The best restaurants in Mashamshire Harrogate Yorkshire and The Humber

After a short walk around Masham we visited the kings head and had a Lovely lunch with extremely friendly staff, Gaye and Chris , will definitely return 🙂

Had the 8oz home made burger with Bavon, cheese, onion rings and chips. £14.50 Wow was it good- yes it was superb! Dont think I'm eating again today! Had previously visited on June and wasnt disappointed on either visit. Well worth a visit. Good menu choice and Volkers humour is priceless.

Ambience, service and food were all first rate. A great little menu and everything from nibbles to dessert were prepared and served to perfection. We’ll definitely be back soon.

Utterly divine food. Really original flavours. Great presentation and service. Totally top notch. Highly recommended. The best food for miles around.

We have eaten here a few times after walking in the local area. We had a dismal experience at breakfast at the Kings Head close by so we went here as it opened and had a great English breakfast. It was fresh, well served and the pace is a bit quirky but comfortable and you are always made to feel welcome.

We came to the Bay horse on a weekend away with my partner and I cannot praise this place enough. I am disabled and as soon as the hosts realised this they changed our room to make things more accessible. They also squeezed us in for dinner that night on short notice and were so welcoming. The food was lovely and the room was spot on! We could have as many top ups of tea, coffee, sugar etc as wanted and the bed was extremely comfy and huge.! We were also offered help with our bags to the car due to Tony having to do everything on his own. What a Fabulous couple!. We will be back without a doubt. Even the cost is very budget friendly and we were given until 11am, an hour more than most places to leave the room in the morning. Thank you both for a lovely stay...... Collette and Tony

A very nice and friendly place. It was quite busy when I first went in but I was welcomed and shown a seat. I only had a tea and a scone but they were excellent quality. The toilet was clean and tidy. The building is Grade II listed and there were a number of old pictures of it on the wall. Will definitely return if I'm ever in Ripon again.

Second visit and it didn’t disappoint. The menu was interesting, the food beautifully presented and delicious, the service relaxed, friendly, warm and attentive. The location is stunning and the grounds perfect for a post lunch stroll. Here’s the icing on the cake… having not double checked he’d be ok in the restaurant (remiss of us, I know…) we arrived with our dog in tow… the front desk team were amazing! Bruno was whisked away and babysat in the office - phew, and talk about above and beyond. The team at Swinton are the friendliest, most can do and authentically warm I think I’ve ever come across. P.s. perhaps for those planning a visit perhaps don’t plan on your pooch being looked after unless you’ve checked before - don’t want to start a trend…😱 A perfect Sunday lunch. Thank you all.

We called in last week for a refresher after a riverside walk,we both had hot chocolate and i had fruit cake with wensleydale cheese and my wife had teacake everything was lovely and the service from Sharon was excellent.Today we called in for lunch,my wife ordered a cheese and onion panini and i had chicken curry.My wife really enjoyed her panini served with salad and coleslaw and the curry was served with rice,chips,mango chutney and a poppadom, both were very tasty,the curry was superb,chips and rice well cooked and the service was very good.A lot of locals use the tearoom which to me says all you need to know.

Ate here after a terrible experience at the Bay Horse which has gone down all of a sudden. By far this pub is the best one in the small town portion sizes were plentiful and the service was “proper” after reading other reviews it looks like this one is the place to go to for local folk aswell as travel seekers. Keep up the hard work! 😊

A very enjoyable couple of nights stay. The food & service was fantastic. Scott & staff were the perfect hosts. Room exceptionally clean & spacious. Many Thanks.

Gluten free review for the cafe: I visited the Druid’s Temple today and went to the cafe for lunch afterwards. Gluten free cakes and sandwiches were available. I had an ultimate hot chocolate and a trout and cream cheese sandwich (GF bread), and I’m sad to say that neither were very flavourful. The hot chocolate was weak and watery, and the sandwich was very dry. It’s a shame because the setting is so beautiful! A word to cross contamination, I have reacted to the food that I had, so I suspect that the chopping board used for my sandwich may not have been cleaned down before preparing my food (or similar). There was also a gluten free chocolate brownie which was in the same cabinet next to gluten containing cakes, with tongs that customers could use to select their own cakes, but no separate gluten free pair. If anyone from the cafe happens to read this, from coeliacs and gluten free people everywhere please could you make sure that cross contamination risk is limited through simple measures such as cleaning down a surface before making gluten free food (we don’t mind waiting a bit longer for piece of mind!), and that GF cakes and sweet treats are kept separate and using separate tongs etc? When we find places that don’t gluten us we share it heavily in the community!

Despite talking to the owners about dining we weren't advised of the need to book, so, when we turned up and the place was half empty we could get nothing but an overpriced drink. The prices didn't seem to stop some of the locals from quaffing ill-advised quantities of beer, lager and spirits and then driving home

Filthy! If you want to eat in the most disgusting environment then this is your place. The floor looked liked it hasn’t been cleaned for weeks. The chairs are stained and full of debris. No tables cleared.

We have being visiting this cafe for over 15 years and always enjoyed visisting with family. The team in the yellow uniforms were always friendly and the prices VERY resonable. We enjoyed Xmas luches here and have great memories playing crazy / mini golf. Visited today hoping to enyoy cake and a latte, but noticed new owners have taken over. Sadly not a patch on previous set up and sorry to say the wonerful home made baking was replaced with uninspiring offerings. Latte was the worsed i have had in many years, can only be described it as white coffee, the owner was unimpressed and rude with me asking for a replacement. Will not be returning.
