We went for a Sunday lunch and ate in the bar area. It's a lovely traditional pub area - we loved the atmosphere, the staff were friendly and attentive and the food was delicious. I would recommend the Ox Cheek - the most tender I've ever eaten and the desert was delicious too. Would highly recommend!

We visited this pocket of heaven today to celebrate 40 years of being together. We had a superb meal ... absolutely perfect in every respect! Wonderful staff, a very warm welcome, excellent service and the food was outstanding. We both enjoyed the Ox Cheeks with creamy mash and buttered leeks ...mmmmm!! Thank you so much for making our visit so special and memorable.

The food was delicious, I had the Venison and the summer pudding to follow with a nice glass of wine. Credit to the chef for not only how the food tasted but for the presentation too. The staff are really friendly and take pride in what they do, the restaurant is set in the beautiful countryside in Nidderdale. Well worth a visit.

Booked for family Sunday lunch. Meal was lovely, staff very accommodating and friendly. Dog friendly in the bar area too was great too given it was a really sunny day. Surrounding gardens are really pleasant too. Liked it so much, came back the following Weds evening. Food and service just as good. Recommended!!

We had lunch here last weekend and it was simply phenomenal. Obviously it is a beautiful looking establishment in a beautiful location, but the food and experience absolutely matches that. I had a leek, courgette and wild garlic soup with crumbled goats cheese from the specials menu, and it came with three different types of home made bread. I opted for another special which was lots of cold cuts of perfectly medium rare beef with chunky chips and lots of different types of home made pickles. It was delicious. My partner had their ploughmans and we shared everything. I was licking my lips at the end. What a shame we live 4 hours away or I would be there every week.

Another excellent visit to one of my favourite restaurants, which never disappoints. The dining area in the pub is warm,cosy & inviting with a real fire roaring away which is a delight on a winter's day. Service is friendly & attentive. Food is good quality & wonderful, delivering a feast of deliciousness that we all enjoyed. I can't recommend this pub/restaurant enough even though it's an hours drive for us, I still can't wait for my next visit.

We were staying in the area with family and booked for Sunday lunch. There were nine of us and we were fortunate enough to get a private room. The staff were lovely, friendly& knowledgeable , food was served quickly, perfectly cooked and tasted amazing, a wide choice to suit most tastes. Probably the best place we have visted in a long time, The only downside is that we live to far away to frequent on a regular basis but totally recommend a visit, you wont be disappointed!

Had a fabulous 2 night stay in a deluxe room, which was lovely. During our stay we enjoyed 2 leisurely lunches, 2 excellent evening meals and 2 very nice breakfasts. The staff are all amazing and the chefs are very talented. The icing on the cake for us was being able to sample grouse for dinner on our first evening! It was exquisite and we can now tick that box on our 'bucket list'. Thank you so much. We will definitely be back in the future.

Excellent lunch in every respect. Beautiful pub inside and outside, in a stunning area. Top class menu for a Sunday lunch with the usual offerings plus fantastically cooked local game dishes, which really should be tried. Very positive and friendly staff. We loved it and will be back many times I am sure! Perfect area for a walk before or afterwards of course.

Loved this place. Strong recommendation from friend who is reasonably local and so glad I took the advice. Charming and helpful at the bar, insisting on bringing drinks out to us in the lovely gardens when I could easily have taken a tray. Sad in the sunshine, chatted with fellow diners. So nice. We’d had a long walking day and just wanted to chill and be well fed. Got that in spades. Food was excellent. We hoovered everything. My youngest daughters (in their 20s) are vegetation and pescatarian. They loved it. . Wine selection good. No rush no hassle no waiting. Just all over spot on. Walked back along the river footpath to Pately. Perfect. The whole area is amazeballs so we’ll definitely be back and look forward to eating here again 👍

Excellent food as always and superb service. This is a popular pub/hotel most of the time but at peak periods you really have to book well in advance. Nidderdale trout is superb and on this visit one of us had (roasted) grouse which was absolutely delicious. There’s an extensive wine list and superb draught beer on tap. The rooms are very comfortable and have all the facilities you would expect. We have been several times now and will definitely visit again.

This was our 2nd visit, having found this beautiful pub after visiting How Stean Gorge. The beer garden is lovely, plenty of tables, peaceful and pleasant views. We sat in the bar area for Sunday lunch. Great service. We all had mains and puddings. The food was excellent quality and very tasty. The bar area was full, but not noisy at all. The restaurant looked lovely. Not the cheapest family Sunday lunch(£144), but you get what you pay for and it was worth every penny. Wouldn't hesitate to return and this place is about an hour away for us to travel. Even my very fussy 15yr old daughter loved it! We will definitely be back. Thank you.

Food second to none. We were lucky that their lobster festival was on, so had a, starter and main of lobster. Good value for lobster dishes, and they did not stint on quantity. Heaven. The taste and quality was superb, staff efficient and friendly, would definitely recommend. So, I would rather pay a little bit more for good food than a bit less and poor quality food. Oh, and the summer pudding was excellent (according to my partner who chose that dessert), it certainly looked impressive (I don't have a, sweet tooth, hence lobster starter)

We were a Thursday night walk-in and they accommodated us for food. Nice bar area, and the starters were delicious and came out very quickly despite being told the booked in people took priority, which I felt was an unnecessary thing for the lady to say! Mains followed in good time, venison delicious but the Rump steak was a bit of a let down! Desserts were lovely, and overall the visit was a nice treat to end our trip with. Would return again.

We were out driving some of the fine roads in the vicinity and stumbled across this gem. Owned by the same Family for 45 Years and a flourishing business it would seem. We arrived after the advertised kitchen service but we chanced our arm and asked if they could serve us, which they did. They have rooms too, which we would have preferred to have stayed in had we have known, having had a very poor experience at another venue in the area. Thank you for a super experience - great good, good wine but above all superb welcoming service.

This wonderful country pub is about a mile or so from Pateley Bridge and a lovely place to stop and have a drink after a walk or book in for a wonderful meal. The menu is local, good produce and cooked really well. The staff were friendly, helpful and chatty. We enjoyed a meal in the bar area where the dog was made welcome. The starters were with us fairly quickly and of a good size, there was a nice wait for the mains but that was okay as we enjoyed the atmosphere. All in all a great nights food. It isn't cheap, but then really good food and service shouldn't be. It was a treat for a good days walking!

I would have loved to give 5 stars because, the food was delicious, the staff charming and friendly, the bar area full of character. So what's the problem, we arrived at 11.55, we didn't order starters, our main course arrived 50 mins later, our desert was served just before 2pm. When I booked, the table had to be vacated by 2pm. Of course no one asked us to leave. It wasn't very busy. What is happening in the kitchen. Delicious food is being cooked but so slow to the pass and service. We have been coming to the Sportsman's for special meals for more than 20 years and we know a new generation is now in charge but service MUST be speeded up

We celebrated our 10th Wedding anniversary here(following our wedding reception) with a truly memorable gorgeous meal. Prawn cocktail, halibut, lamb, sticky toffee pudding and food to die for. The ambience and staff and service made it the most relaxing perfect dining experience I have ever...

Excellent service, as always. We went during their lobster festival and both enjoyed the Thermidor. The wine was very good and reasonably priced. There are little things that took the shine off it being a 5 star review. For example, the bread they serve is...

The Pub is quaint and remote, but charge per person, which makes it very overpriced for a couple. The staff were lovely, breakfast decent, but the room was average and an exterior light made it daylight all night long. The mattress has seen better days,...

I would have given this review four stars as the meal I had was tasty. However my partner is vegetarian and he literally had one choice, which was the same dish for main (large) and starters (small).

Fantastic food, friendly staff and excellent value. Will definitely go again next time we are in the area. I couldn't eat it all and they put in in a box for me to take home.

Stumbled on this little eatery while visiting Knaresborough on a Sunday lunch time. We went in to get maybe a sandwich and thought it wasn’t going to be great to be honest but ended up having a cooked lunch and it was so good! The place was busy and you could tell they were locals as they were chatting across to each other. We looked at the menu and decided to have have a cooked meal. I ordered pie chips and peas and my husband a burger with chips salad and coleslaw and a pot of tea. You could actually get a 3 course Sunday lunch for £14.50! When mine came there were no peas but another bowl soon arrived full of fresh vegetables and a big jug of gravy. Food was really good the staff were lovely. The lady said that as she had been cooking Sunday lunches she gave me some of the veg. We were thoroughly impressed and wouldn’t hesitate to visit again. Great food and great value for money! Definitely worth trying!

We popped into The Black Mulberry for a drink but ended up staying for a bite to eat, and I’m so glad we did! The food was delicious, with generous portions that left us more than satisfied. The staff were really lovely, super friendly and made us feel welcome right away. The place itself has a cosy, relaxed vibe, perfect for a casual meal or just grabbing a drink. Definitely a spot I’d visit again!

The staff are great. They accommodated our new baby and made sure we had room for the pram. The food is the best quality whenever we come. Every time we come it makes me think why we didn't eat there before this year!.
