Blue Lion - Speisekarte

Had the halibut but at over £32 it was so disappointing. A meagre portion size and so thin it was dry on top. For the price the quality was very poor

the blue lion in east witton is a classic well-preserved wensleydale coaching hotel with great time comfort and charm. the accommodation is very good, and.

Sunday lunch at this spectacular pub, the essence of olde england. We sat in a settle looking at the amazing fireplace and cheery fire which brightened up a very windy and chilly day. Very generous portions of the roast sirloin of beef and a good variety of vegetables. I imagine the horseradish sauce was homemade as it tasted like it. What a great pub to live close by, lucky residents of East Witton. Speisekarte ansehen

We stayed at the Blue Lion for two nights to celebrate a family birthday, having eaten here on previous trips and had a wonderful time. The hotel is comfortable and cosy, the staff were lovely and the food is really incredible. The atmosphere in the dining area with the wood fires is lovely in winter. It’s ideally placed for walking a lovely weekend of long walks in the dales and delicious suppers afterwards!

What a lovely , cosy pub. We were made to feel very welcome . A traditional pub with roaring open fires and an excellent choice of beers and spirits. Also very dog friendly which is always a bonus . We had a delicious meal on our last nights stay in East Whitton and after several recommendations it certainly didn’t disappoint . Simply delightful … thank you for making us feel so welcome and keeping us very warm cosy on such a cold wet evening. Will definitely return.

We had not been here for a few years and on our previous it was OK but nothing more and for the money it needs to be better than that. At the time the place seemed to be living on its past reputation. Decided to try again recently and it really was excellent. For starters we had carpaccio of beef and cheese soufflé, both of which were delicious. Mains of pork tenderloin wellington and sea bass were both fantastic in particular the pork which was beautifully cooked and came with a wagyu black pudding. Staff very pleasant but the place has a number of separate dining areas and staff can occasionally overlook you. Would definitely return. Speisekarte ansehen

We were recommended this restaurant as we were visiting Grantley Hall for our anniversary, we managed to fit in a visit for lunch the day before. So glad we did, truly delicious food, it’s so nice to see a restaurant to leave the decor as it was intended, old fashioned and real and total focus on delivering amazing food. As soon as we viewed the menu I knew it would be good, for me to have a soufflé on the menu is always a good sign of a top confident chef We ended up having 3 courses for lunch as the menu was so good. We already want to come back and will make an effort to, it’s about 2 hours drive. Staff were friendly and warm. So much history in this restaurant too. Highly recommend, and...

Was trying to figure out, after my recent experience, why this restaurant was #2 in East Witton and not #1. I think it’s partly the rooms letting it down, and people’s expectations from price. I’ll review our overnight stay separately under ‘hotel’, because that was average. The food however was excellent I can’t fault it. Everything was perfect. The soufflé, soup, steak and I had pork wellington, all gorgeous. The service was lovely. If anyone is reading these reviews from the BL I think it would help if people were offered a choice whether they eat in the bar or restaurant. We absolutely loved being in the bar with its open fire and informality, but I realise some people would prefer the r...

We have eaten here many times as we have a holiday lodge locally, tonight was a disappointment. Arrived slightly early for our 7.15pm table so ordered a drink at the bar and were taken to our table in The Snug. Orders promptly taken and served by a young girl who was friendly and chatty. Food was delicious as ever, the scallops to start so tasty, my husband declined a starter as he loves their desserts. Seabass main perfectly cooked and the pork tenderloin Wellington a welcome addition to the menu. Our plates were cleared at 8.05pm, did we want to see dessert menu yes please. 30mins later, no dessert menu. By this point we had no drinks left either. We did try to catch the waiters eye when i...
