The best restaurants in Gargrave and Malhamdale Craven Yorkshire and The Humber

We called here today the 18th March at 13.20 we were made very welcome by the the attentive staff. The fish and chips were of excellent quality and cooked fresh . A added bonus is that they are dog friendly in the restaurant part of this excellent establishment. If you are in the area head for the frying Yorkshire man and enjoy excellent service a very warm welcome and of course the food which is 5star

If you find yourself in Malham, I would recommend making the effort to walk the short distance up Finkle Street, out of the village centre to the Cawden Barn Coffee & Bakehouse. You won't be disappointed, great place not only for coffee and cake but also sandwiches, lunch etc. 👍👍

We went on a Sunday morning for breakfast sandwiches. It was very busy so we had a bit of a wait before we received them. They were worth the wait as they tasted delicious. Someone even brought them out to our car for us. A great start to the morning.

We visited booking a spa day to celebrate my birthday which included lunch. The food was delicious and very well presented with helpful staff. I ate salmon with sticky rice. My husband had chicken with noodles. My husband had an array of mini desserts on his plate. I had a delightful cheesecake.

My wife and I went there to celebrate her birthday. The welcome was good and so was the atmosphere. The food was excellent and until then we enjoyed our visit. The turnaround came when the waitress, who until then was attentive and competent, told us that we had overstayed our time slot and basically she told us to leave now. This totally spoiled the experience for us and we will certainly never ever return to this place again. You don't go to Le Caveau just for the food but the experience, well until now.

Straight forward pub food done with real style and flavour. I had gammon steak with beef dripping chips - best gammon I have ever had! Oh and great beer

The latte tasted like dishwater and the owner was very patronising. It’s a shame because it’s a great location and opportunity to get it right. He needs to learn how to speak to people.

We go out once a week for a treat (not easy in the current financial climate). We decided to visit Macleods Restaurant for lunch. The staff were great, very helpful and pleasant throughout. But we felt let down with the food. There are only 5 main courses on offer, yet one was not available (the burger) as it had not been delivered! Really, you can’t manage to have 5 options delivered and available. We both had the fish and chips, and both of us found the batter heavy and greasy, so we left the batter. Finally, we discovered on paying that a 10% tip was added without notifying us or mentioning it in any way; it was just added to the bill and then included in the total. You shouldn’t just include it in the total and it is not acceptable to put customers in the position of having to ask you to remove a tip from the bill. Money is tight enough without this type of practice, so sadly we won’t be visiting again.

Had such a pleasant experience, all the staff are very nice and attentive. The GM is brilliant and makes sure youre well looked after so thank you. The food is delicious, nice big portions and super tasty. Can't wait to come back next time :).

Ady and his team delivered another brilliant meal for us last night - chicken madras, keema biriyani and a garlic naan - boom - plus a starter of king prawns - superb - thankyou to all the team who do a great job A loved it !!

Lovely little cafe with a few added treats in the form of bunting to buy or order extremely reasonable priced….chance to paint pottery …a few other Yorkshire treats. We had breakfast which was lovely I had the Vegetarian Breakfast …my Hubbie had a Breakfast Bap & my 2 Spaniels had 4 sausages between them. Extremely friendly staff, good food & extremely good value for money thoroughly recommend & will be revisiting later in the year when we come back for a long weekend. A little gem.

Friendly staff. Lovely country style decor. And top quality food. I really don’t know what else you can ask for. Spot on.

I had my eye on this restaurant for a while and finally got the chance to visit as I was staying nearby. The location is lovely, really scenic and peaceful and the food was incredible. I went for the Sunday roast with chicken seitan with all the trimmings and a sticky toffee pudding for dessert. I couldn't fault anything. I also had a local lager which was delicious. I would recommend this place to vegans and non vegans alike and will definitely revisit when I'm back in the area.

The food is absolutely incredible! We are all well travelled and have been very well fed in our time in some of the world’s best restaurants, and so we had decent expectations when coming to The View, a rosetted restaurant. To be honest when I arrived I thought the decor was lacklustre and the menu sounded like a country pub tick list, but don’t judge a book by its cover! It’s so much more! The quality of the ingredients and the skill and care in the cookery made everything shine through with complete, exquisite excellence. In particular the steak quality and cookery, and the desserts. All to die for! I also enjoyed that on what sounded as something fairly simple on the menu was executed to perfection with classic cookery, but then there would be a little pop of a flavour detail and/or technique that could have come from one of the top restaurants in London, that just added that bit of sparkle to elevate and make it special. The service is a little eccentric but on the other hand very charming and polite! The View is everything you would expect from a top quality, locally sourced, comfortable, countryside culinary experience. Perfect as a mid-week treat or as a relaxed haunt at the weekend. Definitely coming back!

Wonderful hotel! Super lovely staff. Great food and refreshing drinks. Really comfy rooms with colourful paintings on the walls. Perfect location for a weekend getaway. Beautiful views surrounding you as you enter the village. Super peaceful and quiet in Malham. Lovely village! Swimmingly river over the bridge. Great little visitor centre. Lovely flowers on the tables in the hotel. Easy to find. Super walkative to the large and massive Malham Cove. Parking is terrible and gets so clogged up if you don't arrive early. Loved staying at Lister Arms and walking through Malham village! 10/10
