| Perfectly functional boozer - more of the locals one of the three in town. Decent Black Sheep on. Very good darts team - frequently scoring in triple figures! Photos at my walking blog - http://bit.ly/1SRduGp Mappiman - 19 Apr 2016 18:51 |
| Probably the best known pub in town thanks to its infamous upside down sign above the front door, a visual protest resulting from a dispute between the previous charismatic landlord Black Bob and the local Dales authorities over external �improvements� that didn�t meet their approval. The landlord has moved on but I didn�t get the impression that too much in the pub has changed. The L shaped interior has a main bar with a large inglenook fireplace and high backed settles, a pool and darts (2 boards) area at the rear and a separate restaurant / dining section. There are some interesting articles (namely the �dispute�) and interesting old local photos (note the Reeth in flood pics), brewery mirrors and usual pub paraphernalia but overall it seems to be more of a locals pad than anything touristy. 5 ales on offer, most of them fairly regular for the area - Black Sheep Best, Theakston Black Bull, Old Peculiar & Best and Old Speckled Hen, decent enough quality on my visit and reasonable prices. The food was also decent enough (there aren�t many places to eat round here in winter) but fairly pricey for what it was. A perfectly decent place to unwind and certainly worth calling in but it just lacks that bit extra to make it an essential stop. RogerB - 6 Dec 2009 14:07 |
| Shame to hear that it's changed hands, the legendary landlord was 'Black Bob' and he was a true legend ...... good pub, not been there in 15 years must go back one day, lovely area, lovely people ...... richmond_lass - 26 Jun 2008 11:06 |
| When i went it was ok , that's about it , nothing special , which for a prime location is a shame. The beer was ok, the room was a bit chilly in winter despite being busy. Must do better i think. mineisalandlord - 11 Mar 2008 16:13 |
| Probably the best place for a drinking session in Reeth. Good atmosphere on a night and a good pint of Theakstons Old Pec. Blazing fire, plenty of people to serve you behind the bar. Bright lighting, pool and tv in the raised back area. Appeared to be different people running Kings Arms (Middle house) but both pubs belong to Tadcaster pub company. Stayed at Kings, cosier food driven pub with amazing fireplace but not much atmosphere. Bland hosts. Rooms have no soap and you have to peel items off the tea tray as they are stuck on to the grime. Take a cloth to wash the tea stains of the window sill, they are probably still there.. brisk - 18 Dec 2007 17:56 |
