Alexander's Grand Café, Bar & Terrace

Had a delightful afternoon tea and was pleasently surprised at how tasty the little savories and sweet treats actually were. We were presented with a tall silver platter of cakes, mini pork pies and scones all washed down with a glass of bubbly followed by pots of tea. The waiters were very polite and attentive, all in all a lovely afternoon out. We also had some money left over from our voucher (it was a present) and went back a few days later to cash this in for 4 more delicious cakes.

What a great place friendly and helpful Staff who engaged well with us outside terrace to sit on and dog friendly too. Burger was cooked very well and tasted great nice side of lightly salted fries to all very good well worth visit decently will be going back. Toiletry cleaning well looked after Allington all a great place lunch or dinner.

A bit of a hit and miss first visit, but we will be back. Booked a table for Wednesday lunchtime, and we were greatly impressed with the greeting and the surroundings - Alexander's truly does feel like a grand café from an era gone by. We were seated at a table for 2, which is all well and good, but there were 2 people on a 4 top next to us, which meant I had to keep shuffling my chair in and out to let waiters and the two (incredibly rude) customers to my left out. The menu reads fantasticly, and it certainly took some time to choose what to have - both of us going for two courses - Flatbreads and Croquettes to start (both of these were excellent) and the Fish Goujon sandwich and Fish and Chips. The waiter who served us was pleasant enough, but a bit of a rabbit in the headlights - he forgot what I ordered straight after I told him (no notepad to jot it down was a bit odd) - and he also struggled when clearing plates off our table and the one next to us - seeing him scramble around on the floor for cutlery was a bit cringey in the environment. My wife's sandwich was excellent I will say, however my fish and chips was just a little, odd tasting. The chips were very dry and slightly bitter tasting, and every other bite of my fish and chips left a slightly weird taste in my mouth - Wether that was the remnants of the chips I'm not sure, as the fish my wife had was excellent - but I just couldn't enjoy every mouthful. I really hate complaining, and the fact the starters were excellent, and the venue itself superb, left me thinking that maybe I just got a bit unlucky with what I ordered. But there is definitely room for improvement on our next visit

Absolutely beautiful setting, outstanding service and the food...OH...MY...DAYS....amazing. The service staff were above and beyond and honestly, never stopped smiling and it was so lovely to see. We had the mussels and the open beef sandwich, both of which were stunning; compliments to the chef. Definitely worth a trip over to Skipton for and we'll be back ....soon

Booked Alexanders for a girls day with my mum and sister. After going to skipton market we decided to see if we were able to get seated earlier as the weather wasn't great, the staff seated us straight away and were all so friendly and attentive. The place was quite busy and had a lovely atmosphere, really chilled but felt high end. The food was amazing! Really well presented and so tasty and the portions were a good size. The seafood tasted really fresh. Will definitely return 😊
