Storehouse Kitchen

Storehouse Kitchen is a neighbourhood restaurant in Ripon for dog owners who want a meal that feels a bit more thoughtful than the usual quick lunch shuffle. Serving carefully prepared food using locally sourced and foraged ingredients, with options for vegans, vegetarians and gluten-free diets, it offers brunch, lunch and dinner. Dogs are welcome inside, so nobody needs to do the pavement-waiting shuffle.

Open Wednesday to Saturday 12pm–10pm and Sunday 12pm–8pm (closed Monday and Tuesday), it works brilliantly after a cathedral wander or a market-square mooch, especially when everyone needs a proper sit-down and the dog is ready to melt under the table for a while. Think relaxed refuelling, imaginative dishes, good wine and cocktails, and a dog settling in like they personally approved the table choice.

For visitors with dogs, it has that warm, easy-going feel that makes a meal feel like part of the day out rather than a logistical pause. Parking is available at the nearby market place car park, free after 6pm.
