Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

Excellent staff accompanied by excellent food and a good choice of drinks. - we'll be back again!

We had a very nice lunch at the Craven Arms. Nice soup and a very good choice of sandwiches. There was also a good selection of drinks, including wine by the glass. The full lunch menu (including desserts) sounded really interesting, however we only required a light(ish) lunch en route to our destination further up the A65. If we are in the area again we will look to stop and sample more of the food on offer! Highly recommended!

Myself, my daughter and her partner came to Raph's yesterday for Sunday lunch. We had a beef and a chicken Sunday lunch, and a lemon garlic chicken with rice and feta cheese. The staff were polite and attentive, the excellent food came swiftly and hot out of the kitchen, with portions too generous for us to finish! It was very good value for money and we would certainly go there again. For me, it would probably be only for lunch because I live about an hour away, but my daughter and her partner may well be in one evening to try the a la carte menu. Thank you to all.

Wonderful meal on Friday night. Perfect pizza and a fabulous pollo a la Sambuca... Huge portion! Lovely service, great atmosphere. Everything just spot on. Thank you

Excellent as always

It was our first visit + it certainly won’t be our last the service was spot on + very accommodating + the food was lovely in a beautiful peaceful location Thank You Once Again.

Went with a friend for an early evening meal last night. I ordered the lasagne as I'd had it the last time I visited and it was delicious. Unfortunately it was lukewarm so I sent it back. The waiter (sorry I didn't get his name) apologised, dealt with it efficiently and politely and even came back to the table to let me know it would be just a couple of minutes. He is a great asset. The lasagne was as nice as I remembered it, unfortunately I just couldn't finish it all. Will certainly return.

All 5 plates were amazing the no meat chili was outstanding and the extra side of salt and pepper onion rings was also outstanding and something id never had before but will definitely be having again.

Arrived at 12.00 for lunch, we were greeted and shown to a table. The restaurant was spotless. We ordered chicken sambuca, it was delicious in a creamy mushroom sauce. Our friends ordered salmon taglliatelli which was a good size portion as was the pasta dish ordered by her partner. Would revommend this restaurant.

Would highly recommend the lookout service was outstanding and the food my daughter and I had was amazing, we had the special of the day which was mussels done in a beautiful tasty sauce, prawns in a coconut lime sauce with burnt lemon and rice, everything was well presented and tasted as good as it looked, will definitely be back.

Fabulous food, service and views. Consistently good.

Lovely staff. Great cats who seem happy and well looked after. Really good relaxing atmosphere and excellent cakes.

Headed here again for our wedding anniversary, as usual a very warm welcome, quickly showed to our table. Superb meal, very attentive team. Will not be our last visit!

My husband and I went on a Saturday night with a couple of friends. This restaurant used to be a firm favourite of ours. We had been since they changed hands, but while still the old menu (and I think chefs) , and everything had been has great as ever. But not anymore. The service was as friendly as ever, and prices good. The food however was another story. The lamb chop starter and the fish curry main were lovely. But everything else ranged from mediocre to unpleasant. A couple of the sauces were just weird, had a strange gloopy consistency and under taste. Onion bhaji was tasty but it seemed like it had been sat in oil after cooking. One of the mains we sent back because the veg was really hard. Miscommunication to chef meant it came back a different dish with cream in it. They apologised and didn’t charge us for that dish. I do hope they manage to turn things around again and get the quality back to how it was. Finally it would be nice if they could update website to show correct menu. We did mention this to the staff. The new menu we saw had lots of dishes that weren’t on the actual menu in the restaurant, which just added to the frustration.

This place was recommended by friends and it didn't disappoint. The food was delicious and plenty off it. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Very good value for money. Will be back again for sure x

A delicious meal and excellent service on a really busy night

The service was great, the young lady who took our orders was quick and friendly. The food as always was spot on especially the rice pudding. We were able to sit after our meal to have a drink and a chat without feeling we were in the way. Thank you for a good night we will be back soon I hope.
