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

Realitea would tempt in anyone passing by that loves the smell of beautiful Indian food. The warm welcome and spotless presentation of this unassuming tea room and restaurant is a standard many aspire to. The food was delicious and the photos show how much attention to detail there is to make all the food served. Also the most comprehensive tea menu I’ve ever seen. They don’t have a licence so bring a bottle.

We came for a last-minute booking after a walk at Fountains Abbey. The staff were very attentive and quickly resolved missing items from roast dinners. Food was spot on! The highlight of the meal was the rice pudding. Children well catered for, and we did not feel rushed. Very cosy atmosphere. If I am being picky, there was a little wait for mains to be cleared, and we were thinking of leaving without dessert. The waiter resolved this with a prompt order and had the bill ready when our toddler became restless. Will return with in laws!

Fantastic atmosphere, service and drinks

I found this place tucked away in a quiet corner of Ripon. It was busy but I found a table upstairs. We enjoyed our lunch of poached eggs and mackerel and pea frittata with delicious salad accompaniments. The staff were friendly. I would seek this cafe out again next time I visit this area.
