Sunday lunch for four was fantastic. All elements were delicious. The food is very good quality and for us is unrivalled elsewhere. The service is always excellent, professional but in an informal friendly manner. We had a lovely afternoon thank you.
We came for Sunday lunch on the 10th December. The service, ambience and atmosphere were terrific. The food was simply fantastic. Our Sunday Roast was up there with the Savoy Grill - previously on my list as the best ever! Our vegetarian diner said the...starter and dessert were the best she’d ever had! Our son and daughter in law have just moved to the area so we’re sure to become regular diners! Fantastic food!More
I took my wife here for a surprise birthday lunch. From the moment we entered the premises to the moment we left the service and attention to detail was simply perfect and well executed. Upon our arrival we were met by Damian who was the...perfect host. Damian had arranged a birthday balloon and card for my wife, a lovely gesture, Damian helped with the menu and general questions that I had. Whilst we were waiting for our starters a lovely gentleman approached our table and wished my wife a very happy birthday 🥳 I later found out it was Mr Lewis the proprietor. Mr Lewis again visited our table prior to us starting our main course and happily chatted with us and made us feel very comfortable and relaxed. Having had such a wonderful experience something I wasn’t expecting, we decided to stay for coffee after our amazing lunch. I asked Damian if it was possible to retire to the lounge for our tea and coffee, Damian stated once you have finished your lunch just make your way to the lounge and your drinks will be brought to you. No sooner had we sat down in the gorgeous lounge with the log burner going that our drinks arrived. We just wished we could have stayed longer but unfortunately the school run was calling. Throughout our visit all the staff that we both came into contact with were so friendly and professional. Can’t wait to return with family and friends.More
We enjoyed a superb meal at the restaurant celebrating my birthday- beautiful oysters, seafood pancake and hake risotto were delicious
Our 6th visit and it was excellent, as always. From arrival to departure everything was perfect, very friendly staff, beautiful food and drink, we loved every minute of our stay. So nice to see the Heifer decorated for Christmas. We look forward to returning again...soon.More

We took the In-Laws for a family meal last Saturday 2 December. As always the food was very tasty, with generous portions and the service amazing. The only observation would be that my meal and my husband's wasn't as hot as we would've liked. I...took this as a one off, but if it happens in the future I would ask for it to be heated to our liking.More

We have visited many times before, always enjoyed it. The food and the ambiance. This tone did not disappoint. A very high standard as is normal.

Always amazing food and great service, dog friendly bar and just all round 5 star service in the heart of Wensleydale. We both had the steak on the bone and it was huge and tasty, probably could have shared one haha. The desert, photo attached...was a tiramisu and one of the best we have had. Beautiful desert.More

Really nice place. Very luxurious. Took the dinner and b &b offer. The menu is limited on this offer, but very easy to transfer to a la carte and they deduct £30 from your bill. We stayed in the Chocolate room which was lovely. We...were a bit disappointed that the unlimited chocolate was mainly cadburys bars and lots of crunchies. Also the bedside chocolates were mainly Roses/ Quality street etc as it would have been lovely to try the hand made chocolates they sell. The little cakes and hot chocolate were good and nice toiletries. Good bed/ sleep and breakfast high quality.More

Yet another wonderful experience, more than just a restaurant, always like going to a friends for dinner. Exceptional food and service...and we're lucky enough to live just down the road! Thank you to the whole lovely WH team and particularly to `Krissy who kindly specially...prepared two of her famous lemon meringue pies for my wife's special birthday. Always a treat always a pleasure.More

Considering that there was a large (14 person) birthday party taking place directly behind us, the staff did an amazing job at keeping them contained and not making us feel like we had intruded on someone else’s event. The choices of starters and desserts were...fantastic and all course tasted incredible. My criticism would be that the options for the main course weren’t as exciting as the starters or desserts but they were cooked to perfection. Finally thank you to the lovely staff who gifted my future son his own little heifer, it honestly made our night!More

A few weeks ago an old school friend told me that he and his wife would be staying in Askrigg for week. Given that we live in North Yorkshire and hadn’t seen them since before COVID (4 years) their invitation to meet up was a...great idea…but where to meet for lunch? All my favourite haunts in the area were closed on Mondays, so my friend did an internet trawl and came up with the Wensleydale Heifer. It’s not a place I had been to previously, but seemed highly rated, and we’re always looking for new places to try in the Dales. There was a warm welcome for us and our two small dogs, and our friends were already seated in the cosiest of alcoves when we arrived. We were sitting in the ‘dog friendly’ part of the pub, and not in the main restaurant, but where we were was great…very comfortable and laid back. Not having seen each other for a while the menu was ignored in a megastream of initial chat. The waiter came back a few times to see if we had decided and to take our order, very patiently I thought, and on his third attempt we had by then made our selection from the table d’hote menu. I had the soup to start…a kind of lobster bisque, but that under describes just how good it was. Homemade, rich and warming, just what you need on a cold winter’s day. Two of our group had Caesar salad, and the fourth person the mussels. The salad was beautifully presented, and pronounced excellent by the two, the mussels could have been a main course, so generous was the portion. On to mains. I had fish and chips which was just right, with the fish served as goujons in a light and tasty batter. Two had the poussin, and the final plate was sea bass. All beautifully cooked and tasty. We still had room for pudding, and why not? Three of us chose the winter berry Eton Mess, and one sticky toffee pudding. The empty plates at the end of the meal were testament to how tasty it all was. This was really great quality food, in a comfortable relaxed environment. The staff were friendly and ‘on the ball’ and even found time to make a fuss of the dogs. Also, this being Yorkshire, it was pleasing that it didn’t break the bank. It’s also nice to know of little quirks when visiting a new place. The excellent display of seaside postcards from a bygone era in the loos may also add to your entertainment. It’s amazing what they got away with in the 50s and 60s. We’ll definitely go back.More
