Breakfast/brunch Ripon or Richmond Yorkshire

[Moirarosesgarden]

Can anyone recommend somewhere in either of these places or nearby (not far off the A1M)? Need to be dog-friendly and ideally bookable so we are guaranteed a table. Thanks in advance :)

I live in Richmond, although have never been out for breakfast or brunch.
My local knowledge would suggest the following places -

Morro Lounge (definitely dog friendly) and located right on the Market Square.

Holly Hill Inn. Also dog friendly, about a mile out of town. Pub type place, beautiful views from the garden. Very much a 'locals' type pub, but the breakfast gets good reviews.

Granny's Kitchen - very central, excellent local reputation, but dogs only allowed in the (sheltered) courtyard.

Middleton Lodge - very 'high brow' type place, dogs allowed only in the snug. Roughly a 20 minute drive from Richmond. Has an excellent reputation (possibly a Michelin star?)

Little Drummer Boy Tearoom - another lovely local place in the centre of town.

Ellerton Lakeside Cafe - 15 minute drive from town (but heading away from the A1M direction). Dog friendly, out in the countryside.

Mainsgill Farm Shop café - right next to the A1M, so possibly the most convenient for you? Lovely local food, and a large hall of shopping.

I'm not sure of booking arrangements. Possibly you'd need to book Middleton Lodge, but the others are likely unnecessary.

Enjoy North Yorkshire!

Thanks so much, for so many options! We will be en route to the lakes so hence needing to be close to the road. The lakeside one sounds good as might fit a dog walk in too. Thank you again!

Thanks for the recommendations Jock. We’re off to Richmond for a week’s break soon and will check out your suggestions.

If you’re en route to the lakes then definitely Mainsgill on the A66

And you can say hi to the Bactrian camels!

Aw, happy to help!
You'll be very welcome here. It's a lovely town, with lots to do.
