More team photos from our shoot a little while ago with Wooden Hill Images 📸

The brief was: “Just go about your day and pretend the camera’s not here”

Turns out that’s harder than it sounds....but actually these happy moments are a bit more our vibe than the serious posey ones anyway 😊

A great first week back ✨

Thank you to everyone who joined us last week. After a short break, it was lovely to be back and welcoming guests through the door again.

We're back open for drinks from tomorrow, with food service returning from Thursday. There are still tables available Thursday to Saturday for our tasting menu if you'd like to join us.

And if you're just passing by, walk-ins are always welcome for lunch, coffee, cake, or a drink.

An intimate setting with truly grand views.

Set within our Jacobean mansion in the heart of Ripon, our restaurant offers a setting that feels both personal and impressive.

Pictured here at the Cathedral End, sweeping bay windows frame the magnificent Ripon Cathedral, creating an unforgettable backdrop for memorable moments around the table. At the opposite end, views stretch across our beautiful walled gardens.

From long lunches and tasting menu experiences to private celebrations and events, it’s a space designed to bring people together.

The beauty is in the detail and every detail matters ✨

A fine dining menu is more than just dinner, it’s the result of years spent experimenting with flavours and ingredients. Discovering how even the smallest touch of something can completely change a mouthful.

Adam & Ben, a friend of The Old Deanery 😊

Ben has kindly helped us out in the kitchen on several occasions, always bringing a brilliant attitude and a warm smile with him. As you can probably tell from the photo, he’s an all-round lovely guy!

A dish that celebrates the whole animal and all the flavour that comes with it.

Using more than just the prime cuts isn’t just about ticking a sustainability box it’s about respect for the ingredient, for the farmer and for creating deeper, more interesting flavours from parts that are often overlooked.

This philosophy runs through everything we cook, from the first service of the day to the last, but it's on a plate like this where you really see and taste what that means.
