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

A lovely converted church that has a lot of character and is in a very nice location. Excellent for walkers and visitors. Staff were very friendly and polite 🏆

Came for lunch today and the food and service was absolutely fantastic. We are local and have been for dinner a couple of times but never for lunch. Its definitely one of the best restaurants in Skipton for sure.

We called in for a beer and enjoyed a lovely Sunday roast at the Pinnacle on father's day. Good beers on tap and really good tasty Sunday roast. I opted for the lamb roast and everything was freshly cooked to high standard. The homemade mint sauce was awesome and perfect to go with the lamb roast. I would have liked to try a dessert but felt full have a starter and Sunday roast. Friendly guys that run the place, if we get back to cowling I would definitely eat and drink here again. Thanks

What an amazing place…Probably the best food I’ve ever had. We stayed in room 1, Lovely cosy room with an amazing bath, quality bedding and towels. But the jewel in this crown is the food. Every course was spot on, the service was excellent, the staff were very knowledgeable including the bar manager. So a big Thankyou to Sue & John

Superb food, great atmosphere. A proper old fashioned pub with clean well decorated and warm rooms

Great Fish & Chips and the young lady who served us was Hollie she is Credit to The Fisherman Restaurant. I would definitely recommend to My Family & Friends.

Absolutely fantastic tapas and amazing staff.... Outstanding 👏👏👏

Stayed at The Lister Arms for a couple of nights mid week. We stayed in the Lister Barn which is a 2 minute walk from the actual pub. Cosy and warm, tastefully decorated with lovely toiletries - a real gem of a place. The main pub is really cosy, with a gorgeous fire burning all day and evening. Breakfast and dinner here were both really good with large portions. Lots of dogs inside the bar area too which was lovely. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely return.

Haven’t been in for a few years as we’d heard it had been taken over and standards had slipped, they certainly hadn’t slipped! It was a packed Thursday lunch, full of ladies due to attend a function however the friendly waitress found a table for us and our two dogs in the snug. I ordered fish cake starter with triple cooked chips as I didn’t want a main course and my husband ordered club sandwich and chips. There was way too much food and we could’ve happily shared the chips and still left some. You certainly don’t leave hungry. Only two negatives, I used to love the steak pudding but it’s no longer on the menu and secondly a hot fish cake on top of a piece of iceberg lettuce doesn’t work. There was no need for the lettuce as it was slimy due to the hot fish cake. The refurbishment is lovely without losing the character of the pub. We won’t leave it so long next time.

The Craven Arms in Appletreewick is more than just a pub – it’s a destination for anyone visiting the Dales. Whether you’re looking to enjoy a pint by the fire, a hearty meal after a day of hiking, or a cosy atmosphere to unwind, The Craven Arms delivers on all fronts. It’s the kind of place that feels timeless, offering a genuine taste of Yorkshire charm that’s hard to find elsewhere. The food was excellent, you can tell that they use quality ingredients and source it as locally as possible. The front of house staff really made the experience for us as they were al charming and hilarious. I don't think I've ever enjoyed interacting with pub staff more to be honest. Ivo is an absolute joy.

Well, to start with, the staff made us very welcome and were efficient, kind and knowledgeable. The pub was very comfortable to be in. Beers outstanding, my other half said the wine was brilliant too, good quality and served to perfection. All service was with a smile. I am a creature of habit and when gammon is available I choose that with the eggs and fries, this was perfect. My other half (keeps telling me it should be 'the wife' or my best mate, had the salmon and that disappeared! Would recommend to anyone who wants good and I mean very good food at very reasonable prices. After the quality and amount of the main meal I also recommend the creme brullee. A very delicious and satisfying belly filler!

Great coffee and superb cheese scones! A lovely place to stop off on our walks. Need to return for lunch as the meals coming out looked amazing. Good ambience and enjoyed the autumn pumpkin decorations.

Absolute gem of a find. Lovely friendly staff. Excellent food , everything was delicious could not fault. We will return in the near future,

Great family meal. What a gem of a place. Cool vibe, great menu and drinks. Excellent authentic pizzas and divine salads. Sabine and her mum offer excellent food and service. Well worth a visit.

Excellent meal just had with my wife. Visited Skipton for first time, and had lunch here, and so glad we did. Top quality food, roast with all the trimmings. Great value for money, no wonder the place was full. Will certainly be returning, and strongly recommend for anyone, that wants clean, wholesome food, at a reasonable price.
