"Ate at Sachis for the first time last night, we were really impressed. Food was so fresh and well spiced, just delicious. None of the generic fatty and salty dishes that you sometimes get in curry restaurants. Service friendly and prompt. There also was clear labels on the menu for food allergies which makes life easier. Pleaed there's such a good Indian restaurant in Ilkley. Will return as soon as we can!! Meal type: Dinner"

"The Box Tree has undergone a transformation under the leadership of chef Brado and his team, resulting in a refreshing new menu and higher standards. Since Brado took over, there has been a noticeable improvement in quality, with bold new dishes showcasing the confidence of the head chef and his kitchen staff. The service at the front of the house is excellent, with a knowledgeable sommelier who is happy to provide recommendations. The waiting staff are friendly and professional. While there is no on-site parking, the restaurant is conveniently located near the main town car park just a minute's walk away. With a menu that is constantly evolving, there is always a reason to return to the Box Tree."

"Having passed this place many times, I called in for a meal last night. What a gem !. Ordered a pint of Taylors Best Mary Jane and others also available). Was shown to a table, and ordered to start 'Confit duck and peanut spring rolls with a plum chutney ' £6.95) followed by one of their fish specials form the blackboard 'Salmon and Sea Bass fillets with asparagus and bearnaise sauce ' one of the more expensive options at £16.95). Waitress came with bread, two nice thick pieces of rustic bread, one white one brown, and both butter and the olive oil /balsamic vinegar. Whe the spring rolls came , there were four, rather over the top, as for a starter two would have been sufficient, and with a pile of crisp salad and the plum dressing as well. Delicious, I had no problem eating all four. The fish main was also a delight, two small fillets each of sea bass and salmon, with a couple of asparagus spears, and some bearnaise sauce in a pot. A side dish of carrots and broccoli also presented. Thoroughly enjoyable. Bill £26.95. It was as I was paying that I realised that the Wheatley was also residential. Readers of my reviews will know I stay in the area two nights nearly every week Mainly at Chevin Country Park Hotel Otley, or Rombalds in Ilkley or occasionally Harrgate or Knaresborough, see my reviews of these hotels) However when I asked about room rates, £80 B B for a single to me is too much for what is essentially a pub. I pay £70 at the Chevin) I am sure the rooms will be clean and well appointed, but I would have expcted them to be maybe £60-65 for a single. I am awarding 5 stars for the meal, but I suspect that had I stayed there, maybe only 4 stars as a hotel because of the price. Within the last few weeks I now found and reviewed three pubs in the area with really good food., the other two being the The Black Horse at Askwith and the Fox at Menston. I now have a quandary which to go back to !"

"This pub is consistently excellent. We’re not that local so not really regulars but whenever we call in the staff are friendly polite, the food beer are always decent if you do have a problem or query with anything, let them know they always do their best to accommodate it. Straight up, good honest boozer with tasty food give it a try if you haven’t been. Pleasant decked area outside plenty of parking too. Don’t listen to the people leaving moany reviews on here they’re probably the sort of people that you wouldn’t want to be standing or sitting around in a pub with anyway..!"
