Reviews in Skipton

First visit 4th January 2024 as a family of four and all the food was excellent, without exception. The front of house staff, which seemed to comprise two young girls, were polite and friendly enough but I felt, especially as the evening became busier, they were slightly out of their depth or lacked training and leadership, as the more diners arrived the slower and slightly more chaotic the service became. The wait between main course and dessert was far too long. While I will return, as I have no complaints about the food, I would make sure I was an early booking again as I am not sure, despite their best efforts, the front of house staff can cope with a full house. It would, I think, benefit the owners to look at the front of house situation as I could easily see disgruntled diners from the slow and erratic service.

Exceptional food and service, very cosy atmosphere. Would return again.

We went on 30 dec for my daughters birthday I had the christmas dinner had no yorkshire puds on gravey very rich did not enjoy it at all .Starters not good either very disappointed

Our table was a bit out of the way next to the kitchen, but we did book late so maybe all they had available. Was very busy and a bit of a wait on the starters. All the food however was fabulous.

Possibly the best restaurant in Skipton. We ate on New Year’s Eve and the whole evening was amazing!

Steak and ale pie to die for with a good host and service

Lovely food. Great staff Great atmosphere. Staff very busy after main courses. Had to search someone out to get hot drinks after meal. Still very good

Called in for an 'in between Christmas and New Year' lunch. Haven't been for many years, not really since the days of 'Luke'. It was friendly, buzzy and welcoming even though we were sat upstairs. The menu is extensive and we could each have chosen many items - will try others next time. The service was good and food excellent. Quite pricey but well worth the money.

Great food and lovely atmosphere. Had a lovely meal.

Lovely food and great service. Lacking a bit of atmosphere due to it being quiet

Had a lovely lunch on Sunday. Salmon en croute was delicious, especially the sauce. My husband enjoyed his seafood parcel too and thought the chips were beautifully crispy. Sticky toffee pudding was great too but may have tipped me over the edge! Great service. Will definitely be back! We found the restaurant a bit cold too though it warmed up after a while.

Sumptuous food served by lovely staff, 10% service charge well deserved, only let down by management was no bottled cokes/mineral waters available.

Fantastic meal yesterday with friends. Lovely welcoming staff & beautiful food, restaurant was a little cold.

Recently went for our annual Christmas meal, disappointed that we weren't sat in the place we were promised and were sent upstairs where it was cold and lacking atmosphere. Pre ordered for a 5 o'clock booking but food didn't arrive until 5.45 , we could see it sat waiting to be brought to us but the young staff were more interested in looking at their phones behind the bar. Service was poor Nothing festive about it, did ask if there were any crackers but no-one came back to us All in all a disappointing evening, food was tasty but that was the the only plus

Accommodated our Christmas party of 25 with ease. Great menu choices with no complaints! The food and service was excellent throughout. The best French Onion soup I've ever had! We will be back :)

We went yesterday for my birthday meal. We arrived at 6.30 pm, the restaurant was freezing cold. The food was good, not fantastic. The wine I ordered was out of stock but they offered the next most expensive at the same price, that was good. The downer on ours and the couple next to us was a works party of 9 who were well too loud ALL the time, so much so we just wanted to go back to our hotel so skipped a desert. Why they could NOT have been seated upstairs I don't know !
