Restaurants near Gordale Scar

Our first time at The Hawthorn. Was a lovely restaurant. Greeted by very helpful polite staff. Very accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble. Efficient and professional. Pleasant and polite. I had the flat iron Steak with peppercorn sauce and crispy skin on fries. Absolutely delicious. Couldn’t find fault. Service was very prompt. The fries were the best I’ve ever tasted. My husband had the Burger with fries and he really enjoyed it too. Plenty of choices from the wine and beverage section. Prosecco was very nice as was the Ilkley beer. We didn’t have room for desert. Again nice choices from a traditional menu. Very nice indeed and we will definitely be returning.

Another visit to this fantastic restaurant. It was for my sisters birthday. Four of us dined at lunchtime and the food was outstanding 👌 Well done Chef Doug and his amazing team 👏 Great to see a helicopter landing and the occupants popping in for lunch.

Friendly welcome at the door, taking care of our wet coats. Waitress (Izzy) was lovely, explaining the menu and looking after us really well the whole evening. Some disturbance from a nearby table, when 2 customers were taking videos with glaring phone lights, was quickly dealt with by the staff. Special presentation of dessert for my birthday, with a complimentary glass of port. A great evening. Thank you.

This was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The pub is simply stunning and we received a really warm welcome from the lady behind the bar. Our food was excellent, one of the best meals I’ve had in a while. There’s a real attention to quality and flavour, which shines through in every dish. We loved spending a Saturday afternoon in front of the fire, with delightful food and wine - we can’t wait to return!

A limited menu, no specials board and only one vegetarian choice - risotto with pearl barley which was scrumptious and worth the wait. Friendly and helpful staff.
