Fairhursts is situated rather unusually in the rear of a rural conference centre (Middleham Key Centre). Do NOT let that put you off; just park in the car park at the rear and you will be facing the entrance to Fairhursts. Once inside, it is extremely cosy in a French bistro style.Food is tasty and well-presented. Guy can excel himself if he puts his mind to it. I would give it 5 stars if a) he was always there, and b) he concentrates. There is a monthly 'theme ' night which is usually excellent value for money, and is certainly always great fun. However, several times we have had 'ordinary ' but nice cooking from others when the chef should have been there himself to do it. The menu is inte...
Recommended this place by our host at Middleham House. Apparently this is a pop up bistro open on Friday and Saturday at this time of year.Great find. This restaurant is really tucked away and instructions were needed to find it. Excellent food from a small but well executed menu. Food cooked and presented beautifully. Wine list good.Very good value for money.Visited out of season so a little quiet only one other table booked (but it is a small bistro which I think could fit 5 covers at most. Apparently Saturday was fully booked. Very chatty team who recommended a very good bike ride for Saturday.We ate at The Saddle Room on Saturday and to be honest the food was equally good in both restaur...
As a previous reviewer mentioned not easy to find but once in Middleham follow the signs to the Key Centre. I arrived on spec to find that it was a specific menu ' Game night ' with only two people booked. The following night was fully booked so unable to book my daughter and son-in-law in for a treat. The couple were chatty which together with lovely serving staff made for a very relaxed and enjoyable evening. The food was very tasty and a change from all the pub type food available near by.Thought the price at £25 was exceptionally good value and the Christmas menu looked very invitingI have booked again for later in the week. Highly recommend a visit.
We were in a large group of about 20 and the kitchen coped really well getting all meals out nice and hot and fairly quickly the menu has some very unusual choices and I particularly enjoyed the eggs and soldiers desert. As we were a large group our bill was a hefty one but there is a 2/3 course set menu that was very reasonable and if I were local I would return to eat there again for sure. Hard to find so do not leave your navigation to the last minute!!

This was my first visit to fairhursts bistro and it won't be my last. I visited the bistro with my family after my sister had been there on valentines day and said how good it was. the food was amazing. I have a specific dietary requirement which was catered for by talking to the owner/chef guy fairhurst.
Went for the argentinian night and had a really lovely evening. Lovely relaxed evening where we were well looked after. Really enjoyed the mix of flavours. Looking forward to our next visit
The reviews were good so we booked in for dinner only to get a call on the day cancelling as they had decided not to open due to lack of bookings. That doesn't bode well for the place...
This is another closed down restaurant. While it lasted the food was great. The catering side of Fairhursts continues, doing excellnt food for weddings, events and shoot dinners, etc.
