"On arrival in the Dales we tried at about 6pm to get a meal at the the Rose and Crown but were told that they were fully booked. Fair enough, so we booked for 8pm the following evening. We arrived at 7.55 but were told that the restaurant was closed. If we found a table they would take our order. The table was not very clean which was a reflection of the whole place. They took our order 3 Hunters chicken, one with chips only and 1 large Yorkshire Pudding with pork filling. This seemed to cause some confusion as they asked several times about the Hunters chicken requirement. We were surprised that an establishment of that size couldn't supply sparkling water when we tried to order the drinks. The drinks arrived fairly quickly. The meals 3 out of the 4 started arriving after an hour and a quarter at 9.15. but we had no cutlery which, when asked for, were unceremoniously put in a pile on the table. We were told not to touch the plates as they were hot. They were cold as was the food on them. The chips were dark brown and chewy as if they had been reheated and were cold. The chicken was cold. The Yorkshire pudding was like leather and the contents were barely warm as were the boiled potatoes accompanying them. The 4th meal Hunters chicken with chips only never arrived . When we complained that the food was cold. it was snatched away without apology. After another 10 minutes of not seeing anyone, we walked out, prepared to go without a meal that evening rather than pay top prices for reheated poor quality meals. The 4 different staff we saw were reasonably friendly but didn't seem to be in control of the situation. We will not go there again. It is the only pub or restaurant in the village and is letting down all the local holiday facilities who must find it difficult to recommend it."

"Stopped off here today looking for a pub lunch for 2 adults, a 2 year old and a 6 year old. Was confident that we would get a good meal and service as the vast majority of reviews on here and google are really positive. Think we must have visited on an off day. Entered the pub, and the gentleman behind the bar was clearly trying to eat his lunch and did not acknowledge us. I then asked if we could have a table for lunch, and was told to sit anywhere and order at the bar. We seated ourselves, and I then spent 5 minutes looking at the menu boards which seemed to be geared more to an evening service. The gentleman behind the bar was watching as I did this but said nothing. I then found a pile of menus on the bar why he couldn’t have said “take a seat, the menus are here” I do not know. We then ordered two kids meals and 2 adult bbq chicken baps, along with drinks. The food and drinks were fairly priced. I then asked a member of staff if they had a high chair, and was told she didn’t think they did. A couple of minutes later she returned saying “there is a high chair at the back there” so I went and collected one, making sure I didn’t hit the bar or any other customers. As a parent, it would have been nice if she could have just brought it up to our table for us. No issues with the kids food at all, good size portions and they ate almost all of it. Our food was a bit lacklustre I was expecting a fresh (possibly toasted) roll with chicken, melted cheese, bbq sauce, lettuce and mayo. The roll was at best supermarket quality, and the cheese was a square slice from a packet just placed on there. The chips were good though, but due to the lack of customer service and the quality of the “adult food” we won’t be visiting again."
