| Good pub on the whole. Shame that the "range of beers" is all Theakstones, but hardly surprising as they own the place. Good food and clean pleasant rooms. GrahamH - 6 Jul 2008 16:11 |
| a very very good pub . Friendly , good food and great beer. They kindly let the Lyke Wake Race use their car park for a race checkpoint. I have visited this pub on many occasions and in all weathers and never been disappointed. Have a wander along the old railway line , you may see an adder in spring and summer. Definately visit!! mineisalandlord - 11 Mar 2008 16:18 |
| This was one of my highlights on the second part of the coast to coast walk my partner volunteered me for in august 2007. It was a very welcome sight after 20 miles and had a good range of beers though I stuck to theakston's Grouse beater which tastes far better on tap than in the bottle in my opinion. The food was good and plentiful and the atmosphere cosy. Well worth a visit! I imagine it would be excellent at christmas! wmyoungers - 25 Nov 2007 18:16 |
| Brilliant pub, been visiting for years. good range of beers, very friendly when not too packed and if you stop overnight out of season, not only do you get the moors and walks to yourself (absolute silence and 40 mile views) but the breakfast they serve would sink a battleship, it's MASSIVE. One of the best pubs in Britain. bbcbcbsc - 13 Jun 2007 13:47 |
| A lovely little oasis on the moors - well worth a detour if you like pubs and hiking - or just looking at inscriptions on old waymarker stones, or just a scenic drive. Theakstons is good, as is the food. Can get crowded, but a pint and a seat by the fire after a hike is a real pleasure in this place. arkaye - 6 Jan 2007 17:15 |
