Slaters Arms in Craven

On a canal boat holiday. We normally eat out in the evening, but many pubs/Restaurants had closed.due to the pandemic. Found this little hidden gem and although a fair walk from the canal mooring it was worth the walk. Booked in at 6.00pm and were surprised that it was quite busy and remained so for the rest of the evening. The food was lovely, but from a limited menu, e.g. no steaks! We were joined on the boat by my son and partner and thankfully they allowed my son to park his car in their car park for the day - they joined us in the evening meal. All in all a lovely pub, lovely food and pleasant atmosphere.One slight negative was they could have been more attentive between courses, indeed, I had to eventually ask for the dessert board - apparently forgotten!

Four family members went for lunch 22/5/21, steak/mushroom pie, steak/kidney pie and ham and eggs were all well received and enjoyed. Real ale selection included one of my favourites, Boltmaker. We booked a table indoors, which is advisable, for me this was, with all the restrictions we've had and my own health issues, a real step towards normality. On good weather days there seemed to be increased seating outside. We certainly recommend and will be back.Hugh, Skipton

We visited here twice last weekend. They allowed us to park whilst we walked the canal. On returning the beer was that good we returned the next night for a meal outside which was absolutely superb. Pate starter highly recommended. Very friendly staff and superb views. Well worth the detour up the hill!!

Very enjoyable evening meal. The Ham, Egg and Chips to be recommended and one of the best Sticky Toffee Puddings ever. Landlord and staff friendly.

We discovered the Slater's Arms when staying in nearby Kildwick in spring of last year.It was a family gathering and we all enjoyed the brilliant home cooked food. We returned today hoping that, despite the Covid 19 situation, nothing had changed. We were right!! The steak and kidney pie was excellent as was the treacle sponge. The friendly service was all you could have hoped for. We traveled from Manchester and it was definitely worth the trip - will return soon.Geoff & Eileen Keeling

Better half and myself visited today 29/7/20 for lunch, the food was as good as ever, the pub was fairly quiet, with it being mid week and the virus distancing, this wasn't surprising. It was nice to sit and enjoy a pint of Taylor's Landlord, we'll certainly be back.Hugh, Skipton

Nous avons dîner trois fois dans ce pub pendant les quelques jours que nous avons passés dans la région. Ce pub a conservé sa vocation de point de rencontre pour les habitants du coin et le week-end il y a beaucoup de monde. Dans une ambiance chaleureuse renforcée par la décoration et la cheminée, le pub sert une cuisine roborative agréable. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié l'agneau et sa sauce à la menthe. Le service est sympathique.

Staying in cottage in the village with family, had an excellent evening meal and pint. Staff and locals really friendly and welcoming. Food was excellent quality and delicious. Would definitely go back.

Appena entrati ci hanno risposto in maniera scortese. Locale vuoto e non ci ha permesso di stare tutto insieme in un tavolo, ha detto che per forza dovevamo stare in 2 tavoli separati.

Excellent... Food faultless gang of 7 men we was well looked after. Beer top class as well. Friendly staff

Excellent service Good food Good beer Pleasant atmosphere The staff are very friendly Reasonably priced

We called in yesterday on a wet and windy day, the bar had a warming fire in the lovely inglenook fireplace, the tables were filling up and we were lucky to get a table as we hadn't booked in advance! We got our drinks and then after perusing the specials boards decided I would have the two course Sunday deal and my husband just wanted to try the pies that were on offer, he had Steak and Kidney with three veg and chips and I had the Steak and Mushroom with the same accompaniments. After having asked for a rest before ordering the pudding on my deal I opted for the hot chocolate fudge cake with ice cream and chocolate sauce (delicious it was) so much so that my husband had to help me out :-) .We had another drink and settled our bill with at a reasonable £39 ish for what we had was a good deal. I would just like to say and I wouldn't advise people to drink irresponsibly but at £5.45 for a large red wine it might have been advisable to ask me if I would have preferred to buy the bottle first?

100% would recommend for both food and great beer. Staff are very welcoming. Lovely little pub. And very good value for money. Great food came in big portions and hot.

How lucky are we to have this pub as our local. Spent a lovely evening with our friends enjoying excellent food drink and service. Thank you Neil and Natalie

We have been to the Slaters a few times and it has been quite good. This time was poor. The steak and kidney pie was over seasoned, the steak and onion pie pastry was undercooked and the veg was mushy. The beer was ok. Worst of all was the sullen lady behind the bar. She was definitely not welcoming. And the whole place could do with a good clean. Not sure we will be back especially when there are better places around.

Nice local pub selling good food. The steak and kidney pie was simply outstanding. The best pie I have had in years. The beer is very good as well.

Visited today with friends and had the roast beef Sunday lunch, everything tasted amazing and everyone cleared their plates. We all then had dessert, to say it was a generous portion is an understatement. I had the sticky toffee pudding and custard, one of the best I have tasted. Wonderful pub and staff, lovely atmosphere and amazing food we will definitely be back.

We stopped by one sunny afternoon for a coke and pudding. The atmosphere and service were excellent. We chose to sit outside, and the outdoor furniture was much more comfortable than the unsual benches. My husband said his pudding was excellent, but I'm afraid my chocolate fudge pudding was just the better side of awful - not only not fudgy, but very dry. Hence a 4, instead of the 5 it wold otherwise have received. But I'd be happy to try again and order something else.

A lovely setting, really cosy and traditional inside. Pleasant staff. A good selection of food, locally sourced. My husband had the prawn and lobster burger and I had the roast beef dinner - both were lovely. The burger didn’t look much but my husband said it was delicious. Could really spend an evening in here :-)

We recently visited this lovely pub with some friends for the evening and we had an amazing meal there and met the landlord is very friendly would definitely visit it again soon.

Six of us ate outside on the patio area, big tables with umbrellas for shade. This traditional pub has a very relaxed, friendly atmosphere, very clean and well presented. Good choice of food for all the family and we enjoyed our meals - good portion sizes and value for money.

Friendly staff and good quality beers on tap. Varied menu with plenty of choice for all ages and tastes. The beer garden is lovely.

We booked a table for 6.30 and were glad we did as it was very busy.

Great atmosphere and great food. Bit of a walk from canal but well worth it. Will be using it again next year.

We had a lovely meal and could not fault it until the dessert. Pleased to see my favourite on the menu - Crumble - any flavour with custard of course - Unfortunately whilst it was not an unpleasant taste it wasn't crumble rather a soggy pancake - Sorry but it was a let down. Looking at the other desserts - I should have gone for the Bakewell tart which looked delicious

Historically have eaten here a few times each year and never been disappointed. This time the roast beef Sunday lunch was of very poor quality. Beef seemed like pre cooked and sliced warmed up beef, chewy and tasteless. Vegetables overcooked, and tinned peas? Yorkshire pudding was heavy and lumpy. No evidence of owners present whilst we were there.

This pub has a great warm welcoming atmosphere full of character and charm. The food was home cooked, very tasty and hearty (delicious and large portions in plain English). It was recommended to us by the farmer we stayed with. A great find!

Visited on Sunday 28/1/2018. Very relaxed atmosphere. Had the Surf and Turf and my mum and wife had the liver. As usual the service was top notch and the food was delicious. Only problem we ever have is that we eat too much because it so nice.

Our first visit since changing owners - pleased to say that the quality of food remains at the same high standard - my only slight disappointment was that my favourite item wasn't available (still on the menu)- never happened before so I have marked it as a 4 and not 5.

This establishment is located in the village of Bradley and well worth dropping in for lunch or dinner. The food is very good and the atmosphere as it should be in a classic pub.

Had lovely meal with wife on Tuesday evening (10% off for booking table in advance which on arrival at 6pm there were no diners in sight lol). Shame found a shard of plate in my pie. Luckily i caught it on my tooth rather than swallowed in one mouthful. Waitress was apologetic and offered replacement but thought a refund or free drink immediately should have been made(as well as reassurance that steps were taken to check other dishes). Hopefully just a one off but I'm trying to fathom how a 1-2cm plate fragment got into pie mixture without being seen. As was Halloween and on paying bill got a little busy at bar was reluctant to push more directly for action especially as out 1yr old had exhausted the both of us and we just wanted to get back to our holiday cottage 1/2 mile away and go to bed.

We visited on a Wednesday lunch time to a warm and friendly reception. There was plenty to chose from on the menu , or the specials "pie" board as well as a specials board. We had the steak and onion pie which came with three veg and choice of chips or new potatoes and a delicious gravy. The service was quick and friendly . The portions were ample but we managed to squeeze in a selection from the desserts menu. The whole experience was one that we will definitely repeat again .

We parked the canal boat nearby and walked the 10 minutes to the pub. The place had a cosy feel...

Dos amigos estaban "locales" y conocido en este pub, así que cuando los cinco fueron tomadas allí, el ambiente era bastante agradable. Todos tuvimos el almuerzo y un buen menú. Atún, Ensalada de Mariscos, liberar sopa, gran variedad de sandwiches y todos nosotros comentábamos lo...

Hicimos el paseo al lado del canal de Leeds liverpool para visitar el pub los domingos por la noche y nos quedamos encantados de encontrar tan completo. Muchos bebedores y diners, que es una recomendación en sí mismo. Perros, gente agradable, bien cuidado de cerveza y buena comida, sin duda vale la pena una visita!

Bonito jardín soleado bar y pub tradicional. Feria de comida regular, nada especial. No volvería para una ocasión especial, pero iría si algo de hambre y ganas de comer rápido. Solía ser muy bueno para bien, aunque no han sido por años.

Almorcé hoy. Sábado en el amplio jardín de la cerveza. Todo fue excepcional. El pub estaba lleno y era bonito ver a una empresa local haciendo tan bien :-).

We decided to visit the Slaters after a long gap since our last visit. I went on their website to check eating times and noticed that the previous patrons had retired and new owners had taken over. Well we needn't have worried as there is still a warm friendly greeting by the new owners Neil and Natalie. No change of chef and the food was delicious as always. The pub was very busy with diners and the beer garden had lots of al fresco diners also. We just wish we lived closer.

Nice pleasant traditional pub with lots of character and usually with an open fire. We have always found the food good and portions generous. I don't have a big appetite at lunchtimes and often have the sea food platter with is good. The rest of our group always have the NORMAL size.

Traditional pub good selection menu with home cooked food very tasty . welcome pets only in one area of pub but that's good as they are not allowed eating area but you can take them in beer garden. lovely view from beer garden

Being the first visit to the Slaters Arms after the recent take over, I was not sure what we were going to experience. However, I can quite honestly say, the establishment is in very safe hands: with the cosy, traditional décor and atmosphere, Neil and Natalie were fantastic hosts. On entry, we were greeted with a friendly and efficient service. Having a young child in toe, Neil accommodated his fussy dietary requirements and we were served with food of epic size and quality. After we ate, we decided to have a few drinks by the wood burner. The atmosphere created by the hosts was homely. If you are looking for a traditional pub, with high quality home cooked food, the Slater Arms is a must. Thank you Neil and Natalie

Family of 7 booked for 12.30, food arrived at 12.45. We had finished our main course but not our drinks and no one wanted dessert so we were asked at 1.40 to vacate our table as there were people waiting for their booking. If we had had starters and desserts, we would have been much longer or rushed. Not as welcoming as the previous landlords. Won't be visiting again.

Great food, lovely hosts, can't beat it for a local hostelry.Our new hosts are very welcoming and friendly towards pets (obviously meal times excluded but there is always the option of the delightful garden)

The Slaters has recently changed hands and we were afraid it would not be as good. However we need not have worried the new hosts were very welcoming and the food was as good as ever. Being older we never want huge portions and find the ample starters just right for lunch. We will certainly visit again.

good local pub just outside skipton. range of beers on tap. all food is cooked on site and is very tasty. very good value. had a great evening with a friend.

Due to our oil fired stove developing a fault which meant we had no heating, hot water or ability to make hot food, our "emergency" required us to go out and eat this week. On our second night in this dilemma after a bit of head scratching I remember that I had read a while ago that The Slaters Arms had received good reports about its food so I suggested we drive round there from Cononley and try it. What a first class decision that was! It was a balmy September evening and there were people sat outside enjoying the late summer/early autumn warmth. When we arrived there were a few people eating but it filled up soon after. The standard menu is perfectly acceptable but the specials were varied and interesting also. The food was excellent, reasonably priced, obviously freshly made and served in comfortable surroundings of a typical village pub by very pleasant staff. It is genuinely a lovely place to eat and have a drink. For us, it would be difficult to find fault so I won't because there wasn't any. We will add this pub to the list of places to visit regularly in future. It is many years since I was last in this pub and it is where we used to go after winning at cricket over the village team. For anyone in the village reading this I played for a very successful Thornton-in-Craven in the mid 70's.If you need to genuinely good a reliable place to eat then choose The Slaters Arms at Bradley, you will not be disappointed.

Always had nice food here hot fresh and nice service nice setting as well highly recommed the Sunday lunch is spot on

I had lunch there on Saturday and although the service and staff were really great the food was really awful. It could have been just an off day as I have heard that the food is usually very good. Shame because that one meal has put me off going back.

The owners are soon to leave but we had an amazing Sunday lunch and an evening meal, delicious and great value. Memorabilia is incredible

I phoned the Slaters Arms in Yorkshire to try and arrange a little surprise for my Dad's 70th Birthday Lunch which he was due to have along his way with Airedale Barge cruise which stops at the Slatters Arms. I live in New Zealand and could not be with my Dad for his Birthday. Phil, the Slaters Arms owner took it all under his wing and said no problem and arranged for special attention (See Photo below) for my Dad, Arthur. My dad had a wonderful time and advised the pub atmosphere was awesome and the food and service at the Slater's Arms was excellent and highly recommends a visit for lunch or dinner. Thanks Phil for making it all happen to create a special day on my Dad's 70th and taking on a special request all the way from New Zealand!

Great drinks and a lovely landlord. Didn't eat but from what I saw the food did look delicious and fair price wise

TheSlaters Arms had been recommended to us by friends and we were not disappointed. The food was very good and ample sized portions. The beer garden looked tempting but unfortunately the weather was not good enough to sit out maybe next time as we will certainly be returning.

It's a while since we have visited in the evening for a meal. The menu is varied, there are specials on the boards and despite the fact it was busy the service and attention were superb. I chose goujons of haddock for starters which I shared with my better half. They were excellent. I followed this with a piping hot seafood linguine and my wife had the poached salmon. Both were very tasty. The food was not expensive and the atmosphere was as we have come to expect. We will definitely return more often as a result.

Visited here several times .A great little village pub serving great home cooked food and nice wines and beers .nice set Sunday lunches great too ,well worth a visit booking is advisable.

Best pint of Landlord in 20 years said the other half!!!! Also ate at the Slaters Arms, Bradley food was lovely scampi fab and the hot beef and gravy baguette bang on!!!!

The slaters arms is a olde world pub restaurant with oak beams and a roaring fire hidden away in a village setting there are also lots of artefacts places around and on the oak beams it is disable friendly with a big car park to the rear and easy access the menu is only small but is made up for with the quality the staff are friendly with out been over the top there is a good choice of beers wines and spirits the food was piping hot and plenty of it I will deffinetly go again ideal for a romantic meal

In my wasted youth some 50 years ago it was a favourite watering hole. We revisited it for Sunday lunch and had I had some lovely tender roast beef with delicious veg. My wife's Stake and Mushroom pie had a proper pastry crust and we washed it down the well kept bright and fresh Taylor's golden best. I had room for Sticky Toffee Pudding - homemade and in a sea of custard and sauce. The landlord and is wife give every one a warm welcome and it appears to have a strong regular and local trade. It has welcoming fire and a large south facing outdoor area with great views over the Aire valley. The only down side is it takes a bit of finding in the village but persistence pays of!

Called in with some friends - good welcome great atmosphere First rate pub food, tasty and plentiful

We love coming here, rang and booked a table today as they were having a charity event. We chose from the Christmas menu the guys had the broccoli and stilton soup for starters, two had the Turkey and all the trimmings, my husband had the steak and kidney pie and I had oven baked haddock and salmon with prawns in lemon oil with home made chips and veg OMG amazing. We ladies had the sticky toffee pudding lush. There is always a warm welcome from the hosts and staff and has an amazing beer garden. Wished we lived closer, would love it to be our local!

This is the second time I have been here on a cycling club xmas lunch and both times the service has been spot on and the welcome is so friendly & helpful. Big helpings of food - and the lightest Lemon Meringue pud I have had for ages. You are not kept waiting long to be served - even though we were a big group. Lovely open fires in a traditional pub. Smashing -all you could ask for on a wet, chilly December day

The food here is always brilliant. The landlord and landlady are such great hosts and always make you welcome. The staff work hard to ensure you have a great meal. Portions are more than generous. Definitely one to try of you are in the area, you won't be disappointed. The hot beef baguettes. Should be a house speciality.

My wife & I along with 2 friends,arrived at The Masons for lunch.Philip, landlord,greeted us warmly & Rosemary helped us to our table.The choice on the menu wasvaried, Quite a remarkable amount of food was served,& the Quality matched thequantity.Cannot recommend The Masons more highly.

Took my family for Sunday lunch a few weeks ago and just got round to writing this review. We visited the pub late on Sunday afternoon and lunch was still being served. Very friendly welcome from the landlord. We had two courses for £11.99. This was choice of starters soup or pate plus main course of roast or home made pie. The food was very good with generous portions of both courses and a very reasonably priced bottle of wine. All combined to make a very pleasant lunch and I would certainly recommend a visit.

My wife and I visit this wonderful gem about once or twice a month. We take various family and friends who maybe due to transport would not visit somewhere a little remote.We are always totally impressed by not only the high quality food on offer but having a chat with Phil about wines and how to get the most out of a gin and tonic really is a pleasure to expand your knowledge and pass on his tips to others while pretending you just know this stuff through experience.

We booked a seven o'clock table for 9 on a Friday night, 2 families, 4 adults and 5 teenagers (ish). Had a lovely night. Proper pub food, lovely waitress, landlord and lady. Nice local pub with lovely atmosphere. We were catching up with old friends who walk there regularly. It was a perfect night. Starters, mains and puds. Our 9 year old ate more tonight than he normally eats in a week. Between us all we tried everything from battered mushrooms to goats cheese lasagne. Great value. Can't wait to go again. Great family night.

Booked last minute as we were in the area on holiday and were not disappointed. As a family of 2 adults and 2 children (1 year and 5 years) we were made to feel extremely welcome from the minute we arrived. The pub does not have a highchair as the eating area is quite small, but we took our own highchair and this was not a problem. The food - quite simply one of the best pub meals we have ever had. I can recommend the Cajun chicken and the Thai red curry (special) and my son recommends the chicken nuggets and chips! The deserts were to die for too!The whole experience was helped by the warm welcome from Phil the landlord and the friendly relaxed atmosphere of the establishment.

Table of 10 including high chair on Sunday afternoon the 4th October, everyone enjoyed their meal, friendly staff, great food, relaxed atmosphere at sensible prices, will definitely visit again. Go early to ensure you have time to visit the boutique shops on site, which went to make a very pleasant afternoon.

We went to the slater's arms in Bradley on a quiet Thursday for a regular meal out with work colleagues. We ordered steaks all round done medium/rare or rare. When these came out they were all very well done with two of them smelling very bad. When we complained the young waitress was sent to apologise with no sign of a manager or chef, they did knock the price of one of the meals off the bill but with very little in the way of an apology. All in all, very dissapointed, we should have stuck to the Bay Horse in Skipton instead!

We called when we was on the Leeds/Liverpool canal, excellent and friendly pub with great service, fantastic beers. Could not find brilliant bar staff in Phil and Rosemary. Was not serving food, but we could order in pizza and eat in the pub

This is a typical country village pub and being the only pub in the village appears to have a very cliquish regular clientèle. Our friends had booked a table for the four of us, I would advise booking at weekends. The landlord and his staff were welcoming but an occasional smile would not have gone a miss. The food was only average, this restaurant / pub is not at the top of my list of must re-visit places.

Have visited the Slaters on many occasions, both for lunch and dinner.We enjoy large tasty starters, especially the pate and the home made soups. This evening I had the best s and k pie ever. There was lots of tender meat and ample kidney, topped with a lovely light pastry. This was served with cabbage, carrots and new potatoes. My partner had the roast beef. We were too full for desert but saw other people with tempting plates of pudding etc.The Slaters is a friendly village pub with a comfortable ambience and friendly atmosphere. The landlord and his wife always have time for a word and always receive constructive feedback gladly.In Winter there is a fabulous real open fire to warm you on a cold Winter's day.

Very lucky to get a table as it was a last minute decision to go out. The landlord was very friendly and so was the girl who served us. There was plenty of choice on the menu and also a special board. The meal was excellent I had whitebait, followed by braising steak and then one of the best lemon meringue pie I've ever had. My husband had mussels followed by hake and finished off with crumble. We thought it was very realistically priced. Will defiantly return for another meal but book in plenty of time to guarantee getting a table.

This village pub situated in the village of Bradley near Skipton and is well presented and appears to be very popular with locals and visitors alike.The landlord and his wife are friendly and the food served is of an average pub standard.Tables need to be booked in advance due to limited seating space.I recommend this establishment for a one of visit when in the locality of the Dales.

This country pub is a place we love to visit. Only small but with a very welcoming atmosphere. Phil and Rosemary are very friendly and the menu is varied with large portions and well cooked. Nothing is too much trouble.

I popped in this lunchtime after a nice sunny walk from Skipton down the canal. The pub is tucked away on the south side of town past the cricket club in a delightful spot with lovely views from the immaculate and well presented beer garden. I had a nice lunch of omelette, chips and side salad, washed down with a soft drink and then a well kept pint of Golden Best, there was a good selection of food available. The owners were also chatty and friendly and the place had a good few in enjoying food, I was made to feel welcome by other locals too.The pub has a great timeless feel to it, very cosy and friendly and I will be back again for an evening meal with the family.andyhaley67@mail.com

The Slaters Arms in Low Bradley nr Keighley is an 18th Century inn. Wonderful and warm reception from "mine hosts". Cosy bar and restaurant with inglenook fireplace. The pub is decorated with jugs, tankards, foreign currency notes and even policemens' helmets! Excellently kept real ales as well as the normal keg beers. The food is beautifully prepared home-made dishes of immense proportions. Be careful of what you wish for - our starter was so huge that we could not eat all of our main course!!The pub is only 3 miles east of Skipton in the village of Low Bradley. If arriving on the canal cross the swing bridge, walk up Ings Lane and turn right at first street on right and the pub will come into sight just after you run out of breath! Well worth the walk up the hill. One of the best local pubs we have ever visited.

Whilst on a canal boat holiday, a 10 minute stroll from the tow path took us to this welcoming local in the village of Low Bradley. As we had our dog with us, we were shown to the back bar which was fine and comfortable. The landlord and staff were very attentive and we were quickly served with our choice of the day's roast beef. We could just about manage a pudding from a list of what may have been home made options. The overall food quality was very good and the service excellent. Strongly recommended for a Sunday meal.

By chance, we were there for the first time 8 years ago. We fell in love with the fish & chips. Fresh fish, not greasy batter and crunchy chunky chips. Then we again revisited it few times while we were living in Skipton. We still liked the food every time we were there. We had tried out different dishes, each of them was thumb up. Recently, we back to the Yorkshire for holiday and Slater Arms still did not let us down. Tasty pub food at reasonable price and generous portion. If you like Bitter or Ale, they do have good offer too. Slater Arms has a cosy fireplace for the winter and nice sitting area outside for the summer. Children are welcomed there, unlike some of the other pubs. Thus, I would be very happy to recommend to anyone who is especially looking for good tasty food. Of course we are definitely go there again when we are next time in the area.

The Slaters never fails to produce an excellent pint and food. Portions are very generous - surf and turf highly recommended

This was a super bar meal. The starters were good quality with excellent portions. So often when you order black pudding as a starter it arrives in tiny crumbs - this was three really good slices in a great mustard sauce. The other starters were equally good. Main courses; we had steak, fish and two pies (including the veggie option). All were very good, no complaints at all. Couldn't manage the sweets as were so full after two courses. Also had a bottle of wine which was reasonably priced. Would definitely go back if we are in the area. If you are in Skipton it is worth the three mile trip up to Bradley for this pub.

We meet our old friends on a regular basis and it was suggested by one of our friends that we try Slaters Arms in Bradley Nr Skipton. We met for lunch, our party is eight people and we were all made to feel very welcome, with a roaring fire helping the ambience. The pub was quiet on arrival and we were shown to our table, the menu is quite extensive and after due consideration we chose our mains. Three of us has lobster thermadore, excellet choice two had the Christmas lunch, one game pie , one lamb Henry, and one haddock mornay, without exception everybody really enjoyed their choices, it is reasonable prices and good qualtities of food are served. We had Christmas pub to finish, opne had sticky toffee, portion size did for two. Excellent value we have booked again for early February

Very good again.lamb Henry as good as it was 4 years ago. Only let down by initial frosty request if children are welcome? But bar staf made us welcome, thanks

We happened upon this pub when we moored our canal boat up for the night on the nearby Leeds and Liverpool Canal - it's in easy walking distance. We enjoyed our meal there and the people (owners and other diners) were so friendly that we went there again on our way back. The food is a step up from the usual pub fare, and the portions are generous. I ate off the specials board both times. It's a typical country pub, with a varied range of ephemera decorating its walls and beams, including several old telephones. We'll definitely eat there again when we're back in the area.

Went to Yorkshire to watch The Tour de France with a mate and my son.We fell upon The Slaters by accident, it was definitely a lucky find.Originally intended staying in the area for 1 night. Ended up being based there for 3 days as it was too good to leave!They looked after us reet proper!Good food, beer, and service, even managed to sort out some sunshine.Big thanks to Phil, Rosemary, and all the staff.Hope to call in again one day.

I have eaten here many times and each time I have felt unwelcome. However I continue to go as the food is so good! The owners seem to appreciate a certain type of customer and appear cold and miserable with those who don't own a jaguar. In all the times I have been the lady has never been pleasant to me or the people I have been with. In fact I think she goes out of her way to be blunt and is borderline rude. I definitely don't think they like children there. If you're 50-75 with plenty money and an expensive car you're made very welcome, if you aren't the above then you aren't.

We have been back here several times. Very good food, great value and a good drinks selection, super service with a warm and friendly atmosphere have placed this at the top of our country Pubs list. The food menu changes on a regular basis, with daily fresh specials, well cooked and well presented. Several cask ales and a good selection of wines. Friendly owners and the place draws a lively crowd. Will definitely return again.

I really wish I didn't have to write this, having eaten and drunk well at the Slaters' in the not too distant past; and this incident may well be just a one-off. I hope so. But given that I wrote and complained about the poor meal over a month ago and wasn't even granted an acknowledgement, let alone any reaction, I'm putting the letter on here and you can judge for yourselves. If the proprietor feels that the best way to deal with complaints, whether or not he feels them justified, is to ignore them completely then he shouldn't be in the trade.Anyhow, here's the letter. I'll leave it to you to decide:12 December 2103 Dear Mr CookMy friend ***** and I ate dinner last night at The Slaters. We’ve eaten there several times before and we confidently booked for his visit remembering the very good food, beer, service and banter that we’d had previously.Not, I’m afraid, last night.The Landlord that I bought was slightly cloudy and tasted slightly flat, I’m afraid, though my friend’s Golden Best was perfect. But that’s really a by the by. We both ordered the sea bass. What we got was two small thin very dry pieces of plain fish (mine had slight crisping round the edges) (and should there have been a sauce?), some vegetables seemingly dumped at random on to the plate (and I like my veggies served separately) and chips which frankly tasted of old chip fat.What we had was edible – we ate it, but with no enjoyment at all. Had the waitress done what normally drives me mad and come to ask us if all was well, we would immediately have said no; but she had disappeared, and I didn’t want to get up and make a fuss at the counter. Had YOU been there, I might have. Actually I WOULD have, because I can trust you to do the right thing." (as I thought!)"Our experience last night was utterly unlike all the good meals we’ve had with you before. Have you a new chef? Was he slapdash in your absence BECAUSE of your absence? One thing I’m certain of is that if you had been there, we would not have been given the meal in the condition it was.I wouldn’t necessarily be writing this letter of complaint at all, if not for the fact that I like the Slaters’ enough to want to come back, have a beer or two, enjoy the banter, and eat with you again. I realise this letter may, however, make it impossible for that to happen. But you, at least, as the manager, deserve to be told the facts so that it doesn’t happen again, because last night was bad for your business.Anyway, I’d be pleased to learn your views. The receipt for our meal and drinks is attached.Best regards "To which as a response? Nary a peep. So I shan't be going there again. You only get one shot at being damn rude to me and that was it.

Great food, good prices, beer is good but a tad pricey. We have never managed to finish a starter and main, never mind sniff the dessert menu - portions are splendid!!

I'd not been to the Slater's Arms for some time. It was as good as I remembered.We went after a long walk. We were looking for a warm pub with friendly staff, a log fire & good food & beer. And we found it at the Slater's Arms.Lunch was hot sandwiches, just perfect, with real beer, sat by a log fire.The menu looked good, so we'll be back.This pub ticks all the boxes for what most of us want in a country pub.Highly recommended.

This is pub grub at its best: unpretentious and excellently cooked with generous portions. I had a T-bone steak, medium rare and tender. The "specials" board had an excellent choice. The number of tables is only about 6, so be prepared to book.

A charming and welcoming atmosphere yummy food plentiful good value for your money lovely owners and staff await your visit you won't be disappointed

A fantastic traditional pub. Very comfortable, atmospheric and traditional, so hard to find these days.A very warm welcome, good food, plenty of variety, competitevly priced. Standard menu plus specials.The beer garden would be idyllic on a warm day because of the views.Plenty of car parking spaces.Booking is advisable.Enjoy.

We stopped at the Slater's Arms for lunch after a walk and decided to sit in the fantastic beer garden at the back, which has wonderful views. There is a good array of tables with umbrellas, so plenty of shade should you prefer it. We ordered sandwiches which came with a plentiful side salad and homemade chips. The chips were proper homemade and the best we have had for a long time. The sandwiches had plenty of filling and all in all good value for money. Not a crumb was left. They have a good selection of beers and the interior of the pub looked really cosy. There were a few things on the menu that looked tempting. We shall be making a return trip. Well worth a visit.

Great place to eat and drink, great landlord and landlady Phil & Rosemary. Good pub food service with a smile large portions. Full menu plus specials which are changed regular . Great Sunday lunch. Lovely bear garden with fantastic views. Large car park.

Wow! I am not usually wowed by pub food - but this place goes waaay beyond your usual pub grub.It's a deceptively small place, and it looks much bigger from the outside, but where they lack the size inside, they make up for it in portion sizes! Jeepers! I had to go home and sleep for the afternoon after eating here! lol!My husband had steak, and I had a suet pudding, and they were both absolutely beautiful, really very tasty and well prepared.We had the cheesecake for dessert, and no-word-of-a-lie, it is THE BEST cheesecake I have ever tasted in my entire life. It was lip-smacking good!I would highly recommend a visit here. It is in a beautiful setting with lovely views, and the food is to die for. You may need to book ahead as it is a popular place, but it is worth it. And honestly - don't miss the cheesecake!
