Eating Out Locally
Did you know there are more Michelin Star Restaurants in Yorkshire than any other county outside London?
We are fortunate to enjoy an excellent choice of places to eat within a short drive of Mallard Grange, although non-within walking distance. Ripon is just 3 miles away and offers a good choice of cuisine to suit most tastes and budgets.
Parking is free on the Market Square after 6 p.m. A short drive into the countryside will bring you to some lovely country pubs and restaurants.
Here are a few guest favourites.
