YES we are! We're open from 11am daily and praying for some sun to enable us to celebrate our new outdoor seating.

No you don't though we would recommend it weekends. We keep a certain number of tables free for walk-ins because we need a little spontaneity in life.

We take all our bookings through our website - please do not use social media to book a table. We also struggle to answer the phones during service so kindly ask that you do not phone to book a table.

We require a card pre-authorisation of £10 per head to secure the table. Private hire bookings we require a £10 per head deposit before confirming the space.

We carefully select the best wines, alcohol-free drinks, port and sherry to bring you a well-rounded drinks list for those who don't drink beer. We also serve a small number of locally made spirits and mixed drinks with our usual frammy twist

Of course! We're a continental cafe bar so you can come in for one drink, some nibbles or something more substantial

Absolutely! We have a delicious range of small plates alongside our legendary charcuterie and cheese boards and a small selection of desserts to round your meal off.

You can instant-book a table for groups up to 8 on either bar's page. For groups of 9+ use the booking widget to submit an enquiry and one of our bookings managers will respond with availability.

There is a heavy dairy presence in both our bar's kitchens due to the majority of our food containing cheese. Whilst we have dishes that don’t contain dairy and take steps to avoid cross-contamination, due to the small size of our kitchens we cannot guarantee that there won’t be any traces within any dish prepared by our team.

We would advise those with severe allergies not to eat within our bars. While we endeavour to avoid it, we cannot guarantee lack of cross-contamination.

Yes we have gluten free crackers and bread available - just speak to your server when ordering.

We have a small range of vegetarian and vegan options on both of our menus available but as our name suggests we do have a heavy presence of meat in a lot of our dishes.

Both of our bars are situated in old buildings and as such there are unfortunately major accessibility restrictions. There are steps at both entrances in Ilkley as well as all the toilets being downstairs so we cannot accommodate wheelchairs here.

We have a small step up at out main front door, on arrival please ask for our ramp. If booking a table please choose MAIN GROUND FLOOR where we also have an accessible toilet.

Yes we have a small range of retail items to purchase located near the kitchen in each bar. All beer cans/bottles, wine, charcuterie and cheese on our food menus alongside our sourdough loaves are available to take away.
