Cookridge FAQs.
Is there parking available?
Yes! There is free parking for up to two hours on Otley Old Road, directly outside Residence.
Do you take bookings?
We operate on a first come, first served basis. Please just come down and we will seat you as fast as possible!
Do you allow laptops?
Yes and no. Mostly no. During the weekends it's 100% no. During the week we are a bit more flexible. If you are having a working lunch and want to use your laptop whilst waiting for your food, then that's fine. Or if you've eaten and want to use your laptop after your meal, that's fine too.
Off peak (Monday to Thursday 14:00–16:00) if you want a drink whilst you do a little work, no problem at all. Please bear in mind we don't have plug sockets around the restaurant.
Are you child friendly?
Children are welcome. We do ask that children are always supervised, with bums on seats and no climbing over furniture — we are a busy venue and would like to avoid anyone getting knocked over. We have a small children's menu, high chairs and a baby changer on site. We appreciate help with cleaning up after your children. On busy days we have limited space for prams and buggies that don't fold up, but will always try our best to accommodate them!
Are you dog friendly?
100000%.
Do you have an allergen menu, and do you cater for gluten free?
We have a full allergen matrix on site which breaks down each dish and lists its allergens according to the Food Standards Agency allergens list. Please ask a member of staff for a menu or advice if you have an allergy.
We try our very best to cater for people with Coeliac Disease. However, we can't guarantee certain items that have a 'may contain traces' warning. To avoid cross contamination in our kitchen, we use different coloured chopping boards and knives, recommended gluten-free alternatives and different cooking methods. We also have a gluten-free fryer which never has any gluten products through it. Please note, there are still gluten-based products in our kitchen.
Do you have disabled access?
Unfortunately we do not — there are two small steps leading up to our entrance.
