The Clevedon Restaurant

Head up Ben Rhydding Drive towards the moorland edge and you'll find Clevedon House, a proper period property that's been transformed into somewhere you'd normally have to drive to Leeds or Harrogate for. It's got that unhurried, civilised atmosphere—the kind of place where they remember how you take your coffee and the waiting staff actually know their wine list. You're eating contemporary British cooking that takes itself seriously without being precious about it. The valley views from the dining room are genuinely lovely, especially on clear afternoons when you can see right across to Simon's Seat.
