Best Sunday Lunch Restaurants in Ripon

What a wonderful evening this was, from our initial arrival and being taken to our table, to our departure with a lovely send off from the staff, so polite and attentive throughout. We had the Christmas 4 course menu, which was absolutely amazing, we were all stuffed to the brim, but thoroughly enjoyed it. Made a great start to our Christmas celebrations x Been to The Inn many times now, but this was by far the best. Thank you to all the staff x

I’ve tried a few Ivy restaurants around the country including Covent Garden last week but my home town Harrogate branch is the best, great staff, the outdoor experience at Christmas is spectacular and comfortably warm, and the food is exceptionally well prepared.

Lovely venue, staff very friendly & helpful, food delicious, the only downside quite noisy because of the open bar area next to the restaurant! But overall very enjoyable.

A most perfect experience. The team at the old deanery strike a really great balance between efficiency, professionalism with a good dose of warmth and can do. The afternoon tea consists beautifully fresh finger sandwiches (we asked for a few more and these were given with pleasure) and a small savoury tartlet, delicious with prawn and dill. Now…. The scones well they are just about the most epic scones, we are still talking about them! Short and crisp top and crumbly unctuous.. even a small shot glass of chocolate ganache which sadly couldn’t be finished due to our expanded waists! Teas, coffee & the most exquisite English sparkling wine were the ideal pairing to this feast. You simply MUST try it ! Thankyou to the whole team

The Silva Bells has become our favourite place to eat when we visit Ripon, the food is always amazing as is the service & best of all they are dog friendly so our pet Bert can come too. Try it for yourself, you won’t be disappointed
