| Walking to West Witton, we had decided to go here rather than the other pub - described as "a restaurant with a bar". Big mistake. The beer I drank was a local Buttertubs beer - nothing wrong with it except that I didn't like it. It was Saturday lunchtime and someone asked for the football to be put on the TV; then someone else put the juke-box on. The food was very disappointing. My bacon and brie panini was poor, while my wife's carrot and corainder soup was positively unpleasant, including, as it did, unreconstituted powder. Next time we will go to the "restaurant".

| A classic Wensleydale pub:originally a monastic establishment dating from the middle ages with a warren of rooms and passages, this has been a favourite of ours for several years. The cosy bar opens out to a larger back room, complete with a well used dartboard. When we came in on a Wednesday lunchtime there was a smattering of good natured locals and visitors. We left our dogs in the car, but an immense labradoodle was making much of himself in the bar The beer choice was somewhat more adventurous than is often the case in the Dales:Yorkshire Dales Muker Silver was a very pale,dry I suppose Silver ale-very drinkable.Salamander Brewery from Bradford offered Tower of Babel, a rather tasty golden ale in a series of biblically themed beers.Also evident were Black Sheep, and John Smith’s. Interestingly, this was selling well: I suppose its snobbery on my part, but I never touch the stuff-time to give it a second chance perhaps. There were various fizz founts for those of that inclination. Naturally, sparklers rule here, giving that wonderful settling –out ritual. The food was good and honest, pleasantly served. We could happily make this pub our local: a rare accolade from us.9/10 wittenden - 5 Nov 2009 18:50 |
| I was about to lose faith in Dales pubs after visiting Leyburn and Redmire. This place has gone some way to restoring my faith. Unpretentious, good food and drinks in a pleasant surroundings. Tip for landlady: Put notice next to bell to ring if no bar staff. I'm from London and stood around just waiting for a member of staff to come out of kitchen. Minor quibble tho'. good pub.. anonymous - 5 Feb 2007 17:36 |
