Re: Restaurant recommendations
Depends what level of Restaurant you want. I can recommend a few round here in Skipton but not sure what your budget is.

Re: Restaurant recommendations
Bistro des Amis in Skipton is good, mix of pub and French restaurant, nothing fancy but meal for 2 with wine comes in at £45. I have just left there.
Re: Restaurant recommendations
Thanks everyone it gives me a few choices.
Re: Restaurant recommendations
Have an open budget but don’t want anything posh or a menu we don’t understand. Mixed grill/ sirloin steak kind of meals will be great and hopefully near a few pubs afterwards.beddie wrote:Depends what level of Restaurant you want.

Re: Restaurant recommendations
One of the best in the area. They used to be just down the road from me on Cuckstool Lane. It was called Babar Elephant at the time. We used them a couple of times a month for takeaways and it was always top notch and good service too. They moved a few years ago, unfortunately.wilks_bfc wrote:For a curry I’d recommend 4 Elephants in Foulridge

Re: Restaurant recommendations
I'd still go for the " Higher Buck " in Waddington, you can have a snifter in the " Waddington Arms " or the " Lower Buck " afterwards, all are within 300 yards of each other ...golden wrote:Have an open budget but don’t want anything posh or a menu we don’t understand.

Re: Restaurant recommendations
Another vote for Glen View. Not the most salubrious of surroundings, but a cracking meal.
First class steak.

Re: Restaurant recommendations
This weekend sees the final days of the Three Fishes at Mitton. Lovely building, friendly and efficient staff and good food, especially the crispy cauliflower. Nigel, I hope you sleep at nights.

Re: Restaurant recommendations
Shoulder of Mutton in Hebden Bridge offers some really good food particularly their 3 course Sunday Lunch for less than £20.
It’s certainly not a place to go for a ‘fancy meal’ but the food is of a really good standard

The Bay Horse at Roughlee is pretty good. Decent menu and very pleasant people who run it. Ate lunch there a fortnight ago.

I wouldn't. Portions are **** and it's fairly dear compared to others.wilks_bfc wrote:For a curry I’d recommend 4 Elephants in Foulridge

Re: Restaurant recommendations
Do they still have the waiter who looks like OddJob from the Bond films? Only went once, staff were rude and pushy and the food nothing to write home about.Billy Balfour wrote:One of the best in the area. They used to be just down the road from me on Cuckstool Lane.

The food and service at Bertram’s (Crow Wood) are both very good but prices are high.

The price of eating out in the UK is scandalous, not value for money.

Went out last week had a spaghetti starter, Sole for the main, profetti rolls for the desert. Expresso coffee. The wife had similar. We had a bottle of wine and water and another single glass of wine all for the grand sum of €36.

Completely depends on where you go, and what your expectations are. There's absolutely no point in doing it if you are going to compare like for like ingredient prices with Lidl. Do yourself a favour and stay at home.Top Claret wrote:The price of eating out in the UK is scandalous, not value for money.

You need to broaden your horizons and see the rest of the world to realise how expensive Britain is, and how poor the quality of the product isPimlico_Claret wrote:Completely depends on where you go, and what your expectations are.

Re: Restaurant recommendations
Thanks for the advice, but I'm well aware of the extremely tasty yet dirt cheap street food on offer in Asia etc, living standards of those involved may also come into play?Top Claret wrote:You need to broaden your horizons and see the rest of the world to realise how expensive Britain is, and how poor the quality of the product is
