Excellent food, in a friendly relaxed environment. Beautiful setting Lots of choices Prize is reasonable Service is ok.

Had dinner here on a wet night while walking the Pennine way. The staff were great and the food was good. No TV to watch the football that's not a bad thing :0)

Amazing food generous portions from a menu which has loads of interesting variations from ordinary dishes. Much appreciated after a hard day’s walking which there is loads of nearby. I had the bacon chops which were delicious. Sticky toffee pudding for dessert was good too. Note they finished taking orders around 7:45 Ver carta

What a lovely wee friendly pub . On first night of our holiday (Monday) they didn’t serve food but there was a woodoven pizza van outside which was delicious and we were accommodated to eat in the pub. Second night delicious fish and chips and third night was pie of the day . All delicious . Friendly staff . Really welcoming pub with good choice of real ales and excellent spot for very scenic walks .

Absolutely packed with the best chicken breast chunks, without doubt the best pie I have ever eaten. The staff (Amanda) was so friendly with strangers as well as the locals. The beer garden can 't be beaten either, looking out across fields of sheep, then on upto Dufton Pike...

Service from the young staff was good, no long delays. The landlady seemed fine too, until it was time to get the bill. I went to the bar where everyone behind it was busy. I waited for a few minutes, then, beginning to feel invisible, I waved discreetly to the landlady, who was doing something with glasses and talking to customers she obviously knew. She said these people were waiting too, a... Ver carta
