Thank you! ❤️

We're not usually ones to blow our own trumpet, but when our guests take the time to leave reviews like this, we feel they're worth sharing.

We're delighted to have enjoyed a fantastic run of guest reviews - winning a TripAdvisor Traveller's Choice Award was a true highlight - with guests consistently highlighting the warmth of our team, the quality of our food and the attentive service they receive.

The review featured here was one of several left just last week, and we're genuinely grateful to the guest who took the time to write it. Feedback like this means so much to our team. Hospitality is all about people, and knowing we've created a memorable experience is what motivates us every single day.

If you haven't visited us for a little while, we'd love to welcome you back. With the sunshine here, our terrace is the perfect place to enjoy breakfast, lunch, cocktails or dinner in the heart of Skipton.

Reserve your table via the link in our bio and come and experience Alexander's for yourself.

To everyone who has dined with us, recommended us or taken the time to leave a review—thank you. Your support means more than you know, and we can't wait to welcome you throughout the summer. ☀️🍸

Football aside... we've got a winner of our own. ⚽🥐🍓

Eton Mess Cruffins have just landed, and trust us... they're worth celebrating.

Freshly baked croissant pastry with a light, fluffy muffin-style interior, generously filled with silky strawberry & cream crème pâtissière, then finished with fresh strawberries for the perfect summer treat.

Pair one with one of our expertly crafted lattes, settle into the sunshine on the terrace, and let the football take care of itself.

Available now at Alexander's... while they last! ❤️☕🍓

☀️ Summer flavours are in full swing at Alexander's! 🌿🍋

Two dishes that have been absolutely flying out of the kitchen this summer...

🥢 Malaysian Laksa Bowl – a vibrant, fragrant bowl packed with fresh vegetables in a light, aromatic coconut broth, topped with beautifully grilled, juicy chicken or crispy tofu for our vegetarian and vegan guests. Fresh, nourishing, and bursting with flavour.

🍋 Amalfi Lemon Tart – the perfect summer finish. Bright, punchy and beautifully zesty, served with our homemade mint-infused Chantilly cream for a refreshingly light dessert.

Whether you're joining us for lunch in the sunshine or a relaxed evening meal on the terrace, these two are the ultimate taste of summer.

Which one are you trying first? 🌞💛
