Yummy Yorkshire Parlour & Hide & Hoof Restaurant Reviews

Okay, grab a cuppa and pull up a chair, because I have to tell you about two absolute gems I recently discovered in God’s Own Country—Yorkshire, obviously. We’re talking about Yummy Yorkshire Parlour and the Hide & Hoof Restaurant. Spoiler alert: I left both places feeling like a very happy, slightly wobbly, well-fed human.

The Yummy Yorkshire Parlour: A Dairy Dream

First up, let’s talk about the Parlour. If you’ve ever thought, “Gosh, I wish I could swim in a vat of creamy, dreamy ice cream,” this is the place for you. To be clear, that’s not allowed. But the fantasy is real.

The moment you walk in, it smells like a hug from a buttery cow. Seriously, the scent of fresh waffle cones and caramel hangs in the air like a delicious ghost.

I ordered the “Yorkshire Mess”—which is basically a trifle’s cousin who went to a dessert party and forgot to come home. It’s got brownie chunks, fudge sauce, and a mountain of their signature vanilla soft-serve.

Now, let’s talk about the cheese counter. Yes, you read that right. The ice cream parlour also sells artisan cheese. I don’t know who decided this was a good idea, but I want to shake their hand and give them a medal.

I grabbed a wedge of their Wensleydale with cranberries, and I swear I heard a harp play when I took the first bite. Pure magic. It’s the kind of place where you go for a scoop and end up leaving with a full picnic basket and a new best friend named Steve behind the counter.

What to Order

Don’t sleep on the “Salted Caramel Brownie Sundae.” It’s basically a dare to your taste buds. They also do a mean milkshake that is so thick, you’ll need to do arm exercises just to get the straw in.

Pro tip: bring a tiny appetite for the cheese. Or don’t. I brought zero appetite and just felt the consequences with a grin on my face. Totally worth it.

Hide & Hoof Restaurant: Where Meat Meets Magic

Now buckle up, because we’re moving from sweet to savory. Hide & Hoof is the restaurant that lives in the same family, and it’s like the cool older sibling who knows all the best secrets. The vibe is rustic but fancy, like a barn that decided to wear a tuxedo for the night.

I went for their famous Sunday lunch. The menu lists it as “for two to share,” but I’m a professional, so I ordered it for one. No judgment, please—my aspirations are just larger than my stomach.

The star of the show? The Yorkshire pudding. It’s not a pud; it’s a bathtub made of golden, crispy batter. You could literally hide a small family in it. And the roast beef? Cuts like butter and tastes like it lived a very happy, grass-filled life.

They serve it with a giant bowl of roasted root veggies, creamy mash, and a jug of gravy that I seriously considered drinking as a soup. I didn’t. But the waitress saw the look in my eyes and gave me a knowing nod.

The Sides That Steal the Show

You cannot, cannot, skip the “Dripping Fries.” They are cooked in beef dripping, and they’re so crispy and salty they might ruin fries for you forever. I’m not saying I daydream about them, but I’ve started making more trips to Yorkshire for “family visits.”

The mac and cheese also deserves a shoutout—it’s got a truffle oil drizzle and a breadcrumb crust that cracks like a perfect little sunset. Honestly, every bite felt like a tiny hug from a chef who cares.

The Hidden Connection

Here’s the fun part: both places use milk and meat from the same farm. So your ice cream and your steak are literally neighbors. Talk about farm-to-table with an emotional connection. It’s like the animals are all in on a delicious conspiracy.

Yummy Yorkshire Parlour is perfect for a sunny afternoon or a rainy one—because, let’s be honest, this is Yorkshire. Hide & Hoof is your go-to for celebrations, or for a Tuesday when you just need to feel like royalty.

I will say this: the service at both spots is insanely friendly. The staff treat you like an old mate who’s just popped round for a cuppa and a feast. One waitress even told me a joke about a sheep and a pub—I laughed so hard I nearly snorted my gravy.

Uplifting Conclusion (You Made It!)

So here’s the bottom line: if you ever find yourself wandering the green hills of Yorkshire with a rumbling tummy, make a beeline for Yummy Yorkshire Parlour and Hide & Hoof. They are proof that the best food comes from a place of love, laughter, and a little bit of mess.

You’ll leave the Parlour with a sugar high and a wedge of cheese tucked in your bag. You’ll leave Hide & Hoof with a full heart and a button that’s dangerously close to popping. And you’ll spend the whole drive home grinning, thinking about that giant Yorkshire pudding and wondering if you can fit in just one more scoop of ice cream.

Go on, treat yourself. You deserve a little bit of Yorkshire magic. And remember: calories don’t count when you’re having fun—or when you’re in a good mood, or when it’s a Tuesday. Honestly, just go. I’ll see you at the cheese counter. Save me a slice of the Wensleydale.
