Here in the restaurant at the Old Deanery our aim is to provide you with an exciting and enjoyable dining experience. Our small team of young chefs have created a menu of modern British dishes to try and capture the essence of North Yorkshire and the surrounding areas. All our food, from the bread to the ice cream, the chocolates and very much more, is prepared by us from fresh ingredients. We are passionate about the quality and locality of our produce and work closely with our suppliers to get the best possible ingredients.

Mrs Bells Blue
Made from ewe’s milk this cheese is delicately flavoured and creamy in texture. A slightly salty and complex blue flavour this cheese really tantalises the taste buds. This award winning cheese from Shepherds Purse near Thirsk is produced by Judy Bell.
Fountains Gold
Produced by the Wensleydale Creamery in Hawes, North Yorkshire. This cheese is exceptionally creamy, almost buttery cheddar type cheese, made from Jersey and Guernsey milk.
Ribblesdale Smoked
Produced by the Ribblesdale cheese makers in the misty Yorkshire hills. This goat’s cheese has a suggestion of chicory, almonds and wild herbs.
Blumin White
Another award winning cheese from Judy Bell, Blumin White is a cow’s milk cheese that punches above its weight in the battle for cheeseboard supremacy. Soft and creamy it has a slight likeness to European brie.
Coverdale
This cheese is produced by Wensleydale Creamery in Hawes, North Yorkshire. It is produced from cow’s milk and is smoother than the original Wensleydale but has a sharper flavour. A perfect creamy cheese with a little bit of bite.
Tea or coffee with petits fours £3.50 pp
Suppliers: Meat from Weatherheads of Pateley Bridge and Russell Hume of Boroughbridge; fish from M & J Seafoods of Peterlee; cheeses, fruit and vegetables from Delifresh of Bradford; venison from Holme Farmed venison of Boroughbridge and Sherburn in Elmet.
