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.

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??

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

We didn't want a heavy meal, so we each had a sandwich - bacon, brie, and mango chutney on Ciabatta bread. What a delicious combination! I will definitely try to make it at home. We also split a bowl of potato leek soup, which was very nice. The pub is pretty large and also has a back garden with picnic tables. We stayed inside next to the bar to chat with the proprietor and soak up the traditional decor. There is a large variety of beers and ciders on tap,as well as an impressive range of whiskeys and other spirits behind the bar. The publican could not have been nicer - a tall Glaswegian who offered us a sample of different local ales on the house, and even offered us eventual help in case we have trouble on the canal!
