    We visit both Moody Cow restaurants in Apperley Bridge and Ilkley. The food is always first class - meat eaters will be spoiled by the cuts of beef, succulent pork and chicken. Sunday Roast is always a favourite - they just get it right every time. We met friends for lunch and it was really relaxed (we were late arriving due to traffic but everyone was easy about it). Lovely puddings too. Jake and all the staff are always helpful and courteous.

    Visited here on Saturday night on recommendation from my daughter and we weren't disappointed. Food was delicious - best Thai flavoured mussels outside of The Mussel Inn in Edinburgh (and that it my all time favourite place!) and I think the tastiest burger I have ever had. My husbands crab salad was fresh and full of flavour. His steak cooked to perfection. We will most definitely be visiting again.

    Enjoyed the different ranch style decor; service very good and food interesting, well-presented and of very good quality too. Perfect for a family Birthday evening.

    Met promptly at the door with a smile and a warm welcome, no problem that we were only 5 and not the booked 5. Coats taken and stored away from the table. Shown to our table but could have gone to the small bar area. Never felt rushed with menu's and good friendly chat from waiter. Good choice of meat,chicken and fish details (not sure re vegetarian options) Food delivered in a a timely manner and of a high standard, the mixed grill i had was spot on the steak a good rare. Desserts also had a good choice and were of a good standard, good wine list but not cheap. A good meal in nice surroundings and ambiance. No negatives at all

    The decorations were amazing. The cow hide on the chairs and the images of the cows were brilliant!

    Atmosphere to noisy for us. "Not due to The Moody Cow or their staff".
