  Great news the Bistro has hit #1 of 36 on local Trip Advisor ratings. Thanks to customers and staff who have been so enthusiastic. Our family own and operate the Bistro we created in Ripon with our youngest James King who is a keen chef. We specialise in the best of local produce presented with a flair. Top cuisine at reasonable prices - its Yorkshire after all. Sadly we had to close the doors - still top of Trip Advisor 2 months later, but footfall and resources did not allow us to deliver the standard we wanted. Show less
