The Retreat Tearoom & Bistro

About

The Retreat Tearoom & Bistro is a charming, dog‑friendly café and restaurant located in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales village of Grassington. Open every day from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm, the venue offers a wide-ranging menu that caters to every diet, including gluten‑free, dairy‑free, vegan, vegetarian, and classic British breakfast and lunch options. Afternoon tea, served daily from 2:30 pm, is a celebrated highlight, served with a selection of cakes, scones, and traditional cream teas. The tearoom’s award‑winning coffee, roasted by local roaster Darkwoods, is a must‑try for coffee lovers. The relaxed, inviting atmosphere extends to an outdoor courtyard where guests can enjoy local ales, a comprehensive wine list, and even a gin selection. Children are welcomed, and a baby‑changing facility is available. Pets are encouraged, with muddy boots and dogs warmly received in both the coffee shop and the adjoining courtyard. Whether you’re after a leisurely breakfast, a hearty lunch, or the quintessential afternoon tea experience, The Retreat offers friendly service, locally sourced ingredients, and a setting that feels like a home away from home in the tranquil Yorkshire Dales. Pre‑booking is required for afternoon tea to ensure seating availability, and calls to 01756 751887 are accepted for reservations.
