A hotel bar feel with a mixed clientele of tourists from 4 x 4 drivers to cyclists. Ale was okay.

Still a solid performer but perhaps a bit lacking (it's too corporate) when compared to the absolutely fantastic competition in Settle and Giggleswick. Now has a nice coffee counter that I used every day of our holiday. So a 7/10.

If you come here to eat, I implore you to eat the Settle Pudding. I would say its one of the best meals out I have had. The beer is none to shabby either, with a good collection of Thwaites. The lancaster bomber was the pick.
The service was pretty hopeless for diners. They were just too busy. No sweet offered and a long queue to pay the bill.
All said, a fine pub - with stunning food.
I wont forget it.

Unfortunately you can't stop progress and in this lovely hotel / pub the separate and traditional dining room has been lost. also the menu has been jazzed up. The beers still good though and that's what counts yeah?

Good pub. Always have some good beers on. Food is excellent. Wonderful interior. Great atmosphere. How pubs should be!

On a raw October afternoon, with time to kill, this place proved to be a great choice for hunkering down for a few pints in front of the roaring log fire. The girls behind the bar were attentive and great fun to boot.
Isn't life grand.

Beer was fine (Thwaites) tho needed to be for above average prices. Food looked fine with many takers. Front bar area is the original hotel reception area so can be cosy. Larger side room with pool & TV.

Went last week on the Saturday night during our third visit to Settle. Very popular place (a young and older crowd) selling Thwaites beers. Beer was ok though perhaps not quite as good as on previous visits.
It seems to have taken over from the Royal Oak as the Saturday night place to be seen. It has a public bar, traditional lounge bar and a lovely formal dining room. 7 out of 10.
