Welcome to
Beatson House
The Beatson House team is delighted to welcome you to our independent Yorkshire restaurant, where quality food and warm hospitality come together.
Our menus are thoughtfully created around a balance of much-loved favourites and dishes designed to offer something a little different — all with a strong focus on fresh, seasonal and locally sourced ingredients.
Beatson House is set within the characterful conversion of an 18th-century cottage and the original village butcher’s shop. Located in the conservation area of the picturesque village of Cawthorne, near Cannon Hall Farm — home of Channel 5’s 5 on the Farm — our setting is as special as the dining experience itself
