Wellington Inn, Darleyback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Good village pub by the main road in Nidderdale. Big stone floored bar with wooden settles, plus a dining room at the back. Local ales in good quality (Tour Du Wot by Theakstons, Bolt Maker by Tim. Taylor, Black Sheep, Tetleys). Food is tasty, and a touch better than normal pub grub. However this is a pub not a restaurant (thankfully). Well worth a visit.

Mainly a food pub but the beers are well kept.
Timmy Taylor Landlord, Black Sheep and Copper Dragon Golden Pippin.
The food is excellent but not cheap.
An Enterprise Inn pub sadly.
The bar staff are very friendly and welcoming.
Also within walking distance of where I live, which can be very dangerous!

Our final stop of the day in North Yorkshire and also the place where we were due to stay the night. The Wellington is a large pub, with a main bar, another separate drinking area and a dining room. It also has about a dozen ensuite rooms and offers bed and breakfast. They had a number of guests from a car rally yesterday. We checked in earlier in the evening, when the pub was packed (including the garden). When we returned after 11pm, the bar area was still busy with locals. 4 ales were on - Black Sheep Best Bitter, Timothy Taylor Landlord, Copper Dragon Golden Pippin & Tetleys Bitter. Rooms were fine and the breakfast was also nice. The pub knows how to cater for all sorts. But purely for a beer in the evening, we did find better places.

We had a meal here which started well, prawns in tempura and veg in tempura as starters- very nice. We then both had the partridge with black pudding and salad as a main with chips. The chips were grey and looked like oven chips boiled in stale fat by a sadist. We sent them back and they were replaced by identical chips, slightly hotter. The partridge was dry, hard, tasteless and virtually inedible. When we informed the waitress she apologised and said she would tell the manager. After10 mins of nothing, by now at 10pm the restaurant was nearly empty, I went to find the manager and enquired whether he was aware of the complaint- oh yes, I've taken it off your bill, you probably don't know what game tastes like- is cooked pink! I advised him that I have had partridge before and it isn't usually like cardboard. No apology- I couldn't be bothered to mention the abominable chips. We left a tip for the staff who were very sweet. We had a great meal at the Royal Oak the night before.

The Wellington Inn is a large pub on the main Summerbridge-Otley road and which was greatly extended in the late 1980's. The staff are friendly and the real ales (Copper Dragon 'Pippin' is on permanently as well as a couple of other real ales) and Guinness are very well kept. The bar area, separate from the large restaurant side, retains a traditional feel with tiled floors, darts board, a pool table and a comfortable side snug with a traditional solid fuel range which is very inviting in winter. The pub is generally well looked after and attracts a wide range of local customers. The food is consistently good and not over-priced. The pub also has an attractive beer garden out front and well behaved dogs are welcome in the bar area but not children, although they are welcome in the restaurant side.

Much extended, popular stone-built pub on the edge of Nidderdale not far from the US 'spy base' at Menwith Hill. A food led pub but with a range of well kept ales from Black Sheep (Bitter), Tetleys, Skipton Copper Dragon (Pippin) and Timmy Taylors (Landlord), plus the predictable kegs from INBEV and S&N. The original pub houses a comfortable bar with pool table and the long extension provides more space, essentially for diners, in a baronial hall styled room, the fireplace is especially magnificent . Behind is a dining room with spectacular views across part of Nidderdale. The staff are pretty good but at times tumbleweed drifts behind the bar accompanied by a softly whistling wind and the hint of a howling coyote.

This pub has enjoyed mixed fortunes of late and closed for a brief period before Christmas. However, between Christmas and New Year it seemed as busy as ever - the Golden Pippin was excellent. The food trade seemed not to have suffered with plenty of diners. It's a great pub - hopefully the management will get it right this time.

ok although the food is rather substandard, to progress some culinary changes need to be made

If you love long Sunday afternoons in the pub reading the paper, having good food, and the best pint of Guinness for miles, try the Wellington. (Go after 2 to avoid horrendous children)

Typical of so many Yorkshire establishments, you'll receive a warm welcome when you enter The Wellington Inn, from both staff and customers alike.
Set in unspoilt countryside, with south facing gardens in Nidderdale, the gateway to the Yorkshire Dales, The Wellington is a family run Country Inn just 7� miles from Harrogate.
The original 18th century building was extended in 1988, yet it has retained all of it's character, including a welcoming and attractive Inglenook fireplace in the main bar area
