Now, he's bringing the same style of modern British cooking to Ilkley.MasterChef judge Marcus Wareing once described Matt’s sauces as “some of the best he had ever tasted,” and Jay Rayner’s review in The Guardian simply stated, “Bloody hell, that’s good” (though not in those exact words).With this new Ilkley opening, Matt and his experienced team are looking forward to serving up great food and service, both in Ilkley and back home in Horsforth.

My wife and I had lunch at Forde Ilkley, on Thursday 17th July. The service was friendly, polite, and helpful without being overbearing and the food was very good, although my steak was slightly overcooked, we really enjoyed our lunch. I thought the value for money was excellent, with a lunch time menu costing £25 for two courses and £30 for three; I have paid more for much inferior pub food. A thoroughly enjoyable meal and we will definitely return next time we are in Ilkley.
