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.

Our 3rd visit to this wonderful place (formerly Vennells restaurant)……..from the minute you email regarding a reservation, you feel welcome. The restaurant is small, but that adds to the experience and ambience……the subtle music combined with quiet conversation ……..perfect. The staff are unobtrusive, yet attentive and clearly knowledgeable and enthused with the food they are serving. The tasting menu is a treat for all the senses, with the element of smoke running through the courses. A small wine menu, reasonably priced……beautiful Portuguese Rose which complemented the food. From the canapés to the final sweet treat, you are left excited and amazed……..indeed a most talented chef preparing the most amazing food…..he will surely go far. A small village with such a fabulous restaurant….PERFECT!! Added to this we stayed at The Bay Horse next door……literally 10 steps away!! Thank you everyone for a fabulous evening, we will see you next time xx

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

Good range of dishes from small to large. Panini was very good! Salad served with it. Crisps come with sandwiches too! Very good range of cakes too!

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.

Restaurant was nice sat down ordered our food unfortunately for us it was a disaster,one of our party ordered rare beef and it came well done but not only that it all came and was cold especially after waiting for the vegetables, and the Yorkshire pudding was crispy to burnt. It certainly wouldn’t inspire us to go back very underwhelming.

Excellent tea room! Good sized cup of coffee, excellent sandwich )Wensleydale cheese etc), prompt service with a smile too!

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.
