Since 1962, The Box Tree has been part of Ilkley’s culinary story, with a remarkable history that has seen it become one of the North’s most celebrated restaurants. Today, it enters a new chapter, thoughtfully reimagined while respecting the legacy that came before.
Inspired by the surrounding Yorkshire moorland, the newly renovated restaurant and bar bring a contemporary sense of place to this historic setting. In the kitchen, Chef Patron, Brayden Davies brings his own perspective, blending his Australian roots with modern European training and global influences. Led by seasonality and creativity, his menus celebrate exceptional ingredients from trusted Yorkshire producers, across Britain and further afield.
