We visited Dales Cottage Cafe & Grill after a late morning walk up Embsay Crag. It's very conveniently situated near the shops and car park in Skipton, so you don't need to go very far to find nice homemade food. I had the scampi and chips, while my partner ordered the chicken and leek bake. Both dishes were nice and very good portions, and decently priced. The cafe itself is very cute and cosy inside, a perfect shelter for the rainy weather. The staff are also lovely and welcoming.

The food and service here was brilliant. It was market day so they were obviously busy but we were served very quickly. The Yorkshire pudding wrap with lamb, mint and feta was everything I hoped it would be. The lamb was melt in the mouth tender, delicious. Hubby had curried lentil soup, which was also very tasty. Staff are friendly, welcoming and very hardworking. If you are coming to Skipton, you must visit! If you like excellent food, good sized portions and very reasonable prices, this is the place for you. My only regret was being too full for a dessert!

This pub is a brilliant, traditional pub! There was a queue when we arrived but we only waited for around 5 minutes for a table. The first thing I noticed was that there was no music playing. This is really good in my opinion because it means people are encouraged to socialise and/or simply appreciate each other's company. It was so nice to have a proper conversation without having to shout to be heard. It helps when other guests are also mindful and respectful of each other. :) The food and drinks menu is fantastic, offering a variety for children and adults. We ordered the normal turkey roast dinner, large yorkshire pudding beef and lamb roast dinners, a brownie, cake, and three-flavour ice cream. Some pubs hold back on the meat and give out scraps, but this place gives you a proper portion. 🤤 Obviously, prices vary depending on what you get, but to give you an idea, we each paid around £15-£22 for a drink, main, and dessert. Staff are efficient and kind. We will definitely come again!

Went for lunch before The Polar Express. Festive decorations and a lovely atmosphere. Great service. I had the giant Yorkshire pudding with lamb and minted gravy, mash, peas, carrots and cabbage. It was delicious. They kindly boxed the half I couldn’t eat up to take home 😍 (cold weather meant the car was as cold as a fridge! All of us enjoyed our meals! Thank you
