1. The Old Deanery

4.8

Exceptional(69)

££££Price: Very Expensive

• British • Ripon

Booked 1 time today

Dining at The Old Deanery is an immersive experience, and you move through the building as you dine. Arrive into the cosy welcome lounge for pre-dinner drinks; chat, get comfortable, and relax – there will be no classical piano and hushed tones in here! Move through to the bar where you can watch some of the chefs work before they invite you to take your first course. The main event takes place in the restaurant, but forget white tablecloths and stilted service; the food may be formal but the atmosphere is not. Finally, you can retire after dinner to a cosy chair and enjoy a coffee and petits fours. Stay the night and enjoy views of either the lovely garden, or striking Cathedral. Then wake to a home-made breakfast board of granola, yoghurt, continental bites, and cooked goodness: A breakfast with a difference and the best way to sign off your stay.

What an amazing place Surrounding and venue itself is beautiful very tastefully decorated and the right amount of space between diners We arrived and were shown quickly to our table , then given snacks . These were a pre taste of the food to come and oh my god they were so tasty , the venison salami was honestly the best I’ve tasted and when we asked it was homemade on the premises . Everything we ate was so flavourful and presented on amazing crockery . I could say what dish was my favourite but I did enjoy the deserrt and I’m not a dessert fan The wine (Austrian) recommended to accompany the duck dish was just perfect We will be back it was faultless
