Description

Nestled in a charming location, this restaurant offers an array of experiences, though opinions on its quality vary significantly. While some patrons enjoy friendly service and delightful dishes, others express disappointment over overpriced and mediocre meals. The ambiance is generally appreciated, and there are highlights such as exceptional Sunday roasts and reasonably priced drinks. A recent renovation adds to its aesthetic appeal, yet the inconsistency in food quality leaves room for improvement. Despite mixed reviews, it's clear that this establishment has potential, appealing to those who value a warm atmosphere and well-prepared pub classics.

We found this restaurant to be quite overpriced and unremarkable. I ordered the prawn cocktail, which was disappointing, while my husband had the soup, which was just average. My chicken Caesar salad was also okay, and although my husband's fish pie was tasty, it was so hot that he couldn’t eat it for 20 minutes. I felt it was rather cheeky to add an £8 tip without our consent, especially considering the already high prices on the menu. The surroundings were pleasant and the staff were friendly, but there are definitely better options around in terms of both quality and cost. Service: 5, Location: 5.

We saw the sign for the pub as we were driving along the B6265 towards Pateley Bridge and popped in for a couple of pints. Lovely place, friendly staff and nice and warm in front of the fire. Service: 5 Location: 5

This is a lovely pub with a fantastic pie and delicious chunky chips. They also have an impressive variety of sandwiches to choose from.

Called in after a ride out around tea time ISH on Sunday. They only serve Sunday dinners on a Sunday and they'd had a busy day so only pork left. But that didn't matter for us. I think it was the best pork roast I've ever had. (Shame I didn't get a photo) Service was brilliant lovely friendly staff. We both then had the rhubarb and port crumble. The flavour was amazing. Thanks to everyone

Stayed a night on a roadtrip. Lovely rooms, friendly service, and great food. My 9 year old daughter particularly liked the children's sleeping cabin in room.
