There's the upstairs shop or you can sit outside on their limited tables and chairs, especially rare when the sun is shining! We've enjoyed a brew here time and time again and they also do cream teas which are just what the doctor ordered after a heavy venturing around the castle walls and down by the river nid. Recommended!

A rickety staircase leads to two sizeable rooms decorated like the best Grandma's front room. The food is delicious, ranging from the standard bacon or sausage sandwiches to fantastic cakes.

We popped in on Christmas eve to meet some friends for coffee and sat upstairs where it's quite intimate but also roomy, with a balcony looking over the main bar. The coffees were good and we snacked on a few bites while the kids had some tasty avocado on toast. I was eyeing up the burger menu for a good hour before deciding I'd just grab something back home - damn I wish I'd had that burger though as I can imagine it would have been good! Very friendly staff, a great old converted building, great selection of craft beers - yep - ticked all the boxes for me! These guys must be mind readers too as when trying to coax me in for a drink later on they actually said "we have a great selection of Japanese Whiskeys if you're into that" - and yes, I am so I know I'll definitely be back in very soon when next in Knaresborough!

Situated in the main castle courtyard (Knaresborough town square) it's open early till late and serves a purpose for the many peeps who want somewhere to start the day with a java hit and end it over coffee with friends.

Happy to oblige me dears. I mean iced fancies, sweet pies, crispy tarts, buttery shortcrust, fresh cream, grated lemon zest, meringue. Oooh. Expect to pay a sum commensurate with quality. We got lots of cakes and pastries to share with our grandkids. Everything we got was exceptional quality and looked so inviting. The servers were charming and all the goodies were boxed up and tied with ribbons. Just proper.
