20 miles in the Skipton/Harrogate direction:
Billy Bob’s Parlour – Calm Slate Farm, Bolton Abbey, BD23 6EU – 01756 711826 or reserve a table online.
Billy Bob’s is quite a lot further away than we’d normally recommend, but it’s well worth a visit. The American-style diner with coffee served from the indoor Airstream caravan and seating in a yellow American school bus. It’s amazing (and the food’s wonderful too!)!
- It’s great for children (fab play areas), but we go regularly without little ones (when we sit in the peaceful age 13+ dining room). Superb, freshly cooked food.
