Staff very friendly, had the calamari for starter which was really nice but the scotch egg didn’t live up to expectations. Mains we had the mini meat platter, 2 out of 3 steaks were really good but the sirloin was a bit grisly. On the whole very nice.

Friendly staff and quick service. Only thing is the pudding order was incorrect (asked for vanilla ice cream and got lemon sorbet)

A wonderful valentines meal out with my husband at my favourite Ilkley restaurant. Our second visit here in 2 days after a sneaky lunch date yesterday. The service is first rate, friendly, helpful and totally professional. The steaks are fabulous, and the lunch time burger was pretty good too. We will be back soon.

It had been a few months since we’d been here for Sunday lunch and it’s certainly improved from what was still a good meal then. Lovely beef and plenty of it this time. We’ll be back soon.

Excellent service. Really nice meat dishes that were all enjoyed. Good vegetarian menu but unfortunately the veggie dishes are sadly not as good as they should be. I’ve had the risotto and linguine on separate visits but both were stodgy and lacking in taste. They didn’t taste freshly cooked. Shame. Puddings are glorious!

It was just what we needed, hit the nail on the head, great, thank you. Only small downside was it was quite quiet, but it was a wet and cold Wednesday afternoon, otherwise well worth the visit.

The food was good. The service as it should what you would expect, nothing special so when the restaurant adds 10% on to the bill it annoys me. I will decide if and how much tip to leave. I find this method of charging sly and dishonest

I returned to the Ilkley Cow after giving an unfavourable review at my last visit. I am so happy to have given the restaurant another chance. I can say it was wonderful in every way . The food and service were second to none. I will return again and hope the standards continue. Thank you Ilkley Cow

Amazing food and wonderful customer service. A great experience all round. We’ve become regulars and we’ve found that the Ilkley Cow never disappoints. They’re also child-friendly, which is enormously useful for a young family. Thumbs up.
