Firstly a bit of local knowledge I gleaned. It is owned by a local farming family and much of the meat comes from their own farm and many of the customers are farmers. Think a 'reet fill!The Pantry is above the SPAR shop also owned by the same family. It is best described as a brightly lit function suite that serves home fare in large portions. There is a bar and a canteen style servery though my food was brought to the table. It is clean but lacks any real character or ambiance.The food is honest and homely with good quality meat buried under a mountain of veg and gravy. The staff are efficient though not what you would call effusive and even less so with locals.The atmosphere is a bit stark but the bright lighting and function room furniture don't help and some of the decorations are domestic and look out of place.The food is not cheap but the quality of the meat is first rate and you get a good fill for your money.Worth going on market day [Tuesday) to get a sample of local Dales culture.If you are a visitor to Hawes I would recommend you go just to see real people in a real setting and now it is all genuine. No faux hipster bollock here!If you are local I suspect you have already been.

A gem of a cafe on the high street with a very welcoming and warm atmosphere for the discerning motorcyclist, cyclist, trekker or tourist alike. Don't let the narrow entrance and stairs put you off, as once at the top it opens up into a large and spacious room with friendly staff offering a variety of fare.

Amazing food! Couldn't fault it at all. You could tell the food was all freshly prepared and it was all cooked to perfection. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Hawes.
Visited in February 2023 whilst staying with friends at Aysgarth Lodges. Was very impressed with the all day breakfast which 2 of us had and the burger. Decided to return whilst again staying at Aysgarth. All four of us ordered the all day breakfast and were very very disappointed. The sausages were deep fried as were the hash brown and black pudding, all of which items were overcooked. Indeed the black pudding was tasteless. My egg was not cooked and was watery on the top. The baked beans were barely warm. Tomatoes all bit burnt on the top but not cooked inside. No-one came to ask how our food was. Had we not paid up front, I would have been asking for money off. Indeed we were shocked at the fact the price had gone up considerably since February. We are returning to stay at Aysgarth in January but will certainly be giving this place a miss. If I enjoy a restaurant/pub/cafe I always write a good review but equally if not impressed then have to be honest in my review.

We met some really nice friends who took us out for dinner here and a few drinks. The food was really nice and the service was quick. Staff were also friendly.

As other have said (so many times) this is a little gem that doesn't rip you off, excellent quality and quantity. Lovely owner. We went for breakfast and the local fire officers were having breakfast before the Sunday parade - beepers went off and they were gone! A fantastic community that really deserves the respect and sensible tourism.The food was hot, tea and coffee in large portions and hot, all drinks sensibly priced.Worth a visit. Worth a tip.Vegetarian options: Clearly sign options.Parking: Early parking is easy, free parking around and about, limited wait on street parking. During busy tourism seasons, it's obviously a bit more difficult.

Went for lunch on 10th of November. I had a toasted sandwich and salad. Halfway through my salad I pulled from my mouth a 1foot long hair!! I took the meal back and the girl just said "sorry" we will do you another meal!! None of the woman in the kitchen were wearing a hairnet!! Customer service somewhat lacking and needs looking at.
Lovely food, and a very happy
