The best restaurants serving British food in Hawes and High Abbotside Richmondshire Yorkshire and The Humber

Excellent set menu. Sophisticated staff. Lovely first class setting. Superb cuisine. There was literally nothing to fault and it compares well with excellent London restaurants. Locally sourced produce, meats and cheeses. What a registrant should be like.

Great choice for a family meal as part of a Dales mini-break. Superb welcome from Paul, fabulous food prepared by pam - all in a wonderfully designed restaurant. If you are staying in or near Hawes, this is a definitely a restaurant to experience...

Visited for the 1st time in over 20 years ( due to raising family) and being from Norfolk, wasn't disappointed so pleased for these people who took over when it was either dale farm or dairy crest who decided to close the site down !!! Wonderful experience and lovely staff, great day out and got my favourite supply of Wensleydale and cranberry 😁

We went to the Hawes Chippy Thursday 8 November 2024 at 6.20 pm to get takeaway fish and chips. We joined the queue which was outside the shop 10 separate people or couples waiting and 7 in the actual shop. The people that came out of the shop with their food rolled their eyes the comments mainly were Good Luck !!! They were doing fry to order which is fair enough but we did not actually get served until 7.30 luckily it was not raining. The service area for the lovely ladies to work in is far too small this resulted in the slow service to wrap the food as they had no space to work the food was piling up in the window. The Fish and Chips were lovely can’t fault them the staff and the fryer really nice but under pressure.

We never visit Hawes without having a couple of meals in the Wensleydale Pantry. Food is great, wholesome, good portions and thr vegetables are well cooked, it's far better than the typical pub offerings. It's well used by locals, which is usually a good sign. The other plus, is that dogs aren't allowed, unlike most places these days. Whilst we both like dogs, we don't believe that they should be where food is being served.

Love this place. I visit every time I go to Yorkshire.

Amazing service with beautiful food , local produce used, owner’s knowledge of his produce fantastic. Will come again definitely

We stayed at the B&B. Perfect stop before resuming our much (covid) delayed Pennine way walk. Friendly, welcoming host, comfortable room with great views, great breakfast, will stay again if we're back in Hawes.

Just had a fish and chip tea in the cafe. OMG it was excellent. The fish was the best I’ve had in a very long time. Cooked to perfection. Portion was enormous. Service incredibly friendly and welcoming. Please give it a go if you’re visiting Hawes.

After reading great reviews I called in here on Monday March 27 2023 looking for lunch. Very pleasant and polite member of staff informed me that the restaurant is no longer open to serve daytime meals since they shut at the the end of last season

Dirty rooms, vomit-inducing breakfast, dreadful. It's such a shame, as it's in a prime location.

What a great pub this is. The landlord is second to none a charming lovely man. You won't get a better public house with more charm it's so rustic. 3 blazing fires it takes you back in time we loved it.

Lovely cafe/restaurant, the staff were wonderful and couldn’t do enough for us. They made a special plate up for me as I have food restrictions and were very kind and great fun. Love this place and can’t recommend it highly enough, the food is truly delicious. Great coffee too, we will be back as soon as possible.

Ok for a coffee but the staff were terrified of any customers. Not allowed to use the toilet. Long wait for coffee. Shouted at to wear masks we were already wearing. Seemed paralysed by fear - I would avoid even trying to sit inside. They were happy for people to sit outside. Though it was raining hard. Such a shame as a delightful village and would have been a nice break from our walk.
