"We stopped off for tea, smoothies and cake in the afternoon at this lovely cafe. There are lots of vegan options. There is no vegan symbol on the daytime menu but all of the staff we spoke to were very friendly and very knowledgeable about the food. We enjoyed it so much we booked a table at the Bistro for the following evening. There were four vegan options available in the evening (clearly labelled) all of which sounded great. Again the food was excellent and the staff were very helpful. The atmosphere in the evening was really nice too. They had added candles to the tables and cushions to the chairs. Highly recommended."

"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."

"Do not order the lamb hot pot at this restaurant. My partner and I visited for the first time today and I was highly disappointed with my £18.95 lamb hot pot. It consisted of a small ramekin of gravy, a piece of lamb fat, and only 3 thinly sliced pieces of potato on top. The portion size was extremely lacking and even after sending it back, there was little improvement. The dish also came with a half baby carrot and a small spoonful of cabbage. Other items on the menu had varying portion sizes, with some being extremely small despite similar prices. I ordered an espresso but received a cappuccino instead. In addition, the conservatory had poor blinds that let the sun shine directly into our eyes. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant. The experience was so disappointing, especially since it was my partner's parent's birthday meal. Even my partner's mother, who never complains, was concerned about the lack of food for the price. If it weren't for the occasion, I would have requested a refund and gone somewhere else to eat. Additionally, only one out of the three toilets was functioning. The only redeeming quality was the average quality of the food that did make it to our table. Avoid this place at all costs."

"Booked for 2 nights and 2 meals. upon arrival the owner/landlord Dan showed us up to our room personally why doesn 't everyone do this??? we told him or was our wedding anniversary and could we choose our table for our 2nd evenings meal. this was done and ir wasn 't a problem. OK, 1st night, we ordered and had a huge portion of grub each! it was delicious! ans served promptly etc. I 'd rather have too much than too little wouldn 't you? A lovely, comfy night sleep followed. Breakfast still a bit full, we just asked for sausage and bacon toasties utterly delicious and plentiful!!! Now, scroll forward to the evening of our wedding anniversary. Dan points out the specials board. The Sea bass which the Mrs wanted had sold out. I said so and she was a bit disappointed. Several minutes later Dan came over and said couldn 't help buy overhear youbwere disappointed that sea bass special has sold out. Chef tells me we do have 2 fillets left but his chilli sauce that he makes has run out the chilli sauce was the bit we didn 't really care about so Dan said if you dont mind missing out on the sauce you can have extra prawns, we know it 's your wedding g anniversary so chef would like to give you what you want but it 's not as per the menu completley my Mrs was thrilled as she wanted the fish anyway but could happily miss out on the chilli sauce with the potatoes and veg etc. This was a lovely touch from Dan, the chef and the team. Much appreciated . Why don 't other places do this and be some accommodating?? A fabulous breakfast followed on day two and we will stro gly recommend the Old Hall Inn and will return. Superb service."

"The restaurant may not have the most inspiring decor, but we received a warm welcome from the owner who informed us that they only accept cash. After getting some cash, we were seated upstairs as the only diners in the restaurant. We ordered glasses of water as alcohol was not served. I had the mixed kebab and my wife had onion bhaji, both of which were very good. My kebab was cooked perfectly and tender, while the bhaji was also delicious. For our mains, I had the naga chicken which was extremely spicy as described, while my wife had the Beg balti which she thought was just okay. Both dishes were served with a bland pilau rice. My curry was exceptional and I would give it a 10/10. The chapatis were also outstanding, the best I've had in a long time. This restaurant is not fancy, but it offers good old-fashioned curry. I would definitely return, although my wife is not so sure."
