British, Traditional Restaurants in Horsforth
1. The Tannin Level
British, Traditional restaurant in Harrogate
5 Raglan St - HG1
“Very enjoyable tasty food and friendly service” underpin a formula that’s won enduring success for this stalwart cellar in the lower ground floor of a solid Victorian mansion which celebrates its 40th year in 2025. The traditional-ish cuisine aims for ‘Yorkshire on a plate’ and the sensibly priced and focused menu covers all bases, including a selection of steaks.
2. The Lantern Room, Manor House Lindley
British, Modern restaurant in Huddersfield
The Manor House, 1 Lidget Street - HD3
Part of a Georgian-style hotel (originally built as an impressive pile for a local mill owner), this small (11 bedroom) hotel incorporates a restaurant, whose striking contemporary light fitting and bare-brick walls provide a modern contrast to the heritage associations of the period exterior. We didn’t receive quite enough reports on its 8-10 course tasting menus for £85 per person (there’s a simpler Sunday Lunch menu), but one reporter says this is an “excellent hotel restaurant with outstanding food” and it has a cut-above rating from the AA of three rosettes.
3. Whitelocks Luncheon Bar
British, Traditional restaurant in Leeds
Turk’s Head Yd, off Briggate - LS1
The city’s oldest pub – tucked away for more than three centuries in a narrow alley off Briggate and once hailed by poet laureate John Betjeman as ‘the very heart of Leeds’ – is no mere museum piece, and does a “fabulous Sunday roast” among other hearty dishes based around ingredients sourced from ‘God’s own country’. The ornate and well-preserved interior decor is well worth a look, too.
4. The Garden Room, The Devonshire Arms Hotel and Spa
British, Traditional restaurant in Skipton
Bolton Abbey - BD23
Something of a scattergun of reports this year on this light-filled dining room – a much-windowed, conservatory style building with good country views of the Bolton Abbey Estate and which creates a contemporary dining space at the Duke of Devonshire’s plush country getaway. The best reports say its “great food and service with regular wine tasting experiences” are excellent all-round and another highlight is breakfasting here (“a real treat to start the day”). But there’s also the odd more middling review or disappointment (“Afternoon tea was meant to be a real treat as part of a spa day. There was just so much of it… it didn’t feel like a nice indulgence… better with just the bits they did well: scones and little sandwiches”).
5. Eric's
British, Traditional restaurant in Huddersfield
73-75 Lidget St - HD3
2024 Review: Chef-patron Eric Paxman trained under Marco Pierre White in London and Bill Granger in Australia, and has cooked for luminaries including Arnold Schwarzenegger, who vowed ‘I’ll be back’ – a sentiment shared by numerous guests at the venture he opened in his hometown 14 years ago. “Lunch and early-bird evening specials are an exceptional bargain”.
