Chapter 17

Just great food and ambiance. I always have lunch here when I visit. The restaurant was refurbished by a television show in the last year. We shared a vegetarian mezze and a carafe of merlot which followed a prosecco. We had a range of tasty dishes which we thoroughly enjoyed. They will close after Christmas. Looking forward to coming back in the not too distant future.

Bright, friendly and efficient service. The belly of pork was cooked to perfection (body tender and well-seasoned, crackling removed to ultimate crisp) and enough to feed 4. I wish I'd had room for delicious-sounding desserts. The S African red was decent - it would have been good to have one more wine by the glass.

This place way exceeded my expectations. Firstly, it’s a lovely space. Dog friendly too. We ate off the a la carte menu (pictured). I had the soft shelled crab to start and the octopus as a main. I’ve rarely seen soft shelled crab on a menu in the UK & when I’ve seen & tried it it’s been poor so I ordered more in hope than expectation. It was superb. Crisp, sweet and succulent. The accompanying green salad was a great accompaniment. The main octopus dish was incredibly tender, in my opinion they shouldn’t bother with the King Prawn & squid as it distracts from the sheer quality of cooking & taste of the octopus. We shared a dessert of almond & marmalade cake with almond biscuits & ice cream. I’m not a big dessert fan as I don’t have a sweet tooth but this was good. I’d have chosen a cheeseboard of local Yorkshire & Lancashire cheeses if that had been an option. I’ve just moved to this area & will come back to eat here again.

Myself and my partner visited last night for my birthday and were absolutely blown away. We ate upstairs on the a la carte menu, we had the salmon and grilled cauliflower as mains and just wow. We didn’t want the meal to end!!! We asked the waitress to give compliments to the chef. Gorgeous venue, the staff were all so smiley welcoming and attentive. I will be recommending this place to everyone I speak to!!!! Thank you again we most certainly will be back :)

The food here is amazing! I had a home made soft drink of strawberry and rhubarb which was very refreshing. My partner, Col had the steak sandwich which was excellent and I had the Scarborough sausage and crispy bacon on sourdough bread with mushrooms and tomato. We have to say that every mouthful was heavenly. Definitely a place worth the visit. Excellent service by staff 😊

I went for brunch here and although the service was great and the food was nice, I felt that it was overpriced for what the dish actually consisted of. There is also a 99p carbon charge is automatically added to the bill. I'm not against this, however it should be optional at the point of paying the bill given the already higher price of the food.

I've eaten in many places, and consider myself lucky to have tried some excellent restaurants over the years. I am struggling to think of anywhere as good a Chapter 17 for the food. Go for the platters. Get everything. It's a wee bit pricey on balance but the food is top notch. Hence the empty plates!
