A restaurant in North Yorkshire is celebrating after it has been named in the ‘Top 100 restaurants in the UK for 2023’
The Wensleydale Heifer in West Witton made the highly acclaimed list, compiled by OpenTable after 1.2 million diner reviews.
The Wensleydale Heifer features in OpenTable's top 100 for 2023.
On the OpenTable website, The Wensleydale Heifer is described as “a traditional white-washed inn complete with leaded lights and swinging sign” that “gives the visitor a real flavour of Britain meaning it’s popular not only with locals but with tourists searching for the real Yorkshire.”
It adds: “From the lounge, with its comfortable leather settees, country pursuit paintings and imposing fireplace through to the wicker seating, beamed ceilings and eau de nil painted walls, the interior could have leapt from the pages of Country Homes magazine.
“The contemporary British menu includes seafood from across Britain plus locally sourced meat and veg, all prepared using the Wensleydale Heifer philosophy – keep it simple.”
On Tripadvisor, The Wensleydale Heifer has an impressive current rating of 5/5 out of 2,792 reviews.
The Wensleydale Heifer is owned and run by local father and son Lewis and David Moss, with the venue now celebrating the Open Table accolade.

David said: “We’re thrilled that we have been named in Open Table’s prestigious list as one of the Top 100 restaurants in the UK. We pride ourselves on offering nothing but the very best dining experience for our guests and it’s such an honour to see that we’re held in such high regard by them.
“To be featured in such a fantastic list – and to be the only restaurant in North Yorkshire to do so - is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our brilliant staff team who work so hard to make everything ‘Heifer-perfect’.
“We recently marked 18 years of owning the Wensleydale Heifer and this feels like a very special way to celebrate that landmark birthday!”
