Ukrainian Independence Day

It’s been a pleasure having our new found Ukrainian friends living with us here at Westwood Lodge for the past three and a half years. As we mark Ukrainian Independence Day, let’s hope that peace returns to Ukraine soon 🇺🇦

The Top Places to Eat and Drink, as chosen by YOU!

In no particular order…

• Emporio Italia, Railway Road - friendly place with a true Italian feel. No longer open in the evening.

• Quinta - Mediterranean cuisine on Wells Road. 

• The Vine off main car park - a small and friendly Italian. 

• The Swan (Addingham) - The best of the surviving Addingham pubs.

• The Timble Inn, Timble - 20 minute drive but beautifully restored village pub, now almost totally food focused. 

• Betty's Tea Rooms, The Grove - expensive, but the crowds just keep coming!

• The Wheatley Arms, Ben Rhydding - Good food , especially the Early Bird menu.

• Friends of Ham on Wells Road - Great atmosphere and tasty sharing platters.

• Bistro Pierre at The Crescent Inn, Brook Street - a popular buzzing place with a great bar. 

• The Box Tree, Church Street - If only a lapsed Michelin star will meet your needs, you must go!

• The Veggie - great local vegetarian option, usually daytime only though.

• Bah't at Ale and Wine Bar, Cunliffe Road - much more of an ale house than a wine bar!

• The Ilkley Cow, New Brook Street - and its new sibling The Yorkie Cow.

• Brooks Sri Lankan Tapas - a new favourite among our friends.

• Pranzos - Fantastic pasta dishes, moved from Ben Rhydding to the main car park in Ilkley.

• J Reserve - good food all day. A great spot on The Grove especially on a sunny day!

• Galo’s Kitchen - top-rated Italian food in Ilkley.

• Pizza Express, Ilkley Station - it's a chain, but for families, it's hard to beat!
