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??

Once you have chosen what you would like to eat, go to the bar with your table number and order.

Many say that Tan Hill is the highest Inn / pub in England - judging at how my ears poped on the…read moreway up to it, I don't doubt it for a minute! The drive is a beautiful one on the right day - do make sure you watch out for sheep and wildlife along the road though, particularly if it comes in misty etc. I visited with my husband, inlaws and nephew and I have to say it was wonderful! We all had a cooked dinner (mine was Roast beef, Hubby had Scampi, InLaws had lasagne and the little one had a plate of chips!). The food was divine, very quickly made and the portions fantastic. A side roomed houses a pool table which provided much entertainment for the little one and we were happy to retire to the comfy armchair seats in the bar, in front of a lovely fire to let our food go down and bet the family dog! Everyone, staff and local patrons were friendly and chatty and we felt very welcome. There is an extensive collection of real Yorkshire ales and some new rather peculiar ones to try! Mainly Theakson and Black Sheep. The accomodation is excellent and there are many different packages to choose from from B&B to self-catering rooms. Christmas and seasonal specials are run throughout the year which are increasingly popular. Located in Reeth it is an ideal place to go and stay for their annual country show which I have also attended and it is excellent! Tan Hill really is the One stop shop for a good holiday or day out in Yorkshire.

The Tan Hill Inn is reputed to be the highest pub in England and I've no reason to doubt this. It's…read moresituated in Swaledale in Yorkshire at the top of a very large hill. But don't worry because you can drive to it and it's well worth the effort. It's definitely a pub for walkers and outdoorsy types and they do some great hearty food and a selection of real ales - mainly from the local Theakstons brewery. There's a collection of animals that live there too; dogs, cats, lambs and mules and they will delight kids and adults alike. You can stay at the Inn or you can camp in the campground alongside and I'm told that you can actually get married there too if you wish. It's even got wifi so being in the highest pub in the land needn't mean you can't get Internet access too. A great, unusual and very friendly place to have a beer or two.

We spent the remainder of our holidays here, every evening. Nestling by a brook full of eels. The pubs dog, Jasper, loved to just stand in the cooling water on the hot evenings that we experienced this July. Sufficient room to sit outside with plenty of tables. Service is second to none. Professional, efficient and, more to the point, friendly. Great selection of real ales, my favourite was the Cromwell. Now to the reason for frequenting this hostelry, the food. A reasonable menu taking into account the position of this pub. A good varied choice of fresh seafood, burgers, curries and steaks. We tried most of them and they all were extremely tasty. All cooked to order. Great mussels in white wine. Behind the bar is a blackboard describing their Naga 'Viper' curry made with, 'officially', the hottest chilli pepper. Underneath is written 'Curries ordered 528, curries eaten 400' LOL. I love hot curries but, even I, would not attempt it. We hope to make a return visit next year. Many thanks to the 'guvner', his wife, the staff (especially the chef and kitchen staff) for making our short holiday break a total delight. See you again.
