Restaurants and stuff

Yes I spotted that it was third in the Estrella Damm list. When I look at some of the other entries which are listed below it, then I am totally baffled as to what criteria they have applied!

Yes it was very decent. But the presentation was casual, some of the veg perhaps a bit overcooked, the staff although some were pleasant didn’t make a ‘special’ effort, our table was cramped and the decor was ‘shabby chic’ but nothing special.

For anyone who wants the full list here are the two links.

The Star, Angel, Shibden Mill Inn, and The White Swan (at Fence), offer a more special experience, whilst the Scran & Scrallie and White Hart offer a comparable food but are listed far lower.

Lists are helpful, but not sure on what objective basis it was put together?

Still a useful reference guide if you are looking for a nice meal.

 

It was so rough…….I never went. Liked the Crown & Kettle with the R100 or 101 panelling!
