British Restaurants in Masham

“I will try to make this quick but it won't be easy.
We are spoiled for choice locally for fine dining. So these guys have their work cut out for them but they have absolutely smashed it out of the park!! As far as I am aware this is a relatively new restaurant but everyone is talking about it and for good reason. We've tried for weeks to book a table but struggled to get a reservation. We managed to claim a cancellation on our wedding anniversary. Whether this was actually a cancellation or kind gesture of an early-open table I'm not sure but we took it and it didn't disappoint.
Three words I would use to describe 'Where there's smoke' are Exclusive, Exquisite and Personal. From what we could gather there seemed to be only 3 members of staff, a manager, very friendly, warm welcoming and presented each course with an introduction. A young waitress, equally as friendly, who took turns presenting each course and couldn't do enough for us.. and seemed to know just what we wanted before we'd asked. And the chef, who we didn't get to meet but when trying to book I caught on the phone advised me he would have his manager call me. His food speaks volumes of his attention to detail and culinary perfection!!
We hadn't seen the menu or pricing before we arrived, it was a set menu of 5 courses with a selection of treats from the chef served with sourdough. Considering the local competition, exclusivity and excellence of the experience we expected this to be in the region of £100 - £200 pp (or should be) needless to say it was somewhat under this.
5 star doesn't seem enough for our experience. Thank you so much and look forward to visiting again.”

“Excellent breakfast with good service,serving 8 of us with no one having to wait as all food served together .”

“Great place lovely staff dog friendly and have the sweetheart of a waitress who’s only 13 who works so hard to please the customers and make them laugh the landlord doesn’t care who you are and treats you like he’s known you for years it’s amazing so cozy

Kid-friendliness: When we went the landlord gave them a lollipop and the waitress gave them bubbles”

“Excellent experience. Really good service. Well thought out and well executed food and wine choices on the tasting menu. Impressive dining ”
