Dalesman Country Inn in South Lakeland

I would never recommend anywhere that charges £21.60 for two medium glasses of what is clearly cheap supermarket wine.

By far the best hotel I've stayed in , in a long time! The room was exceptional with all mod cons and little home made soaps as finishing touches. Bed was the comfiest bed ever and beautifully decorated. Staff were lovely especially Carol who made our stay extra special, food was amazing and breakfast was top notch! Not much to do in the village but you have everything you need here for a relaxing break away.

We visited after hiking in the local area for a late lunch ( 1500). The pub itself is very tastefully decorated and has a great ambience. Service was great and the bar has a large choice of draft beers. To start I had the fish cake ,which was served with a poached egg and tartae/ hollandaise sauce. It was easily the best fish cake i have eaten and the sauce was sublime. Main course was steak pie served as an individual pie with triple cooked chips and veg. Whilst I know this is typical pub grub it was great and was a generous size. Desert was an apple and calvados cheescake with pistachio ice cream. Again the quality was top draw and presentation was up there with a top end restaurant. My wife had minestrone soup which looked and tasted superb, followed by a burger with the chocolate fondant for desert. We both agreed it was easily the best “ pub” meal we’ve had for many years. In all a great experience and reasonably priced.

We visited on a Thursday evening while staying in the area. I chose the cheese souffle to start, which was light, airy and very cheesy. A decent sized portion of bread accompanied it which meant none of it was wasted. For mains we ordered the haddock & chips and bream. The batter on the haddock was light and crispy and the chips were well-cooked. The bream was perfectly cooked. The only negative is that it didn't come with much in the way of vegetables and the side order of greens was £5 which when added to the cost of the bream brought it to just under £30. If you're going for dessert we'd highly recommend the snickers dessert which is very aptly named! There is a good range of well- kept cask beers and also reasonably priced wines by the glass. Service was friendly throughout. Of note, pre-booking is advisable as most tables were full on the Thursday, so I imagine it is even busier at the weekend.

Most of Sedbergh is closed Monday and Tuesday, the Dalesman is open, lots of people looking for somewhere to eat.. no dogs = no custom.

We had an absolutely delicious dinner here this evening. All 3 courses were amazing! If you’re in Sedbergh, I’d highly recommend this restaurant.

Staff were friendly and informative, we are here twice and both meals(haddock &chips & Sunday dinner) were spot on. Will definitely be back.

The food and beer were were fair enough but was disappointed to find on (later) checking the tab to realise a charge of £1.99 had been made for a bottle of tapwater. Poor. Note to self, scrutinise bill more carefully next time?

Lovely friendly little pub is a great location. Went for a walk stopped here on the way back, sat outside, really very pleasant.

We stayed for two nights - bedroom, restaurant, bar and staff all excellent. The staff were always friendly, helpful and accommodating despite being extremely full throughout our stay

Popped in for lunch today and hoped for a good feed. It was AMAZING. I got the lamb hot pot and my partner got the steak pie. Home cooked food to an excellent high standard. Meat tender, sauces full of flavour, good portions etc. We’re so glad we went in. Service was great, lovely atmosphere. Good value too. Thanks, we’ll definitely be back

This is a great restaurant. We made reservations for four, but a couple we met on the Dales Way came in at the same time but didn’t make a reservation. The staff were so kind to create two more places at our table. The atmosphere is very nice, it’s an old building, beautifully made into a very nice restaurant. The food was very good. Highly recommended.

Good things first; nice atmosphere, very friendly staff, good wine list. The menu had one vegetarian starter and a soup and two main courses, however the starter was also one of the mains in a larger option and the soup was sweet potato, the same as one of the mains so not really any choice at all. The ragu was very poor, cold, under-cooked sauce and starchy pasta. The "sweet potato fondant with sorrel, sage & oyster mushroom fricassee and herb cream" promised much but was none of those things - a big chunk of sweet potato, some cubes of sweet potato, some sweet potato peel, a few mushrooms, some shredded herbs, and a pot of runny sauce. All this for £20 a plate once service was added. I'm no chef but I would have been embarrassed to put that on a plate in front of anyone, the "new team of chefs" certainly gave us a memorable dining experience but probably not in the way they intended.

This was the most appalling meal I have ever been served in a restaurant. I don't think the chef knows what a ragu is and has not yet learnt how to cook pasta - pretty basic stuff. Some watery tomatoes, a few tiny pieces of undercooked aubergine, and starchy overcooked pasta - a flavourless meal, all served luke warm. It just simply is not good enough to serve food of such low quality, let alone charge nearly £20 for it. I would advise anyone who wants a vegetarian meal to avoid this pub.

Visiting for the first time with my partner she didn’t want a starter because she didn’t think she was hungry enough but I had one, scallops !! When it came it was three of the smallest scallops I’ve seen in actual fact they were cut in half £15 for 1.5 scallops and over cooked . Main courses, chicken sous vide endive salad £19, absolutely tasteless this is what my partner had I had fish of the day which was plaice I like plaice £25 it was under cooked and not fresh we sent them both back and still paid them £50 for the privilege. I don’t normally complain and I will pay for good food but this wasn’t a good experience, which is a shame because pub does have nice feel about it .

Came for a family dinner when we were on holiday. Pub has wonderful interior with a lovely atmosphere. Dinner was amazing and couldn’t fault a thing. Wonderful service by Sam and Jackie who are fantastic ambassadors for the pub. Thank you for your kindness

We stayed at The Dalesman on a rainy Tuesday (22/08) and were warmly greeted when we arrived. We were upgraded in our accommodation at no extra cost, which was a lovely start to the stay. The bar area was cosy and had a vast array of spirits and wines to choose from. The room we stayed in (2) was spacious and immaculate throughout and would request this room, when we return. We booked in for Dinner and enjoyed an excellent meal with warm and attentive service throughout. We were the only people booked in for breakfast, but were not made to feel out of place, being the only ones ordering food and enjoyed a fantastic breakfast, with the sausages needing to be mentioned, as the best I have ever eaten. Thanks again for a fantastic stay and we will see you again soon.

Absolutely wouldn’t go again overpriced can make better myself at least I would put some meat on the plate when you order beef it would be good to get enough to at least taste it £19.50 for a Yorkshire pudding ( if you could call it that) And a couple of roasted potato bits and a bit of veg, we did complain when we were served our meal but were given a feeble excuse twice. Regret not taking photos now!

We'd just arrived for a week's stay in Sedbergh. Called into the Dalesman early evening to ask if they could accommodate a table for 5. Waitress just looked at us and said, "No." We then walked across the road to the Red Lion and received a warm welcome and ate there. We returned to the Dalesman one sunny afternoon to sample their Sedbergh gin. Whilst ordering at the bar, we asked to book a table for our final night in the village. The barlady went to book us in & I told her we also had a small dog and she just looked up and said. "No dogs inside." On both occasions, the staff were abrupt, almost to the point of rudeness. Unfortunately, this was the coldest hospitality that we received during our stay in Sedbergh, and pleased to say all the other eateries gave us a warm welcome, including our small dog. Shame, because the pub looked nice.

I came here last year as I got a voucher and it was good so thought I would try again as its fairly local to me. Yes delightfull is the word, I would say better and you can tell, the price is better value than when we were last here and the flavours are totally different. I can only comment on the lunch menu though this time. Four of us ate I had the lamb flatbread, my partner had (as she always does) fish and chips now this needs a mention gluten free battery and what a difference, so so crispy, my sis had the ploughman's and my mum went for scallops off the evening menu. Service was faultless and we were the first in but by the time we left it was full but it created a lovely atmosphere for daytime. We all decided to come back for dinner and booked on the back of it as the menu looks very decent

This was my first trip to this lovely village/town. We dropped our son off for the summer school and picked him up ( amazing week at the school too) and we checked out all the menus for each place as there is more choice than first meets the eye . We made a bee line for the dalesman as on the menu instantly you had symbols for various types of dishes and allergies. This saves you asking and quite often waitresses not knowing g!..I have to be gluten free for medical issues and believe me it can be a pain in some places. Food was a bit of a wait but it was very busy, during the week too. Service after we started was brilliant and attentive. We did get chatting to the gentleman that served us and he said that all the staff were local which sort of goes with the vibe and the village too. My hubby lived the beer selection and I have to me tion the MIP rose wine....divine. We want to come and stay soon. Praise where praise is due.

I was in sedbergh for both business and pleasure. I was lucky enough to have a fine day, which in July was lucky believe me. I got to sit outside and have lunch with a colleague, although noisey with traffic it is nicely shielded with greenery to prevent some noise. I had the lamb flat bread which was full of flavour and the tasting, I had apple tatin before but peach I was unsure of, and I was not disappointed at all. Service was good but not over the top. I ate here in in January and I can see an improvement. I for sure will eat again next time. I have to say sedbergh has some great places to eat.

Very rude staff … we had eaten there the night before and had an ok experience but tonight was just horrible, I enquired if we could order some food for takeaway the blonde girl was extremely rude - there were no other places open for food and I had a young child with me … i am not complaining that they didn’t do takeaways but just the way the young girl spoke to people. Another member of our party had got there before us the night before and received the same abrupt tone… she really should be provided with some training or the management should take care to teach her how to approach customers.

Can't believe a pub in the middle of a National park does not allow dogs....this must be the only one. We are staying for a week and will eat out every night.....but certainly not here ! Called late on a Saturday Eve, place less than half full, pouring with rain and told to sit outside ! I think not.

We arrived on a warm Saturday afternoon around 3pm. We had travelled to look at a possible property to buy and so we were scoping out the area. When we arrived it was not busy, but a few people in and plenty of space inside. We were looking to have a meal and drinks before we went on a walk. At the bar, we asked if food was still being served and the reply was in no uncertain terms an abrupt "We don't allow dogs inside!" So we didn't hesitate and left - it never crossed our mind to sit outside and eat! Is the management aware that they are on the border of the Yorkshire Dales, near the Lake District, the mecca of dog walking, "Herriot" country and Wainwright walks? It's legendary, to sit by the fire with your dog and have a pint, but they seem to have missed that literary and cultural connection that tourists want to experience - how very stupid of them! Maybe they also missed the memo that dog ownership has increased after COVID or that almost everyone we passed had a dog, or that they are surrounded by farms with sheep and sheep dogs! It is unfathomable to my mind that we were not allowed to pay the best part of £30-£40 for two meals and drinks INSIDE with our very well behaved dogs who quietly flop down under the table. The expectation was to banish us to the outside - what if the weather changed, then what? Eat soggy food in the rain? It's Yorkshire and the weather changes hourly! If they had said 'Well we have a 'dog friendly space' and directed us there, that's fine, we understand not everyone is a dog fan and some people allergic. The pub even had two distinct rooms so that would've been possible and acceptable, Quite frankly, a country pub in an area where dog walkers literally flock to, made famous by a local vet that doesn't allow dogs simply beggars belief. If anyone is thinking of going for a meal in a lovely country pub, with a warm dog welcoming atmosphere then all of the food establishments in Kirkby Lonsdale - even the high-end Italian restaurants are dog friendly and packed with dog walkers and their owner's enjoying drinks and meals - go there because the Dalesman is not dog friendly and as a consequence not even human friendly.

Pleasant ancient pub in pretty Sedbergh. We were there on a Sunday and the lamb roast, with lots of trimmings, was terrific. Together with a soup, local ale and mineral water, lunch for three came to a reasonable £67.60.

Food was nice however beef was overdone, as were Yorkshire puddings and potatoes were also hard, pate starter also could’ve done with more chutney, reasonably priced, staff were pleasant

Absolutely awful. I have never been to a restaurant that’s left such a bad taste in our mouths (food and service). Starters are around £15 - we ordered ‘king’ scollops and they were cut in half! We paid £15 for 1.5 burnt scallops. We then...

Top pub! Quality in everything from the welcome at the bar, the up to date yet still traditional interior, the beer, the Dalesman Gin and the food, which was absolutely excellent. So good we went back for a second meal the following evening (and went...

Food was good. But for some reason they thought it was reasonable to give us a table by the front door when it was very quiet. The room was cold, and then they propped the door open at 8pm in order to carry in logs...

The meal sadly was terrible. The advertised ‘marinated cauliflower steak’ was nothing but a thick slice of cauliflower, barely cooked. It was barely edible. How a 30p slice of cauli with a few spoonfuls of curry sauce on top could ever justify a £16 price...

Great proper little pub, good beer selection. Could do with a few more seat as most were laid for melas but there was no one dining

I visit Sedbergh occasionally, but it's been a while since I was last there. I've had meals in the Dalesman on several occasions and it has always been of a decent standard, good honest pub grub done welI thought I would revisit on my latest...

Birthday Dinner, whilst on holiday, very friendly and welcoming staff, great menu and great wine pairings, really enjoyable experience

Really nice three course meal including a great vegetarian main and two superb desserts. Very friendly service. Not especially cheap (£97 for two of us with a small gin and tonic each) but well worth it.

Spent several evenings in the outdoor seating area for drinks after walking in the hills but on a couple of occasions as the evening became chilly and we tried to move inside we were made to feel very less welcome, even though several vacant tables...

lovely beer garden outside, nice customer service the staff happily had the dogs in the garden and gave the dogs water. Better pricing than other places in Sedbergh. Nice experience👍👍

We arrived hoping to have a meal here but the bar lady was most unwelcoming about us having our dog with us so we sat outside, besides a busy road (and it wasn't relaxing watching a child who kept running onto the road). So we...

We've been coming to the area for years and have always liked the Dalesman, but they seem to have reached a new level recently. We went in for a late dinner after arriving in town, and the staff very kindly went out of their way...

Road is noisy but was a beautiful evening so sat outside. Unable to order for a short while as busy with bookings. Wine flowed. Further delay to ordering but we stuck with it. Glad we did. Food was incredibly tasty! Glad we ordered sides as...

Called in for a drink with the intention of booking a meal but the lady behind the bar was very unwelcoming, almost rude in fact and made us feel as though we were a nuisance for daring to call in at all. Maybe she had...

We went to the pub both for a drink and for dinner. The staff were very friendly and there was a nice atmosphere. Our dinner was delicious and the bill was £70 for two courses and one drink each.

We were walking the Dales Way and stopped off in Sedbergh. Dinner at the Dalesman was exceptionally good. The quality of ingredients, the preparation and presentation are all first class. We had the lamb and pork belly and each was perfectly done with delicious sauces...

My husband and I visited recently whilst in Sedbergh celebrating his 30th birthday. I chose the Dalesman as I wanted something special for the occasion but unfortunately I was SO disappointed. Firstly the food was served so fast it put a dampener on the whole...

Call in for a beer, soft drink or some delicious pub food! It's a treasure not to be missed. They serve a variety of meals to cater for everyone and the staff are always warm and welcoming.

Was not impressed with amount of food on plates main course 1 carrot and 7 frozen peas this must have been the first time I have ever seen so little veg on a plate all plates were same. Was very over priced nearly £30

Friendly welcome. Food was very tasty, more fine dining. Main meal portions a bit small but deserts more generous.

I was a bit worried after booking here because the menu looked a bit too posh for my level of pub dining! I didn't need to worry as the food was delicious! We even had puddings, I really enjoyed the cheesecake. The pub is really...

The best Sunday roasts ever!! Great menu and excellent food. Lovely service. Excellent breakfasts too. Highly recommend the Dalesman!!

We visited here at the weekend as a large group of mature ladies. Sat outside at first as it was lovely and sunny and plenty of room, but as the sun set it went chilly and we moved inside. Ordered another round of drinks which...

Not a good time. Rules for visitors but not the same rules for locals. A shame other times enjoyable. Will not be going again.

Visited around 5pm on a Monday night four adults a 12 and 6 year old. Was warmly greeted on arrival nice menu for both adults and kids with plenty of vegan dairy free and gluten free options. Food arrived quickly was was eaten just as...

We visited twice during our weeks stay in Sedbergh. We were apprehensive given some of the mixed reviews on TripAdvisor but as the selection of restaurants in Sedbergh is limited, we decided to give the Dalesman a try. I had the soup starter on both...

Tried numerous times just to get a beer. They are happy to serve you outside the pub (very handy with winter drawing in), but being able to drink inside the pub is like finding the holy grail. Unless your eating, don't bother.

Called in for early evening drinks outside, friendly service from knowledgeable and welcoming staff. Very dog friendly and will be going back.

We went in the restaurant tonight and the place was lovely, the foods a bit expensive for what you get, it was presented really nicely but it was just warm, the plates were hot but not the food,one of my potato's had been burnt and...

Booked for Sunday Lunch. Access was a little tight for wheelchair but being a period pub in the Yorkshire Dales, that wasn’t surprising. We had Roast Beef with all the trimmings and A piece of Bass with Samphire and buttery new potatoes. Both were excellent...

We only popped in for drinks a couple of times. They were very busy, but accommodated us with little fuss, and took our order promptly The local beers are delicious, and my wife tells me their own gin is lovely

Really nicely prepared and presented food, served by personable, knowledgeable staff. Unlike other establishments in Sedbergh, this property has a good product, knows it, but isn’t overly cocky about it. Lovely staff, not afraid of chatting to the customer, either!

Very nice dinner. Duck confit and a Squid Lobster combo for starters. Mains of a chicken breast and a lamb trio. Desert Creme Brûlée and the cheeseboard. Very good service from a well run team. Surprised by the number of diners coming and going without...

Enjoyed a wonderful evening meal. Beautifully presented and very tasty. I had haddock and my husband had lamb. Staff were very friendly and welcoming.

My top tip here is to absolutely book a table in advance and especially on a Monday evening! That said we were lucky enough to book as it does get very busy (as soon as your food arrives you will understand why!) The menu is...

Incredibly disappointing dinner. Friendly but dismally slow service. Arrived at 7 for drinks prior to 7.30 table reservation. Starters served at 8.35 and didn’t speed up. They’re trying too hard. They aspire to fine dining and charge accordingly but fall well short of the mark....

Lovely old inn in Sedbergh. We stayed here for four nights and were very pleased we did. Our room was comfortable (Room 1) and had the biggest and most comfortable bed (7 ft) we've ever slept in. The food was amazing and the staff, especially...

This is the second time we have used this restaurant and both times have been poor and very expensive. Very happy to pay over the odds for good food, but last time we were in on a Sunday and ordered 4 meals which included a...

We did not stay here, but had lunch and dinner. Both were excellent and service was very good. There was a good selection on both the food and wine menus with a good variety of beers on offer. It is a wee bit on the...

We finally managed to get a booking for an evening meal having tried unsuccessfully all week during our stay. Thankfully we were in town and able to walk in rather than using the website which seemed a bit inaccurate for availability. But we are glad...

We did not stay here just ate in the restaurant. The food was great BUT we felt rushed from arrival. Its such a shame, we would have returned but we called in for a drink the next night at 9pm to be told they were...

Recently stayed here so we could attend a wedding locally, have no complaints what so ever. The staff were all very pleasant and happy to help. The room we stayed in was lovely and the bed was stupidly comfy. Breakfast was good I would recommend...

The experience of the meal out was good. The environment is lovely and so was the staff. However, the meal seemed overcooked but lukewarm. I had the lamb and my fella had the suet pudding. We ate there on a Monday evening. After 2 days...

Judging by the reviews below, we thought this place had changed management. Our waitress said they had just changed their approach. What they have done certainly works. Spelling aside, the menu was small (tick) varied (tick) and interesting (tick). We had to ask them to...

Sedbergh is a lovely little village that appears to punch well above its culinary weight. Of the two pubs that we found, the Dalesman is positively inviting whereas the Red Lion feels rather intimidating and hostile to out-of-towners. The food and service here at The...

Food was good, though steak and ale pie crust was solid, beer was superb, service was very very slow, even for the drinks and quite expensive.

This is a beautiful, cosy and charming place. The food was amazing and the best on our 8 day walking holiday. However the small part of the restaurant towards the back was packed with tables and customers. No measures to have tables further apart than...

I am struggling to find the right words to review this bar where we had dinner.  I rarely give such a bad review and I know the hospitality trade has suffered greatly but our experience here was awful.  The food is dreadful, in fact our whole visit would be laughable if we hadn't wasted such a lot of money.   We started with a couple of beers and one aperol spritz which was their only drink resembling a cocktail.  The spritz arrived and must have contained a thimble full of aperol, the drink was clear rather than the usual amber colour (wish I had taken a pic).   We ordered wine for the meal and chose a bottle of Malbec at £24 but were told this bottle wasn't available but could be replaced by another Malbec at £10 more!  We had heard the staff telling an adjacent couple that another wine was no longer available and then later heard the two waitresses discussing the fact that they had run out of chardonay??    They also ran out of food choices off the menu early evening (we were there just after 6pm).   We could hear people around us (two different tables)  moaning about the service and the prices they now charge (£16 for fish & chips!!!).   On to our experience of the food.  We both ordered the vegetable en croute.  What arrived was not en croute, there was no sign of pastry but instead we were given a plate of stewed veg on top of burnt toast which we crunched our way through trying not to break our teeth in the process!  Main courses were the trio of lamb (distinctly average) and the beef cheek ragu which was in a word "shocking".   The waitress asked how I had enjoyed the ragu when she collected my barely touched plate and I told her in a quiet voice (not wanting other patrons to hear) that it was in fact tasteless.  I would say that it resembled pasta with beef soaked in plain water.  I had only eaten a few mouthfuls but was still charged for the dish and there was no apology.    I would like to add that I travel all over the world and I write many reviews and refer to Tripadvisor in the majority of cases before visiting a restaurant.  However we booked this place for dinner on discovering our own hotel (Black Bull) was closed for evening meals on Mondays and had I known of the rating of 3.5/5 I would never have booked.  I would ask anybody reading this review to please not make the mistake we made and go elsewhere, it has to be better than this.Sent from my Galaxy

Lovely little pub with a comfy, rustic outdoor seating area. Service was quick and efficient, and the lamb Sunday roast was definitely one of the best we’ve had. Nice desserts too. Worth the visit if you’re in the area!

On our first night in Sedbergh we had pre-booked a table and had a very good meal so we rebooked for the next night. Unfortunately, this was not as good as two of us ordered burgers which were slightly raw in the middle. We had...

Really pleased we found the Dalesman, after 2 or 3 days admittedly not too strenuous days walking a section of the Dales Way and staying in our campervan nearby - especially as many of the other pubs, restaurants and cafes in the town seemed to...

Fell lamb, heaps of veg, two pints of "Old Man" ale from the Conniston brewery. Fantastic. Careful Covid precautions. Some things are still right in this world.

We weren't expecting tapas at a traditional pub in this region but that's what we ordered and what a hit it was. An excellent, varied selection of tasty little dishes. We went for just about everything on the menu, sharing between three. Puds were more...

We were on holiday and staying in a cottage near by. A good selection of beers and the food was excellant. It was fortunate that the weather was warm and sunny as dogs are not allowed inside but plenty of seating outdoors

Very friendly country pub with great staff and food. Even with Covid masks on we were made very welcome and enjoyed our visit

We booked a table to eat in for dinner at The Dalesman specifically because of the tapas menu on the website. Unfortunately after being seated at our table we were informed that only the pub classics menu was available this evening due to being 'short...

Had a lovely 2 course meal. Service was excellent and COVID-19 secure. Food was piping hot and absolutely delicious. Generous portions and good value.

Lovely place, proper English pub with brick work, beams and fireplaces. Had the bacon chop, broccoli and roast potatoes which was lovely and cooked to perfection. Lovely welcome on arrival and a nice selection of beers. to avoid disappointed you need to book in these times. Also has rooms which would be a great base for exploring the Dales or Lake District.

Very very hospitable and excellent food. Really welcoming when we arrived with no booking. Very well kept beer. Very good choice on the menu and good quality food. Staff were very helpful and prompt with service - thoroughly recommend; all round a great find. Perfect for a lunch on our long and tiring bike ride.

We grabbed a very spontaneous 2 night stay in Sedburgh and found a local for dinner. Unfortunately for us not dog friendly, but staff on the phone happily reserved an outside table and wanted to accommodate us. The food was fantastic. We are not picky, but have in our last 20 years been lucky enough to have eaten at some amazing places. My husband said ‘This is honestly one of the best, if not the best I’ve ever had’. He had the Tomahawk for 1. He does not compliment easily. I had the pork belly rib, son had the fish. All outstanding. Genuinely was not expecting this. Not for any reason other than we were just grabbing a quick dinner locally to fill a hole....the staff were fantastic too. Blown away. We may just pop back tomorrow as the burger on the other table looked incredible

The Sunday roast is absolutely outstanding, great value for money considering the clear quality of the ingredients. Thanks for a great lunch.

Stayed in the two bed cottage as no rooms available. Needs updating, bathroom etc. Single bed in small room stained. Kitchen ok but oven dirty and the whole place needed a good clean, dusty shelves, lights. Comfy bed and good linen. Restaurant under staffed although bar man very good under pressure. Social distancing was a problem as people queued at the bar. Food ok. Had fish and chips. When we went to check out in the morning I was going to raise cleanliness issues but it looked like the cleaner was front of house and checked us out. Perhaps they are struggling with staff issues.

Food ok, tho when I commented that I couldn't find any anchovies (which had been detailed) as part of the salmon caesar salad, the waitress was quite surprised at my query & then on enquiring in the kitchen, came back to say there weren't any in stock.I was looking forward to a glass of gin to celebrate my birthday, but neither of the fairly common gins usually stocked in pubs, were available. A pint of cider sufficed. Service was not great, so unfortunately not rewarded.

absolutely fantastic food and a great service highly recommended for your first post lockdown meal out 👌👌

The staff were really friendly, they had a good selection of beers and board games and a lovely warm fire. They offer lots of tasty sides, recommend the onion rings and the paprika chips! Little bit pricey.

A lovely pub with friendly staff. The pub food looked delicious and there were plenty of specials to choose from. We went for the tapas and chose one of each of the dishes on offer. The presentation was good, but each dish was heavily coated in batter which put us off. This pub is definitely worth a visit if you are passing, but perhaps avoid the tapas!

Four of us enjoyed lunch here after a wet and cold walk. Lots of choice on the menu. Eveyone's food was well cooked and of a high standard.

Lovely traditional pub with a great selection of beers and real ales on hand pump. Roaring fire on a really rainy day served great food with a good selection including desserts. Good service and we were a party of 10

On a 3 day break, we kept going back to eat at the Dalesman - excellent food at reasonable price in buzzing warm environment. Service friendly and good range of ales on offer.

Meal was excellent. Delicious, perfectly baked pie, mash and roasted veg, Friendly staff,,. couldn't have asked for better service
