A great friendly pub just off the High Street serving good beer and other drinks. Very definitely one of the best pubs in Skipton. The staff are young and very friendly and helpful. Open fires, the usual Wetherspoon's grub and a wide range of beers that's constantly changing. And best of all ten minutes from our front door!

The Devonshire is located in a rather imposing building and has plenty of space for seating over two large rooms and some smaller side rooms. Ales were Rudgate Ruby Mild, Daleside Bitter, Settle No. 3 Nine Standards Porter, Ruddles Best, Greene King Abbot, Naylors Yorkshire Ale & Sharps Doom Bar. It was the last day of the Wetherspoons cider festival and they still had Celtic Marches Status Quo Down Down, Hecks 1841 & Cornish Orchards Pear Cider. Clientele were the usual for Wetherspoons. It took one woman well over half an hour to collect all the dead glasses and plates and it wasn't that busy. It's always difficult finding a clean table in these establishments. But you know what you get.

Visited here on a market day so was busy, service was, however, good and there was a mixture of locals and tourists ( us). Choice of at least 3 ales, would definitely recommend this pub.

This has to be the best Wetherspoons pub I've been in but it still falls short of the quality from the likes of the Wooly Sheep and the Narrow Boat. Cheap real ale is a plus. Louts from Skipton and the surrounding area descending on it Fridays and Saturdays is the deal breaker.

i found this spoons as one of the better ones.was served straight away which is not the case with jd pubs. the pint was excellent and was a local brew. at the bar was a list of the recent guest beers the pub had been serving.pictures in the pub show that the pub had always been a hotel/pub which i think makes better spoons than the retail conversions

Very nice JDW with weekly local brewery festivals. 4 National Ales and 5 local. Nice pints of Goose Eye Brewery's Pommies Revenge & Devonshire Ale. Unusual to find a JDW in the CAMRA GBG must be good. Food was also good and great value for money as always in JDW's
|
Cavernous place with lots of drinking areas.
There is the usual Wetherspoon tendency to stick ot the floor in certain areas!
Bar staff: unable to manage when more than one person is at the bar per bar-person.
Not particularly clean, tables un-cleared, staff want to barge about the place, etc.
Won't be returning to this pub again.

crackin wetherspoons pub this..good food and well kept ale on my visit with a good selection for this lovely market town..very roomy and clean as well.

Large. Cavernous even, with a number of little rooms off.
Probably slightly better than the norm, but woeful measures- asked three times for one pint to be topped up ! Maybe that is why they can sell it so cheap ?
Parking tricky.
