This place is looking run down now, the drinks are cheap, it benefits from easy parking. The pub has a pool table and it's a large area with different places to sit. Have never had food here.

Interesting pub that offers stop overs if you drink in pub which is fair enough. Two ales on along with regular selection of other drinks. Plenty of space inside and out and good large flat carpark. About a 10 minute walk into Ripon which is pleasant. Has a pool table and service is friendly. Reasonably priced. Wasn’t doing good when we went and I suspect it’s in between leaseholders. Entertainment in the weekend.. laid back little stop over. 🍻 🎱 🚐 🕺🏼🎹🎤

Went to SL for the carvery. Food was reasonable. All hot. Carvery serving area was a bit haphazard, folks having to back up along the line to let others out. Music was awful. This was not suitable background music for Sunday lunch. It sounded like a play list from a Zumba teacher. After finishing my meal, I couldn't wait to get out.

Visited South Lodge for dinner & to see a rock covers band. They are on the main Harrogate - Ripon road & have a large free car park. There wasn't even one hot veggie option on the menu, but when I enquired I was told that I could order a veggie burger with any of the other available burger options/sauces. The staff were top notch - especially when they ran out of onion rings, which was part of my order, & I was asked if I wanted to swap to anything else or receive a refund. We had a top evening & the band were fab. I'd go back but probably not for food.

I should explain this is my local so I am mightily relieved. Last visit last Friday with a chum. Very well-kept and delicious beers, changed regularly (one Blonde and one a darker brew is the plan)Good selection of quality pub food too.

The selection of meat was good... cooked just right.. The selection of veg was very good & was cooked just right..

Shame about the roast potatoes...
