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

A cosy and friendly little pub with a roaring fire - perfect for a winter's day. It's very dog friendly (Elvis appreciated roasting himself by the fire, as you can see). We had coffee and hot chocolate and all the trimmings (you can also order it with Baileys) served by the friendly and helpful staff. There is a bakery in the other half of the pub (and accommodation upstairs). If you want a slice of traditional Dales' hospitality, visit this old English pub in the sweet village of Austwick - it's wonderful.

First came here in about 2010 as a very good but very different incarnation, but it was excellent and we stayed in one of the cottages. Two return visits (after keeping an eye on what was happening with various changes) in 2023 and 2024 and wow is it ever really now a genuinely truly special place to go to. Surprised they didn’t get to two stars already but presume it’s a matter of time given the pedigree of MW and the quality of what we’ve had there. Lovely lightness of touch and real elegance in the presentation, lovely staff, welcoming and helpful, though some of the wine pairing patter was rushed and felt inauthentic. Wines could be slightly more accessible overall, we saw markups of 4-5+ times retail on the lower end of the list, but then again that’s not especially unusual, but a bit of a shame as the former incarnation of the angel had old and deep cellars with great value to be found - if you want that great wine dimension to your meal the Inn at Whitewell is still doing slightly better on that front. Will return again I am sure and would encourage anyone to before that second star and it becomes much harder and costlier to. Have already introduced a few friends and everyone suitably impressed.

What a wonderful birthday meal today. The seafood is amazing! Highly recommended!! Fantastic food & lovely staff. Definitely worth a visit.

I did a delivery there and the staff were very friendly and welcoming.
