The best restaurants in Craven Yorkshire and The Humber

The Cavendish Pavilion cafe is in a beautiful location with superb amenities. I have been organising group trips for a local charity for several years, and the food, staff and facilities at the Cavendish Pavilion are superb and meet all our requirements. We have enjoyed a range of sandwiches of various fillings followed by delicious home-baked cakes. Our group often comments on how tasty the homemade scones are, served with clotted cream and jam. My particular favourite is the lemon drizzle cake or a new favourite, an almond slice. Ruth and Craig, two of the staff who work at The Cavendish Pavilion, are warm, friendly, and professional and look after our group well. It isn't always easy to please everyone when it's a group event but both Ruth and Craig have provided outstanding service and managed our groups various preferences with a professional can do attitude. Our group has been delighted with the recent events, and we look forward to returning to the autumn and again in 2025.

2 visits in a week because the food was good, bar staff friendly, nice atmosphere - car park just over the road Market days are busy

Went for meal with 3 friends. After ordering, 2 meals arrived and then we were told we would have to wait about ten minutes for the other 2 meals so we started eating otherwise would go cold. One of the meals - prawn peperonata - eventually arrived but the pasta was hard, chewy, undercooked and cold. It also had a very strong flavour of garlic and chilli, not enjoyable but edible - the menu said a pinch of chilli flakes. Also concerned about the prawns being cold. My friend asked to return it and the rest of us started eating our food as it would have gone cold. We had all finished eating by the time my friend’s second pasta dish arrived. It was now piping hot and the pasta cooked properly. However, the flavour was extremely strong with garlic and chilli - to the point that it couldn’t be eaten. There was far more than a pinch of chilli flakes and it was far stronger than the previous dish which had been cold and hard. I tried 2 pieces of pasta and it was inedible with the overpowering flavour of garlic & chilli flakes. Because of this my friend couldn't eat the second plate of food either. The waitress was very apologetic & understanding, even though it wasn’t her fault, and said to my friend she was really sorry & it wasn’t nice for her. They didn’t charge for the 2 inedible meals and my friend ended up leaving the restaurant having not eaten anything at all - having been served 2 dishes which were inedible. I really don’t understand what is happening in the kitchens as the quality of food served was unacceptable and I have read other reviews of undercooked food. I have never been out for a meal before when somebody has been served 2 plates of inedible food and left a restaurant having not eaten. Definitely won’t be returning and it’s put me off going to any other Pizza Express now.

We dropped in at the end of our walk on the off chance we could get some food. The staff were super accommodating and seated 11 of us in the restaurant. The waiting staff were so lovely, customer service goes a long way and the two waitresses that served us were great! All 11 of us had our food come out together, it was fresh and hot! Just what we needed after 12 hours of walking! Coming on here to review I was very surprised by other reviews, as we had a lovely experience! Thank you for accommodating and feeding some very tired and hungry walkers!!

We hadn't been to the Dales for a long time, but being up north for a family celebration we decided to have a few days in Kettlewell and stay at the Cottage Tea Room for a B&B. We were glad we did. Mike and Jaynie were very friendly and welcoming hosts, our room was comfortable (with a very nice bathroom) and Mike cooked an excellent breakfast every day - our dogs appreciated the sausages Mike kindly gave them! Thoroughly recommended.

Visited mid week (9th Aug) to grab a takeaway, before I’d even stepped foot inside the shop a black B Class Mercedes drew up directly outside, boot opened and the driver pulled out a large clear bag (size of a bin bag) of raw chicken legs & thighs literally dripping/ leaking with blood and other raw chicken liquids (sorry). The boot liner was awash with leakage from the bag - no refrigeration in sight. The stuff of nightmares. A man appeared at the shop door (a chef?) in filthy clothes, the bag was carried across the pavement, up the steps, into the shop with a trail of chicken blood and raw liquid leaking everywhere - unbelievable. Further food and stock for the shop was retrieved from the contaminated car boot, whilst empty trays & boxes were put back into the car. Plus there were kids in the back seats! I have never seen so many hygiene contraventions so blatantly and so openly revealed in full view. Disgusting, frightening, unacceptable, dangerous. I attempted to speak to the person behind the counter to ask that they at least disinfect the shop floor and outside area but they ignored me!!! Avoid at all costs - I did, and have contacted Environmental Health. I like to support local business in Settle but not at any cost.

My second review. Had a poor experience here in September 2023 but my daughter wanted to try it as such a good spot after the waterfall walk. Customer service much much better. We had cake, cheese scone and coffees. All good. Happy to give them a second chance and it was much much better

Great service and fantastic desserts... will deffo be visiting again... Battenburg Cheesecakes are AMAZING!

Sat with a friend about to get some lunch . Member of staff sat picking scabs off his arms onto the table 🤮 then left the table . By the looks of his arms according to health and safety they most definitely should have been covered up . After attempting to eat after 10mins left feeling rather unwell . Absolutely disgusting.

Ordered scrambled egg on toast and I was disgusting. The eggs were like rubber and it was left on the hot plate after cooking for 3-4 mins because nobody would pick it up and bring too us. The staff have no get up and go. They walk past dirty tables leaving used crockery on the table so nobody else can sit there. Worse cafe ever been in.

Visited this Burger King in May ( 7.40pm ) stood inside waiting to be served one person in front of us being served, then the assistant disappeared through the back stood for another 10 mins. then another obnoxious female assistant barged through hands on the counter and said in a shocking manner " we are shut ". Still ten mins to go by the way. This has to be the worst Burger King !!!

Worst ever in 40 years - soggy white batter - rock hard cardboard chips - so bad it doesn't deserve 1 star - 6.70 down the drain - an absolute disgrace

Got a pizza each of one of the deals but added stuffed crust on both, well very pale under cooked dough, crust just tasted of garlic, not cheese, the tomato sauce they use on the base is disgusting, very sour tasting, topping was just thrown on, not very warm and all for 23.99, not worth it at all!!! Very expensive for poor quality food, i ate 1 slice, was revolting, never again!!!!

The worst dining experience we’ve had for a long time. The waitress who I can only assume is the owner (paid staff just wouldn’t behave like this) was so rude and abrupt overpriced mediocre food , needless to say we will not be returning here.

Ordered food through just eat app, upon delivery sandwich missing and a steak bake and a free sausage roll. Tried ringing, just kept cutting of, no one answering, so one of us missed out on lunch, disgusting!!!!!!
