Reviews in Skipton

Booked for 21/3 to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday. From the moment we arrived, our experience was appalling. I would never recommend anyone to go here. Shocking service. Below average food carelessly presented. A truly dreadful experience.

We had a really lovely meal , I had leg of pork and my husband had the sirloin steak . Cooked just right , the food was hot and the service was welcoming . Overall we just had a lovely evening , thank you . We will be back Thank you to all

Amazing new menu

Been several times before for evening meals which are consistently excellent. We decided to give their Sunday lunch menu a try. Both of us had the brisket. Did not disappoint although my partner said his could’ve done with more gravy. Tasty as ever and we will be back - regular evening or Sunday lunch again.

We had 2 delicious meals at the maypole. The food and service was outstanding . Wonderful atmosphere and very friendly

Varied selection, good sized portions and reasonably priced food, served promptly by friendly staff and hot. Excellent home made chips and hand pulled ale to wash it down. Bedrooms are well appointed and super comfy.

Hello Le Bistro, You have invited us to write a review regarding our meal on 22 February. We do not like to write negative reviews that will be made public so we would prefer you to regard this as customer feedback to you as you have specifically requested a review. We booked a table with you as we wanted to give ourselves a treat for my birthday. The menus were left with us whilst we chose our meal. When the person waiting on our table took our order, we were informed that one of our choices was not available. It is a shame that was not pointed out originally. Our starter courses both seemed to have been reheated. The French onion soup tasted intense and over-reduced; the scallops were completely overcooked, with the sauce burnt around the edges and dried to a porridge consistency. We both ordered Award Winning Sea food money bags as our main course. The pastry was dark, the interior was dry, the fish was clothy and tough, the prawns were hard and the scallops were tasteless and overcooked. When we requested the bill we were directed downstairs where we payed and, for the first time we're asked if everything was ok. We said that we were not at all happy with the food. There was no apology or even any enquiry about our complaint. The staff we saw were all very young and inexperienced and so we can't blame them. I'm sorry that we have to give such a negative response, but the whole experience was incredibly disappointing, especially as it was my birthday. Please don't publish this publicly, we do not want to harm your business.

This place and Le Cavaux are the best places I have eaten anywhere and I live east of Ilkley so have tried quite a wide range of places across Wharfedale and Craven etc. (I admit I've never tried the Box Tree or Grantley Manor/Hotel but for the money Le Bistro des Amis is really good and we only had the early bird, (well pleased). Beats anywhere I've tried in Leeds etc. I only very very rarely ever give anyone or anything 5 stars but I had no bones to pick here and I can be very critical

We really enjoyed our evening. I had the best garlic mushroom starter that I've ever had. My wife really enjoyed her patè. My barnsley chop was maybe a tad overcooked but that was totally outweighed by the plate as a whole. Gravy was lovely, Yorkshire pudding was great, the vegetables were perfect. My wife had the money bag seafood and it was great. Definitely recommend

We had a lovely evening, my soup was gorgeous, so full of flavour. Mains were equally delicious, and dessert amazing all washed down with a bottle of 974. The staff were all very friendly and helpful too. We will definitely return thank you for a great dining experience.

Loved the ambience and the very friendly staff. Our food was excellent and beautifully cooked. I had the seafood moneybag, the sauce was amazing and my husband had the Barnsley chop cooked just the way he likes it. One of the best meals we've had in a while.

Easy parking Warm enthusiastic welcome Extensive menu Eclectic and warm ambiance Food does not disappoint Service attentive with out being intrusive Recommend

Absolutely beautiful, had the seafood money bag, will definitely be returning.

We wanted to hold our Annual party in a local restaurant that could accommodate our numbers. Communication with Fraser was excellent and efficient from start to finish, even the last minute changes - nothing was a problem. On the evening, the service was prompt but not rushed and the menu was outstanding - the comments on the food were very complimentary from all the party, pleasing all 80 attendees is no mean feat. We will certainly be back !

We had a lovely meal on Tuesday evening. The staff were pleasant and polite, as always. It was a business meal.

Disappointed: booked in for Early Bird Menu but on arriving told not available and they can't alter their website. Staff pleasant and polite, though all of them were very young and I question experience. Food and music were good.

Booked a table for a Friday night. On arrival, we were warmly welcomed and taken to a table upstairs. A waitress came and took our drinks order and then our food order once the drinks had been received. Some time later a small bowl of olives arrived closely followed by our main courses. I suspect that we should have had the olives earlier. At no point during the meal, did anyone come and ask if everything was ok, or ask us if we would like more drinks. We finished our main courses, which were delicious and after 20 minutes of not seeing a member of staff we decided not to order dessert and just get the bill. We had to find a member of staff to do this. When we have visited before it has usually been midweek and the service has been good. It was a disappointing experience this time around.
