Good Pub Guide Recommended

Smartly updated and attractively placed pub with a civilised bar, excellent enterprising food and a fine choice of drinks; lovely bedrooms

Going from strength to strength under the hard-working and friendly Mainey family, this well run place is extremely popular with our readers. Of course, much emphasis is placed on the top-class food but they do keep Black Sheep Ale, Ilkley Mary Jane, Theakstons Best and Timothy Taylors Landlord on handpump, 20 wines by the glass and home-made lemonade. The bar has a contemporary colour scheme of dark reds and near-whites with attractive prints carefully grouped and lit; one area has chunky pine tables on flagstones and another part, with a log fire, has dark tables on plaid carpet. For meals, you have a choice between a small candlelit olive-green bistro with nice tables, a longcase clock and one or two paintings and a more formal restaurant; at weekends, it's wise to book ahead. The country-style bedrooms are highly thought-of. The pub faces the village green.

Good Pub Guide Food

They make their own goats cheese, bread, jams and chutneys, home-smoke their fish and use only small local suppliers and game from local estates for the first-class, imaginative food which might include lunchtime sandwiches, delicious whitby crab soup, smoked salmon terrine with ricotta and dill with a spiced cucumber and lemon salad, a proper steak and mushroom pie, pink trout fillets with a king prawn, basil and roast red pepper piperade, leek and lemon grass risotto with spiced cauliflower fritters, free-range chicken with a wild mushroom and tarragon mousse, and 24-day-hung rib-eye steak with pepper sauce and aioli.
