Reviews in Skipton

Great meal Really made us welcome accommodates our needs and looked after us all night. Good fun, good venue and good value Might have been our first visit but won’t be our last. Thanks again see you soon

Brilliant retirement meal for our head. Food was great with a larger choice to siut everyone's taste. The fish money bag was a big hit. Thanks to all.

Came for Sunday lunch to celebrate my birthday. Food was delicious unfortunately it was let down by the service. Young waiting staff need better training. My partner ordered a Wainwright beer whilst we looked at the menu, unfortunately they didn’t have any so asked for the beer of the month as per the drinks menu, didn’t have that either, the waitress recommended a Budweiser. After spending time looking at the menu, we ordered our food, unfortunately again we were disappointed as the waitress returned to say there was no pork left so we both had the beef. Can’t be helped however it would be a better experience if the customer was advised when given the menu. As I say the food was delicious, my partner would have liked more than one roast potato, the gravy was amazing.

We were a table of five for our work Christmas meal. We went last year and really enjoyed it, and this year was just as good—great atmosphere, lovely food, and polite staff.

We had Sunday dinner this week. We enjoyed our visit and our dinners. However we had a concern that our requests for no Yorkshire pudding and no mashed potatoes were ignored. We think perhaps the kitchen were not listening to your your waiteress but perhaps they did not listen

Brilliant meal again! Just struggled with the size of the portions - they were enormous! Lovely atmosphere and a brilliant end to the Christmas market, despite the weather.

The service and ambience was great - as ever (although the re-arrangement of the tables for two meant that I felt closer to someone on the next table than to my partner). The early-bird menu wasn't offered - maybe it's not available any more, although it's still on the website. The main problem was my pork - so tough I had to use my fingers and teeth in medieval fashion rather than the cutlery provided. Starters and my partner's main (salmon) were fine.

The food was outstanding as normal but my wife and I both thought that the service was really poor.

Went on Sunday having had the place recommended to us, when booking over the phone I was promised “the best Sunday lunch in Skipton “, the service was good, had to wait 35 minutes for food, staff lovely but I have to say the temperature of the food was only luke warm, the food was good the beef fantastic but so disappointed with the lack of heat. Would I go back, yes I’d try it again. When the bill was brought I was asked re my food and I did mention that I was disappointed with the temperature he did apologise although nothing he could do, 5 mins later at the till when paying he asked again if everything had been ok, and I reminded him of the temperature, so within 5 minutes he had forgotten. I also think the 10% service charge should NOT be added on when the bill is brought to you, but asked at the till if you want it adding

Food was sensational, service was spot on Enjoyed very much

Sadly this was a disappointing experience. We were a table of 6 and were booked early when few tables were occupied. Our starters were not delivered together - about 15 minutes from the first to last being delivered. It appears that one of them had been forgotten. Main courses were delivered closer together but I reckon the quality of the cooking was medium, not high. Service was patchy. This was due in part to a very new team member (presumably not well trained), and no team work between the servers and the kitchen. The kitchen seemed to be struggling to get out food orders. One of the serving staff spent a long time chatting to a couple at a nearby table who he appeared to know well - to the detriment of the service overall. This will be our last visit!

My friend and myself had a beautiful meal yesterday Wednesday 26th November. We started with Scallops beautiful cooked and very tasty. Main course my friend had lamb chop which was delicious and very large. I had pork which melted in your mouth and beautiful cooked. For Desserts we had Crème Brûlée served with shortbread, treacle tart served with ice cream. Everything was beautifully served and delicious. Excellent value for money will be going again. I have been 4 times now and never disappointed.

Excellent

Very disappointed with 4 steak frites meals , meal very chewy and tough and two of the dishes were overcooked Starters and fish dishes were very good and have no complaints Staff very attentive and apologetic over our complaints 4 out of the party of 8 were left feeling very disappointed

We regularly visit Le Bistro on a Saturday lunch time when visiting our family and have always had excellent food and great service. However on 7/11 we visited for my partners birthday. It was much busier than usual and the staff were running all over the place trying to keep up. Yes many things about the service were not great but what I would say , for us, this was not the norm and won’t stop us coming back. The young lad in charge ( don’t know his name apologies) was doing his best and was still friendly, polite and apologetic in very challenging circumstances !

Excellent food and service, extremely patient staff while we sorted out the bill!! My only comment…….the chicken came with mash which should have been sautéed potatoes , there were 26 in our group and I couldn’t send it back and risk waiting ages for it to be corrected. Would definitely recommend.

Visited on 7th Nov with my wife. What a superb evening, restaurant was relatively full but this did not retract from service. A reasonable time between courses allowing time to enjoy the wine but not to long. Owner on hand to ensure everyone happy very affable. We had pate starters and sea bass main all perfect. Great staff, great food good value. If we come back to the area will definitely call back.

Fabulous food, wonderful atmosphere, great staff.
