Restaurants near Royal Air Force Station Skipton-on-Swale

Family trip to York and party of 8 night out. Ambience very nice….. modern with a great vibe. Menu looks limited but is in fact more than adequate to accommodate all tastes and the food cooked to perfection. Drinks menu good and nice festive cocktails. Service was excellent despite the restaurant being full. Overall a very nice night out. We will definitely come back.

Came November 15th. Booked again Dec 7th, but due to storm Darragh had to postpone to Sun 22nd Dec and cancelled trains. I’m Gluten Free, fabulous choice, was so looking forward to returning due to large choices on GF menu. Great ambiance, staff exceptional service, fabulous location in York to all shops. Would highly recommend to anyone See you again soon/ in the New Year u hope

Tasteful Christmas decorations and ambience. Great service, food excellent. 3 of us had the sirloin steak which was perfectly cooked. My favourite, local eating place. Midweek early dining is great value for money and a great dining experience.

A most perfect experience. The team at the old deanery strike a really great balance between efficiency, professionalism with a good dose of warmth and can do. The afternoon tea consists beautifully fresh finger sandwiches (we asked for a few more and these were given with pleasure) and a small savoury tartlet, delicious with prawn and dill. Now…. The scones well they are just about the most epic scones, we are still talking about them! Short and crisp top and crumbly unctuous.. even a small shot glass of chocolate ganache which sadly couldn’t be finished due to our expanded waists! Teas, coffee & the most exquisite English sparkling wine were the ideal pairing to this feast. You simply MUST try it ! Thankyou to the whole team

Service, food, atmosphere all faultless. Not a special occasion as such, met a friend for a regular catch up but was made special by being in The Ivy!
