The ingredients, preparation and taste were ace. I like my grub, so you can trust me on that :) My room was also really nice. The building is, as its name suggests, the old deanery for Ripon Cathedral and looks to date back a couple of centuries at least. That means high ceilings, twisted walls and heaps of character with a view of the Cathedral directly opposite. I slept in a room right at the top of the building, sort of an attic kinda space, and it was clean, spacious and very comfortable. In fact, I liked it so much that I took my wife there for lunch on our anniversary.

Had a nice meal every time & staff are very attentive but not over bearing at all, hence why return. It's little close to the main road but that doesn't detract from the warm atmosphere.

Sorry, Ripon, you know you're dear to my heart. Last week I decided to head back for the night, to the place which made me the pizza lover I am today. For the pizza which set my taste buds alight all those years ago. It's called the diavolo. And these days I get it folded. And extra spicy. WIN. Prima, or Primas as it's known across, um, Ripon, seems to go in and out of fashion with every season. Sometimes it'll be rammed, others you'll be the only couple/group in there. Still, mind, Franco - the friendly patron of the place - will treat you like kings and queens. The restaurant's worth a visit just for him alone and his enthusiasm, whether false or genuine. If you're ever in town. I mean city. Then go find Prima. And have a diavolo. Extra spicy.

What a shame, Prima used to be such a treat. There always used to be a warm friendly welcome…read more Whatever dish one would like the chef to alter (or indeed create), was not only never a problem, it was embraced, created, served and eaten with passion, taste and respect. Now, Everything seems such a stress. There always used to be a bit of a language barrier, which had never been an issue, more of a thing to enjoy with the host and the party. But now, it all seems quite awkward and false. Without going into great detail, I visited Prima three times over the last six months (In my 30 years I have eaten there scores of meals there, all of which I had a very very pleasant experience). The last three times I have experienced a very rude reception, an even ruder waiter, and very poor service, and quality of food. In all, a very sad experience. What used to be a lovingly established place to meet and eat will, no doubt, turn into another empty commercial premises, due to apathy.
