Ripponden Restaurants

We ordered the pumpkin fritte and rocket salad for appetisers, the spaghetti with parsley, chilli and breadcrumbs, fettuccine with Cornish crab and the tomato and mozzarella pizzetta. We had heard good things and had obviously seen the Instagram hype but even still it exceeded expectations. Everything was 10/10. Best tiramisu I’ve ever had! We will be back.

The rib-eye was absolutely perfect, succulent and cooked to perfection! All four sides were delicious, we highly recommend the turnsworth mash, beef dripping fries, creamy spinach and mac&cheese. The wine was rich and the sticky toffee pudding was the cherry on top. The service was great, our host checked up on us regularly and made sure we had everything we needed. You never have to wonder how to call over for some help! The restaurant is beautiful and feels old and rustic however the noise levels were way too high, the acoustics need to be looked into as I found myself almost having to yell across the table. Some light jazz music would also be nice!

Devour has always been our favourite restaurant for ambience, decor, staff and service but food has been a bit variable sometimes. We have visited and had great food then another time not so great. The style of food is Italian and a lot of the main courses come with pasta and this has not always been our choice. So we were delighted with the Festive menu which had a great variety of fish and meat dishes without pasta and certainly won our votes. The smoked salmon and prawn roulade was delicious as was the salmon in lobster bisque and the pork chop We had our usual lovely time with great staff and wonderful festive ambience but our visit was vastly improved with the more varied menu Thanks to all and merry Christmas

My husband and I enjoyed an excellent Christmas lunch here today. It wasn't too noisy, despite some large groups there. The serving staff were friendly and helpful and the food was top class. The rooms were nicely decorated with muted colours for Christmas (nothing garish.) It was altogether a super experience.

Smashing food and staff, loved Mel, Lucas and Jonny today, regular lunch spot
