I’ve been coming here for a couple of years now, usually riding in from Wigan during the summer. It used to be a decent little stop, but lately, the service has gone downhill—fast. The staff are just plain rude now. I don’t know if it’s because we’re bikers or what, but the attitude is clear. Cold, unwelcoming, and miserable. Today was the last straw. They’ve got some bizarre issue with people eating outside. Unless you specifically say you're eating outside, they don’t tell you you’ll be charged more. I always thought the extra fee applied only to eating inside. I buy my food, sit outside, and suddenly I’m being told—again—that I should have said something. Why? What's the logic? It feels like a trap to squeeze more money out of people who just want to enjoy their lunch in the sun. And the staff today? Absolutely no excuse. The older lady behind the counter was downright nasty to a frail old man who just wanted a cheese pie. She wouldn’t even walk around to help him find it. Just stood there, blank-faced and unbothered. It was honestly hard to watch. The younger woman wasn’t much better—snappy, passive-aggressive, just zero effort in basic customer service. If you don’t like bikers, say it. Put it on the website, slap a sign on the front door. Don’t take our money and then treat us like dirt. This place has lost whatever charm it used to have. I won’t be coming back, and I’ll make sure my mates know not to bother either.

La Locanda is, undoubtedly, the best Italian restaurant in the UK. Why? 4 reasons: 1. Outstanding food The most authentic, always outstandingly delicious Italian food - our favourites are bruschetta, scallops, spaghetti allo scoglio, wild sea bass and wild sea trout. Maurizio is a hugely talented agrichef, who sources 75% of ingredients locally. His passion for quality, local sourcing and for using seasonal produce (and Extra Virgin Olive Oil) is a joy to behold! 2. Service Cinzia is a delightful, charming hostess - welcoming, friendly and professional. Her wider team are warm and attentive. 3. Ambiance A beautiful converted weavers cottage lends the ambiance a rustic, cosy, wonderfully romantic charm 4. Unique La Locanda is unique. Very rarely can you find a restaurant that has award-winning, authentic, world class food, wonderfully attentive service and a fabulous ambiance. Also worth mentioning the many extra special touches - ever changing daily specials, palette-cleansing sorbet between courses and delicious Italian chocolate truffles/chocolate served with the best coffee outside Italy! Finally, the La Locanda team go above and beyond to accommodate my often difficult, medical diet (gluten-free, dairy free, pescatarian). Maurizio and Cinzia are passionate restaurateurs who deliver a unique, truly Italian experience. We feel truly lucky to live close to this exceptional restaurant and have been enjoying monthly dinners there for 19 years. Grazie Mille!

We had a lovely Sunday lunch here to celebrate a 60th wedding anniversary in the family. The staff serving us were wonderful and I have to give special mention to Dave in particular who went above and beyond to assist with less able members of our group. The food was very nice - roast beef done to perfection meaning it was clean plates all around. Being perfectly happy to bring a cake out for us and also giving the couple a present for their diamond anniversary is a mark of pure class - thank you!

Fantastic food and excellent service

Quaint family run coffee shop in the heart of Skipton. Offering hot , cold drinks along with cakes or smaller breakfast items . Service very good and the coffee very good. Will go back

Ordered lunch for pick up. The staff was really nice and we were able to pick up the order on time. And the place looked cool. We ordered spicy wings, Regis burger, byo gluten free pizza, Cobb salad. With the exception of the Cobb salad (dressing nice), the food was quite mediocre. and they got some modifications wrong- I had asked for no cheese on my burger but there was cheese. The wings were dry, and the tater tots that came with the burger was also quite dry. It’s fine for a work lunch if you want a fresh salad.

Came twice once on a Saturday night food was great seabass was yum !!!! Puddings great too. Then came on a Sunday. Pre ordered roasts so that was good. Great subday roast couldn't complain at all and great caul cheese sides !
