"We were fortunate to find a couple of available tables at this popular café in the dales during peak lunchtime on holiday. We ordered the delicious falafel wraps and a sourdough hummus open sandwich with red cabbage and olives for my son. He absolutely loved the red cabbage, and the sandwich transformed what could have been a typical lunch into a hearty meal for him, thanks to its generous size and appealing presentation. The side salad was nicely arranged and included some seeds, but it felt a bit unnecessary since my wraps came with a similar salad garnish. We didn't try the one vegan cake because it seemed quite pricey. I think we ended up ordering more than we actually needed (his smoothie and the salad), and each item was on the expensive side. Next time, I might explore the other two nearby places, as we frequent the Retreat quite a bit. It’s usually better in Grassington during the winter on weekdays."

"Everyone should experience the Craven Arms at least once in their life. Superbly situated in an elevated position over Wharfedale, you can enjoy yourself with some of the finest riverside walking before retiring for a well-deserved and well kept beer in this fabulous, characterful pub. There's a wide range of beers served by uber friendly bar staff. The experience starts here. You really shouldn't miss the opportunity to sample the food which is a cut above most pub food out there. Where else could you enjoy pan-fried wood pigeon? Even the veggie options are highly imaginative. Make sure that you're in the cruck barn which is straight out of an Asterix adventure. The large and slow burning open fire is a treat, especially if it's cold or wet. It's dog friendly too. Minor downsides? We had to wait about 15 minutes beyond the booked time to get our table and there was some faffing about with lighting whilst potential wedding venue punters were shown the possibilities. Staff readily apologised for the inconvenience, so these irritations were nowhere near being deal breakers."

"Hello our stay here from start to finish was lovely, warm greeting, very warm and pleasant, the rooms are lovely, well furnished to high standard. The evening meals are 5 star, and breakfast the same. Staff very helpful and friendly. On site spa and pool was easy to book and use and very relaxing. Covid procedures were to a high level which was comforting. Only one thing which we feel could enhance your stay, the reception area has an area which chairs and takes to reside and relax, on a night it would of been nice to get a seat before or after out meals, and generally no space, because it's a lovely area. If they could expand some how on a relaxing area would be beneficial. May I also thank staff for hoping me with a flower delivery and a bottle of bubbly I'd brought for our 30th wedding anniversary, as a surprise to surprise to my wife, fantastic. Many thanks"

"We popped in for a quick drink and we were gobsmacked at the price ! No wonder it was nearly empty. Ordered a pint of Neck Oil and a glass of wine. They charged us 14.25 ! My hubby who usually pays without question asked if they had it right. Yes that's the price! We have visited this place over the years when staying local and it used to be a nice cosy pub but it's definitely in need of some love. Years ago it was on Four in a bed and it had a great menu and was busy but sadly it seems cold and a bit tatty. Staff were nice but we wouldn't return due to the prices. Even noticed Sunday Lunches were 16.99 hope they are worth the price."

"I live in London in an area with lots of Bengali, Pakistani and South Indian restaurants. I have had poor experiences of using local curry houses round the country. Not this one. The food is freshly cooked and incredibly flavoursome and this goes down to the side dishes and the vegetable sauce served with biriani. We really enjoyed our take away. If you like us are staying in Grassington for a break in the dales you will find there is only one take away food outlet. No worries. It is Rozi tandoori house and it’s excellent"
