The Barrel in East Riding of Yorkshire

The Barrel is a gem of a pub that balances a warm, welcoming vibe with plenty of energy. The friendly staff add a personal touch, making everyone feel like a regular. What sets it apart are the weekly events—especially the Thursday night quiz, which draws a lively crowd and brings a real sense of community. The beer selection is impressive, offering a great range of choices to satisfy all tastes. Whether you’re there for a quick pint or an evening of fun, The Barrel is the perfect spot to relax and connect.

Nice cozy drinking pub, decent selection of lagers only 2 ales on thwaites brewery owned

Excellent atmosphere, great beer , award winning 🍻

A great pub for a beer, unfortunately no food . When we went with friends from the village there was a lovely open fire and a great range of beers. Recommended.

Great local pub, lovely atmosphere. Very homely

A friendly and welcoming traditional English pub with coal fire. Small beer garden. No food. Highly recommended.

We have done a Christmas ride in fancy dress, around the wolds for the last 13 years, and the barrel has always been on our rout, always been welcomed and had a good time, this year was different, Im not sure if it's under new management but we walked through the door and was told to leave straight away as they was too full, (which they wasnt) but then was allowed to but only if we was quick and quiet, so we complied, but I think it was the manager who was quite rude to us and clearly doesnt have much Christmas spirit, so we drank up and left, I would have though a pub would have loved to have 16 people buying multiple drinks for a couple of hours, looks like we should try another one in Walkington next time.

Nice traditional pub with a good choice of drinks. Lovely warm atmosphere and dog friendly too, thanks

This was our 'calendar' pub for the month of July 23.. Lovely country pub, great inside and even a couple of benches outside on the roadside. Staff were friendly and whilst not a massive selection the beers were well kept. We didn't eat here so can't comment on the food should they do food. Good visit

Enjoyed a drink here, very pleasant barmaid. Good luck in your chosen university!

Really traditional drinking pub with real fire and real candles. Dogs allowed in so a bonus!

The barrel in Walkington is a proper friendly traditional English Village pub. They serve excellent quality hand pulled cask conditioned real ale. It's a nice cozy pub with several rooms. There is a good sized secluded garden at the back. Dog friendly, on street parking. Highly recommended.

Lovely little village pub. Bar staff friendly and very welcoming. they don't do food only bar snacks.

A lovely area to visit especially if walking!!

We went to the Barrel to finish off a night out with friends in our home village. We enjoyed a cosy atmosphere abd a nice g+t nightcap!

Warm and welcoming, tried a pint of wainwright. Enjoyed the atmosphere and met a lovely gentleman. Will be using again!

Best pub in the village. Really really friendly people and great beer.

Great traditional, pub, no food, good landlord keeps his beer well and homely atmosphere.

The only place I spend beer calories.

Too noisey, have to fight your way to and from the bar because customers are encouraged to stand at the bar.

Great atmosphere, lovely staff and nice to go to a drinking pub. The good company helped too!!

Excellent rural pub atmosphere warm and friendly👍

Best pint of Wainwright's for many a mile!

Sport on tv friendly bar staff coal fire very comfy

Nice pub. Lots of atmosphere , friendly staff and well kept beer. What more do you need 😀

Dog friendly venue with a good selection of cask ales. They don't serve food and had no hot drinks on the bar menu which was disappointing on a cold winter day. Cozy fire and very friendly staff.

Proper small cosy English pub, Lancaster Bomber ale a touch off so swapped onto Wainwright's, friendly locals even when the dog farted...😂

Amazing, small cozy and homely. Friendly locals and staff. Really welcoming!
