The best restaurants serving British food in Gargrave and Malhamdale Craven Yorkshire and The Humber

This isn't full on fine dining, but nor is it standard fare. It sits somewhere in-between. Service is first class and very friendly. The subterranean dining room is very pleasant and comfortable and feels very intimate. We had the 5 course taster menu and wine flight for under £100 each, which felt like good value for money. The menu changes every month which is great for repeat business. The chef comes out and asks you what you felt about the food at the end of your meal, which was appreciated. The pudding was my least favourite course, but the canapes and the other four courses were very nice. If I were to offer some advice, it would be to add some carbohydrate and vegetables to the main course. Would I come back ? Definitely, but probably go a la carte next time.

We called here today the 18th March at 13.20 we were made very welcome by the the attentive staff. The fish and chips were of excellent quality and cooked fresh . A added bonus is that they are dog friendly in the restaurant part of this excellent establishment. If you are in the area head for the frying Yorkshire man and enjoy excellent service a very warm welcome and of course the food which is 5star

Stayed here for two nights, mid week out of season so well priced. Barn conversion approx 200 yds from the pub. Nearly double when we stayed in October. Pub area has open fires and lots of dogs. Restaurant dog free 👍🏻 great service from a well trained team. Breakfast was excellent with fantastic coffee freshly ground. Dropped a star due to slight niggles in the room, window blind hook hanging off and rusty bath handle otherwise a lovely place. Loved the open fire in the barn. We would return if in Malham. Walks, Janet’s foss waterfall then back via the famous cove. Even the weather was kind 🥳

Popped in for lunch with my parents after a great walk. Great food and lovely welcoming staff. We had a toastie which was served with a generous salad and chips…just what we needed! Ended up staying for another cuppa and huge chunk of cake! Delicious 🤩

Received excellent customer service . Confusion over food purchase. Without question the item was posted the same day. A most pleasant and helpful encounter.

I had my eye on this restaurant for a while and finally got the chance to visit as I was staying nearby. The location is lovely, really scenic and peaceful and the food was incredible. I went for the Sunday roast with chicken seitan with all the trimmings and a sticky toffee pudding for dessert. I couldn't fault anything. I also had a local lager which was delicious. I would recommend this place to vegans and non vegans alike and will definitely revisit when I'm back in the area.

We go out once a week for a treat (not easy in the current financial climate). We decided to visit Macleods Restaurant for lunch. The staff were great, very helpful and pleasant throughout. But we felt let down with the food. There are only 5 main courses on offer, yet one was not available (the burger) as it had not been delivered! Really, you can’t manage to have 5 options delivered and available. We both had the fish and chips, and both of us found the batter heavy and greasy, so we left the batter. Finally, we discovered on paying that a 10% tip was added without notifying us or mentioning it in any way; it was just added to the bill and then included in the total. You shouldn’t just include it in the total and it is not acceptable to put customers in the position of having to ask you to remove a tip from the bill. Money is tight enough without this type of practice, so sadly we won’t be visiting again.

The food is absolutely incredible! We are all well travelled and have been very well fed in our time in some of the world’s best restaurants, and so we had decent expectations when coming to The View, a rosetted restaurant. To be honest when I arrived I thought the decor was lacklustre and the menu sounded like a country pub tick list, but don’t judge a book by its cover! It’s so much more! The quality of the ingredients and the skill and care in the cookery made everything shine through with complete, exquisite excellence. In particular the steak quality and cookery, and the desserts. All to die for! I also enjoyed that on what sounded as something fairly simple on the menu was executed to perfection with classic cookery, but then there would be a little pop of a flavour detail and/or technique that could have come from one of the top restaurants in London, that just added that bit of sparkle to elevate and make it special. The service is a little eccentric but on the other hand very charming and polite! The View is everything you would expect from a top quality, locally sourced, comfortable, countryside culinary experience. Perfect as a mid-week treat or as a relaxed haunt at the weekend. Definitely coming back!

We had a wonderful meal at the Victoria. The pub is cosy and a great spot for a bite. The service was great, super warm and friendly (and very accommodating of all our requests). We were a group of 7, everyone loved the food. I especially liked my cheese and spinach pie, and the sticky toffee pudding was delicious. Would definitely recommend.

Had duck ramen there yesterday. So much looked forward to it. But it turned out to be worst meal in my entire life, which also costed £16. I can’t believe that people seriously CAN’T cook and charge £16 for it. In my life I was in so many places for ramen and probably have high expectations, but this meal looked like it was made by a child, with soya sous all over it 🙄 won’t even say how it tasted. Two stars for the nice atmosphere.

Great place to take a break if you're driving along the A65. Right on yhe main road through the village and directly opposite a free car park. Full of character, friendly staff, office service and a good selection of cakes.

We stayed overnight in one of the freshly decorated rooms. From arrival to departure we were extremely well looked after by Richard, Amy and their team. The room was spacious and spotless and as advertised. The bar area had a great atmosphere and there was a great selection of real ales, ciders and beers. We ate in the evening and the food was spot on, certainly not shy with portion sizes. We sat and talked to Richard the landlord later in the evening and it is clear that Richard and Amy have big plans - I wish them every success, we will 100% be back. Highly recommend!

Online menu offers a selection of hot beverages. Staff said they do not serve tea, coffee, or hot chocolate. Staff very rude so all 5 of us left. Seemed odd that a hotel would not serve these on a cold wet December day. It will put us off going there again.

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.
