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

Great food, decent prices, very friendly owner. Will be back if I come to Richmond again 😊

We stayed at the Wensleydale Heifer last night on our way back from Cumbria, As with many times before, we received a very warm welcome by all the staff, a fantastic meal, wonderful night's sleep and excellent breakfast! Always want to return again and again. Big Thanks to you all.

We stayed in the Kariega room and we were so pleased. Private hot tub with a gorgeous view of the river and the room was delightful. Not far from Aysgarth Falls . Definitely worth a visit if you stay at Yorebridge. I could go on and on about how fab this place is. Love it !

Visited the restaurant while on an overnight stay. The Coach House is a relaxed venue with friendly, well trained staff. Drinks were served to our table with impressive speed while we perused the menu. Service slowed from there - especially between starters and mains. We enjoyed the beautifully presented beetroot and asparagus salad- and the wild garlic soup was well received though a small bread roll would have been welcome. The white pork T bone got a thumbs up but there were issues with the flat iron steak main course. The meat was well prepared and served medium - as ordered. However, it came with chopped lettuce leaves which masqueraded on the menu as a ‘house salad’. There was also a half of a medium sized griddled tomato and chips (fluffy and crisp) which had just as many ‘scrappy’ examples as there were ‘chunky’. Just a little extra on this plate would have made all the difference. A further disappointment was the pan au chocolat bread and butter pudding which seemed to be void of the spices usually associated with such a dish and came with a really meagre quenelle of ice cream. I can understand why this restaurant is popular but I feel there is a question mark over value for money.

We were riding the Swale Trail from The Dales Cycle Centre to Gunnerside with our 5 year old and 2 year old. We battled wind and rain for 4 hours and finally arrived at Gunnerside exhausted (especially the 2 little ones) and decided to have a drink and dry off. We purchased a Pint, a half, two glasses of apple juice, Mini Chedders and a Twix for £15.10. We asked if they were serving food, the bar lady explained they were not. Having taken a seat inside, our kids were starving so we gave them sandwiches from their pack lunch that they were unable to eat on the ride as it had been pouring with rain for most of it (we didn't think a twix and mini cheddars were enough sustenance for a 2 and 5 year old). We were exhausted, but happy after a hard ride and thankful to be inside in the warm during heavy rain. 5 minutes later, someone from the kitchen headed over and tells us the kids can't eat their own sandwiches in the pub! I explained that we'd just bought £15 of drinks and snacks and unfortunately they were not serving food and the kids were starving. The lady told us rather rudely that "we should have planned better" and insisted the kids could not eat their tiny sandwiches. Frankly this attitude was so unnecessary and petty. We were going to spend another £15 on another round of drinks, but given the attitude and being made to feel unwelcome we instead headed home. What seemed like an ok pit stop on a bike ride is actually a tired establishment with a bad attitude. Would not recommend.

We had a lovely full English breakfast, service was great, the food was delicious and tasted very fresh. Definitely worth a visit.

Good food lovely staff and ambience atmosphere will visit again had the roast which was very fulfilling and desert was to die for

Friendly and efficient service. Locally sourced food, which was excellent. Highly recommend. Staff knowledgeable about all the local produce served.

A very quiet pub when we went in, real ales were great and kept well. I did find out this pub is up for sale so maybe that is why the atmosphere was a bit lacklustre.

One big thank you to you all for looking after us when we visited you. It's such a friendly place. The Black Sheep was one of the best I have tasted. Our room was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Our evening meal was excellent and so tasty. It's a shame we couldn't stay longer.

Love the food and the staff are so nice. The delicious smell wafting around the market place, just drags me in. Great shop

Fabulous plaice!! Best fish and chips around for miles. Very pleasant staff and good portions. We never go anywhere else💕

Excellent food and service. Nearly all dishes were available with a small variation to become gluten-free. They were very considerate about that.

Lovely little village pub.. excellent food, sensibly priced, and always a great atmosphere. Happy to recommend 😊

We came to Wensleydale Creamery and had the cheesy afternoon tea. Was a big fan of the Mac and Cheese. The dessert course was good, but not excellent. The cheesecake was nice but very rich.
