A YORKSHIRE Dales restaurant with rooms has been awarded an AA Breakfast Award.

The Wensleydale Heifer in West Witton, North Yorkshire, received the award in recognition of its high quality special breakfasts, with an emphasis on its use of freshly prepared local ingredients.

There is a range of speciality breakfasts on The Wensleydale Heifer’s menu, including a full Yorkshire breakfast, a vegetarian breakfast and a continental breakfast, in addition to other dishes for guests to choose from.

The Wensleydale Heifer was also recently awarded five stars by the AA and is one of only 61 restaurant with rooms in the UK to receive the five star award.

David Moss, co-owner of the Wensleydale Heifer, said: “We are delighted to add an AA breakfast award to our fast growing number of titles and awards.

“We don’t do anything by halves and, as breakfast is said to be the most important meal of the day, we use high quality ingredients and special home-made items to provide our guests with a delicious start to the morning.”
