Lovely people, lovely food, a great welcome when you first go in. If I am having lunch in Skipton…read morethis is the only place i go to now. I want to try to go in the evening but not yet been able to but I am sure It will be a lovely evening out dining there. Diane O'Hara Eastburn

Pies and mash pie was amazing and staff very friendly I would advise anyone to try the pieread more

Pie and mash. Sounds simple - and it is, but it IS extremely tasty and decent value for money…read more Two of us ate here today and were greeted by two very friendly, smiley young ladies who were good humoured, polite and pleasant. They sell pies and mash (obviously), chips, gravy, mushy and garden peas, beers (mainly Copper Dragon) and soft drinks, and two of us had a tasty and filling lunch including drinks for £15. Well worth a visit if you don't fancy yomping up and down the main street in search of somewhere that isn't packed or over-priced, though I do believe they get quite busy in there at certain times.

Yay! What a great find! Beautiful dining room in this nice old building in the heart of the lovely…read moretown of Skipton. The menu had so much on offer, all of which sounded amazing! From tapas to share, to various starters, mains, steaks, this place has a lot to choose from, including vegetarian options. We went for dinner (but saw they're open from 9am for breakfast) with our Gourmet Society membership card and had a fantastic experience. Great service, good prices considering the high quality and generous portions, and scrumptious everything. Best meal I've had in England in a long time! They also have really great deals for early dinners before 6pm and all day Thursdays, as well as for Sunday roast :)

Originally a 16th century prison for sheep rustlers and criminals this is an unsual and evocative place to eat. Very small so booking is adviseable at the weekends or for a large group. The entrance is down a steep and narrow flight of stair and leads you into a vaulted brick built room. With Cosy tables and comfortable seating. Special menus, a la catre and light snakcs at lucnh are available, but I think if you want an unusal and interesting meal then the evenings are well worth a try. This is not a cheap restaurant, but you pay for what you get and here you get attention to detail, fine wines and an ecclectic French/ English menu.I liked it more when they erred on the side of French but it is still fantastic. Their beef is succulent,as is their Duck. The starters are scrummy and if you want a treat the bread and butter pudding ( not a dish I would ususlly have, is dreamy, not stodgy but light and spiced to perfection. A fantastic choice of wines which are not cheap but to accompany a meal which is comparable you cannot go wrong. They have a Christmas Menu, a la carte and specials. Light or substantial lunches are available and quite frankly their soup and a starter is a great lunch. The attention to detail is sublime and the owner will endeavour to do his best to accommodate all tastes. Nothing is to much trouble here. If you are claustropobic to do not visit as it is low ceilinged but the atmosphere is wonderful. Reasonable prices for a wonderful lunch experience, expect to pay more in the evening. Easy free parking in the evening on the high street. Also on Tuesday,Thursday and Sunday during the day. Worth it for the setting. Difficult access for wheelchairs users as this is down below street level and very narrow.

So Alexander's has been open a while and finally decided to give it a visit and all I can say is…read morehow hugely underwhelmed I was by my experience and service. The waiting staff were inattentive and positively snooty. The food was mediocre, so for the price was not to standard. The drinks were hugely overpriced in comparison to other similar venues I've visited in a city environment. It's clear a lot of money has gone in to the refurb, just a shame that it's using its pompous approach and overpricing to recoup the costs. Given my experience and that I've heard from others, Alexander's won't be long standing in Skipton as it's viability to remain a popular and attractive venue is diminishing week on week.

In the creaking wooden skeleton of what was once Just Books, a new wonder has emerged. Cafe 76 is…read morethe hero Skipton needs. With efficient, pleasant service, a takeaway sandwich shop on street level and cafe tables overlooking the historic High Street on the floor above, it's a winner from the off. Valiantly holding forth opposite Skipton's unwelcome Costa, and serving breakfasts all day (including the richest yummiest Eggs Benedict you could think of) as well as lunches ranging from sandwich to burger, drinks from fizz to milkshake, well. Let's just say it's in my good books (and that's even before we get onto the fact that a burger and fries is under £6). It's got more soul than Caffe Capo and less froth than the Three Sheep. The chicken burger isn't that cop out that people seem to keep going for lately: just sticking a chicken breast in a bun. It's battered (so much better) and tender like a giant goujon. The milkshakes are thick and creamy and FULL of flavour. The strawberry is really something else. So what about that fifth star? It's tricky to say what that last bit of greatness could be, but for some reason, fab though I think this place is, I haven't fallen head over heels for it. I think it just needs a dash more personality, some quirk or kook in the decor, a little less functional. Somewhere unmistakeably Cafe 76. But they've focused on the important things first, as any Costa-competitor must, and it is working, because I just keep coming back.
