Helwith Bridge Inn in Craven

Great little pub , very warm and welcoming, parked on the carpark overnight with our Motorhome, ate in the pub and the food was great , nice pint pint too , thanks

Came across this diamond yesterday while on a drive out, friendly staff and the food was amazing, lovely location

Just spent weekend here, loved it. Stunning views, the people are friendly and welcoming. Great food, staff are friendly and can not do enough for you to make your visit special. Would highly recommend. Thanks for a great time.

Friendly, cosy country pub, great meals, great beer, very fairly priced. Staff are very welcoming.

Really good food and service, best pub in the area forcfoodxand drink (had IPAs on) and far more reasonable than the ones in Horton.

We had lunch here. It was amazing,wonderful puff pastry topped Steak and Ale pie. The staff were really friendly and welcoming. Wonderful view of the River Ribble and Helwith Bridge. Busy place and definitely worth a visit.Great value for money.(( There are no hotel rooms so that is why I didn't give it a rating)

A lovely stop off from Horton,over to the Kightstable,a good choice of beverages and food.

Had a lovely day at helwith Bridge Inn today. Very friendly staff. It's under new management and thay are making a massive impression on the visitors making them welcome. Plus the food is really delicious 😋 freshly made. I would really recommend going there. I'm going back soon. Plus room in the carpark for campervan if you spend your money on there delicious food and good choices of beer's and other drinks. So make your next visit an enjoyable one this year.

We walked in the Helwith and the bar staff and kitchen staff where pleasant. We ordered a chicken fillet "buger" and a sirloin steak, the food came faster than expected and tasted microwaved, the steak didn't taste freshly cooked and the chicken burger wasn't even a burger it was just chicken breast on a dry bun, chips were okay bit not the best I've tasted. Wouldn't go for food there again.

Top class beer and the foods spot on

On a wild wet walk in terrible weather and we had to abandon it. We took refuge in the Helwith Bridge Inn. 20+ very wet people descended on them. We were given a very warm welcome and looked after. A lovely place to dry out, reasonable priced drinks and gorgeous hearty homemade chips. Hope to return on warm sunny day. Thank you for making us so welcome. 😁

Absolutely spot on, going back tomorrow 👍👍

Een passed many times, thought we'd pop in for some lunch. Great spot, great smiles, great service. Thanks and will be back....

The Staff and the locals are very friendly, The food is to Die for, Good wholesome food, Proper portions, None of this squiggle of Jue and a chip in a small basket malarkey! If you are hungry call in, you'll struggle to walk out !! The next time I'm over that way I'll be calling in again.

Probably one of Englands last true pubs: no frills, just completely authentic and a perfect antidote to commercialised chains and overpriced 'gastro' pubs. This is an independent pub offering well kept real ale, proper pub food, sensible pricing, open fire and a warm welcome.

Second visit to this lovely pub set in the heart of the Scenic Yorkshire Dales. Steak and stilton pie and steak and ale Yorkshire pudding was beautiful. Great service and lovely atmosphere. The locals are also friendly. We will be back soon from the lake district 🩷

Great campervan stopover. Friendly pub with good selection of beers. Large portions of food. Good menu. Very good value for money.

The second time we have stayed here in our camper. A lovely location. Its free to stay but ate out twice at the pub. The food is super and massive portions. Excellent value and lovely hosts. Will be back.

Stayed here over Christmas in our motorhome brilliant service the food was lovely and the owners very welcoming Massive car park very dog friendly Can’t wait to return

Pubs like this are few and far between . Always welcoming, always good ale - lucky to have this as one of our ‘locals’.

A fantastic rural country pub, with excellent food and even better value for money.

Had steak and ale pie it was lovely

What a little gem, dog friendly, and the food is delicious with proper chips You can stay on the car park with your camper van

Mediocre food at best. The ham sandwich looked like something which could be rustled up in the kitchen on a lazy afternoon and the chips were definitely oven chips

Stopped in our motorhome overnight. Great location and lovely food.

Great place for a post ride beer.

Top class food good price definitely go again

Lovely place with a nice atmosphere 👍

My partner wanted to find a really nice local pub with proper food, I'm happy to say the Helwith Bridge Inn did not disappoint. The food portions were very generous and tasted very good. Its location is quite close to Ribblehead Viaduct which we stopped at the the prices were very good for what we got. Highly recommend if you're looking for real English pub food at a great price!

We've stopped there on our way to Malham Cove from Hardraw Waterfall, and it was a great choice. The service was excellent, and the food was really tasty. Highly recommended if you are in this part of the Yorkshire Dales

The friendly helpful staff allowed us to stop over in our camper after a long drive, the food and drinks were great 👍

Down to earth pub. And allow overnight parking.

It was a very friendly pub and the staff were very helpful. We stayed overnight in our campervan a lovely place

Drink was good, food was not, but it was cheap! If they did better veg and did a sauce with the steak even for a couple of pounds more I'd consider it fantastic value for money. Staff were friendly, dog was allowed in too.

We went to Horton in Ribblesdale for lunch and found it was shut! Quick look at WhatPub and a few minutes in the car and we pulled in to Helsingborg Bridge just as they were opening. First impressions excellent, lovely landlady and good range of beers. We sat by the river to browse the menu which had a very good offering. My partner went for steak burger, I had veg cannoli. Meals arrived in very good time and were very good.

Great place to stay in campervan. Very welcoming, great food lovely, atmosphere will definitely go back.

Beautiful food and friendly welcome not only for us but for our fur baby aswell. Very reasonable priced aswell.

6 of us came for dinner. The staff were very welcoming from when we arrived, love and great personality’s. A good choice of ales and drinks. The menu is a great pub menu, we all had a mix of dishes, I am gluten free and the kitchen staff were great at accommodating me, the gluten free cod and chips were great. My friend really enjoyed their meal. We have booked for another evening as we really enjoyed it. I fully recommend.

The location is nice has a little River terrace. The food was great and the prices are good. Staff very friendly and polite. It is well worth a visit .

Arrived after a day walking, starving hungry. Pub not at all busy. 40 minutes till one starter arrived, they forgot the other one, which eventually arrived half an hour later. Then 20 minutes at least till the steaks arrived, which were over-cooked and dry, we asked for medium rare and they were grey through and through. VERY disappointed, did not enjoy the meal at all. Paul the landlord was surly and ungracious and did not apologise. We negotiated a reduced bill of £40, and still felt ripped off. The beer was mediocre by the way, not well looked after.

Called in recommendation wow wasn't disappointed good selection of beer. Wasn't going to eat but so glad we did food was lush fresh and served with a smile a warm welcome to strangers will definitely return well done keep it up

Called for a drink on our way back from Horton to Austwick and ended up having food too (although we had to wait until 5 when service started!). Good welcome, fairly priced food and drink as well. Had the steak and ale pie which has a great flavour with lots of lean meat and flaky pastry topping. Portions are generous and service friendly. Only comment is that the outside table could do with a good clean - but don't let that put you off.

We were on a break from Norwich for our 30th anniversary and found this establishment online. We had a fantastic meal, all hand made and cooked by the lady of the house. 5 star's all-round. As previous reviews we can recommend this establishment for a good night out and excellent food and company.

Found this little gem whilst we were on a short break nearby. Had dinner here as the one we initially wanted to try was closed. Certainly not disappointed. Its a little way out,right next to the river. Dogs welcome. Food, which I understand was prepared by the lady of the house was really, really good. Both of us had steak, one with veg the other with salad and it was the best cooked steak I have ever had. Unfortunately it was beaten by the sticky toffee pudding for desert, which was the absolutely best I have ever tasted and I have tasted quite a few. We all left with full tummies and a promise of returning the next time we are close by. Well done to the owners you do an absolutely fantastic job as hosts.

A warm welcome on a couple of snowy nights. Excellent British pub grub menu with generous portion size. Good value pub that's steeped in local history. (Fibre broadband is also available!)

Stunning location. The food in the pub is really nice and very reasonably priced, as are the drinks. Enjoyed every moment of our overnight stay here & cant wait to go back. Lovely friendly owners.

We called after a long walk on a Saturday afternoon. Staff were really friendly and we sat in the dining room, luckily we got there before it got too busy. The food came and was lovely big portions and delicious. We came to pay the bill and were suprised at the good value of the whole meal. Will be returning ..

Last minute stop on our way home. Perfect place to park up for the night with beautiful views. Dogs welcome 🐾 The food was homemade and delicious. Staff and service was fantastic. Would highly recommend and we will certainly be back. A lovely end to our Lakes and Dales trip.

Just come home from 2 fantastic nights in our campervan here with friends and our children. The food was amazing and they were so accommodating and kind with my friend who has a strict gluten and dairy free diet, she had GF fish and chips which she loved. The chef came out to our table to discuss options with her which we thought was fantastic. We had both lunch and dinner here and both were delicious large portions and the chips are to die for. All the staff were so friendly. It’s set right on the River Ribble with a gorgeous terrace overlooking it, we had a heron fly right past us while enjoying a drink. They are very dog friendly and there were quite a few campers/motor homes with lots of friendly people. One lovely couple helped me lower my pop top as it had seized up in the heat, wish I could have hung around to buy them a drink.

Great stopover just north of Settle. Stayed on a Thursday which is steak night in the restaurant. Two 10oz ribeye steaks with all the trimmings and a bottle of red for under £40. Good selection of cask ales all reasonably priced. Outside toilet and fresh...

Just came across this pub .And was great to see people who know how to run a pub food great beer great people friendly.Dogs more than welcome steak night on a Thursday.plenty of parking just a great place.

After a good walk what better than to sit by the river eating a hearty meal. The steak and ale pie was full of tender beef steak served with chips and veg.

Staying in Horton in Ribblesdale for a few days camping, we booked for our last night the Friday evening. What a brilliant choice having chosen it over the 2 hotels in Horton. We are so glad we did. The friendly landlord had a range of...

Great place with decent beer and an extensive menu. Proper grub to be had well presented with decent portion sizes. Cant say any more just try it yourself

Love this pub & always visit when in the area. The landlord is great so welcoming as are all the locals whenever we've been in. We have visited in gorgeous weather where the views are lovely & also freezing cold wet & windy where you...

Lovely choice of Real Ales and delicious food.

Best yorkshire puddings in yorkshire mmmmmm

Meals are good and excellent value for money. Friendly staff and your pooch is welcome too. Recommend.

What a great pub ! We weren't able to make use of the lovely Riverside terrace because of the weather. However, we had a nice lunchtime snack and returned for dinner. Really nice and varied menu, including vegetarian choices. Perfect Real Ales as well ! Dog friendly too. The service was prompt and really friendly, we highly recommend the Helwith Bridge Inn !

Loverly pub with a brilliant friendly atmosphere and excerlent food at a very reasonable price give it a try you won't be disappointed

We found the place on the Park4Night app and decided to have our first "pub stopover" in our van here. They allow campervans to stay in their carpark if you eat and drink in the pub. The pub was ace! Proper English, independent, country pub, full of lovely folk. I had the steak and ale pie which was great, washed down with their house Bitter (£3.80) which is brewed locally especially for them. Don't expect any fancy gastro pub, just proper good honest hospitality and grub. Had a lovely nights sleep in their carpark. Although the lorries going to and from the local quarry are a bit noisy in the morning. A quick drive down to settle for a walk and all in all a lovely time was had! I've attached photos of their menu (as of Jan 2022) We will definately return! Follow our adventures on Instagram @tansythefordtransit

A nice welcome and a cheery place. Food cooked to order and home made. Portions more than ample and reasonably priced. Enough variety on the menu to satify most tastes.

Called in for a drink stayed until 5pm and had a meal, it was lovely home made food the fish and chips were lovely will definitely go again

Fab pub. Had an overnight stopover in our campervan. Fantastic food. Busy carpark.10 vans overnight.

The best pub around Austwick, Stainforth and Settle. The landlord and landlady are very hardworking and the locals are great characters. You will not be disappointed with your visit.

After a long scenic and strenuous hike over the dales, we stopped off here for a bite to eat and we were really pleased we did so. A warm,cosy pub, very welcoming hosts and a cheerful atmosphere with other customers. We ordered the steak and ale pie and a lamb Henry, both huge portions and delicious, accompanied by an assortment of five vegetables and chunky chips. It really topped off a lovely day out and will definitely return when next in the area. Highly recommended!!

Proper cosy little country pub. Great pint of beer. Lovely bowl of chunky chips. Games room with pool table for the kids. Definitely going back in the summer to sit by the river.

Been here a number of times over the past few years and always met with a consistently high standard. Good food with hearty portions at sensible prices. Always a good selection of cask beers, attentively served. Usually pretty busy (testament to the high standard) so can be worth pre-booking! Keep doing what you're doing!

Very warm welcome, lovely coal fire burning away. We had a large Yorkshire pudding filled with beef and chips, yummy. 2 bottles of Rioja, happy bunnies

Lovely place, great welcome, food generous.

Very friendly locals traditional pub very welcoming That’s both the locals and the landlord. Excellent range of beers the food was excellent along with the service very reasonably priced would recommend this pub to anyone who likes good beer and food and a proper pub

Very very good pub. Tasty & plentiful food and a surprisingly large range of beers very reasonably priced. A gem of a place with a nice fire in the middle of nowhere, perfect for a post hike beer & a good feed. Will be back again soon.

Good beer good food brilliant hosts a warm welcome as always thank you see you in a few weeks xx

Great Sunday lunch after a walk

Just called on the off chance for tea, 4 adults & 4 children & very accommodating. Absolutely delicious food & very generous portions. Highly recommend. Quality food & lovely hosts. Bravo 👏🏼

We're staying up at the camping pods up the road and given the rainy weather we walked down to Helwith Bridge Inn hoping to get a table to eat. The place was heaving as it was their Thursday steak night but thankfully the lovely owner of the place kindly said he could let us have a table for 4 as long as we were fairly quick. We ordered straight away from a nice, simple but varied menu. The food arrived quickly and was really delicious. The kids had some decent chicken nuggets, chips and beans and we had sirloin steaks with lovely garnishing...onion rings, chips, peas and mushrooms....all fresh and nicely cooked. Drinks were lovely too, a couple of beers then two glasses of red wine which were very drinkable. We managed to sneak in a couple of lovely mini tubs of icecream for the kids before paying a very reasonable bill. A lovely warm welcome despite being busy and not having booked. Very friendly staff and great food. Really pleased we popped in.

Just got back from a weeks holiday at Helwith Bridge and visited the Inn nearly every day. Brilliant little pub that serves the biggest portions of food we have ever seen, excellent quality and plenty of choice. Can’t praise this place enough and the hosts...

Out on a walk went to this pub for refreshments & a meal... Massive burgers & delicious liver in a Yorkshire pubbing (not everybody's choice I know.. 😋) at a reasonable price... Lovely views...

Outstanding service and cosy acommodation, hospitality done the right way!

Friendly welcome, great food and fantastic value. Will absolutely be returning when we’re next in the area.

We visited this quaint little pub last night , and was very impressed with the welcome, the views are beautiful, and the food was top notch. I had the pie with chips and veg, and I've never had a pie with so much filling, flavour...

Just had a great giant Yorkshire pud with steak & ale, so filling was disappointed I couldn't order syrup sponge & custard! Very clean with a good atmosphere & very friendly staff. Sat by the window overlooking the river, gorgeous views

Great pub. We were walking in the area and wandered in for lunch. Good beer and nice food at a very reasonable price, and a friendly welcome from the landlord. I recommend it.

Brilliant place, amazing food, friendly people, wood definitely go again.

We turned up quite late in the evening, the food was excellent and plenty to fill even the hungriest of bellies, beer was good and they allow campervans to stop over in the carpark in return for a bit of pub custom. Lovely couple run...

Good honest home cooked food. Decent ales. Accommodating host.

Lovely pub by the river and friendly people! A+

Great little place with a welcoming atmosphere and good food.

Ate here this week with our dog. Excellent quality and value for money. Portions sizes are large but that isn’t a complaint. Would defiantly recommend you give it a visit.

2nd visit this year. Very close to the Pen Y Ghent walk. Good value tasty food. Clean facilties and friendly owners.

Came across this little gem by the river. Great host and very welcoming. We had a light lunch and a couple of drinks. The view was fabulous sitting by the river. Well worth a visit!

Strange, quirky old world pub. Food was good and reasonably priced. Decor and feel, very dated. Enjoyed eavesdropping on locals... Very entertaining.

Great real ale and gorgeous food , enormous portions and home made

My family and I visited for a meal recently for my husband’s birthday. We were staying at a local campsite, so booked a table in advance. We were not disappointed. The staff were so friendly, the food was wonderful and the views ace too! Next...

A warm welcome. Good beer and good food
