The best restaurants in Settle and Ribblebanks Craven Yorkshire and The Humber

We had visited 3 years before and remembered an good experience and we were not disappointed on our return. We both decided to go for soup and a sandwich combo, expecting 1/2 a sandwich at the price. We were both surprised when the fresh made to order sandwiches came fully stacked, no half measures. The Cauliflower Chowder was amazing and we both rated it the best thing we’d tasted this holiday. The service was friendly and relaxed and the atmosphere light and airy. I shouldn’t say too much otherwise it might be packed next time we visit.

Great food - exactly what you want from a Chinese takeaway. Salt and pepper ribs are delicious!

We were a party of 16 and Michelle and the team couldn't have been more helpful even putting up some balloons for the 80th birthday we were in Giggleswick to celebrate. The food was fantastic and reasonably priced. Would highly recommended if you are in the area.

Gorgeous little cafe with super friendly staff. I ordered a GF toastie and the owner came to check whether it was an intolerance or an allergy, which I really appreciated! The food was absolutely delicious and my friend and I felt so comfortable. Highly recommend!

We called a few times during our short stay. Elegant and comfy. Service here was brilliant bar staff are great. Lovely wine choices and reasonably priced. The Rioja is very good, so good we had 2 bottles. Dog friendly too.

Much to our disappointment, this place has sadly closed after the greedy landlord hiked up the rent. The lovely coffee we were looking forward to is alas no more.

Wonderful evening at this cosy restaurant, the owner Mateo and his charming assistant being so friendly and accommodating. Delicious food, will definitely return when back in the area.

We were a group of seven - all family - visiting for Sunday lunch. It was lovely to be together. The pub is nicely decorated, and has a lovely feel about it. It has atmosphere, it has different rooms, it has nooks and crannies! The bar itself is small but well stocked. The food was excellent! I had the trio Sunday lunch, which had a slice of beef, a slice of pork, and a small chicken breast. All beautifully cooked, and tasty. The Yorkshire Pudding and the gravy were just perfect. The only downside to the meal was the service. For the price (which was okay because of the quality of the food) I was expecting a slightly more attentive staff. The team (especially the gentleman with the accent) was friendly but I felt they could have done with at least one more server. Overall, the pub and the food made for a pleasant get together.

I first visited this Fish and chip shop 20 plus years ago it was excellent then It's still very good today the cod and chips were very good and cooked fresh while I waited .. It does get busy in the small shop so you can expect to wait.

Beware if there is only 2 of you wanting to eat out here. Waiter refused to let us sit on a table for 4 because there was only 2 of us. There were 3 empty tables for 4 plus 1 table for 2, but that was pushed up to the service counter and that was the table the waiter offered us. We didn't want to sit immediatly next to where customers would be hovering over us whilst paying for and collecting take-aways and where the phone was ringing and conversations between the waiter and customers were regularly taking place. When he said we couldn't sit elsewhere, I said 'we'll leave it then'. Then the waiter responded, in a sarcastic voice, with a 'BYEEE'. So that's a loss of income for them of between £1500-£1700 over the next year as we would have called in for a sit down meal for two every fortnight, plus a takeaway for two once a fortnight. We then had a meal at one of their competitors and then walked around Settle before heading off home. Whilst walking around Settle we looked into the Spice restaurant again to see if all the tables that we had been refused the use of, had now been taken. There were still 3 tables for 4 that were empty, plus the same table for 2, that is pushed up to the counter, was also empty. PS We had been to the Spice a fortnight earlier and the same waiter had tried to have us sit at the same table by the counter. On that occasion we asked if we could sit on another table and when he said no, we asked 'why not?' He then said 'ok' and we sat elsewhere. We didn't want to go through the same 'negotiation' for a second time. It's dimple, if they don't value us as customers then we'll spend our money elsewhere.

No food ordered, just there for the beer. Super service, felt like a local

Nice food and no issues with any of it for a large table of us. Staff friendly. We had a mixture of hot food and cake, all was very good and we enjoyed it all. Thanks and keep up the good work

We stopped here on the way back to Scotland after a few days in the Dales. It was a late lunch and the place was about a third full. The staff were friendly and welcomed us in. Decor is like a homely. The menu consists mainly of local dishes, but I just went for the cheese and mushroom toastie, and a latte. The cheddar was pretty much what you'd expect, with a tangy and robust taste. To be honest a toastie is hard to get wrong anyway.

We visited this chippy twice on our four nights stay about ten miles from Settle. We both had the Small fish and chips special what i thought was excellent value. We both had as an extra a tub of fruity curry sauce which was lovely . So much so we had the same order for our second visit. The young lady who served me was really pleasant and friendly. She also served me again the second time and was really nice asking how my holiday had been etc. If i’m ever up this way again i will definitely pay a visit.

We got here at basically 6pm so not exactly late. We had tang days in advice and requested to book a table as there was 12 of us, told don't need to don't worry and we don't really do reservations. Got here and struggled to any seating for a party our size so has to seat across four tables. To then overhear a party kicking off who had reserved because someone had sat at there table (not us but this was happening near the bar). After having a holiday home with food left on the microwave, no clean bedding and hadn't been cleaned we were offered 6 free drinks by reception. Got here and the manager had no clue what we were on about. Then we ordered food to be told 30 min wait (it was much longer). Considering how long we waited every single dish was tepid warm at best. The 'buckets' are six very skinny goujions and not worth the money. None of the food came out together. Half of us hadn't eaten whole the other half have had nothing. Half the menu was already out of stock also. Overall it was a cluster to say the least. Clearly not bothered with customer service, don't care about customers and as I write this my husband and kids and half my family have finished eating whilst me and my dad have still not had any food. This was meant to be us going out for my brother's big 30th and to be honest it's been s**t. Thanks for ruining my bros 30th crow in.
