A family group of seven of us booked for Sunday lunch. I had requested when booking that we eat outdoors in the Courtyard as we were at the end of a week of sunny days. On arrival the staff member greeting us (the Manager?) suggested that we should eat indoors as he felt that it was about to rain, whilst flashing the weather forecast app at me on his mobile phone as he spoke. Our group agreed to this and were then shown to a table in the restaurant by a young waitress. We felt the menu was quite limited but 5 of us ordered the Sunday roast which was very good. There was a lack of atmosphere in the restaurant, a lack of any other diners and hardly any staff visible. We eventually had plates cleared and ordered from the dessert menu. We then waited and waited ?. and waited. After approximately 30 minutes one of our party went back to the Reception desk to ask that our desserts were chased up. They were then brought to the table but unfortunately three of the six desserts ordered were inedible. Rhubarb crumble was a watery mush and ?cheesecake? was a sundae dish with rock solid biscuit in the base and a soft, creamy topping on top of it. When I once again approached the staff member on Reception (seemingly the only person around) to advise that the three desserts were inedible and that I wanted them to be taken off the bill, he wanted to come over to our table to see these desserts. He proceeded to peer at them and prod them with a spoon, somewhat bizarrely. He then took all three away but at no time was there ANY apology. In summary, the Sunday roast food was lovely but the desserts were very poor. Our group won?t return to eat here due to the limited menu and the lack of any atmosphere, but mainly due to the incredibly slow service and the poor attitude of the Manager/Staff member. It didn?t rain either!

I had the sweet corn fritters to start very nice but the batter was a bit dense and doughy, my sister has the lamb koftas which she really enjoyed. She has the chicken supreme as a main and loved it, I had the burger which was nice but huge 2 patties rather than one. A very pleasant lunch

We were impressed with in-hotel Rhubarb Restaurant. Fairly small restaurant with a large bar and comfy lounge area, it is pleasantly designed and decorated in neutral colours, pictures and lighting. WE used the restaurant for lunch and breakfast. Breakfast was varied with continental, hot and cold and vegetarian options, the Yorkshire Breakfast was especially well cooked and very tasty. The lunch-time snack menu eaten in the comfy lounge was certainly varied and good value for money.

Prices and serving sizes are in line with a gourmet restaurant, but sadly the taste and quality does not live up to that. Mushroom pasta swimming in water, over salted fish pie and don?t get me started on the squirts of goats cheese served as a starter. Our wine arrived after everyone had finished eating their meal. The staff are doing their best, but the food lets them down.

Had a great afternoon tea with gin. Great pre booked without cheese so extra sausage rolls which were really appreciated as they were home made as explained to us.

Whenever we visit Skipton, Herriots (opposite train station) is our first port of call. We love the upmarket public bar and always enjoy a few drinks / cocktails. Reasonable prices and friendly staff. Unfortunately not been able to stay here yet as always booked up when we want to stay.

We had a very enjoyable lunch, everything was good but the food prep could have been a little better . We will be back.

We had a girly family get-together Sunday the 4th of September at Herriots, and I can say with absolute certainty that it was the best afternoon tea I've ever had. We had an absolutely amazing time, the decor and atmosphere was beautiful and the staff were incredible! Can not rate this place enough, will be back soon!

Only a small menu so with 3 main meals missing the options were fish or sausage. Wasn't told about missing mains until we had ordered drinks ,very disappointed when it's only 7 pm and very quiet.First visit and the last.

This was, without doubt, the worst afternoon tea we have ever had (and we?ve had a few). Let?s start with the plus - the staff were lovely, helpful and attentive. The restaurant smart and clean. The food? Dreadful. Would give no stars if possible. Three sandwich fingers each - grated cheap cheddar with so much Branson pickle the cheese taste disappeared. Same with ham and masses of mustard pickle. Tuna mayo were ok. No cucumber of course. No sign of the sarnies advertised on their menu. The scones were almost inedible. Home made? Don?t make me laugh. They were they very cheapest that can be bought in Morrisons - I?ve compared them. Chocolate torte? Lemon drizzle? Only in your dreams. The driest, stalest piece of plain tasteless sponge cake and a slice of ginger cake - not even McVities but a cheaper variety also hard and stale. No wonder the kitchen added a second dish of cream. They would have been inedible without it. This was a birthday gift from friends for my husbands 93 birthday. A huge disappointment. And a reason, maybe, why the restaurant was empty on a bank holiday Friday.

Went here on our first evening in Skipton. The food was a little disappointing, the cocktail wasn't prepared correctly either. The staff we're lovely though
