Very impressed…read more We went last night after having various friends recommend the place. Can't fault it! Excellent food and drink. Reasonably priced. Very high standard of presentation throughout. Friendly and interested staff. Nice atmosphere and busy on a Saturday night (best to book) Honestly don't think it could have been any better. We will be going again.

Having passed this place many times, I called in for a meal last night…read more What a gem !. Ordered a pint of Taylors Best (Mary Jane and others also available). Was shown to a table, and ordered to start 'Confit duck and peanut spring rolls with a plum chutney' (£6.95) followed by one of their fish specials form the blackboard 'Salmon and Sea Bass fillets with asparagus and bearnaise sauce' (one of the more expensive options at £16.95). Waitress came with bread, two nice thick pieces of rustic bread, one white one brown, and both butter and the olive oil /balsamic vinegar. Whe the spring rolls came , there were four, rather over the top, as for a starter two would have been sufficient, and with a pile of crisp salad and the plum dressing as well. Delicious, I had no problem eating all four. The fish main was also a delight, two small fillets each of sea bass and salmon, with a couple of asparagus spears, and some bearnaise sauce in a pot. A side dish of carrots and broccoli also presented. Thoroughly enjoyable. Bill £26.95. It was as I was paying that I realised that the Wheatley was also residential. Readers of my reviews will know I stay in the area two nights nearly every week (Mainly at Chevin Country Park Hotel Otley, or Rombalds in Ilkley or occasionally Harrgate or Knaresborough, see my reviews of these hotels) However when I asked about room rates, £80 B & B for a single to me is too much for what is essentially a pub. (I pay £70 at the Chevin) I am sure the rooms will be clean and well appointed, but I would have expcted them to be maybe £60-65 for a single. I am awarding 5 stars for the meal, but I suspect that had I stayed there, maybe only 4 stars as a hotel because of the price. Within the last few weeks I now found and reviewed three pubs in the area with really good food., the other two being the The Black Horse at Askwith and the Fox at Menston. I now have a quandary which to go back to !

There are gluten free options available which are safe for those with celiac disease including cakes & sandwiches. There are afternoon teas available (I think you need to order these). I have not tried one, however, I have been envious of those who are being served delicious trays of sandwiches & an extensive range of mini deserts. They look so scrumptious. Also has a child's play area which is great IF you have children. If you require gluten free food then this bakery is defiantly worth a visit.

This popular little coffee shop of Ilkley is situated in prime position really, but at the corner…read moreof the huge car park in the centre of Ilkley, and also facing out on to one of the main shopping streets on the other side. Small wonder then, that when I went in for a cup it was full of people and staff milling about for their elevenses! I'd only just arrived at Ilkley and as standard I needed to get some caffeine and a toilet break before starting my heavy duty browsings. It was a cappuccino for me, as standard, and a really nice window seat to sit and watch Ilkley go by. Being that their shop has huge windows it's really light inside and a really great place to relax and read a paper. I enjoyed my coffee, although no more than any other cappuccino I've had in Leeds I guess, but certainly the locale of this shop made it a lovely visit. They serve a variety of other drinks, snacks and so on too but I wasn't really due a lunch break so had no excuse to try anything on the menu. Even so, there were quite a few tasty looking options, so maybe next time I'll stop to eat! A great little spot to grab some leg rest. Lovely!

Avanti's has alfresco dining and it seemed like a busy place that there was only two pieces of cake left when we arrived. We asked them and they assured us that there were more cake. I reserved our seats outside and my friends went inside to order. They didn't have the raspberry and vanilla cake so I opted for the carrot it. My friends both ordered shortbread. The staff were of various ages from very young to middle-aged. The table next to me had one of the coffees incorrectly ordered and I had to ask someone to clean my table. When the food and drink arrived, my carrot cake was huge but the shortcake didn't arrive. After waiting a while we decided to ask where the other orders where to be told that shortbread wasn't ordered but raspberry and vanilla cake and they brought out a cranberry slice. We asked them to check as we had paid for something and we decided to eat the cranberry slice and the other member of my party went and bought something from the nearby Greggs afterwards. Overall, a disappointing experience when we wanted to treat ourselves after a lovely walk.

A great fish house for a sit in and take away chippy!…read more Service is quite efficient and delivered quickly and efficiently to the table ! Food is served very well and fish is very big ! Hardly fits on the plate. Only downfall is that the seating is in narrow booths and can be quite hard to fit a larger family in . Also it can be a bit nippy with the door open ! But I would highly recommend the haddock and chips - also it is worth asking what fresh fish they have in ! If you can get rock then your in luck ! Having won several awards for the fish and chips you know your in luck. They do GLUTEN FREE AND ITS GOOD!

They are made thin, similar to a crepe, but with the taste and texture of a pancake. They make both savory or sweet pancakes - with loads of varieties.

This is a cute location, around the block from The Shambles, everyone here is friendly and helpful, the whole experience is delightful.

The service was pretty slow for such a slow night. Our drink order took a long time (even long by UK standards). Thankfully we bought a bottle of wine do we didn't have to wait for future drinks. We ordered the pizza with rocket and prosciutto which was really nice. I would definitely recommend it. We also had the chicken teriyaki salad. This was mostly sauce and not a lot of salad. There was also a piece of salmon in it. I was fine with it, but not sure others would be. Would have liked dessert but the servers didn't stop by. I would stop by again when in town to see what it's like on a busier night.

The only clue from the unassuming exterior were the small signs informing they have been ranked as one of the top 50 fish and chip shops in the UK.

The standard chip shop favourites are there, but along with lots of other home made additions I didn't expect. There are also poached fish and gluten free options available as well as a range of vegetarian choices. To top it all off the quality of the food is consistently really good and there is service with a smile. My favourite chippy anywhere.
