   I was lucky to be able to make a booking at this restaurant during our stay in Masham. We are both vegetarian so requested a veggie menu in advance. The food was superb, we can’t praise it highly enough. Too often in restaurants we get fobbed off with mediocre pasta, risotto or curry dishes, all of which we can produce cheaply and easily ourselves. It was wonderful to have dishes served to us that had been produced with incredible skill, imagination and attention to detail. We definitely don’t have the skill or know how to do this ourselves. For once we didn’t feel like we were an inconvenience or afterthought simply because we didn’t eat meat or fish. It’s so much harder to produce good, varied and tasty vegetarian food and the chef more than achieved this, demonstrating outstanding talent. We received a very friendly and warm welcome and the service was excellent throughout the evening. The ambiance of the restaurant was spot on, it wasn’t noisy so we didn’t struggle to hear each other talk and I love that there is space between the tables. Room to relax without feeling like you’re eavesdropping on each others’ conversations. My one regret is that we live over 200 miles away, although my credit card bill would rocket if we lived nearby! We will definitely visit again if we are back in the area.

   Sublime dining experience in beautiful but relaxed environment. Each course delivered something thoughtful, delicious and creative. We can’t stop thinking - and talking about it!

   First visit to Where there’s Smoke and didn’t disappoint. From the canapés to the dessert the standard of food and service was exceptional and we would hope to revisit in the near future

    What an amazing place Surrounding and venue itself is beautiful very tastefully decorated and the right amount of space between diners We arrived and were shown quickly to our table , then given snacks . These were a pre taste of the food to come and oh my god they were so tasty , the venison salami was honestly the best I’ve tasted and when we asked it was homemade on the premises . Everything we ate was so flavourful and presented on amazing crockery . I could say what dish was my favourite but I did enjoy the deserrt and I’m not a dessert fan The wine (Austrian) recommended to accompany the duck dish was just perfect We will be back it was faultless
