Improvement since my previous visit. Food was excellent and beer was very good.

Nice pub and garden with good beer and attentive staff. Very overpriced for soft drinks like cordial and water. It claims to serve the best food in the dale. That is utter rubbish unless your idea of a good gammon steak is swimming, well drowning, in grease, had to mop the fat up with tissue before i could eat. The wife's sandwich was very good though.

A lovely pub well worth visiting but it does seem to attract its share of pretentious locals and it's not a pub where you'll find yourself chatting to strangers. There does seem to be something slightly false about the place but that's probably just me and what it does it does very well. Theakston's bitter was on offer last time which is well kept. Great food by the looks of it (have never eaten there though) and fires most of the year. The bar staff do seem a bit over polite though sometimes not that that should be something to complain about and I must say they always seem to have some very attractive girls working there.

3 visits here over the weekend. Tim Taylor Landlord well kept and at just shy of �3 a pint - it ought to be. Last visit on Sunday marred by some, well, frankly bizarre customers.
One thought it quite normal to accost folk who had children with them, and engage them in conversation regarding childminding, seeing and hearing had to be experienced to be believed. We moved seats to get out of her hearshot.
The other nutter present owned 2 huge dogs.Clearly she wished she'd have given birth to them, it was bordering on muttophelia, if that's a word. The whole corner of the pub was taken over by the dogs and her conversations with them and any poor sod who was daft enough to come and pay attention to the dogs - or her.
One guy who was obviously a regular moved to the opposite side of the pub, the poor bugger didn't know that the woman with childminding issues was there. I bet he left quickly after we did, we were the only sane folk in the place, God help the staff.

It claimed serve the best food in the dales. unfortunately the opportunity to find out was denied me by them refusing to cook egg and chips for my son who has difficulty eating most meat products and found nothing else suitable on the menu.

One of my favourite pubs. Very good pub grub. Excellent beers. Always a struggle to decide between a pint of Timothy Taylors, Black Sheep or Theakstons
