Sat at an outside table in the sun. I ordered Fish Tacos. Took a while to arrive as they were busy but worth the wait. The scones are my usual go to as they are amazing but they didn't have any left! Have eaten here many times but never experienced their Gin bar.

This is a gem of a place. We went for a meal for our wedding anniversary as they open on Friday and Saturday evenings in the summer. We had a 3 course meal with a bottle of wine and it was great value for money. The food was delicious and we were full to the brim when we left! The staff were really friendly and welcoming and attentive. We look forward to another fantastic meal in the future 😊

The page is lovely. Every course was delicious. We found the staff very friendly and welcoming. The restaurant is very pleasant and open. Each course was interesting and very, very good. Better still the price are amazingly low. I'd go out of my way to travel to Bedale and visit this restaurant.

We went along to Institution as a mixed family group. The menu is excellent, boasting a range of different world cuisines. We shared starters including gyozas, honey whipped feta and albondigas. All very tasty and a perfect scene setter for the main event. The burgers are outstanding; the linguine and meatballs delicious and the lamb shank superb. The service was brilliant and the prices are very reasonable. Would 100% recommend.

My husband had a cheese scone and it was very nice. I had the calamari which was also quite nice. However 4 rings of calamari and a small pot of mayonnaise with no garnish for £7.95 I thought was very expensive. A few little touches would have made all the difference. I never mind paying for good food but don’t appreciate being ripped off!!

Normally a nice place, but last twice it’s been truly dreadful. Asked for a sausage sandwich for myself and and a child’s one for my little boy, both without butter. Was told no problem, they do children’s portions. Both came out the same , average size in a rubbish cheap roll (used to be big granary) with two cheap horrendous sausages in, and barely cooked smothered in butter. I mean, really? I was asked when I paid, and told the truth in a polite way, got discounted apparently. Still paid nearly £16, (with two drinks). I’ve been a lot the last few years, but not again. Shame. Bedale lacks a couple of smart cafes, unfortunately, this place is not the answer.

This place was one of the best in Bedale but went slightly downhill a while back. I had heard the owner was away travelling. However he must be back because we visited here last week and the food my friend and I had was really delicious and the pot of tea was great! Lovely seating arrangements and reasonable priced.

I ordered a ham sandwich . The staff member said it’s real cooked ham . I then was given two slices of white thin cut already sleeved bread with 3 pieces of the cheapest processed packet ham . This cost £5.45 on its own . A few leaves of salad from a bag accompanied it soaked in dressing . Tea for £2.25 was fine , nothing special

Welcome by the friendly male owner, we ordered hot chocolate, latte, garlic mushrooms, fruit scone & calamari. Everything came quickly, hot chocolate a little too sweet for me and the portion is too small, fruit scone is not nice, not the worst I ever had but it’s not nice, garlic mushroom ok, calamari also nice but only 4 in a portion (more expensive than a restaurant).

I do not like having to write this review…….I have supported this lovely cafe since it’s opening. However, of late we ( + friends) have found that unfortunately it’s not up to the previous standard it used to be. Coffee is often luke warm…..a recent bacon sandwich tasted as though it had been cooked the day before and not even warmed to serve. I keep hoping normal service will resume, but in the meantime I think I may be going elsewhere. Very sadly disappointing. ☹️. However, the scones are still very nice 😊

My mum and I have frequented the Institution a couple times now and both times we have given the dirty fries a try, hoping they'd be better than the last. Both times they haven't had much sauce on them and the cheese was very scarce. I think they'd be a lot better if sauce and toppings were more generous cause it's more so just fries with a tiny sprinkling of things on top. Other than that the coffee is absolutely lovely, just a shame about the fries :(

We were just going to go to the chippy in Bedale, but it is closed for 10 days. So decided to go here for lunch after seeing what else was available in the town, Institution looked a cut above all the other cafes and it was reasonably priced. The latte was smooth and not too bitter. Grandma’s plaice Goujon sandwich was lovely, little man’s chicken goujon and skinny fries were cooked perfectly and were well seasoned, they were crisp on the outside and soft in the centre, and my mushrooms in garlic and Stilton sauce on whole meal sourdough toast was divine. Couldn’t fault the service from lily either.

This iconic cafe and its dedicated team have been absolute superstars throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. Continually pivoting to meet the needs of the community, Institution has provided prompt deliveries of their legendary scones, grazing boxes and afternoon teas, doorstep drop-offs of specially created cocktails, and even light entertainment on social media. Truly, the team has been an integral part of getting the town through a difficult time, in spite of facing their own business-based struggles.Now it is time to re-open, and thank goodness for this beloved spot. A real home-from-home, to which it is fabulous to return. Indeed, the fact that we flock to a place called "Institution" because it is so uplifting to our collective mental health is almost as funny as the daily jokes on their Facebook page. Almost.

We were looking for somewhere that served coffee AND wine and somewhere we could just relax and watch the world go by. We have three dogs, all of which are friendly (but one who is 'barky') and it is sometimes hard to find somewhere we feel comfortable. We found a table outside and the staff brought us water for the dogs and doggy treats. We had intended just to have drinks but when we saw the menu, we decided to stay for lunch. Between us we had stilton mushrooms, sweet potato fries, mozzarella and pesto panini and cheese toastie with lovely salad. The food was delicious. The girls who served us were all lovely and made a real fuss of our three dogs. Our main waitress, Amy was especially nice and did us a very personalised receipt (which will be going into our memory box).We are on holiday and decided to try somewhere else for lunch today (please see my other reviews) but on second thoughts headed back to our little gem in Bedale. We were greeted like old friends and once again had a lovely relaxed lunch. Amy, Emily and the other staff were all amazing. We have reserved our table for breakfast tomorrow!!

After going to Bettys for Afternoon Tea last Saturday, coming here today absolutely blew them out water. Best place i have had afternoon tea at. The selling point to me is fact more sandwiches come out, good quality too not bare sparse sandwiches like most afternoon tea places, the scones were delicious and home made, the lemon mousse with raspberries was a lovely touch, the strawberry dipped in chocolate, the cakes, clearly a lot of thought and passion goes into this place by the owners and staff. Plenty of jam, cream, tons of food available for us a party of 7. They even offered us to box up remains to take home - most times you have afternoon tea its that tiny there are no remains! The staff didnt delay in topping tea up and sandwiches, we didn't have to wait they kept an eye on it without us needing to even ask for more so was a pleasant touch. Shout out to the male member of staff, very attentive and loved his comment "you're not leaving till plates are empty!" my kind of attitude at an eating place haha. Im definitely going back with other friends and relatives and us lot already arranging our next visiy, well worth the money and the service is so warm. Thanks to all there.

We planned to visit Aiskew for car fuel and decided to stop for the WOLS (Wife's Obligatory Latte Stop). I had noticed The Institute while crossing the infamous junction but this was our first visit. We went up to the first floor, looked comfy, decent amount of space between tables, clean, tidy and good decor. We ordered a variety of paninis, a pot of tea and, of course, the latte. It didn't take very long to arrive and I expected it to take a while because the place is obviously popular. That's always a good sign, I believe. Anyway, everything was perfectly fine and the cost was good.

I want to thank Nigel and Diane for our wonderful evening get together to say goodbye to my work colleagues. The quality of the grazing buffet was exceptional and nearly everyone took some home! So much choice with cheeses, cooked meats etc, it was delicious. To be able to relax with friends in the private dining room which is so tastefully decorated was an absolute pleasure. Welcome drinks were served downstairs on arrival. Such a lot of hard work, but very much appreciated thankyou.

Called in after a day at a dog agility show with our dogs for coffee and cake. We were made most welcome, the waitress brought us a little bowl of biscuits for the dogs. Lovely lemon sponge cake.

Called in to this place for a light lunch. The menu has some things with a twist to the normal run of the mill snack. I had the blue cheese, beetroot,apple and walnut salad and as well as being very tasty it was presented very well. Coffee was great and all very reasonably priced. The placed is very relaxed and has with the other floors plenty of room. I would definitely go back next time I am in the town.

Saw on trip advisor so decided to try. Absolutely delicious food and very friendly staff and owner. Kids got a few little complimentary Easter eggs which was a nice touch. Try the haloumi fries and sweet potato fries, both gorgeous.

We were visiting the Bedale car boot sale with friends and we were looking for somewhere to have lunch when it had finished. We decided to eat here and we were really glad we did! We were greeted very warmly by all the staff when we arrived and they arranged some tables so the four of us could eat together. Nothing was too much trouble. We really enjoyed our lunch and the staff were very courteous and really made us feel very welcome. It’s a great place to eat and will definitely return in the future!

Extremely pleasant staff and owner, breakfast served all day, service is quick and efficient ana great array of themed areas. Only downside is that they sell out of scones so quickly and I can never seem to get my hands on one! Would recommend as a nice place to read a book and do some work.

Traffic on A1 was dreadful so we decided to turn off and drove couple miles to Bedale. Lovely little village with lots of shops but we spied Institution Boutique Cafe. We had lovely homemade soup and sandwich lunch, some of of the nicest scones and cake we have had anywhere, washed down with generous cafeterier of house blend coffee.

This was a return visit for us - we called in last October on our last visit to Bedale. We just were wanting a cup of tea and a snack - so we opted for homemade scones, which proved to be probably the best scones ever! There were a few options, but we chose Cherry & Almond, and Date & Walnut.....superb! Check this place out if in Bedale!

We made a reservation as we were a party of 10 coming for afternoon tea. This is a busy cafe so I would advise making reservations if you are a large group. The cafe is very cosy and quaint as soon as we were seated we our afternoon tea's were served. The staff were very attentive at re-filling our drinks and very generous with sandwiches. The only reason I'm giving this 4* instead of 5 is that I didn't really like the sandwich choices but that's my personal preference. The food was all fresh and well presented. Also be warned there may be a queue for the toilets as there is only one of each and there a bit of a trek to get to!

These are absolutely great fish and chips as the large amount of people waiting inside and outside will tell you. It is well worth the wait as the food is spot on - lovely crispy batter and delicious chips. The prices are reasonable and the staff very efficient.
