Eating Out Close By

We are very lucky to have a great choice of places to eat and drink close by. We have two fantastic pubs in the village the Craven Arms Pub a snug 16th century pub-restaurant famous for the tv series ‘ Yorkshires Favourite Pint’ and The New Inn serving home cooked food and real ales. A short drive away is The Red Lion at Burnsall and The Fountaine at Linton, both highly recommended.
