Best find on holiday ever!!…read more Set in a beautiful little village with a huge village green with loads of parking round and about (although im sure that on a mid summer sunny day parking may be somewhat difficult!). The pub has a bar area and a restaurant area - we only ever went into the bar as you could eat int here and it was really cosy (dogs are also allowed!). The staff were incredibly friendly and chatty (lets face it, Yorkshire, particularly North Yorkshire folk are possibly the most friendly on the planet - i challenge you to disprove this!). The food was INCREDIBLE. Nothing fancy pants, just really good food, VERY big portions (trust me on this, you dont need three courses - choose your weapon of starter or dessert to go alongside your main - we made the mistake one night and 1) couldnt eat it all and 2)pretty much rolled home). We spent an evening in the pub, had a meal and then sat playing card games - we felt incredibly welcome. So welcome that we ended up visiting three times in a week long holiday. You cant really get a better recommendation than that can you??

We sat in the dining room area and it was very tired and worn, sit in the Pub area instead. Outside seating is very smoky. No A/C or even ceiling fans especially since we were in the new set of rooms. No one opened up the windows prior to our arrival and it was literally like an oven. As secluded as it is there is another hotel/restaurant nearby which we enjoyed better.

The Angel at Hetton: North Yorkshire's Culinary Heaven…read more Tucked away in the picturesque countryside of North Yorkshire, The Angel at Hetton is a true gem - a haven for food lovers and a heavenly retreat for those seeking a memorable dining experience. It's a place that feels like a reward for the journey, where the beauty of the landscape is rivaled only by the magic happening in the kitchen. The setting is quintessential Yorkshire charm, with the inn's historic stone exterior and rustic elegance blending harmoniously into the surrounding countryside. Inside, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, striking a perfect balance between relaxed comfort and understated sophistication. Whether you're a local or a visitor, you'll feel instantly at home. The menu is nothing short of extraordinary. Celebrated for its Michelin-starred cuisine, The Angel offers dishes that are as visually stunning as they are delicious. Every plate is a testament to the team's passion for showcasing seasonal, locally-sourced ingredients, prepared with care, creativity, and respect for the flavors of the region. From the first bite of a perfectly executed amuse-bouche to the last spoonful of a decadent dessert, every course tells a story. Their tasting menu is a journey in itself, offering a harmonious blend of textures and flavors that highlight the best of modern British cuisine. Dishes like Yorkshire lamb with wild garlic or North Sea fish with foraged herbs bring the surrounding landscape to life on your plate. For those who prefer à la carte, the options are equally impressive. The slow-cooked beef, served with seasonal vegetables, is a standout, while the desserts, such as the rhubarb tart or a perfectly balanced chocolate fondant, provide a sweet, memorable finale. Complementing the culinary excellence is a wine list that has been curated with as much care as the menu itself. From crisp whites to robust reds, there's something to pair with every dish, making the meal a full sensory experience. The service at The Angel is exceptional--attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable yet approachable. The staff's enthusiasm for the food and their genuine warmth elevates the dining experience to something truly special. While it might be a bit of a trek for most, the journey to The Angel at Hetton is part of the charm. The surrounding countryside, with its rolling hills and quaint villages, sets the stage for an experience that feels like a retreat from the everyday. Once you arrive, you're rewarded with food, ambiance, and hospitality that make every mile traveled worth it. The Angel isn't just a restaurant; it's a destination - a magical place where the best of Yorkshire's culinary and natural beauty come together. For those lucky enough to visit, it's a dining experience that lingers in the memory long after the last bite. Five stars and my highest recommendation.

This place would have been a 4* but a few basic failures really let them down…read more I came here for a wedding, so I'm going to compartmentalise this into pub, meal, hotel and general wedding things. The pub: Excellent whiskey selection and some really lovely gins. They also had a good bunch of beers and were generally very accommodating. That said, they ran out of lemonade before a wedding, which is pretty poor. And Jaegermeister... The meal: The meal was served in the wine cave, which is beautiful. Generally the meal was excellent, the beef was cooked perfectly and the starter and dessert were good (nothing to write home about though). One thing I noticed was that there were no green vegetables (in a roast!?). Also, they didn't have anywhere near enough staff on, so they didn't take any drinks orders (the pub is over the road). They would have made a killing if they'd done that (and we would have been happier, I really fancied a gin and tonic...) The hotel side of things: The room was lovely, and at the wedding rates it was extremely cheap! Big, beautiful, comfortable, clean, couldn't ask for more. Breakfast was ok, if I'm honest I didn't like having to ask for juice, I was hungover, I wanted all the juice. Checking in was a touch annoying as they sat us down, then went to check other people in who turned up after us, and then checked us in last. Despite being in a rush! General wedding things: The wedding was beautiful. Definitely. But that was despite the many failings, things could have gone more smoothly if they'd had more staff. Like the drinks orders, having the cake ready (the groom had to prompt them) and the tardy check in. Also, they told us the bar closed at 12 and then closed at 1115, which obviously ruffled a few feathers!! Generally, this place is beautiful and I would feel recommend a meal here. But they need to hire more staff and be a lot more organised.

When we first drove into this fantasy-like atmosphere it reminded me of the Hobbits home of rolling hills in Lord of the Rings. We stayed at a bed n breakfast in town and we were told the Kings Head Pub was a must to have dinner. So, of course we went the first night thinking we would try something else out the other nights.....needless to say, we never made it to any other place to dine. The only thing pub about the Kings Head is that there is beer flow here. Besides that.....This beautifully, quaint old world polished wood bar with tucked away booths, and its warm, gleaming, open pot stove fireplace. Is one of the best restaurants I have ever had the honor to consume platefuls of masterpiece after masterpiece. THE freshest farm/garden to table I have ever tasted, they had a chalkboard menu wall where by the second time someone walks out to erase, you wait in anticipation to see that what you really want wont be removed. I wish I had adequate words to describe the pleasure from the atmosphere, to the food and beyond. If we only had a way to have Kings Head here in America, one could only keep dreaming. Thank you and your staff and all those that are a part of such expression of their love and passion on a plate, amazing. Erika Bost

It just shows you how wrong your first impressions can be! If you like your beer then this is a good place for you with a whole board full of beers to choose from.

The pork belly was cooked perfectly resulting in two clean plates. I highly recommend the 15 minute wait for the chocolate fondant pudding - a delicate sponge pudding which oozes with the smoothest chocolate sauce. The staff were very friendly and chatty.

The pub has been sympathetically restored and added to over the years and yet has maintained its' integrity, keeping many of the original features, a Locals corner, the bull ring ( a game of metal ring swing onto a hook)and a wonderful old beer cellar. I wonder if it still has the claxon for invasion in case of war, in the cellar? There is a great choice of reasonably priced food from the traditional to the avant garde, all beautifully presented and served by knowledgeable and friendly staff. Lunch menu or evening you will find something to tantalise your taste buds at a reasonable price. Locally sourced,meats,fish and breads and all fresh produce. Cosy and inviting with log fires, you can feel the warmth and history the minute you enter, duck your head if tall the door is low. A great selection of local beer, Theakstons, Timothy Taylors etc and nothing is too much trouble. usually a good selection of Whisky too! Parking is outside the pub no designated car park but plenty of space in and around the village, just remember that people have to get out of their driveways. On two levels but fairly easy access for people in wheel chairs.(An old buldinng so a bit narrow ) A few benches outside and some lovely walks to Linton Falls and Grassington. Nothing is to much trouble here and I do not think you willl be disappointed
