Best Sunday Lunch Restaurants in Ilkley

Our first time at The Hawthorn. Was a lovely restaurant. Greeted by very helpful polite staff. Very accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble. Efficient and professional. Pleasant and polite. I had the flat iron Steak with peppercorn sauce and crispy skin on fries. Absolutely delicious. Couldn’t find fault. Service was very prompt. The fries were the best I’ve ever tasted. My husband had the Burger with fries and he really enjoyed it too. Plenty of choices from the wine and beverage section. Prosecco was very nice as was the Ilkley beer. We didn’t have room for desert. Again nice choices from a traditional menu. Very nice indeed and we will definitely be returning.

Food was absolutely outstanding and the price very reasonable.

The staff couldn't be more helpful and we thought it was equivalent to the 2 star Michelin meals we have previously had but the price is a lot less. My guests are particularly picky and hard to impress but they thought it was wonderful. The Sunday lunch is amazing value. There was so much food we couldn't finish it .As always the food is extremely good. I usually end up feeling frustrated when we go out because l can cook better meals than is served but this certainly isn't the case here. The atmosphere is lovely and very relaxing. It's informal and friendly and the staff are very attentive and couldn't do enough to be more helpful. I love the stained glass windows and the very comfortable upholstered chairs Thank you box tree for a lovely relaxing time.

The food and service was excellent. There were 5 of us girls and we were quite loud but the waitress was so friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious & although it is a bit pricey I think it is well worth it. Definitely go back !

Have had excellent weekday lunches there before but this was the first time for Sunday lunch and we were not disappointed and will definitely be going back again and would recommend it
