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.
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 7½ 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
