Food Scene
Rudding Hotel and Spa has 2 different restaurants - The Clock Tower Restaurant and Bar which is great for their informal bar menu as well as formal dining in the main restaurant - they have a lovely conservatory to eat in or outside eating if the weather is good.
Within the spa is another scandi inspired restaurant which is available for breakfast, lunch and dinner this is called ‘Horto’. The evening meal is a tasting menu and the food is perfect for those wanting something a little different.

Great restaurant if you want something a little special and an excuse to dress up. Also features a outside eating area. Definitely need to book in order to secure a table. Breakfasts also recommended as well as brunch and dinner.

A Yorkshire Favourite is Betty’s Tea Room, You can eat breakfast, lunch afternoon tea or early supper there. They are famous for their Fat Rascals which are a version of a scone. Sometimes there can be queues so try and avoid peak time
