Had a lovely walk along the river at Pateley Bridge, met some friendly locals also on walks with their dogs too. Then had breakfast at the willow. The omelette are to die for, the cooked breakfast was delicious (as Thomas said). Very reasonable priced. Friendly staff.
Called in here yesterday on one of our trips to pateley bridge. I've got to say it's a gem of a place! Spotlessly clean and perfectly run. My wife ordered the scampi and commented it was really well cooked, I had the gammon which again was really cooked to perfection and the eggs were of the same standard. People may say that chips are chips wherever you go, but not here! I've never had chips that were so nice,don't know how they did them but they were excellent. The staff serving were very welcoming and attentive, so in the whole, a very tasty and amazing place!
Beautiful little place situated in the heart of Pateley Bridge. Lady who served us was also the chef, what a lovely lady. Food extremely delicious and fresh. Complimentary fresh homemade bread and butter when meals ordered🤩 Fair portion sizes and very good quality food used. Comfort food x10! This is our first time here and we will most certainly be returning. Very kind and accommodating of our two children also. Check it out if you’re passing through! 🤩
Review of the restaurant only: It's a tiny place, lovely staff, nice menu, good food especially the desserts, absolutely recommend for dinner. ❤️
Was hoping to leave a restaurant review but it seems to have defaulted to the accommodation (which we didn't use!) The food was freshly made and highly enjoyable. Not a fancy restaurant, but like going to a friends house who enjoys cooking!
