Bay Horse in Harrogate

We met up with family we had not seen for over a year. We chose this pub as it is equidistant for both us and our family. We were not disappointed. The food was excellent (personally speaking, the best fish and chips I've had for ages...proper Yorkshire batter !) My family were equally pleased with their choices, The service was friendly and efficient; what more could you want ?

We had hoped to eat on Thursday night.We called in but they were full so we said we would phone in for a reservation.The following day I tried to phone but the phone wasn’t answered and the phone message was out of date - referring to a bank holiday 2 weeks ago!I tried again the following day with some success and booked for the Saturday.We arrived early, had a couple of drinks and the staff kindly brought over some lovely home made rosemary bread to keep us going.It was however absolutely freezing as the Windows and doors were propped open.We eventually had to move to the other side of the restaurant.Other guests were wearing their coats!The food was excellent- mussels for starters, Cumberland sausage , chicken burger etc.Very good service.Thank youWould have given a 5 rating had the phone reservation and heating gone a little better.

Popped in on out way back from the Orkney Islands. Perfect place, stunning village and the roast beef was cooked to perfection, plenty of food and very friendly staff.

I was going to say “It’s back!” but actually through a year and more of lockdowns, the Bay Horse hasn’t stopped. It provided food and drink from a takeaway menu as well as also offering groceries for delivery. The pub is now fully open and we are getting back to normal (although the staff enforce the COVID rules). The food, as always, is consistently good. There is a good array of drinks. The regular house bitter is Taylor’s “Landlord” accompanied by a guest beer from breweries like Daleside and Pennine. The staff are the best in the area; friendly and welcoming.

Absolutely lovelySo welcome to be able to go back to the Bay Horse. There was lots of outside room (front and back) and it was all really well regulated from a Covid perspective. But what really stood out was the EXCELLENT burger (and the mmmmmm fries) and the quality of the beer served. The warm bread and the tasty butter were a nice touch too. It was so welcome to be able to enjoy the Bay Horse. Thanks also to the great staff.

So what can we do to cheer us up - a meal out would be good but out of the question at the moment. So, if we can't go out for a meal, let's have one delivered. Sunday lunch would be nice so ordered lunch for two.It was everything we expected, prompt, ample portion and delicious. Well done guys - we will be back.

Complimentary warm bread and butter, delicious food - highly recommend the black pudding and the duck leg special! Great selection of draft beers.

Unusual circumstances due to current restrictions, but delightful surroundings experience and atmosphere. Good tasting food and beverages

We have eaten here a couple of times now as it’s our new local. The food is delicious and we were made to feel very welcome. They’re taking social distancing measures seriously so felt very safe, definitely recommend!

Saturday night out with friends. Good atmosphere, friendly staff. Meals were good but could have done with having more choice for vegetarians

Hoy mi esposa y yo decidimos salir a almorzar y nos decidimos por el Bay Horse, Kirk Deighton, justo en el lado norte de Wetherby.Al no haber comido allí antes, estábamos ansiosos por la experiencia, después de haber leído las muchas críticas. Tuvimos que reservar y todas las medidas de seguridad de Covid 19 estaban vigentes y las regulaciones dejaban detalles de los números de contacto, etc., no es un problema.El pub es un pub de pueblo pintoresco y al ser un jueves a la hora del almuerzo, estaba tranquilo.El personal era extremadamente amable y atento, pedimos nuestras bebidas mientras reflexionábamos sobre el menú de la hora del almuerzo. Trajeron pan caliente con mantequilla a la mesa, para picar mientras lo hacíamos, un buen toque.Mi esposa decidió elegir el entrante Moules Mariniere como su plato principal, con pan casero recién hecho a las 6. 50 y elegí Filete de lubina frito con mejillón fresco, gambas rosadas sobre una cama de tallarines en salsa de crema de marisco a las 12. 50.Debido a una confusión, a mi esposa le sirvieron una porción completa de su plato y, aunque estaba feliz de pagarlo, el personal insistió en que pagara el precio de entrada. Mi esposa elige regularmente este plato en particular cuando está en un menú, pero me dijo que era el mejor de todos. Así que dudo que ordene la porción de entrada la próxima vez que visitemos.En cuanto a mi elección, fue simplemente fabuloso y vale la pena probarlo si visita.Entonces, ¿qué más puedo decir? Un pub encantador, un personal muy bueno, una comida excelente a precios razonables. Qué más podría querer una persona ?

No de la zona, nos recomendaron The Bay Horse. No nos decepcionó y definitivamente volveremos pronto.Todos tuvimos una comida deliciosa. Nuestra mesa estaba entusiasmada con la morcilla y el paté de hígado de pato.Todos disfrutaron de la experiencia y esperamos volver a verte muy pronto.

Aproveché el esquema EOTHO del gobierno y cenamos en The Bay Horse anoche.Se implementó un sistema unidireccional para ingresar al edificio y salir del pub, líquido desinfectante en cada mesa, el personal usó EPP, servicio de mesa solo con separación de malla en su lugar. Ambos nos sentimos seguros y bien protegidos de otros comensales.La comida estaba recién hecha, bien presentada y sabía muy bien. Mi mujer optó por la lubina con mussell, tagliatelle de gambas y tomate terminado en salsa de crema, yo opté por la hamburguesa con aros de cebolla como acompañamiento. Ambas comidas tenían un sabor delicioso.Sin duda volveremos para otra comida en este encantador pub.Gracias a todo el personal por hacer que nuestra velada sea inolvidable.

Salir mañana reservado hace un par de semanas. Cálida bienvenida. Muy covidito entra por un camino y sale por otro. Todo ordenado en la mesa. El excelente toque de comida era el pan caliente antes de realizar el pedido. Mi hija tenía el pollo de los cazadores, mi esposa, las gambas Tempura como plato principal y yo tenía carne y pastel de cerveza. Todo muy sabroso y abundante. Una forma encantadora de comenzar las vacaciones.

Mi amigo y yo decidimos pasar por The Bay Horse a mitad de un largo paseo de perros. Llamé y les pregunté si podían incluirnos, y lo hicieron. Sally, que nos atendió, fue servicial y muy servicial a la hora de elegir nuestros platos. Nos decidimos por un par de entrantes, las gambas tempura y los mejillones que eran deliciosas y muy buenas raciones y la ensalada y patatas fritas también eran encantadores. Un hermoso almuerzo improvisado y definitivamente volveremos.

Precioso pub en una hermosa ubicación, realmente impresionado con las precauciones tomadas durante estos tiempos sin precedentes, desinfectante en mesas y mesas protegidas. Disfrutamos del pan de romero que nos sirvieron después de tomar nuestro pedido. Comí pescado y patatas fritas que eran preciosas y crujientes y bonitas patatas fritas con trozos, mi marido tenía la hamburguesa de ternera que disfrutó inmensamente. Terminamos la comida con un trío de helados de Yorkshire, ¡las pintas de Blue Moon fueron una delicia! Volveremos pronto!

Popped in here after going for a walk with the family. Really delicious roast, really friendly service and the pub was really onto it with their safety precautions for COVID-19. Definitely somewhere to visit!

in these times of Lockdown we had a flyer through our door promoting the Bay Horse @ Kirk Deighton & the Fox & Hounds @ Walton...so a Friday night treat. Ordering was easy & simple - were told delivery would be about an hour - perfect! paid via direct bank payment. 4 burgers - totally delicious, a juicy thick burger with cheddar cheese, grilled onion, mustard mayo, lettuce & slaw plus chips ...it was big & it was beautiful. It is important we support our local businesses & ensure they are still there when normal returns. A fantastic meal & service experience.

Very friendly towards me. Nice place and excellent Sunday lunch ! Sometimes those places just off the beaten track are the best places to go. Nice village and literally seconds of the A1 !

This is a pub that I would heartily recommend for Sunday Lunch. The home-made black pudding starter is exquisite. I had the roast beef which was not nearly as pink as I would like but, despite being over-done, it was tender and flavoursome, suggesting that the beef was very good quality to start with. The one oddity was that the Yorkshire Pudding served with the beef was dry - not filled with gravy. Which seems slightly odd in the heart of Yorkshire. Next time I will stress that a want my beef pink and request extra gravy.

Really good starters, I chose tempura prawns, my husband had homemade black pudding with Guinness. Our mains were exactly what it said on the tin, ribeye steak and belly pork. My husband did not want the rocket salad and as no alternative was offered his plate looked a bit bare and it would have been nice if more beetroot puree was served with my pork instead of just a stain on the plate. My husband finished his meal with a good portion of apple and strawberry crumble. Overall a tasty meal if a little on the expensive side.

Excellent food, extremely well cooked and presented, the staff were really friendly and helpful, would highly recommend

We enjoyed a drink in here before a curry in Wetherby. Nice clean pub with very friendly bar staff and a good selection of ales on tap.

Sunday lunch for 2. Greeting like old friends when we entered. Quickly seated & order taken. Warm & welcoming atmosphere. Food & drinks arrived quickly. Great tasting Roast Beef. Will definitely be back.

My wife and I came here for the 1st time in ages. Warm and welcoming with friendly staff. Food delcious and plentiful. Really enjoyable evening

Historic home made pies - suet in the pastry thank you. Good chips, mushy peas. Good duck. Unpretentious - nice staff. Enjoyed it a lot.

The Bay Horse has now been under new ownership for just over two years and it has gone from strength to strength. The food is consistently good with a menu which has something for most tastes - Sundays get very busy. There is a wide choice of drinks including 4 cask ales (which change regularly and feature many local brews), lagers, Guinness and lots of spirits. The staff are all polite and friendly and the pub welcomes families and well behaved dogs. Every other Sunday there is a very popular free quiz. Other events such as wine tasting and theme nights (Hallowe'en etc) are crowd pullers too.

We chose to go to the Bay Horse for Christmas Day as we have been previously and the food has never disappointed but on Christmas Day the food was even more amazing than before! Especially as the price was not as pricy as places we have been before and the food was way better! The staff looked after us so well even though they were super busy too! Thank you for a lovely Christmas Day!

Lovely Food, Friendly and professional service lovely little English pub with warm feeling.

We had dinner on a Saturday night. The place had a nice friendly atmosphere, the food was tasty, good size portions, service quick and attentive, price reasonable. Loved the chunky chips. We will definitely be back.

Vine aquí para el almuerzo del domingo como habíamos estado anteriormente y me impresionó la comida.

Myself and my puppy come here regularly, we are both welcomed with open arms and smiles, usually by Helen- amazing service, amazing food, amazing prices.

Words cannot describe how bad this place was recently, cold food, poor service and not cheap. There are much better places in Wetherby and district

Nice room , great food but our service could have been better,arriving early we were seated but not offered a drink , after 15 mins went to the bar and got served, no soda water, a simple crumble took 15 minutes to arrive ....taking this amount of time to warm up apparently...would go back as we enjoyed a previous visit... Nearly very good

We enjoyed an excellent lunch here. The service and all our dishes were spot on, served in a timely and friendly fashion. My only tiny reservation is that the room is just a bit square and the decor a touch unenterprising, maybe brighten things a bit, not that this detracts from the overall experience.

Had lunch here on Saturday as we had passed this pub a few weeks earlier on our way until Wetherby.

It’s always lovely to sit by the fire with the dogs. Enjoy a pint of ale and sample some of the vegetarian dishes. Always fab

This is a lovely pub in a gorgeous village, we only booked a table for 7 that morning as we were returning home from Harrogate. We were surprised we could get in but we were glad we did. They serve Sunday lunch from 12-6pm, you can have two courses for £17 or 3 courses for £21.

Wonderful food, with very friendly staff! We enjoyed a lovely Sunday Dinner on a rainy afternoon! It was delicious!!

Booked fairly last minute, no problem at all, were told they were dog friendly and they were very accommodating.

Great pie but unfortunately didn’t come with the medley of vegetables as promised but a small dish of cheap mushy peas, the waitress apologised saying that they had run out of vegetables.

Came here for the first time on a Saturday evening with family.

We hadn't been in since it had closed down 2 years ago, but a friend suggested holding a meeting here, and it was great! The hot, home-baked bread was a pleasant surprise and delicious. I had the chicken burger, and it was very tasty. The decor is really pretty, and the new owners are lovely.They even generously donated a raffle prize for our charity dog show. We'll be coming back again with our dog!

Llamado en nuestro camino de Heanor, Derbyshire yendo a Newcastle. No queríamos detenernos en los servicios de comida, así que buscamos en los bares cercanos a los servicios a los que nos detuvimos. Encontramos esta pequeña belleza, la comida era increíble, el personal super amable. Lo recomiendo totalmente y desearía que viviéramos más cerca, ya que seríamos habituales.

Cuando uno visita un establecimiento tan encantador por medio de una salida de la banca en la ciudad de Londres; uno espera ser servido por un oik. Por lo tanto, me sorprendió gratamente que me sirvieran una copa de vino muy apetecible, por menos de 10 años por una joven que no era demasiado común. Reforzado por esta notable ganga, me aventuré a conseguir el almuerzo; Mi elección fue hecha de un menú sorprendentemente variado e interesante en inglés.

Fuimos hoy para el almuerzo. Lo elegí porque era adecuado para perros (parece que también hay un "restaurante - y") y cerca de Boston Spa.

Llamado hoy para el almuerzo de domingo un lugar agradable como un pub gastronómico. Algunas muy buenas cervezas de Tim y el cerrojo eran solo una hermosa pinta que no tocaba los lados.

Unhappy at where we were staying booked our table for 7.45 on a Friday evening. Really friendly greeting, good choice of menu. Enjoyed our meals, missed dessert as so full. Highly recommend.

The Bay Horse is a cracking little pub in the quaint village of Kirk Deighton, just to the north of Wetherby with contemporary decor, stone-flagged floor, a roaring fire and a convivial environment.

Many thanks to chef and staff for cooking for us at 1355 on Friday. the fish and chips were excellent and the pie very good.Will certainly visit again

Pub serving restaurant quality food with professional service. Very nice fish lunch.

We have been using The Bay Horse on and off for about 30 years. I can say with honesty that the Sunday Lunch we had today was as good as any I have had anywhere without paying the earth. The starter of home made black pudding with pancetta, applesauce and a shot glass of Guiness was nothing short of superb followed by very nice beef cooked pink with a splendid yorkshire pud and no fewer than 2 types of potato and 4 veg was difficult to fault. Just about had room for desserts, but only just! I don't know of a better pub sunday lunch anywhere in the area.

Had a lovely night at the quiz. Good ale and nibbles. Was great to see it thriving again. Looking forward to the next quiz in January

We had a delicious Sunday Lunch although the Bay Horse was busy and almost fully booked they found us a table. The staff were efficient and polite. The food was excellent and the menu was varied. Thoroughly enjoyed the meal

Nice Pub staff a little grumpy as they had us down for six. My brother actually showed them on his phone booking for four. Service very slow and had to ask for water more than once however the wine arrived very quickly. My starter was ok and the mains wre a little on the dry side however the pudding was very nice. Would not go again

A pub has the best, freshest, locally resourced food around for miles. The food and service were impeccable and even the home made mustard seed bread was a huge hit. I had the fish pie and it was a dinner to remember. Great place to stop for a meal. Reasonably priced for top notch food.

Avoid completely if you want professional attitude to business.

Nice little pub with really good food in a friendly and warm environment. The home made burger is seriously good and worth a visit for this alone. Service was personal and friendly as you’d hopefor in a nice local pub. Will defo try again

We had a super evening with excellent food, the food was hot and well cooked and the service was good with one exception.

Enjoyed a great lunch in a fairly newly refurbished place. Good menu and great service. Prices keen too.

Nosotros (mi familia de cuatro) tuvimos la oportunidad de conseguir una mesa un domingo a la hora del almuerzo. Se las arreglaron para acomodarnos a pesar de que estaba reservado. El lugar es bastante pequeño.

Ayer tuvimos la sopa de cangrejo más deliciosa que jamás se haya servido, seguida del pudín y panceta caseros, que era igual de sabroso. Hoy tuve que volver para el almuerzo del domingo antes de mi regreso a Nueva Zelanda. Igualmente bueno. El pastel de pescado era divino y los veges estaban cocinados a la perfección. En cuanto al servicio. . . . . Spot en en todos los sentidos. Alice hace un trabajo maravilloso y es una ventaja total para el Bay Horse (estos días, el personal de FOH realmente bueno no es abundante). La chica encantadora que trabajaba con ella el sábado y el domingo también fue muy amable y hace un trabajo fantástico. (lo siento no recibí tu nombre).

Llegó hoy mientras hacía un paseo por el campo y terminó quedándose para un domingo asado. El servicio fue muy rápido y la comida era excelente. La carne asada era perfecto, cocinado a la perfección y si realmente una excelente calidad. Los postres también eran geniales. Sin duda volveré aquí de nuevo. Oh, a un precio razonable también.

Llamé un domingo lluvioso y comí un buen almuerzo. Fiesta de 6 platos diferentes, sopa de coliflor era delicioso. Pescado y papas fritas, salchichas y puré bajaron bien, al igual que lasaña vegetariana.

Seis de nosotros comimos aquí el sábado pasado por la noche por segunda vez en unas pocas semanas y como antes, la comida era excelente y el servicio cálido y amable. Nuestro miembro celíaco pensó que el pan casero sin gluten era tan bueno que ¡pidió un poco para llevar a casa! Definitivamente vamos a volver.

As a regular, I can’t fault the place! Warm and welcoming pub, with a fantastic fire and even better staff. Food and drink selection is plenty, never failing to disappoint. Would definitely recommend 🔥

Now one of the best local pubs in the area. Really great beers, a variety of excellent foods, and very friendly, efficient, and professional service. My regular pub after work, for a weekend meal, or just a few pints with friends.

We had lunch on a Saturday and the new menu is very appealing. We had chicken liver pate and black pudding for our starters and then we both had Beef Daube. Their new cider on tap is excellent and the glass of Provence Rose was perfect.

Smashing new menu. Just had the SFC. Super light crispy coating. Plenty of options to choose from on the new menu. Great local pub with lovely staff.

At last a pub that does an excellent lunch at a reasonable price. We were three for lunch as guests of our friend. We had been before but in the dim distant past, so a revisit. What a lunch, the best I've eaten in many years. This small village pub serves magic food. My wifes' and our hosts' fish pies were a feast of salmon, prawns and beautiful white fish served really hot, My proper 'pie of the day' pork, black pudding and apple, with beefy chips and mushy peas also served at scalding point, What a change from the usual tepid efforts. The mains being so good, we must try the sweets, Our host had local berry fool with a touch of almond liqueur, me, I love cheesecake, so passion fruit and vanilla it is, exquisite, the only fitting description. All properly homemade. All accompanied by a carafe of good French red. The bill which I surreptitiously calculated will not offend anyone. We shall certainly visit again and soon.

The pub has now been opened a year and has really found its feet. The choice of drinks has been recently refreshed (pun intended) with good cask ales - Taylor’s Landlord, Doom Bar and others - plus quality keg choices. The food menu has something for everyone and changes regularly (about £12 a main dish). There is a highly entertaining and challenging quiz every fortnight which is free which offers food and prizes. The staff are friendly and helpful.

First of all, it's great to see the Bay Horse open again - Kirk Deighton certainly benefits from having a working pub!

The occasion was a Saturday evening with a table booked for 8.30pm, Upon arrival the venue was empty other than one table for 2 diners along with 4 people sat at the bar (think atmosphere). Once seated we were advised of elements on the menu (including rose wines which were not available through how busy they were?????. )

Gin of the week - blood orange. Recommended by the bar staff proved to be delicious. Efficient and friendly service.

Booked as a pit stop for midday on Sunday on our way to Ripon. My partner opted for the beef and I went for the roast chicken. We both thought it to be well presented and could tell that everything was fresh. The seasoning was great with attention to detail with the vegetables not just the main ingredients.We both had deserts which again were well presented and not over facing in all a good experience and value for money. We will be back.

Visited this great place by chance upon flying into Leeds Bradford airport. As I knew the area and not having much time to find a pub doing food . We found this great pub by chance . What a bit of luck it was. Upon opening the door and looking around we thought yes . The manager is a great bloke and couldn't of been more helpful . My wife is a little fussy and he let us take our time looking at the menu . My wife always says " If it isn't a mish mash of this and that" Plus not a huge choice chance is it's good . Well she was right I had the Fish pie to die for and she had a very different type of pie ( Lamb) This was top quality too . Served with very fat home made chips and lovely gravy . Very good choice of pub it was , The Food , the staff , the pub . We loved it and hopefully our next trip away will be flying into Leeds Bradford , just to visit here again .

Booked a meal for my daughter’s 25th birthday on a Wednesday early evening. There was a nice atmosphere and it was much lighter and more spacious than I remembered. There were tables set up for dining but also an area to sit if you were just having a drink. There were a few tables outside at the front of the pub overlooking the Main Street. We were welcomed and shown to our table by Alice who looked after us and took our order. The menu had a good choice of meals, nothing fancy just reasonably priced pub grub. I ordered the fish pie. My husband and daughter ordered the homemade pie of the day (lamb) and my son had the burger. We all enjoyed our meals.. The fish pie included a variety of fish including salmon and prawns in a tasty sauce. The dessert menu looked very tempting too but we didn’t have one on this occasion. Overall I thought it was good value for money with the four main courses and two rounds of drinks coming to £72. I noticed that dogs are welcome in the pub so we will be taking our dog Monty with us next time.

Visited with a friend for lunch, the waitress was very friendly and helpful. Sadly they’d run out of several drinks from the football

We fell upon the Bay Horse on our way home from the Great Yorkshire Show, via various diversions, on the basis that it was the first pub we saw that did food. And what a nice find.

Wasnt sure when walking past but so glad i ventured inside very pleasent hosts and lovely venue visited with a baby and very nice

I was one of a very large party that met up at this Pub on Monday 28th May - bank holiday Monday. We were almost 100 in number for a modest charity walk and the Bar service was responsive and friendly and the lunch menu was interesting, the food was perfect service reasonably quick given the numbers.

The new decor and menu were wonderful.Would recommend to all.Very attenative friendly staff.Definitely a winner.

Had a lovely night at the quiz. Good ale and nibbles. Was great to see it thriving again. Looking forward to the next quiz in January

Firstly, the Bay Horse has one re opened ( (August 2017) and not closed as Trip Advisor advises. A new team from the Fox and Hounds at Walton has taken over and are taking strides to make this a destination eating place. We have visited previously and scored 4 out of 5 making adverse comments around the experience through poor service. As villagers we gave the establishment second chance with friends on a horrible Windy and Wet Saturday evening. As last time the food was excellent and this time the staff were warm and welcoming with very good customer service suggesting "a visit to the charm school has worked". We will return........worth giving the place a visit

Sunday Lunch was very average. Could have been so much nicer, but food was not hot. Won't be going back

Finally the Bay Horse is as good as it it should be. I remember the good old days of it being a real 'destination' restaurant. This incarnation isn't fine French dining (which was wonderful there at its height), it is everything a modern British pub should be. It has been very nicely renovated inside, but the real highlight was the food. Starters for all of us were perfect. I'm often reluctant to have beef on a Sunday as I'm usually disappointed. This was spot on. Generous portion, beautifully rare, and tasty! Really lovely mash too with the vegetables cooked just so. I'm not really a pudding fan, but the crumble was excellent. They have a very good chef in there. Lovely staff too. A new benchmark in Wetherby.

The food was excellent, the experience leaves a lot to be desired and the value needs improving. We arrived around 20 minutes ahead of our booked table time intending to sit outside and enjoy a drink before sitting down to eat. At the bar I advised we had a table booked, the moody looking restaurant manager(ess) immediately took us to our table which over road our plan to sit outside. within 2 minutes of being seated she returned looking for a food order which was not forthcoming at that stage. When we did order she dis not know what the asterisk meant against a gluten free option (one of our party being a coeliac) and likewise did not know what the soup of the day was. Following placing our order she returned to advise they had run out of gluten free bread (bearing in mind a good % of the menu is GF this is unacceptable bearing in mind this was early Friday evening) reulting in the starter being served in part. The food served up, both starter and mains was excellent however when I viewed mine (steak at £19) I looked at the overall portion sizes on the plate and thought " is that it". When we asked for the bill it was evident we had been overcharged for drinks we had not received, the waitress at this stage (not the manager) took the bill off me and questioned the manager re the incorrect billing, she simply responded " table 1", no apology was forthcoming or indeed what the course of action was. I subsequently returned to the table, with a few minutes a new bill arrived net of the overcharge but with no adjustment for GF aspects net of bread. I subsequently paid the bill but did not leave a tip which in all honesty is the first time in a number of years I have not left one. The visit was definitive in terms of understanding the establishment in terms of placing a further booking for a larger number of people. the end result being we will be going elsewhere, likewise as a villager i will not be rushing back, as stated at the beginning the food was excellent however the experience and the value both require working on. In summary, must try harder.

Called in for a Sunday lunch having heard that Bay Horse had reopened - we had driven past previously & thought it looked smart from the outside. Clearly been revamped, decorated & a fresh start once inside. Between us we had roast beef, Fish & chips, steak & ale pie and poached salmon - followed by chocolate brownies- all 4 plates were completely cleared & compliments from all - I thought the vegetables were cooked to perfection - if there was a small criticism it would be the service was a bit slow & the bar left unattended for long periods - fully accept it just opened & going through a learning curve - judging by our meals it looks set to become a regular haunt for us - well done - keep up the good work- definitely recommend

Lovely welcome, and flexible with arriving near to the kitchen closing time! So pleased as we had travelled from Southampton and the journey had been a long and arduous one!

I think the bay house is very good because I have had lots of drinks and and they are one of the best I have had and I have had food there once when I was there They set fire works of

Lovely country pub, recently modernised.

We stopped off here on the way back to Leeds. To be honest we weren't sure what to expect from...

Recently reopened after refurb, tastefully done. Lovely dining area as well as eating in bar area.Lovely welcome, easy relaxed atmosphere. The service was perfect, and the food..exceptional. Can't recommend enough, will be back.

So pleased to see our local has reopened. Had the salmon and husband had bangers and mash. The food was delicious and very well presented. I couldn't manage a pudding but the sticky toffee pudding went down a treat with my other half. Excellent value for money. We will be back soon!

It's good news that our village pub has reopened again. The place is now free from tie and is owned independently. It used to be an Enterprise Inn and, so like many PubCo pubs, opened and closed down frequently and provided little by way of value. Anyway, it's now free of tie (although the prices are no cheaper: £3.50 for a pint of Theakston's bitter) and has been done up in an attractive manner. At the moment the menu is limited whilst they find their feet. It does offer steak pie, bangers and mash, fish and chips etc for about £12. Starters are about a fiver. I haven't yet eaten but the food looks good. The staff are all pleasant and helpful too. Hopefully, it will stay open.

We went for an evening meal and were so pleased that The Bay Horse has reopened with new landlords and staff. It has been comprehensively redecorated and it looks beautiful inside and outside. The decor is contemporary and fresh. The menu is limited at the moment but the locally sourced food is all freshly cooked on the premises and it was all delicious. The bar is well stocked and there is a very good wine list. We will definitely be eating at The Bay Horse in Kirk Deighton again.

We dined at the newly re-opened Bay Horse which is now under the ownership of Alan Lamb of the Fox & Hounds, Walton fame. The building has been completely refurbished and the ambience as you walk through the door is extremely welcoming.We dined with another couple and everything we chose to eat was beautifully cooked, extremely tasty and well presented. All in all, it was a perfect meal and we wish Alan every success in his new venture.

This place seems to open & close with monotonous regularity. Had high hopes of the last owner/manager. Has been closed for quite a few weeks but now has scaffolding up. Is it going to open again or is it being converted into housing. I'll keep watch

A friend and I travelled separately from Newcastle and Derby to meet at this pub, go for a bike ride, and then enjoy some good food and drinks. The reviews had looked good and the menu looked better so we thought this area would do nicely. Sadly, when we got there, on a Thursday during half term there was no sign of life, no sign to say we weren't opening or that we were opening late and from the website it should have been open at the time we were there. Really disappointing considering we'd travelled so far. It's good to support local businesses but unfortunately we ended up going to a brown signed competitor a few miles north. Consistency with opening times is really important, or at least a warning.

Seeing that this pub/restaurant was open for business again, we decided to visit for a midweek lunch. On arrival shortly after the advertised opening time, we were advised by the chef to take a seat for few minutes and our orders would be taken by the Manager/bar personnel. We examined the menu and "specials" board but it became evident that the Manager had been delayed elsewhere when he arrived between 5 and 10 minutes later, and had to still carry out some preparation at the bar. By this time a small number of customers were waiting and orders were eventually placed. When the food was served, the portion size and quality was very good, served on nice hot plates. The price for our meal and drinks was slightly expensive, but the main issue related to being unable to place orders.
