If you do nothing else in The Yorkshire Dales please visit Vennells in Masham. We had a superb lunch there on 8/9/06. I had checked their website before leaving my home in Essex and yes, they were open for lunch Friday to Sunday. On arriving in Masham the restaurant looked closed but a quick trip to the tourist information office found me on the phone speaking to Jon in person. The meal we had was outstanding and made all the nicer by the fact that Jon trained in my local area. It was just like stepping into his home for a meal!
