Ripon Restaurants

The service was very good and the waitress was absolutely lovely and helpful would highly recommend.

Excellent as usual! Only complaint was an over loud man, he was very loud. But he was having a good time! It didn't ruin our food or anything else.

Perfect start to my day! Welcome greetings at the door were friendly and courteous. As requested upon booking, a quiet breakfast table had been reserved which was just perfect. The waiting staff were friendly, helpful and very professional, nothing was too much trouble and specific requests were met promptly. The food, as always, was delicious. My portion of scrambled eggs and smoked salmon was a little on the large side for me but I did add granary toast as an accompaniment and polished off the entire portion out of greed! My friend had poached eggs with avocado and hollandaise which looked perfectly cooked. Food presentation was impeccable. Service was faultless. One thing I love about The Ivy is the table linen! I’m a stickler for traditions, there’s nothing nicer than sitting down to eat good food at a table that is properly dressed and a decent napkin on your knee. The atmosphere was perfect, not full as it was early Wednesday morning, but enough occupied tables to create an indulgent and relaxed vibe. All in all, a very relaxed start to our day. Well done to the whole team! Super professional 👍 Thank you

Visiting Ripon for the weekend and researched places to eat and fortunatley found The Old Deanery. Set in lovely historic house that has been decorated with calm colours and a lovely relaxed feel. We arrived and were warmly welcomed and taken to our table. Limited covers in restaurant so we did not feel hemmed in at all and great to have lots of space around us. Started with a cocktail and opted for tasting menu with accompanying wine flight. Exceptional food from the start with great wines that complimented the food. Some amazing tastes and experiences and it was clear that there was a real enthusiasm for the food and drink The Old Deanery provided. Small portions but you need that with a tasting menu and great to be able to enjoy the component flavours of the food down to the micro herbs and dressings Just lovely to go somewhere out of a big city and get such a high standard of food and service. We took over 3 hours to enjoy our fantastic meal and felt cared for all the time with nothing too much effort. Would highly recommend and we will make sure we visit Ripon again so we can return to The Old Deanery.

The Silva Bells has become our favourite place to eat when we visit Ripon, the food is always amazing as is the service & best of all they are dog friendly so our pet Bert can come too. Try it for yourself, you won’t be disappointed
