Kearton Country - Richmondshire

Visited the tea rooms whilst in Thwaite for a trip down memory lane (friend used to stay in house two doors down as a child and spent hours with her sister playing in the river). The staff were super friendly, the menu was extensive (difficult to choose) and I experienced my first traditional Americano coffee. Didn't want to leave and would highly recommend.

We popped in here on a damp day when we just wanted a cuppa. We went through the tea room door and looked for a table large enough for 5. As there were already a number of people we found ourselves in the restaurant at the back (which opened off the tea room). The waitress was laying tables for the evening, but willingly left one for us to use. We ordered our drinks at the counter, and they were brought to us along with a large, complementary biscuit each. They looked home made and were tasty. Thank you.

We called for a cup of tea during a walk. Good value and good friendly service with pleasant seating both inside and outside.

Booked in one evening for a meal. The food was very mediocre at best, 70's throw back, very surprised considering I saw the chef and he was in his 30's. Veg was what I'd expect to be served in a hospital or retirement home unfortunately. The food service is also very bizarre and something that you'd expect to see in Faulty Towers. The man who was clearly the owner was a very rude person indeed. Everything was too much trouble apparently! We would never go back.

We stopped here for coffee on our way to Keld. A lovely little tea room, we had crumpets with jam which were great, and the waitress checked if they were vegan for us before we ordered anything. She was very helpful.
