Little House Restaurant

One of worst meals we have had out. Poor service didn't even ask if we wanted a drink when we went in. No atmosphere. Starter 5 small tiger prawns floating in garlic and chilli oil. Sea bass looked as though it was cooked in same oil fish was just warm, beans rubbery, not much of anything on plate. Desert hot pancakes supposed to be apple and berry. Inside apple sauce and 2 blackberries. Didn't get asked if meal was OK and didn't get asked if we wanted coffee. 4 of us £230 not value for money and food awful. Will not return.

Delightful! We have wanted to dine at the Little House Restaurant for a long time but unfortunately our previous visits to the area have been mid week when they are closed. This time we travelled later so managed to get a table on the Saturday night. It was definitely worth waiting for! Upon entering we were warmly greeted, seated, given water & menus by Andrew, the owner who straight away makes you feel like an old friend. Situated in a lovely building with only a small number of covers, it exudes a wery nice, friendly, comfortable atmopshere with some nice, low key jazz playing quietly in the background. Drinks order taken whilst we perused the menu. Charcuterie platter of cured meats & parmesan & garlic King Prawns 'piri-piri' chosen to start followed by baked fillet of silver hake with lentil & vegetable cassoulet & pan fried fillet of Ribble Valley beef with a cracked black pepper, cognac & cream sauce along with a very nice bottle of red wine. A wonderful dessert named Yorkshire Mess consisting of rhubarb, meringue & all the associated creamy bits was shared as was a glass of delightful dessert wine. The timings between courses were perfect. The chef came out & we had a lovey chat with her during which we discovered a slight connection to our home town of Beverley. All in all, an extremely enjoyable, unrushed evening with great friendly service, a relaxed atmosphere & most of all, delicious food! We noticed that a lot of the diners appeared to be regulars with several making bookings for future dates which is alays a good sign of a decent restaurant. Highly recommended.* *We travel to Greece quite a lot & noticed that on the first weekend of the month, The Little House present a menu influenced by different countries. The next one is a Greek evening & even though we live a couple of hours away, we have booked a table for this as the menu looked very inviting!

Wow just wow. Fantastic food very cosy and some nice wines on offer. Service was impeccable I usually don't eat puddings but because the starter and main were so good i had to indulge myself in a pudding and i wasn't disappointed. You need to book and they only open limited hours and friday and Saturdays You will be hard pressed to find anywhere as good as this locally

I think we must of visited on a bad day. The food was average not the best I've tasted. Presentation, well enough said about that. Service by grumpy old man.and poor atmosphere lacked service skills. Very much over priced. We were served 5 prawns costing £9 your having a laugh I definitely would not go again or recommend this place to anyone.

Certainly lives up to its name. With covid restrictions only has room for 12, so need you to make sure to book in advance. But if you are fortunate enough to get a seat you are in for a treat. With so few customers you can be sure of first class service and the food is delicious. The menu is a little limited but everything is prepared to the highest standards. They also do monthly specials, featuring food from a particular country. Not to be missed!!
