The Olive Tree at Tates in Ripon

"A decent garden centre cafe. A good selection of food which was excellent. I'm not sure why they do table service in such a busy place. This slowed the whole turnover of customers down. There was a constant queue at the door waiting for tables. We could have been in and out in half the time if they had served us at the counter. There are too many large tables, it would be better to have more tables for two, which can be pushed together when there is a bigger group. It was a nice atmosphere and friendly service."

"Stopped here for brunch on Sunday morning. Had the Plantman's English breakfast with black pudding and poached eggs which was delicious. My wife had the pancakes with bacon and maple syrup also delicious. We were a large party of about 8 and the staff very helpfully put the tables together"

"Absolutely phenomenal hidden gem. Both the service and food were incredible. The team were so attentive, engaged, friendly and on the ball. The All Day Breakfast was an absolute 10/10, highly recommend. Nice outdoor area, lovely in the sun. Looking forward to coming back to try the lunch menu."

"Nice open spaced cafe. The deserts look great, but I think again look better than they are. But saying that, they’re still nice. The coffee was nice. Nice to sit outside on the benches when sunny, and quite a modern fresh feeling inside. It is meant to be table service but this isn’t clearly identified when entering. Some clear signing or welcome when entering would help a lot"

"Great choice for a hearty and tasty breakfast. Service was friendly and fast. American pancakes were fluffy and perfectly sweetened with fruit compote and granola. Overall fabulous food and great pricing for what you get. The only struggle we had was having to sit near doors, so it was quite cold with people coming in and out."

"Friendly staff, excellent service and possibly the best (Plantsmans) Breakfast in N Yorkshire. Good access Dog friendly Outdoor seating as well for when the weather is nice. Can definitely recommend"

"A group of 6 had breakfast here yesterday Tuesday 26th November & we were all extremely impressed with the excellent food (5 x full English & a sausage & egg sandwich) & the staff are friendly, polite & nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended."

"We found this place just because we were heading through to Northumberland and what a find! Easy to park and get the kids out, the place feels nice and the dining hall is large with plenty of seating spread apart nicely to not feel cramped. The food was brilliant and very good price for the ample portions. But the cherry on the cake for me was a baby change in the gents toilets! Fantastic! Good to see in the modern age and didn't make me feel guilty about changing my daughter's nappy in the disabled toilets! Also... Service was outstanding! Loved it!"
