Very impressed. The food was delicious. Service attentive but not obtrusive. A lovely setting to enjoy a relaxing lunch.

Enjoyed an excellent festive evening meal and lunch in the bistro. The food was well presented and faultless. Customer service was friendly and professional. The Leyburn brass band were superb as always, and the event extremely well organised with covid considerations. Well done Tennants.

A proper full English breakfast for a very reasonable price. Beautifully cooked, (stunning fried Egg!!) complements to the chefs and staff for the impeccable service!!

Our last visit to the Garden Rooms for Sunday lunch two years ago was a great success and warranted a 5* review. A return visit for my birthday however was a major disappointment. Although service throughout was efficient and swift - the food was a...long way from the quality of our first visit. To start with although the pickled onions was an interesting accompaniment to my prawn starter, presentation was poor as everything was crammed into a bowl which made it difficult to eat and enjoy. More disappointments followed with our Sunday roasts as responses to the beef and chicken were mixed and there was a general consensus that the steamed vegetables contributed to the whole meal having a feeling of blandness. We wanted our desserts to redeem the meal but it didn't happen. For my lemon posset the shortbread was OK but the posset though lemony was just goo and I did not have the desire to finish it. The Garden Rooms was busy throughout with other diners and remains popular, but in future we are likely to take our custom elsewhere.More

The welcome and service was fantastic and the food was lovely and presented very nice ( afternoon tea ). How sad that the room had no atmosphere at all. But the main issue was the constant trolleys and beer kegs being moved passing very close...to are table also it’s great having a open kitchen but we were unable to talk for the sound of the food mixer beating away.. Felt very let down as it was a treat for a friends birthday.More

Breakfast this morning. I had eggs benedict and my husband had a full Yorkshire breakfast, both were excellent. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Always worth having a look at the displays in the main building.

I booked a table for 2 at 12 noon in the cafe. Our order for coffees and 2 x sausage, yorkshire pudding with veg, and 2 small desserts was taken promptly shortly after 12. The cafe quickly filled with other diners, and we watched as...people who came after us were getting their meals served. (We only had the coffee and cakes delivered). As time passed , and our stomachs rumbled, my husband managed to ask one of the staff if there was a problem as we had waited nearly 40 minutes for our lunch. A different member of staff came to apologise, and explained there had been a mix up somewhere. We waited a bit longer a I was a little bemused to see the chef(?) leave the kitchen and head off in the direction of the restaurant. He returned a few minutes later with what appeared to be a frozen Yorkshire puddings and some veg ( I may be mistaken) Eventually, after nearly an hour our lunch arrived. What a disappointment. Broccoli and cauliflower in an alternate circle around a medium Yorkshire pudding , 2 sausages and some onion gravy. Only lukewarm too. We eat fairly regularly at the cafe, and took our daughter and grad-daughter there for lunch only 2 weeks ago. On that occasion my daughter selected the Sausage and Yorkshire Pudding meal, it looked much more appetising than the meal we had today, which is one reason why we opted to try it. I hope our next meal at Tennants cafe is much better!More
