Restaurant at White Rose Hotel in Richmondshire

We were staying in the village and went to the White Rose for an evening meal. The bar area was quite busy - it being a Friday night, but the bar staff were pleasant, attentive and helpful. When we ordered we were offered the choice of remaining in the bar area or sitting in the restaurant area to eat and we chose the latter. Our meals were all very good and reasonably priced and waiting staff were pleasant and efficient. The beer was well kept too!

We stopped here for food on the recommendation of the owner of the B&B we were staying at, and it was a great choice. We both had steak pie, which was outstanding, followed by a large sticky toffee pudding to share. Good size portions of everything, and reasonable prices. Service was very friendly, and the place had a busy village feel to it.

Well what a find this turned out to be! Last minute walk in for evening meal on Sunday and they couldn’t have been more accommodating. The food, and in particular the rack of lamb was sensational followed by the best sticky toffee I’ve ever had! Service was excellent too. Tony the chef did an amazing job. The lamb was local and fabulous. Couldn’t fault it. Well done to the staff at White Rose. First class.

My wife and I stayed at this hotel over a weekend. The room was large with a very clean en suite and always nice and warm . The bar is a good place to relax with the fire and have a drink . The food in restaurant was great , I had the Pate to start and the pork chop ,my wife gad the homemade burger . We finished with the panna cotta . The staff where lovely to deal with from the start of are stay and right to the end .

Called in during day for drink and sat in garden. Decided to book evening meal. Staff very helpful and place very clean. Excellent meal, quick service and meal was plentiful, hot and very tasty. Would well recomend.

The food wasn't great, my wife chose the pan fried chicken, this came with a red wine and mushroom sauce and mashed potato. The mushrooms were fine but the sauce had little taste, was watery and there wasn't much of it. The mashed potato was very lumpy and contained horse-radish which neither of us could remember seeing as an ingredient on the menu (as she wouldn't have chosen this if it was shown as she doesn't like it). I had the lasagne which was okay but the salad that came with it was a bit limp. The restaurant lacks any atmosphere and was cold because the door to the garden was left open the whole time. Not a great experience. The service was okay to start with, but there was only one girl serving the whole restaurant and as the evening went the waits got longer.

Three eateries in Askrigg, and personally this would be my third choice. It is more of the local pub than a restaurant. They appear to be short staffed, like much of hospitality at the moment, but the young girl in the restaurant deserves a pay rise and a medal, for all the running around she does. There was more staff behind the bar, who I felt should have been assisting her and the older lady in a busy restaurant. The couple on the next table were given a desserts menu, and then ignored for half an hour, when the guy did eventually give his order, and mentioned the wait, he was told chef wanted to get the table of 11 sorted first. Perhaps if they had known this, when given the menu, they might have felt less ignored. On being served our food, which was nice, we were not asked at any point if it was ok, which is the usual in restaurants. We had to wait for drinks, and I feel the drinks order should have been taken within a few minutes of sitting down, maybe the bar staff need to do this, to take the pressure off the restaurant staff. We were not shown to our table, just told which table number it was. It’s these small details which I personally think are letting it down. The food is pub style not restaurant, and if they can just get the service right, them it would improve customer ratings.

Had a Sunday Dinner yesterday and it was SUPERB, I had lamb and partner had beef and they were both melt in your mouth, 4 veg, awesome roasties and scrumptious Yorkshire puddings and we both could have eaten the gravy as soup it was SO Sue, Richard,Carl and all the staff are great The beer garden is fabulous, plenty of beautiful flowers and a grass area great for children and 🐶 tables,chairs and umbrellas if required Well worth a visit Jo & Ju

Stopped by today whilst walking from Aysgarth and had a lovely lunch with a couple of beers in the garden with our dog the was quiet but service and food was spot on

Visited four or five times while staying in a nearby cottage. Garden was pleasant, food was goodish, but the standout for me was the beer served by a quality landlord. Wensleydale Brewery Gamekeeper bitter was the best pint I had in a week of touring many a pub in this most wonderful part of England.

Ok, the food was at best average but incredibly overpriced, the so called Elton mess was as far away from an Elton mess as you could get with the minimal amount of cream or ice cream, poor merengue and just loads of fruit sauce that made it way too sour. The more worrying thing was the number of guests (and the bar staff) who seem to believe the wearing of masks is optional indoors. We felt very conspicuous because we wore mask when moving around. Even when COVID restrictions are finished I would be concerned about the hygiene standards. We won’t be going back.

We dropped in for a quick supper after a long drive from Worthing. Very good homemade food, excellent value. I had lasagna, which was lovely and freshly made with salad and chips and rhubarb panacotta for pudding. Very very good one of the best meals of our trip and certainly the cheapest.

Nice bright restaurant with reasonable choices. Had the homemade beef pie which was packed with meat and very enjoyable. My wife had Fish and Chips which she equally enjoyed.

We ate here twice during our stay in Askrigg. Food was lovely and felt safe. Staff very welcoming. Will be back on our next visit.

One dish take it or leave it basically. We left it. Great selection of dishes if you are not vegetarian We’re really not that hard to cater for just a bit of effort chef.

Had a lovely meal here but left early as were concerned that COVID measures weren’t good enough. Staff were not wearing masks and the tables in the restaurant were too close together. No windows were open, it was very warm and there was a table of 4 talking loudly with two of their party coughing, one into his hands. They did give us a form to fill in and cutlery was brought on a tray for us to set out ourselves. The bar area was quieter with tables much more spaced out.

Called in after a day out in the area. As it was a Sunday afternoon we asked if we needed to book a table for drinks in the evening only to be told if there were any available then just come in but there was a cricket match on in the village and it would be busy. So we arrived later to find the bar area quite full and the pool table room crowded with players all stood talking and drinking. Waited a while for a table but once sat felt a bit more safe but there seemed no rules regarding standing at the bar drinking and very little social distancing. As it was a special occasion with the cricket team just starting up again after 20+ years we said it was a one off so we returned the next night for a meal which although expensive for what you get was quite nice. Staff nice and friendly and drinks on par with other places in the area.

Had our evening meals here a couple of nights and can't fault it. Restaurant was extremely busy both times but the service was great. Booked to eat here again in September

We spent a week in the Dales and decided to have dinner here, first night was fine, meal lovely, had to ask for form to leave our Track and Trace details. We had a drink here one afternoon and there was at least 6 people standing drinking at the bar (no social distancing) no details taken from us on this visit. Decided as it was hard to get booked elsewhere that we would eat here a 2nd night, we didn't ask for form (and not offered) table we sat down at after meal didn't get cleaned, also on 3 visits no members of staff had any sort of mask on. Concerning, given the rise in Covid cases all around.

Scampi arrived without chips plus no cutlery,we asked for chips plus cutlery ,well chips did arrive & the cutlery was placed on a not very clean table in the garden still with no napkins.Not very hygienic considering the covid crisis plus staff were not wearing masks.

Food was average but tasty and waitress was friendly. The thing that surprised us the most was the lack of Covid-19 safety measures visible to the public (although I do not doubt that they had completed their risk assessment). Despite being a quiet night, we were given a table number by the staff at the bar which was directly next (and very close) to another table by the window in the restaurant. We were asked to order drinks at the bar and there were no signs of face coverings or barriers anywhere. There was hand sanitiser at the door. This experience was very different to the other eating experiences which we had had on our 9 day holiday and we would not return. We were also overcharged slightly on a drink - a pineapple juice was put under 'wine' but we decided to let this go on this occasion.

Food lovely been a few times and always been amazing im a fussy eater and always accommodated look forward to eating there again

Good service with all round nice food and good selection of beers and wines, plenty of selection to choose from

It's often quiet there, but a pleasent and calm quiet rather than awkward. I prefer that to tons of noise where you can hardly hear your self think let alone hear anyone who's with you. Today was the best Madras I've ever had, and I've had many!. The sticky toffee pudding is the nicest you can get. Staff are nice, especially at the bar

Fist impressions of the hotel are that it is a little in need of a new carpet - but forget that. The restaurant is very nice and the staff are lovely, the menu is extensive and not expensive and the food is great. We ate here twice on our week's holiday.

We had Valentines night dinner out in the White Rose. Quick, efficient service, cosy intimate atmosphere and choice of good beers. Portion sizes-perfect and price spot on. But the Title says it all; our meal was stunningly tasty and to die for, presented beautifully and cooked to perfection. Starter of smoked salmon was fresh, top quality with crisp salad leaves. The main of rack of lamb- just pinked, crisp where it should be and tender. Dauphinoise potatoes - melting, with crunch and creamy softness. I could happily eat the main meal every day! ....I wish!....For the high standard of the food, presentation and quality of taste, this was a total bargain dinner out. Highly recommend you don't miss eating at this restaurant/hotel when in Askrigg, it's a real treat.

Lovely waitress to help us on arrival Crevettes for my starter , lovely, fresh , hot and succulent Pheasant for main served pink, as requested, lovely to have local fresh game Lovely meal Thank you

Had a lovely meal in the restaurant. Made to feel welcome by the waitress and service of our meal was Quick . Nice setting

We went here for a midweek evening meal. The bar area looked dated so first impressons weren't great. Having a large TV on (Coronation Street isn't my favourite programme at the best of times) and background music on at the same time didn't really add to the atmosphere however the staff were friendly and prompt so we ordered our food; fish and chips and lasagne. The fish and chips were straight out the freezer and into the fryer and the lasagne was half the size we would normally expect. We were still hungry so tried the blackberry eton mess. I am not sure if there was ever any meringue but all we could find was a huge lump of cream with a few berries on top. I know that they are having issues with the chef but this was really quite poor and for what should be very simple dishes to be knocked up by a cook was a dissappointment.

Arrived at the White Rose about 6.30 pm . We were so happy and ready to enjoy our weekend away. We went to check in. The women who was looking after us had the most sour looking face on her. She gave us our key, told us our room was up 4 flights of stairs. Then turn left and we would find our number 8 room down there. Nobody showed us to the room or were interested on if we found it or not. The room was very dated but clean. Plenty of draws and hanging space. We unpacked then went back down to the bar. The same women served up ( still with a sour face) We got our drinks then asked if we could book a table. The restaurant was half empty but we still had to wait 1hour. It seemed to us people could only go into the restaurant to there table every half an hour . We finally got sat down .Our order was taken and the wait started . 25 minutes later our starters came. They had forgotten to put grated cheese on my husbands starter . there was no one around to tell so we let it go. Then.about 40 minutes later our main course arrived. Looked good. Did not ask if there anything else that we wanted just rushed off. My husband wanted some French mustard . So he put his hand up to call her over to him and as she came rushing past him she court his hand. She turned around and shouted at him saying Did you pock me that is an asult . We felt very uncomfortable. I just wanted to go back to our room out off the way We paid our bill and went back to our room. Could not believe what had just happened . We thought we would forget about it and hope that she was not serving breakfast. Through the night we found the bed was not good. A new one is needed, springs sticking out all over. didn't get a good nights sleep. Did not think it could get any worse. Breakfast would only give if 1 out of 10. But I can say the young girl that served us could show the others a thing or two. Very happy and lots off smiles, On checking out there was no one there to take our key or even to say hope you enjoyed your stay .NEVER again would we stay there again

Very helpful and friendly staff. We only had main courses.I had hunters chicken breast topped with cheese and bacon with a honey and balsamic vinegar sauce, very nice but let down by a large quantity of somewhat soggy chips. If I hadn't had the chips I might have ordered a dessert. My wife had sea bream fillets which where a bit overcooked but with soft skin. Overall the food was a bit disappointing.

We had a great feed of traditional haddock and chips, mushy peas washed down with a pint of Yorkshires best bitter. Staff were great, service was good, there is a restaurant at the back if you want finer fare, but this was a great meal after a days hiking in the N Yorkshire Dales.

Staff very welcoming and pub/ hotel very clean and fresh. Food was excellent and would certainly come again

Stayed for 3 nights. Room was spotless and the bed was comfy. We also ate there In the evenings, my partners favourite was 3 sausage and mash. Each sausage was a different flavour. I wont ruin the surprise for those of you wanting to try it. Thanks to all the staff for making us welcome.

We enjoyed our meal last Saturday at the White Rose Hotel, in the light and airy Orangery Restaurant. Our starters were a mini quiche and chicken liver pate. My only slight criticism was that there was a thick layer of solid butter on top of the pate which I thought my doctor would highly disapprove of! It was easily removed though and the pate beneath was light and delicious. For our main courses we had the salmon with crab bisque and, from the specials menu, slow-cooked lamb with green vegetables. The lamb was so tender it just fell apart, the gravy was well but not over-seasoned, and the vegetables were perfectly cooked. As for the crab bisque, just don't tell your doctor about the amount of cream in it!

Very unfriendly place except the staff serving food. They were wonderful. The bar was very unwelcoming as was the bill paying. The food was average at best...3 different sausages that tasted the same. Salmon that was generous and tasty but covered in sauce everywhere.

Lovely little restaurant; seems very authentic and an all-round pleasant experience. Food took about an hour to come, and the desserts and coffees were extortionately priced but apart from that, it was great.

Food pretty average here, some of the dishes we had okay, others poor. It is a good pub environment, but I wouldn't eat here again. The chef wondered into the eating area a couple of times (not to talk to the customers I hasten to add) with his trouser hanging so low, he was showing lots of crack, sort of off putting.

Another great meal. Have been here now on many occasions and the food and service are great. Plenty to choose from. The staff are great. Good value for money. Cant wait to visit again.

The restaurant lacks a bit of character, but the service was good and the food good value and good quality. I had hoggit (mutton) with vegetables and a mint jus. It was the first time I had eaten hoggit and can really recommend it, very full of flavour. One slight complaint, not enough jus, delicious but it ran out about a third of the way through my meal. My partner had scampi which was perfect, generous and with really good chips.

We were a party of four ladies out for dinner on a Saturday evening. We all ate different things from the menu and all found the food lovely.

Our food was pretty good but the restaurant was really empty and needed more thought to be given to creating atmosphere. Our red wine was a little chilly and the service ok but a bit lacking in details ( we were left to open our own wine for example). The bar staff were pleasant and friendly. Overall not a disaster just needing a bit more TLC

We didn’t go to this pub due to “reputation” of the Kings Arms. When we did go were were amazed at the standard of the food and attitude of the staff. We went on four occasions and we were exceptionally pleased and quite honestly amazed by the standard of the food. Cannot understand the negative reviews on this website and can not recommend this place enough. Honestly eleven people, four nights , not one complaint , fantastic !!!

The restaurant was almost empty but our meal was excellent. I had the scampi which was vey good. Service efficient and friendly Decor a little old fashioned but everything was clean and tidy

We ate here for dinner and my sea bass special and dessert were very good while my husband thought his gammon and chips very average. Service was slow, and not very attentive, with the waitress more concerned with setting tables for breakfast than dealing with customers. The room is also lacking in atmosphere.

I enjoyed the local beer, but of the meal, only the desert showed any real effort. The lasagne was all pasta, no meat, and the bruschetta, just a bit of French stick.

Just arrived at Askrigg for a week's holiday. Booked a meal at the White Rose that night. A varied menu to choose from. Prawn and crayfish cocktail starters followed by home made steak and ale pie for me and home made lasagne for my good wife. Had a drink in the bar after our meal. Always busy advisable to book.

Genuinely pleasant place to eat with good menu and reasonable prices. Good selection of beers and reasonably priced wine list.

Pleasant restaurant with reasonable menu at reasonable prices. Helpful staff and reasonable priced wine list.

Food was delicious..... Waitress was very friendly. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Wonderfully sunny beer garden, perfect to relax and chill with an ice cold beer. Will definitely come back again!

We ate here last year when holidaying in the area and thoroughly enjoyed the food. The meal this time was also good, and we all enjoyed our meals, but there was hardly anyone in the restaurant and somehow this took the edge off our dining experience. There were about 20 tables but only two filled. We would go there again as the food was good, but it’d have to be a better experience.

We visited this pub on our visit in 2016, for dinner, not very impressed then. We have recently visited Askrigg again and thought we would visit the pub as it has a good outdoor area as it is a sun trap. However, despite having good local ales, the local bar staff are not the most welcoming and engaging, quite sad and uninterested in visitors. The back restaurant is very dark and outdated and desperately needs a bright refurb. Food average. Sad really as Askrigg has 3 pubs so a great opportunity for mini pub crawls but I would not crawl to this one again in a hurry. Sorry folks.

Other then a very friendly and helpful waitress, it wasn’t a great experience. Was hoping for a nice meal to start off our break but there was little to no atmosphere and the main courses were very overcooked (pheasant and veggie filo dish.) Definitely not worth the money and would not recommend

Enjoyed our meal, lovely food and pleasant dining room. Service was great but as it was very quiet the evening we went not a lot of atmosphere

Oh dear, where to start... Just been for a meal at this pub/restaurant/rooms, having been there for a meal about 12 months ago. It was great on our first visit, but this time it was horrible. We were the only customers there at 6.30 on a Friday evening which should maybe have been a clue - we ordered from the very friendly and helpful waitress, two 'crispy' pork belly with black pudding, mash, cabbage and gravy, a salmon with crayfish and chive risotto, and the gammon steak with fried eggs, chips and peas. You can order in two sizes - regular and small - we all went regular. The food arrived promptly and first thoughts? How small were the 'small' portions if these were regular?! Oh well, we were really hungry so tucked in, which is when the real trouble started. The risotto rice (which was very, very white looking, no creaminess at all) was undercooked - not just a bit of bite, more of a crunch and snap. When we mentioned this to the waitress she took it back to the kitchen only to return with the message 'what do you want the chef to do'??! Seriously??!! Cook it properly! This didn't exactly inspire confidence in the chef, so veg was requested in place of the rice - the dish was then brought back with the same piece of salmon, some boiled carrots, broccoli and cold pickled red cabbage. Not exactly inspiring. The pork had had been stuffed with the black pudding, rolled and cooked - absolutely no crispness at all, with the soggy skin still on it. The mash was OK bar the odd large hard lump of potato, as was the minuscule amount of sauce. All a bit bland, under seasoned and lacking care. The gammon was the thinner, horseshoe shape found in the supermarket. Ok but not worth the gastro price.

Visited here for a carvery on Sunday. Initially we were concerned as we were the only customers but before long it had filled up - we must have been just slightly too early! Only one type of met available which was beef but this was not an issue as it was cooked to perfection; pink and tender. Veg served were red cabbage, parsnips, cauliflower cheese and mange tout with carrots. All of it was beautiful! A few customers did not want their meat so pink and the staff were more than happy to take their portion of beef and cook it further for them which was good to see.

Staying locally we again drove into Askrigg to try this pub this time.

Enjoyed a pleasant evening meal just before Christmas. Not very busy which was a shame as it lacked atmosphere, probably due to being a couple of days before Christmas. Anyway this didn't spoil the food which was very good, and good sized portions! The steak was good quality and cooked as I liked it. The lasagne was a half portion and came with chips and garlic bread! Proper Yorkshire portions at the White Rose!

My wife and I had dinner at this pub and really enjoyed the experience. Having booked some weeks in advance we received a warm welcome. The meals were good quality as were the staff. I had the Steak Pie and my wife chose the risotto.

We ate here last Saturday night. The pub was very busy which is always a good sign. We all enjoyed good pub food. The steak and ale pie was great as was the scampi and chips. We only had a main course as we were too full to fit in a pud!

We stayed here for bed and breakfast, we ate in this hotel the first night, we had a lovely meal well presented the food was very tasty they did do smaller portions if you wanted.

recommend this place and the Kings Arms. good food and friendly service. Bar is better at the Kings Arms but the White Rose meals were very good. If you have two nights at Askrigg, eat once at the White Rose.

Had dinner and breakfast at the White Rose and found all offerings to be more than adequate. Prompt pleasant service.

In the Dales for a week and at least one dinner at the White Rose was a must Sue (the...

The dining area is nicely laid out, comfortable and airy. Our waitress was a charming young lady from New Zealand, who looked after us well

We visited Askrigg recently and ate here twice with friends. Between us we tried a variety of dishes and most were a good size, certainly enough to not leave room for pudding. The steak special and the Barnsley chop special were both nice well cooked pieces of meat, the former coming with great chips. The gammon and eggs is a big plate full, and the pie is tasty with great pastry. The salmon risotto was another winner. The only dish that was a disappointment was the belly pork, it seemed a bit of a mean portion given the relatively inexpensive cut of meat.The pub serves a standard set of local beers, much like the other two pubs in the village.

Enjoyed our meals here two vegi meals and one pork with black pudding and while I'm not normally a black pudding fan it was very nice. . Good food and good service. Will definitely return

Pleasant dining room, and reasonable food, desserts are the best bit but the service is very varied. The landlady either doesn't notice, or doesn't care yet this could be the best in the village.

Nice hotel in a very pretty village, quite basic and would benefit from a bit of decorating as it looked "tired" however, the food was good so was the service. There is a good choice on the menu and there is a nice dining room.

We were staying in Askrigg so decided to have an evening meal at this pub/restaurant. Good pub food with small portions available at reasonable prices.

Lovely pub in the beautiful village of Askrigg. Food great, pleasant surroundings and a pretty beer garden.

Great service within range of menu choice - had salmon on a bed of crayfish risotto. Comfortable dining atmosphere. The bar was lively & noisy but luckily we were able to eat in the dining area is separate. There was a couple of round tables for larger groups like ours. Everyone agreed this was the best place to eat in Askrigg - good quality food & very reasonably priced.

We were a party of 6 on a walking weekend. We popped into the White Rose and got a table at short notice on a Friday evening. The food was fantastic. The ale pie got a big thumbs up, as did the creamed leak and blue cheese parcels, not to mention the salmon risotto. Flavoursome, high quality food. We all gave it ten out of ten. Lovely staff too.

They really bent over backwards to accommodate my friends and I at short notice. Lovely food, nice drop and darts and pool. Thanks

Great staff who fitted us in at very short notice for our evening meal. Lovely relaxed atmosphere, with great food and welcoming staff. Recommended

We thoroughly enjoyed our first meal here so went back during the week which is unusual for us as we like to try new places. Smiley staff and reasonable prices. Nice pub garden too.

The food at the White Rose was very good but the whole feel of the place is a bit old fashioned. The food was reasonable value for money and was well prepared and presented.

popped in on easter sunday ten pound for carvery meat was ok rest was not what i expect for a sunday dinner no choice cheese leeks cauliflour cheese carrots not for anyone who doesnt like cheese . also my two young daughters got a plate took one roastie one pudding few carrots charged me £7.00 each just to mention the chef who was really lovely gave us our portion of meat one pudding and two roasties loads of lovely places in dales if your walking carry on past this one

Called for lunch with the family, very accomodating and nice food, a little bit more expensive but worth it.Nice food and a nice pint.

We stopped here for lunch. Old fashioned interior but friendly staff and punters. Our food arrived swiftly and was of a good standard. I had fish and chips and my partner had scampi. Well cooked fish and pretty good chips. Apparently they pull a good pint too.

The pub over the road was fully booked so we ended up here. Had to dodge the darts to get into the pub then after asking for a table we were told by the landlady that we could have number 14 and she waved in a general direction. After we found our table we ordered and awaited our meal. The prawn cocktail was prawns on iceburg lettuce with sauce and 1 x cherry tomato on the side. My main was salmon with tomato risotto. The salmon was the cheap frozen kind that was very thin and the risotto was not cooked, still very chalky. I sent it back and was informed that I had to choose something else. I had lasagna that had no taste at all and I just left it. Shocking place to eat.

The worst meal I have had in at least 30 years. This place is so bad. Waited an hour for the venison, which was simply inedible. Lack of care from staff and disinterested owner. If you are reading this, do not go there.

We had intended going further up the road but decided to call in for a drink on the way. After having a couple of drinks and seeing and smelling some of the other diners food we decided to stay put and order here.Hubby had belly pork which was served with savoy cabbage and mashed potato , he requested chips instead, I ordered the pheasant off the specials board, we both agreed the food was immense, the waitress was also very good. By the time we left 8.30pm the bar area was quite busy. Definitely worse a return visit.

After a late minute booking and a rather stand offish landlady we had a fantastic meal, one of the best ever had and managed to warm to the landlady once she started interacting with us.

steak pie a must and the surroundings were lovely.nice restaurant feel for pub pricesaskrigg ale is also very nice and in this pub reasonably priced.

The landlady has a rather lukewarm way of greeting you but we had been warned about this so we took it as a challenge to get on her good side ! Once negotiating this and taking our seat in the restaurant her staff served us and the meal was good . Overall the food was good but the dining room was large and impersonal. You could eat in the hotel bar but again a large rectangular room , with. A huge TV.

We walked from Bainbridge on a lovely sunny day and we enjoyed a great pint and a half in the White Rose Hotel's beer garden. It was a lovely spot in the sun and would certainly head for it again, whenever visiting Askrigg and fancying a beer.

Visited late October, standard of food and service from waitress could not be faulted, but attitude of landlady slightly unwelcoming.

Four of us had an excellent meal at this nice old pub. They employ a chef, not a cook. Great, interesting menu, very pleasant waitress. I had chicken stuffed with haggis with a good serving of well-cooked veg - delicious.

It was ok but more 70s than the quaint pubs around the village, and Hawes. Lots of brasses! Did a gorgeous kids fish and hips -was jelous of daughters meal!

We were staying opposite at the King's Arms but felt it only fair that we sampled all the pubs in Askrigg so tottered across for a preprandial. Bit surprised to find the manager of one of the other pubs (I'll not say which 'cause he's a very nice guy and I wouldn't want to cause probs) having a relaxing drink at the bar. Perhaps not as much character as either the Crown or the King's Arms but a perfectly acceptable pub serving decent beer in a friendly and welcoming manner. That's all we ever hope for.

The food was well prepared and well served. Compliments to the Chefs and the waitresses.Such good value for money too...we had starters and main our first night in the restaurant, couldn't fit a pudding in.We went agin our 2nd night to eat again...and again fantastic cooked food and fantastic service from the 2 girls waiting on.

Dinner on first night very good with friendly service but very disappointing on the second night. Main course did not come up to standard .would think twice about going back.

Look this is actually a hard review to write. The surroundings and food were great, and I do genuinely feel for the landlady whose arthritic history I patiently sat through while waiting to pay the bill. Please, dear lady, consider focussing on the good things in life.

Had dinner here during our stay in Askrig. We hadn't booked but got a table. I had pate and homemade chutney ,it was exceptional... Followed by lamb,again great quality. My husband had soup and steak pie which was very enjoyable. Would recommend for dinner. They also had a tempting pudding list. Great service

My husband and I visited White Rose hotel on two occasions during our recent week long holiday in Wensleydale. We hadn't booked on either occasion and the staff on reception were not at all welcoming. Once they'd decided they could accommodate us they just pointed in the direction of the restaurant and told us what table number to sit at!Once we got into the restaurant the waiting staff were friendly (if a bit disorganised at times). The food was excellent and good value for money.When we asked if we could add a tip when paying by credit card, the young man behind the bar looked at us as if we'd got two heads!! The owner of the cottage we were staying in told us that they don't recommend the White Rose to their guests because of the unfriendly staff on reception. That's a shame because the food is very good.

Ok, so it's not the best I've ever had but certainly not the worst either. We went for dinner here because the Kings Arms were fully booked. Very odd atmosphere in here...it was quiet and quite eerie :/ The atmosphere wasn't helped by the fact that half way through our meal, the local darts league started playing a game of darts RIGHT next to where we were sitting...how rude! I did notice the dart board on the wall next to our table, but I never thought I'd be dodging darts whist trying to eat my dinner! We weren't sure if it was table service or not so we just walked in and sat at an empty table....after quite a few minutes of looking around and trying to spot a staff member, I ended up just going to the bar and asking if it was table service, "You order here" was the reply...er, ok I said, do you have a menu? And was handed two menus (quite begrudgingly I thought) I ordered two drinks and went back to my seat. My partner ordered the Steak pie (veg & chips) and I went for the Haddock (veg & chips) It seemed to take an age to arrive, so long that both our drinks were finished! My fish was dry, not very fresh and was dripping in grease. The chips were also over done and swimming in grease. My partner said the steak pie was so-so but the meat & gravy inside tasted quite processed and a bit like canned stew and had the same issue with the chips as me obviously. So that was that really :) Wouldn't go back but don't suppose they'd care. On a lighter note, we did go to the Kings Arms the following night and it was fabulous ;) I just did a review on that. So, thanks for reading my wee rant and hope you've found it helpful :) If you did, please hit the thumbs up button. Ta x

Ok, so it's not the best I've ever had but certainly not the worst either. We went for dinner here because the Kings Arms were fully booked. Very odd atmosphere in here...it was quiet and quite eerie :/ The atmosphere wasn't helped by the fact that half way through our meal, the local darts league started playing a game of darts RIGHT next to where we were sitting...how rude! I did notice the dart board on the wall next to our table, but I never thought I'd be dodging darts whist trying to eat my dinner! We weren't sure if it was table service or not so we just walked in and sat at an empty table....after quite a few minutes of looking around and trying to spot a staff member, I ended up just going to the bar and asking if it was table service, "You order here" was the reply...er, ok I said, do you have a menu? And was handed two menus (quite begrudgingly I thought) I ordered two drinks and went back to my seat. My partner ordered the Steak pie (veg & chips) and I went for the Haddock (veg & chips) It seemed to take an age to arrive, so long that both our drinks were finished!

A pleasant meal at this hotel. We booked on the day. Restaurant is quite small but the food provided was of a reasonably good standard and the service was very good - would return if back in Askrigg. A small wine list of reasonable variety. Price for 2 adults of 2 courses plus wine was under £40 so good value.

Stopped off for a meal here, wasn't disappointed. Excellent choice & service. Reasonably priced. I had steak and ale pie, wife had lasagne both choices really really good. Can't fault it.
