Featured Skelton On Ure Restaurants
1. General Tarleton
British, Modern restaurant in Ferrensby
Boroughbridge Rd - HG5
This comfortable gastropub with rooms is well-known to some who travel the northerly reaches of the A1 (off which it is to be found) and was in days long gone by a sibling to the Angel at Hetton. After an up-and-down performance in recent years, it’s now been relaunched since August 2025 as part of Tommy Banks’s expanding northern empire and provides superior pub classics and more ambitious fare at restaurant-level prices. Reports please!
2. The Old Deanery
British, Modern restaurant in Ripon
Minster Rd - HG4
“Just fabulous on every level” hail fans – particularly of the cuisine at this restaurant with rooms in a Jacobean mansion facing Ripon Cathedral. “Chef Adam Jackson never fails to impress” with his “exceptional tasting menu” – eight courses for £95 per person in the evening – which enables you to discover the building, with different parts of the meal served in different places. (There are other options for lunch and afternoon tea). Top Menu Tip – “sea bass with a very delicate jalapeno sauce that just elevated the dish… and the drink paired with it was a sparkling Japanese sake....amazing”.
3. ChefsTable at TRUEfoods
British, Modern restaurant in Melmerby
9 Hallikeld Close - HG4
“An unbelievable experience from start to finish – Josh Barnes has made the setting of sitting around an island within the kitchen an intimate yet fun occasion” at this chef’s table within an industrial unit whose purpose is the manufacture of quality sauces and stocks for use by other chefs around the country. Fans say his 14-course tasting menu – for £165 per person, and which takes five hours to serve – is “one of the best meals to be had, with amazing food, spot-on wine pairing and service that’s next-level!” Don’t be more than 30 minutes late – otherwise you forfeit your deposit and don’t get fed!
4. Crab & Lobster
Fish & seafood restaurant in Asenby
Dishforth Rd - YO7
An “original ambience” contributes to the charm of this eccentrically decorated hotel-restaurant, bedecked in grandfather clocks, chandeliers, tubas and drums – and part of the 18th-century Crab Manor, where the quirky décor continues in five globe-trotting bedrooms. “Tasty” fish is the specialism, but there was also praise this year for the “nice game”. Service can still occasionally lag – “maybe short staffed”? In Summer 2024, they added a sun-trapped terrace, further amplifying the “nice surroundings”.
