The Blackamoor Inn

Dinner, bed and breakfast ... impressed. The bedroom and ensuite were a decent size, and the bed was comfy. Seamus was an excellent host. For dinner we had pizza - simple, but excellent, probably the thinnest base I've ever had outside of Italy. Breakfast was good, too.

Great place with very helpful and friendly owner. Room was comfortable, private and cosy. Breakfast was delicious cooked to perfection. The dining room was really nice. I would definitely stay here again if I needed a location in Ripon. Very peaceful location.

We were a family party of six, ranging from age 13 -85 years so we dined early. We were spoilt for choice and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. The service was excellent with very friendly and helpful staff. Lovely linen cloths and real fires. We’re nice touches too. Would highly recommend. Thank you.

No restaurant or bar, waisted our time for a couples break took money said he had cancelled booking had to get booking . Com involved still waiting for refund avoids speaking to customers to resolve don’t waste time, he could have saved me a trip over from Harrogate he called me to hurry me up checking into a dark unwelcoming bar nobody around no chef no nothing in middle of no where it’s not what it seems

Lovely stay in this friendly, welcoming pub. The rooms were lovely and clean and nicely furnished. Really good, freshly prepared food served in nice unpretentious restaurant. The bar was warm and friendly with lovely comfy sofas in front of a log burner. Great choice of good wine and ales. Perfect for a relaxing couple of nights away. The landlord was a great host.

Went for early evening meal after Ripon races. Was surprised how quiet it was considering it was a race day and the pub is only five minutes walk from the racecourse. Greeted by a friendly Irish gentleman but was told there was no Guinness left and then the Theakstons Best Bitter went off leaving only one draught beer available. Menu choice was fairly limited but we chose fish n chips and a lamb tikka masala curry. My friend was very disappointed with the fish n chips. Fish was fairly small and curled up at both ends. Chips were anaemic looking and soggy considering that they were supposed to be “triple cooked”. Certainly not worth the £15 cost. The curry was okay but fairly bland and not very spicy. The rice was all clogged together instead of being light and fluffy. Again, not worth the money. Desserts of sticky toffee pudding and three cheese board were okay without being exceptional. All in all a disappointing experience and sad to say I won’t rush back. I have been going to the Blackamoor for many years and it has been very good and not so good over the years under different owners/management. It has the potential to be a great place to dine so I wish the current management good luck but they need to improve the food offering to attract people.

We had a lovely recent stay at the Blackamoor, We were given a lovely friendly welcome by the host. Our room was lovely and warm when we arrived, spotlessly clean with really comfy beds. We had a few pints at the bar with a roaring fire on a very cold winters day, nothing nicer. We booked evening dinner and had the most amazing food, extra veg was not a problem. I would highly recommend The Blackamoor, look forward to getting back there soon.

Thought I’d treat my 12-year old son to a pub lunch instead of the usual fast food. The pub has nice decor, friendly staff but very quiet when we visited on a Saturday lunchtime. The food was appalling. Only time I can ever recall being served fish and chips that was over cooked and burnt. My son had braised lamb shank and the sauce was far too heavy on the mint, the lamb undercooked and the vegetables were just awful. Over boiled and the parsnip hidden beneath soggy broccoli and leek was inedible. £44.28 for that with two drinks. MxDonalds next time.

Fantastic Sunday lunch - best I’ve had in ages, delicious roasted veg , red cabbage and cauliflower cheese. Lovely reception- Seamus is a great host and waitress was super. Can’t recommend highly enough!
