Reviews in Skipton

The three of us wanted a change to the places we often frequent to my son decided to visit the Maypole as it is a long time since we had been. The two ladies that we saw were both pleasant and we were served our drinks which my wife and son had their normal bottled fruit cider so the norm and mine a pint of beer (can't remember which) but it was a great taste and went down well. There was a good choice of food on the menu and the specials board. When it arrived it was lovely and came with vegetables etc. The only disappointment was my son wanted the game pie as I had but there was only one left. He had another dish (scampi) which he enjoyed too. My wife also enjoyed hers. So three different meals all of which were enjoyed. It was slightly more expensive than some other pubs but not enough to stop us going back again and it is comparable with others in the Yorkshire Dales villages.

Probably the best food i’ve eaten in years. Great food great atmosphere and great service. I live in skipton and had friends visiting from Liverpool. We were all delighted we had an amazing evening in Le Bistro and look forward to coming back.

Nice place, food was very good. Staff were friendly.

Nice food great service

Booked this for my birthday meal with friends. We were seated upstairs and a nice welcome . We chose the wine where waiting staff was helpful. However, it went a little downhill from there . Starter took around half an hour . The main was brought out to the table and 2 people were still eating their starter so f lt they had to rush so main course could be put down. Not good . We weren't asked if we wanted condiments we had to ask . Someone ordered another drink but it never arrived ! We had call someone to chase it up . No one came to check on the meals . The mains were cleared but no one asked if we wanted dessert. We waited so long one of our party asked for the bill , so they assumed we all wanted to pay our bill . Disappointing they didn't even acknowledge my birthday (apart from initially), No free little complementary liquor or miniature dessert. I could have booked any where but chose here . On a plus the food was delicious. Came away where I thought we could have had a more enjoyable afternoon elsewhere with a little more attention to detail . Despite the staff bring polite they appeared to lack direction and felt there was no senior/ front of house that oversaw what was happening

My partner and I visited on Saturday 18th January for dinner. This was our second visit and it did not disappoint. The food and atmosphere where perfect. The flavours are always spot on. The waiting staff were all very attentive. Definitely one of our favourite restaurants in Skipton.

First visit 4th January 2024 as a family of four and all the food was excellent, without exception. The front of house staff, which seemed to comprise two young girls, were polite and friendly enough but I felt, especially as the evening became busier, they were slightly out of their depth or lacked training and leadership, as the more diners arrived the slower and slightly more chaotic the service became. The wait between main course and dessert was far too long. While I will return, as I have no complaints about the food, I would make sure I was an early booking again as I am not sure, despite their best efforts, the front of house staff can cope with a full house. It would, I think, benefit the owners to look at the front of house situation as I could easily see disgruntled diners from the slow and erratic service.

Exceptional food and service, very cosy atmosphere. Would return again.

We went on 30 dec for my daughters birthday I had the christmas dinner had no yorkshire puds on gravey very rich did not enjoy it at all .Starters not good either very disappointed

Our table was a bit out of the way next to the kitchen, but we did book late so maybe all they had available. Was very busy and a bit of a wait on the starters. All the food however was fabulous.

Possibly the best restaurant in Skipton. We ate on New Year’s Eve and the whole evening was amazing!

Steak and ale pie to die for with a good host and service

Lovely food. Great staff Great atmosphere. Staff very busy after main courses. Had to search someone out to get hot drinks after meal. Still very good

Called in for an 'in between Christmas and New Year' lunch. Haven't been for many years, not really since the days of 'Luke'. It was friendly, buzzy and welcoming even though we were sat upstairs. The menu is extensive and we could each have chosen many items - will try others next time. The service was good and food excellent. Quite pricey but well worth the money.

Great food and lovely atmosphere. Had a lovely meal.

Lovely food and great service. Lacking a bit of atmosphere due to it being quiet

Had a lovely lunch on Sunday. Salmon en croute was delicious, especially the sauce. My husband enjoyed his seafood parcel too and thought the chips were beautifully crispy. Sticky toffee pudding was great too but may have tipped me over the edge! Great service. Will definitely be back! We found the restaurant a bit cold too though it warmed up after a while.

Sumptuous food served by lovely staff, 10% service charge well deserved, only let down by management was no bottled cokes/mineral waters available.
