The best restaurants serving British food in Ilkley Bradford Yorkshire and The Humber

Betty's can't be beaten for quality, service or value for money - simply the best !! My wife enjoyed the Grande Breakfast while I had the English breakfast, with Rösti Bites. Delicous would be an understatement. The staff are amazing and nothing is too much trouble.

Lovely setting pity the food doesn’t live up to the location. For lunch we had belly pork which was average at best. Omelette which was inedible being greasy overcooked , the ham what there was of it was burnt . Overall very disappointing.

Parked the car and fancied some lunch before shopping. Literally fell into this gem 3 metres away and it was lovely. My partner was on crutches and doesn't like the sun so, when it was too hot inside, Jane seated us around the side in the shaded terrace. Food was great and service spot on. Thanks to Jane, Amy and all the staff who were so kind.

As a regular visitor to Outside the Box, being an Ilkley resident, I always find it an uplifting experience. The food is excellent also. Contrary to the experience of one reviewer, the bacon rolls are excellent and well filled with good quality bacon. Cakes are home- made and excellent value. It is also a great place for families with young children with plenty of activities. Well worth five stars.

A charming, small venue - ideal for the two of to grab some lunch. Good food, reasonably priced, pleasant and prompt service. Would definitely call again.

Enjoyed the Saturday lunch menu. The food was as good as any other Michelin restaurant I’ve dined at. The staff were friendly, and engaging about the food and drink. I couldn’t fault it at all. I will definitely return. Next will be the Sunday lunch and then the dinner service. Very good value for money too.

Centrally located and amazing staff supporting both the hotel and restaurant. Haven't had this good of service in years while travelling. Delicious breakfast in the morning as part of your room rate and you can order anything on the menu! Portions were huge so we ordered halves after the first day. Eggs benedict were the best I have ever had.

Amazing teahouse! The atmosphere is great, service is outstanding and the menu is plentifull. The food is so nice and the coffee drinks are the best I had in Ilkley!

Personal, friendly, capable restaurant service, a lovely room with all the mod cons, comfortable bed, all was excellent.

Asked if I could have a hot chocolate with Oat milk and expected this not to be a problem, they offer a vegan food menu. I was gruffly told no, we only have ‘normal’ milk. So I guess that’s milk meant for a calf not a human. Rude and exasperating. It’s 2025 guys.

Fantastic atmosphere and a great selection of hearty meals. Will visit again!

I ordered a Terrys hot chocolate & a festive latte when sitting down I realised there were no chocolate orange slice so went back to ask for one only to be told they hadn’t any but charged me full price but didn’t tell me when I was ordering otherwise would have ordered something else

We stayed at the riverside hotel for the weekend. We could not have been happier, the rooms are lovely and clean, tge breakfast is lovely. We had an evening meal here one evening and not one of us had any complaint about anything. It's perfect. The man who was serving us and chatting to us made it even more enjoyable ( sorry I didn't get your name) he was chatty , informed and a pleasure to talk to. Thank you from Dave, june, Alwyn, Joanne, paul and Pauline. ( the trouble)

I visit this store about once a fortnight - with my elderly mother as it’s easy to park and her mobility isn’t great . The food and service are below average but I am limited in Ilkley as to where I can take her. I just have to suffer the poor service and often terrible food) and my mother ( who has dementia is unaware of the majority of what is going on ) - I do not wish to discuss this matter further ( please don’t give me the e mail details when responding to this review). If management cannot see they have very serious issues in the way this cafe operates from the amount of terrible reviews they have received then that says it all ! I would like to thank the staff member who works on the door entrance for helping my mum across the very icy and slippery car park - the staff have done an amazing job to clear the whole car park of snow , making it so much safer for customers.
