Where To Eat & Drink

Ripon is fortunate to have a wide variety of award-winning cafes and eateries to tempt you throughout the day. Traditional tearooms can be found at Morgans (Kirkgate), the March Hare Gallery (Duck Hill) or Yesteryear Tea Shoppe (High Skellgate).

For contemporary dining look no further than the Old Deanery (Minster Road), Lockwoods on North Street, or Dish’s (Kirkgate).

Perk Up café bar on the market square offers a truly stylish dining experience. From a smoked salmon and scrambled egg brunch to din¬ner using the best ingredients, including local game and meat, Perk Up prepares food with passion and serves it with flair. On a hot day Perk Up is the perfect place to eat outside on the terrace.

Venture further afield to the surrounding towns and villages and you’ll discover even more choice in food. Authentic Thai cuisine is a popular choice at The George Country Inn in Wath, whereas Vennells in Masham is receiving acclaim for its seasonal menus and tempting wine list. The Black-a-Moor pub (B6265 Boroughbridge road) is another firm favourite for its good quality food in a country pub setting.
