned they said they had no bread buns ! at 12-30 pm and hardly anyone in, Also there is a bakery in both Pateley Bridge and Grassington, get off your backsides and get some, no excuses at all. Give this place a miss

Three Lunches & 3 Teas @ just over £50. Two meals with nearly cold chips, steak pie with rock hard crust almost impossible to cut. One meal with salad, no tomato's or cucumber. Salad leaves not washed and some slimy. No apology, refund of £20-00. Kitchen staff need more Training.

Reading the couple of bad reviews on here baffles me. I try to visit this lovely little hidden gem monthly and I am yet to be disappointed. Today I had a beautiful salad off the new menu and it was absolutely delicious. My daughters painted as they had pots to go pop up there and they also got to see the gorgeous farm kittens and peacock wandering around. They didn’t have what my daughter wanted for lunch on the menu but they were so accommodating and met her request. All staff were polite and couldn’t do enough. If you haven’t sampled the cake counter you’re missing out.

The waitress service was fine but the food was inedible and not worth the expense. We had a hot beef in gravy roll with chips but the beef was tasteless shredded and tepid in a cheap soft white roll served cold. The chips looked revolting being dark brown, greasy and tepid, which we left untouched for fear of gastric regret! Not at all what we’re used to or expect in Yorkshire, which is generally renowned for great food. We would suggest you drive on past.

Nice staff but food wasn’t great the quiche was tasteless, slightly overcooked and very rubbery, fries were not crispy at all. I also got overcharged for the eggs I bought from the shop.

was clearly very busy, yet excellent service was delivered, was a tiny understandable wait on the food but luckily coffees were served quickly and staff’s friendly attitude was much appreciated throughout everything. Was absolutely stuffed after our delicious food but didn’t stop us from taking away some cakes.

absolutely flabbergasted with the smashing service at this hidden gem. lovely young lady served me yesterday with a pleasant attitude. Food was absolutely yum! I came in on a previous sunday and once again a lovely girl brought us our food with a warming smile. thank you for always providing us with the best service and food

I’m not a picky eater, I’ll eat up just about anything – especially when hungry, as we were when we arrived around 2 pm seeking a hot lunch (4 options), but my meal was among the worst I’ve ever been served. I ordered the hot beef with gravy (11;95), and got 2 rather thickish slices of spongy beef (?) seemingly boiled (?) and so tough, they were difficult to cut and even more difficult to chew. No gravy so I called over the server and asked for some, and it was provided - not much flavour and heavy on starch. Chips were skin-on – might have been nice had they not been cold and soggy. My partner had the steak pie (16.95), modest size and came with the same soggy chips. Said it was OK but he wouldn’t order it again. Stepped outside in the rain to enjoy the lovely views then drove on, looking for a spot to have a bite to eat. Lovely spot for a cofee though, had we stuck to that!

Such a fantastic place for coffee and cake! We topped a gorgeous winter walk in nidderdale with a trip to an old favourite and it lived up to expectations. Our last visit was probably pre lockdown and we so enjoyed going back. Great service, wonderful cakes and a view to die for, there cannot be many better coffee shops in the country! Planning another trip very soon!

Great food and Coffee lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Recommended to visit always a good selection of food and cakes. Also Dog friendly.

Wake me up for a normal breakfast and two vegetarian breakfast and a vegetarian people. Absolutely loved your breakfast. You stayed there for three hours talking and eating scones and having coffee will be definitely going back as the staff is really friendly they could do enough for us See youse all again love Raymond

We were so glad we discovered this place - a real gem. We had a lovely lunch of soup and vegetarian sausage sandwich - both delicious. The barn has a lovely cosy atmosphere and service was really friendly. We would definitely recommend for a good quality casual meal.

was greeted by a lovely young lady today at this café! had a latte and a piece of cake, and sat outside in the large seating area in the sun!

Superb, went for breakfast. Has to be the best Full English I've ever had. The Latte's were a perfect temperature also. I took a photo of my breakfast plate....ooops it's empty, all gone. Defo be back. The shop also sticks local produce.

Coffee and Cake and returned for a breakfast! Great latte and food, lovely staff and an amazing view. Farm shop so things to go, meatballs in sauce was tasty and filling. Great find and worth a visit.

This is a great spot for a mid walk spot and recharge of the legs and batteries. We'd been out hiking and this lovely cafe/farm shop is open everyday (thankfully). We had a restorative tea/coffee and cake which was served by lovely friendly staff. Of course it was also dog friendly. The views across the dales were lovely and so peaceful. I was very grateful to sit there and enjoy some good tea and cake. Sadly we didn't have room in the backpacks for the local produce but I wish we did have, as it all looked amazing.

First, I know this is a barn restaurant, but the private approach road really needs attention. Please just fill in some of the huge pot holes. The lunch menu is quite limited, probably best to come here for breakfast and please add a small English breakfast to your menu.

We visited the cafe for a cooked breakfast, the staff were lovely and friendly. The cooked breakfast was very nice and good quality. We also had a latte and cappuccino which where decent, but the latte wasn’t very strong. Overall a really nice meal

Love Toftgate Barn Cafe, great food and cakes to choose from and extras now with the farm shop. Fabulous views on a good weather day!

Visited Sunday morning for breakfast with family, we actually booked as we had 2 babies with us. The venue is stunning but the service is a huge let down we waited over 50 mins for our food! And it wasn’t that busy, when it finally arrived no sorry for the delay just a grumpy young lady put it on the table and walked off!! I had scrambled egg on toast! It was so over cooked and spongy it was hard to digest! I didn’t eat it all, my mother left most of her cremated bacon sandwich and my sisters full English was just so over cocked and microwaved the sausage was solid! Such a shame as we had heard good things we must of gone on a bad day but over £50 for four of us having breakfast o expected more! Won’t return sadly!

We arrived just before lunch time, we both ordered cream scones, hot coffees and a poached egg on toast for my daughter. My cream that I was given with my scone was off…. Young lad offered to get a new one for me but I had already eaten some by third point and within minutes I was violently sick.. He came back to our table to say manager offered us more drinks but after my experience we said we wouldn’t be drinking another hot drink, but we were not even offered a refund for the scone!!! We had read lots of reviews and were really looking forward to trying here! Really disappointing!!! Will not be returning

Great food with great views, all the staff are super friendly and the farm shop has amazing orange juice!! Amazing stop to make if you’re near Pately Bridge

We had a fantastic family lunch for 12 of us today, great food that was well done and really fresh, great service and lovely little authentic farm shop

We called in for lunch after visiting coldstones cut all the food was homemade and top quality really delicious staff were friendly and welcoming the cakes looked gorgeous in hindsight should have got some to go. Definately worth a visit if your anywhere near.

We arrived as 4 exhausted cyclists having mostly walked up the hill from Pateley Bridge. We received an amazing welcome from the lovely, and very busy, Caroline who had seen our slow progress up the hill. A wonderful spot with an amazing host. Highly recommended.

Called in whilst driving past really just for a cup of tea but we’re very impressed with the selection of home made cakes. Recommended if in the area.

Amazing breakfast and a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. Would highly recommend. It's also dog friendly which is an added bonus. Thank you!

Had a veggie breakfast here with our grandson. We keep coming back here when time allows as we always enjoy the food and the lovely views. Great to meet the owners today - very hospitable and kind. Grandson especially impressed with his marshmallows on the...

We stopped here for breakfast after leaving our nearby holiday cottage and driving home. We had full English breakfasts, which were excellent. Even on an overcast morning the views are quite delightful, but we were happy to be seated by a roaring log burning fire....

Visited after a walk up to cold stones cut, bubbly staff with great food. A fantastic choice of cakes. A quirky characteristic cafe!

Once again had a fab meal, delicious flavours and really lovely service. All three 3⃣ f us loved our meal. Thanks!

This is my 3rd time eating here, and is my go to food stop when on the area! I had the burger (again!) which was really good. Homemade tasting burger which tasted great. Loads of lovely strong cheese on top as well as bacon. Good...

This cafe was recommended to us and we were not disappointed. Our breakfast - veggie and full - were delicious. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. There are different seating areas, all are spacious and the views amazing. Other food looks very tasty and...

What's not to like? Great off the beaten track place with stunning scenery, fantastic food and friendly helpful staff, who go out of their way to make your visit a pleasure. Well worth a visit.

Stopped here for lunch as we were in the area. As it was a nice day we sat outside (on one of the 2 covered tables) with some amazing views. I had the burger which was amazing and very big. Nice and juicy with a...

Had a lovely lunch here, staff welcoming and helpful, food really nice! Only suggestion would be, seating outside could be improved, but that's just a suggestion!

Great cafe and friendly staff! Breakfast was spot on with good quality ingredients and well presented. coffee is excellent, will be visiting again.

We are so glad that our favourite cafe has reopened. We’ve been visiting Toft Gate for years & have never been disappointed. On this visit we had 3 little people with us, the cake selection had a favourite for each of them, while the cheese,...

Had a very nice morning sat looking at the amazing view. The cake coffee and bacon sandwiches were top quality. Very nice staff too.

Called here today and I ordered a sausage sandwich, a blueberry muffin and a coffee (cappuccino) so first the coffee, lukewarm and barely a wineglass full but it tasted ok , the muffin, well it was very moist ! Had you felt the need for...

This place is a hidden gem with the best views in the heart of Yorkshire. I went there for the last week and the food was divine (especially the delicious homemade cakes) and prices incredible, not to mention the great service. Had to ask what...

You can easily see the precautions taken given the current climate, and the instructions were really easy to follow. My only concern was from a data protection point of view that the test and trace solution was a book of people’s names and numbers left unattended by the door. Other than that it was great, easy check in QR code, one way system clearly marked, lots of signs calling for mask use and hand sanitiser for use. The staff were lovely and welcoming. They sanitised our table for us to sit by the window which gave us a beautiful view to enjoy lunch with. We have a few dietary restrictions and requirements and the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating and helpful with this, really put us at ease and made the visit easy.The food arrived quickly and was lovely. We had soup of the day with gluten free bread (which wasn’t an option on the menu but staff were happy to help out with this) and the quorn sausage sandwich with a portion of chips. All absolutely delicious. I take some peoples point about the slightly high pricing, but if a beautiful building in a remote area with stunning views, friendly staff and lovely food isn’t a reason to charge a slight premium I don’t know what is.

We have been here prior to lock down first visit since still strange times we live in at present.I do not remember the breakfast being so pricey had full English and a brew £12.75 the breakfast £10.95 surprisingly didn’t come with a brew.However although pricey and in Yorkshire. “Ow Much “ The food and service excellent nice clean cafe free parking Great views

..anywhere you go post Covid is potentially fraught with issues..not here as this cafe has everything sorted, from gel to staff with safety masks..there is an excellent one way system..as for the food and drink?..these were excellent as the cake was first class as was the tea and coffee..Feel safe and well fed and watered at The Toft..enjoy!..

Excellent cafe serving fantastic food by brilliant, friendly staff and the views are incredible of Gods own country

We(plus dog) were able to sit next to log burner which was nice... very friendly...we had a bacon roll and caramelised onion and sweet potato soup.Just the job ! Worth planning a walk with a stop here in mind !

Great food, stunning views and the cafe owners and staff couldn’t do enough to accommodate my Mum who has limited mobility.

on a poor weather day, a nice bonus was to have dinner, steak pie with chips and veg. it was really good , once again.good food good company, i think its nicely priced too .

Great cafe. Very friendly team and food/drink good at very reasonable prices. The view is amazing - well it will be when it’s not misty as it was today so we’ll be returning to check it out!

Not easy to find if you don't know it's there, but well worth the effort. Good local food. A welcome haven if you've been walking in the cold and wet, or equally good for a cool drink and a snack if he sun is shining.

Nice warm place to enjoy a coffee and delicious Quiche (bacon and tomato) before finishing our walk in the rain ! Service friendly and efficient.

This is a little gem, great place, great people and lovely food and coffee. We have been going twice a year when we visit the area for years. We always make a point of booking for Sunday Lunch, we have never need disappointed. Home grown meat and very generous portions always well presented. Just go and have a great time. Dogs welcome but sadly whatch out for reduced Winter opening.

We went here after Fountain Abbey parkrun. This is a lovely, welcoming cafe. We had the breakfast which was very generous and they kindly made an early lunch for one of us.The staff are so friendly and caring and the food is delicious.I can't wait to visit again next time I am visiting.Thank you very much.

wE visited this farm / cafe location recently and had the most wonderful view from the top of Greenhow hill to Boroughbridge and beyond.We enjoyed a lovely freshly made sandwich and followed by a scone and cake with a refreshing coffee and tea.WE shall be returning again.

Came to toft gate cafe after a walk at Coldstone Cut and enjoyed a lovely breakfast. Very good quality and though we had missed the breakfast service by 15 minutes they were happy to accommodate us.

Visited after Coldstones Cut and enjoyed home made ginger cake and hot drink. The other half had his cake with custard and it got a 10 out of 10! Nice coffee and lovely staff

Wouldn't go if your disabled.the owners daughter dates an alcoholic who thinks It's funny to laugh at and mock a severe stammer...not funny at all

Beautiful setting. Excellant choice of menu and delicious tasty food. Lovely friendly and helpful service Definitely worth a visit and will be returning soon.

I wish I could visit this place every week- It really is the absolute best! There is always a great selection of delicious cakes and scones on offer and to sit outside, enjoying the stunning views over nidderdale is such a treat! After a nearby walk on a sweltering bank holiday I was desperate to make it to toft gate barn before it closed. Our mint aero cake and carrot cake were wonderful! The staff our always friendly and helpful and I just love it!

We have passed this farm many times and decided to give it a try. We arrived at 11am on a Sunday and ordered a full English for my husband and the vegetarian breakfast for myself. The breakfasts were quite expensive but were huge. We didn't realise until after we'd left that a glass of fresh orange was included in the price but we didn't received them. That was our problem for not realising.

We stopped off here for a spot of lunch. The cafe itself is lovely and spacious with amazing views. Staff were really friendly. The food was amazing , the salad contained a few strawberries and apple which added a lovely sweetness to it. I’ve never thought about putting strawberries into a salad but it definitely works! We both ordered sandwiches which were a generous size, hubby had ham and mustard and I had feta cheese and roasted peppers. Both delicious! We then found room for a piece of cake- this was not to be missed!!! Amazing moist sponge and again a generous portion! I had coffee and walnut and hubby had carrot cake. This place is definitely one to visit if you are in the area and if we come back to Pateley Bridge we will definitely be back! Thank you for amazing food and service!

Visited today as no half decent cafes in Pateley itself.Weve been to the Toft gate in the past,lovely latte and great views and novel toilets! Friendly staff so what is there not to like?Not had a meal here as yet but will at some point.Handy cafe when visiting the Cold stone Cut! My favourite seats in the cafe are the leather sofas.Only negative is i couldnt get the wifi to work lol.

Rode out here on my motorbike for a Saturday morning breakfast. It is quite remote, but this gives it a very relaxing feel and as it is near the summit of a good local climb it is popular with local cyclists. Polite staff served a good coffee and sausage sandwich. I'll definitely be revisiting!

We had lunch at Toft Gate Barn and the home made quiche was absolutely delicious with a nice green salad dressed with fruit. Friendly staff and views across to thw Yorkshire hills. Perfect.

My sister and I called in here and what a fab place .lovely views dat out the back and amazing cake . Lovely friendly welcome and would definitely recommend.

We have been several times now and highly recommend this very lovely cafe. Views across the valley are stunning but the food is the star!!

We’re local so have visited many times and the food and service is always terrific. Lovely relaxed barn atmosphere and dogs welcome downstairs. As it’s a little way out of Pateley - going up Greenhow Hill - it can be easy to miss, but is really worth a visit. Highly recommended.

Having seen this cafe on the tv thought we would pay it a visit. You can tell it is a fairly new venture by the entrance, road in and car park in comparison to those “farm” cafe’s that are long established but once inside it has a really nice atmosphere with a cracking view across the Nidd Valley. There is an excellent choice of drinks & cake plus hot food. We stopped for our main meal of the day and chose the pork pie (local butchers) mushy peas and homemade freshly cooked chips for £6.60. Not only very good but excellent value. Staff were nice too. I am sure 5 stars will come but still little things to improve eg no condiments on the table, you have to ask. Toilets very nice but no lighting on and it was a bit of a grey day. A bigger sign at the entrance would help, also the colour means you can fly by and the road can be busy so easy to miss. We made an effort to find it and but will go again.

i went on the farm walk at 11 am and was treated to a insider view of life in modern day upland hill farming , the difficulties of running a small beef and sheep business alongside a cafe in Nidderdales area of natural beauty after i had the freshly made burger in a bun followed by scone cream and jam, All excellent,

The farm was open for all to see and there were organised guided walks with the very friendly owner who told you about the history and operational activity of the farm.

This is an amazing gem in Nidderdale - wonderful food, delicious and irrisistable home baked cakes and scones. A lovely friendly and warm atmosphere - not to be missed if visiting the area

Best scones served at Toft barn baked fresh each morning. Delicious decaf coffee too. I’m a regular here and it never disappoints. Dog friendly too.

Excellent service good food lovely place and views - Cake - massive take away portion but a little dry, other than that wonderful

Having read the reviews of other travellers, I can only assume that our visit was the exception and not the norm. Although there were plenty of staff around, tables indoors were not cleared so we decided to sit outside to have scones and tea. The scones were poor & tasteless- they didn't appear to be freshly made- perhaps they had been made with either a scone mix or had been previously frozen. I was surprised to see that after the server brought the scones etc, she didn't bother to clear the table next to us and this, with other outside tables, remained uncleared during out visit. On the plus side, the views from the café are stunning.

Fantastic food, fantastic location with superb views very friendly and welcoming staff. Wonderful converted farm barn and buildings relaxed atmosphere and comfortable surroundings. Located at the top of a steep hill up from Pateley Bridge on a national cycle route (way of the roses) and crossed by many footpaths.

Stopped for a brew but ended up with cake as well. The display of goodies was just mouth watering to look at and tasted wonderful. We shall make the detour when next in the local area!!!!

Beautiful views and really friendly setvi e greeted us on the rainiest of days.

Lovely warm welcome, gorgeous cakes and coffee, views to die for and dog friendly. What’s not to love.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this unique farm restaurant. The whole atmosphere is welcoming, homely and efficient. The food is beautifully presented and first quality. Prices are average and we will be returning next time we stay at Pateley Bridge!

Visited on Sunday of Easter weekend 2019. Sat in courtyard over looking nidderdale landscape. Those who like views you will not be disappointed.

Went to visit this cafe after seeing it on the program 'Springtime on the farm' We were not disappointed. Friendly staff, modern country feel cafe with seating outside to look at the terrific view. We had scones, which tasted good with lashings of tea, which we like. We will definitely be visiting again soon. The only suggestion I would make would be a small play area for children and that everyone give it a try when in the Pateley bridge area

Has high hopes for this place based on reviews. This place is a largish commercial feeling place not a cosy tea room. Find a seat, order at the till food is served to the table. Prices we thought were on the high side, a simple Americano £2.80, slice thin of cake £3, scone with jam and cream £3, a somewhat warm bottle of coke £2.20....

1st visit to Gate Toft Barn cafe, after seeing this family on channel 5, we travelled approx 2 hrs from Holmfirth. Staff very friendly, food good value for money, we had steak pie, chips, peas and carrots, nice to be given a jug of extra gravy. Had a nice chat with the owners makes you realise what a tough time hill farmers have, we wish them all the best in the future. Will visit again and recommend to friends.

Every time I’ve visited this lovely cafe with views to die for above Pateley Bridge , I am welcomed so warmly by the owners and staff .

Fabulous brunch here with the kitcar club they will cater for you and bend over backwards to make it a memorable meal experience experience. Great friendly staff great venue and views and great food

After seeing this place on Channel 5’s Springtime on the Farm and the fact that the cafe was opened to try and save the struggling family’s farm, my wife and I decided to take an hour and a half drive to offer support to this nice family.

Visited on my motorbike today, 14th April. I was freezing by the time I got there although I'd only travelled from Darwen. I was met with a warm welcome and a log fire. I went for the big breakfast which was hot and tasty. Has I was ready to leave it started to get busy with s kit car owners club.

Very nice place, great views. Freshly cooked food, well worth a visit especially on a fine day, check website for opening days.

Lovely little family run place with a friendly welcoming atmosphere. Have visited a few times and on my last visit they were decorating the upstairs for a private function (birthday party) and it looked fab also dog friendly too. I would highly recommend the homemade cakes

The Yorkshire hawking club meet at the cafe on a regular basis .

Called it with the family. Staff are always lovely and helpful. Food is freshly made and always excellent. Good value for money and roaring fire on cold winter mornings.

Whenever we are in the area we visit here, the bacon and sausage sandwiches are excellent quality, always a varied selection of cakes, lovely coffee and a great view. What more do you need

We often stop off at this lovely converted barn cafe when walking in Nidderdale or Wharfedale way. The cafe offers a good range of scones, cakes & more substantial meals. Really helpful staff - offered to make us cheese & tomato on toast, even though it wasn't on the menu! Delicious scones too, with a good cup of tea, all served in and on very nice tableware. Lovely views from the tearoom windows - and also from the terrace, which is open in good weather.

Great breakfast sandwich (bacon and egg), nice tea, coffee and cakes. Lovely, cosey place but service is a bit slow.

After a lovely Autumn walk along the Nidd, we discovered that most of Pateley Bridge is closed on Mondays therefore six of us popped up the hill to Toft Gate for lunch. We're very pleased that we did.... great service, great food, stunning views and value for money. They couldn't do enough to look after our friend with special dietary requirements. We all ordered and enjoyed a mix of full meals and sandwiches ... all of which were delivered quickly with a smile. We bought a couple of beautiful scones to take home.... which they sealed in plastic Tupperware tubs for us ... even including some butter. We'll definitely be back and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it!

Great find high up the dale above Pateley Bridge. Simple breakfast menu offering high quality food served by lovely attentive and friendly staff. Menu a little pricey but the food was first class. Great old authentic farm building with excellent panoramic views, free parking, toilets and various locally sourced things to purchase. Worth a drive out!
