The best restaurants serving British food in Ripon Minster Harrogate Yorkshire and The Humber

Have been to Chimes before on visits to Ripon and always enjoy it. The owner is a really nice man who was rushing around but always makes you feel welcome. Best ham salad sandwich with salad and crisps I've had in ages. Owner told me off for putting too much salt on my food (like my husband at home) but all very good humoured. Lovely spotless quaint and pretty tea room. Looking forward to going back in the New Year and will be taking some of the gorgeous scones home with me too.

A wonderful find. Spotlessly clean, very good range of food priced appropriately. The spinach, spiced cauliflower & lentil pie was delicious. Staff cheerful and friendly. Lovely original decor with good attention to detail ( there were scissors provided at the table to cut the individual condiment satchets).

My partner and I were recommended this place by a local. Seamus and his team made us feel so welcome the moment we stepped through the door. The service was exceptional and the food.... well, quite honestly the best roast dinner we have ever eaten. We don't live locally unfortunately but plan on visiting again soon Keep up the good work seamus

Wonderful place....Friendly owners and staff. Made to feel welcome from beginning to the end of our stay. Breakfast is exceptional. The character of the building and the rooms are Wonderful. Very relaxing atmosphere. We will definitely definitely be returning.

This cafe is the best in Ripon. If you are looking for Barista style coffee (without the expensive brand name sort) it is served with real expertise. The staff are so friendly and attentive, really child friendly as well as giving your fur babies attention and treats. Our dog was spoiled with fuss by the lovely waiting staff. The food is first class - I would say it is restaurant quality rather than cafe which is even better as the prices are very reasonable for what you receive. Try the cheese scones - AMAZING!!! Highly recommend.

A friendly pub with lovely staff. Well kept ale, proper food - Sunday carvery is great. Outside seating for nice days and a good view of the cathedral. What more to ask.

Great place, lovley food! Cute atmosphere

Travelled 20minutes each way to pick up order for family lunch. Returned home with 1 meal and 1 drink missing. What food we got was actually quite nice, although surprised how small the fish were.

Now with new management, the Golden Lion is starting to fill up again. Some good ales now and Sunday lunch good value.

I do not usually write reviews but I feel as though I have to after what I witnessed last night 28/11. After waiting 20-25 minutes for my food, I saw the fryer shouting at the gentleman on the Till area. I asked the young man if he was okay and I could tell he was getting upset. The chef was repeatedly shouting at him and telling him to go home and storming off and swearing at him whilst the gentleman did not respond and seemed to get upset. The worst part was that it was quite busy and the man on the till was obviously trying his hardest whilst the other gentleman working was seemingly walking around aimlessly, not helping, and doing nothing. I am disgusted by this, surely in this day and age abuse towards young staff should not be happening? After reading other reviews, I have seen that this is not the first time this has happened with the same Chef. Surely management has picked up on this? I was going to give the chef a piece of my mind but was concerned that it would only result in him shouting at the young gentleman further. I will not be returning when this man is working And I am advising friend and family to do the same.

This was a return visit for Sunday lu ch. Three of has had beef and one of us pork. All meals were absolutely superb. Staff were very welcoming and efficient. Value and quality can not be faulted.
