Lockwoods Café bar and Restaurant aims to celebrate the best of Ripon's rich Cathedral City history, and the outstanding natural beauty of the surrounding area, whilst challenging it into the future. This theme of traditional and contemporary side by side is reflected in our decor, our Modern British and European menu, our extensive wine list, and the art on our walls.
We have completely refurbished the listed building, keeping original features such as the brick walls, wooden floors and skylight, while introducing relaxed seating, modern lighting, a state of the art kitchen and a zinc topped bar.
We are a family friendly venue that promises to cater for everybody, offering high quality delicious food, throughout the day and evening. We use the freshest ingredients from local producers and suppliers. By day we are an informal Café bar, and at night transform into an intimate restaurant, but still relaxed enough that you can just come in and enjoy a glass of wine.
Each month we hold special events around the themes of great food, wine and music. We look forward to welcoming you!
Lockwoods is open all day serving freshly roasted coffee, breakfast, tasty sandwiches, lunch, a great selection of wines, spirits, cocktails and beers, and an exciting evening menu. We provide free high speed wireless internet access (wi fi) for our customers, and also have gift vouchers and Flavours of Yorkshire Hampers which are perfect for birthdays or special occasions. Lockwoods On Location can cater for all your outside events.
