    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 were staying in a caravan park just down the road and needed a place to eat in the evening. We…read morecame across this delightful pub within a few minutes of searching. 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.

    This place is awesome! If you are looking for an authentic British pub with alot of character and…read moregood ale you gotta come here.

    Middle of nowhere, casual dress, Michelin-starred…read more My husband and I went out of our way to eat and stay here. Was it worth the 3 hour journey from London (2-hr train ride, 1-hr by car) to make our reservation from 6-months earlier? Absolutely. Courses are small, but plenty. Staff are immensely courteous and thoughtful (they made a custom menu for our dietary needs and even had the chefs sign it before we left). And the setting couldn't be more idyllic. I'd suggest getting the wine pairing as it really completes the meal. Go ahead and stay the night as breakfast is included the next day. Just make sure to work out your travel from the train station to the restaurant. It really is out in the sticks.

    An absolutely fantastic experience enhanced by the charming and beautiful countryside that The…read moreBlack Swan at Oldstead is nestled within - an area that I wouldn't have visited otherwise but am grateful for having done so. Make sure to make a small detour to Kilburn to see The Kilburn White Horse which stands firmly in the hillside. The Black Swan is a beautiful picturesque old pub full of warmth and charm. Upon arrival you are welcomed into the bar area for aperitifs where a log fire crackles and glows. Make sure to notice the Robert Thompson mouse carved into the bar. Great selection of small batch gins - I enjoyed a glass of Sir Robin of Locksley from Sheffield with tonic. Amuse bouche are served here before moving upstairs to the restaurant. The Smoked Eel and Apple Tartlets were light and well balanced in their flavours whilst the Chicken Dumpling was rich, satisfying and would sit well on the finest of dim sum plates in Hong Kong. The restaurant is more modern in decoration with an "open kitchen" where some of the dishes are prepared with a clear artistic love and attention to detail. Service is friendly, knowledgeable and attentive without being intrusive. Good selection of wines for most palates and wallets. I had the 10 course tasting menu which, at £85, felt like a bargain compared to the price of Michelin starred food in major cities. To start, a Mussel with Oyster Leaf canapé - so perfectly decorated that it felt wrong to eat it, but so tasty. Next up Langoustine with Caramelised Whey, served like a lollipop with a twig to hold it with - lovely textures and cooked to perfection. Venison Tartare followed - a small dish but rich in flavour and beautifully prepared and decorated. Sour Bread and Sour Butter was distinctive and a good filler in preparation for the main courses. The Monkfish with Asparagus and Onion, although delicious, was probably the weakest dish. The sauce tasted like heavy sweet soy sauce and was a bit overpowering in its saltiness for the delicate flavour of the fish. Still very enjoyable though. The Slowly Cooked Crapaudine Beetroot was the star of the menu. Cooked in beef fat (I believe), the beetroot takes on a heavier composition and is chewy and almost glutinous with all of the accompanying decorations providing broad and bold flavours. Absolutely fantastic! Scallop Cured with Rhubarb was another standout with the smoothness of the slightly charred scallops countering the tartness of the rhubarb, all tied together with a rich and balanced sauce. Herb-Fed Chicken with Wild Garlic from this Year and Last was another amazing creation with a blanket over the chicken in the form of a garlic leaf. The chicken was more warm than hot but extremely tasty. The first dessert was ice cream (or iced yoghurt?) Lollipops which were wonderfully innovative with their unique flavours. The Sheep's Milk with Douglas Fir Oil was also an memorable dessert with natural tastes of the season. The final dessert, served with coffee was Cake made from Artichoke, Chicory Root and Thyme. The combination worked well although the chicory root (?) was slightly bitter. A great end to a fantastic meal and experience. For most who visit The Black Swan at Oldstead, a significant journey will be involved but don't let that put you off...It's well worth the effort and will be one of those great food experiences.
