Been a "regular" since Lockwoods opened. Never a bad experience/meal and besides the "ordinary" menu (which is anything but!) the Tapas Nights and now Sunday Brunch are not to be missed. Matthew (and staff) keep up the good work.

We found Lockwoods by chance on a visit to Ripon two years ago, but only for tea and cakes. We thought it worth remembering and how right we were. The food combines style with substance - classy fish & chips, for example- and the service is attentive, friendly but discrete. Highly recommended!

I visit Lockwoods regularly - truly the best restaurant in town - and I have tried them all including the two new ones! My favourite summer meal recently has to be the garden pea risotto with feta. A really scrumptious summer meal. Also loving the fact that they now buy their vegetables from across the road at a heritage garden! Couldn't get fresher!!!

The Jewel in Crown!! Having met a friend on the worst day of the week so far weather wise and having been rather disappointed in Ripon itself....We were lucky to lunch at Lockwoods.... What can I say....? great food / good service/ and wonderful atmosphere meant we came away from Ripon thinking of it more kindly than when we arrived!! Would recommend to anyone wanting somewhere different with imaginative menus.

We called in to lockwoods whilst our car was being serviced. We were sat close to the front door because the place was quite full but found this area very cold, so we moved when a table became available to nearer the back, which was very noisy front the staff banging about with the coffee machine, we both found the lunch menu limited and both ordered handmade beef burgers and chips, the dish had too many flavours in it and felt very greasy and wet. however we did manage to eat it all! i would recommend but choose you dish carefully.

Last Wednesday was my first visit back to Lockwoods since Christmas, and I have to say things were always great there but now they are even better. The new decor has given the restaurant a really cosy and intimate feel. The service was friendly and smiling, and the food was delicious. There is an increased emphasis on local food, even down to the drinks with Lockwoods being the first Restaurant to offer Yorkshire Cider from Cropton near Pickering. I had the chargrilled vegetable and goats cheese stack with sesame roasted potatoes which was very tasty, and healthy. Couldn't resist the white chocolate and rhubarb tart, and looking forward to next time!

This was our first visit to Ripon and we decided to call in at Lockwoods after reading good reviews about it on the internet - we weren't disappointed. The menu was refreshingly different whilst still offering some of the old favourites. Make sure you save space for dessert - the chocolate pot served with shortbread and strawberry fool was to die for! The selection of cheeses and wines were also of a particularly high standard. Would definitely recommend you pay a visit to Lockwoods and try it for yourself!

Living in Ripon and mostly eating out in Harrogate and Leeds, we thought that we would try our home town for a quick supper. Were we impressed, absolutely!!! One of the best meals we have eaten in months and not at a premium. This place is a gem of a find, the food is fabulous with an interesting and varied menu, and the deco is superb and very relaxing, good wine list, and nice staff. Only criticism was that it took them fifteen minutes to take our drinks order, but that will certainly not put us off from returning in a couple of weeks. Excellent

I had booked a meal for an overnight stay in Ripon, after reading some online reviews. I walked past the restaurant during the afternoon, when it is more like a cafe bar and wondered whether it was right for what I required. However, the location of my table, on a small elevated section, giving the impression of being "on stage" was the only (very) small drawback to an excellent dining experience. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable; food and wine were wonderful and the general ambience was very relaxed. We wanted to stay longer!

I took a drive out to Lockwoods (closer than I thought to Leeds!) after seeing it on Sugarvine and had a really nice meal. The aesthetics are modern and well thought out which fits in nicely with the Ripon backdrop. I would recommend to all as it beats the socks off most city centre places that charge to much!
