The Buck Inn in Hambleton - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

What can I say. Stunning location, traditional chocolate box village. Right opposite the village green, arrived to a cricket match and woke next morning to cows in a fenced off area on the same green. Small, friendly place with a warm welcome and quickly shown to our rooms. I noticed there was also a downstairs bedroom. Rooms were immaculate and modern, yet retained the charm and features of it's age. Lovely, huge comfy bed and good quality comfortable pillows. Beautiful modern bathroom with good quality fittings and a fabulous powerful shower. Bedding crisp and white. Towels could have been a bit softer. I travel with my own towel, but I did notice they felt very scratchy. Ate in the pub at night. Steak and Ale pie was homemade, plentiful and delicious. Fish and Chips, beautiful white fish and a very generous portion. Service good, friendly and nothing too much trouble. Breakfast was excellent. Quality was very good indeed. Local suppliers and cooked extremely well. Very tasty. Th pub has a beautiful beer garden at the rear. Again, a classic English Country scene and the surrounding area is scenic, very peaceful and lovely for a walk. Really can't find fault with anything at all. I simply cannot recommend this place enough. Nothing to complain about, go stay... you won't be disappointed.

I visited your gorgeous country pub on Friday 2nd when I walked from Bedale specifically to try The Buck, while there I enjoyed two pints of Mahi Tahi which were faultless and a plate of traditional scampi and chips which were delicious, sadly due to bad planning and organisation on my part I had to leave half of my chips in order to get the bus back to bedale however I fully intend to visit you again in future with the intention of staying for at least an hour.

An amazing birthday family meal - we were staying in the area and searched for somewhere to enjoy a birthday meal for our little one. I’m so pleased I found this little gem! We all agreed the food was fantastic and if in the area again wouldn’t think twice about returning! All the staff were friendly and welcoming and the flowers outside were just beautiful. Thanks for a fantastic birthday family meal!

We walked from masham to be greated by a lovely lady behind the bar She told us dinner was being served from 5pm and we sat outside enjoying a lovely pint of theakston best bitter. We ordered rib eye steak and it was like cutting through butter. The food was delicious and the service was first class First class service and first class food a total gem of a beautiful local pub 👌

Always a warm welcome and great food. Has to be one of the best inns in the country. Looking forward to our next visit. Tony, Jackie and Daisy.

The roast Sunday lunch here was superb - well cooked, generous portions and good value for money. The landlady was very friendly and welcoming and her staff did a great job too. The real ales were very well kept, and this beautifully furnished and decorated pub certainly deserves its recent CAMRA award ( “Country Pub of the Year” for the Harrogate & Ripon CAMRA region). I wish I lived closer (I'm Dorset-based)!

The food here is exceptional and we eat here very regularly. We know the quality (and quantity!) will always be well cooked, well presented and delicious . You always get a very warm welcome from Vicki, the owner, and all the delightful staff. Please visit, you won't be disappointed and will be sure to enjoy some good Yorkshire hospitality and friendly atmosphere.

We often eat at the Buck Inn - excellent traditional Sunday lunches available, or a wider choice if you prefer - or visit during the week for a warm welcome and great choice of food. The beer is well kept and this is a well run and friendly place to visit or stay. Highly recommended.

We eat here regularly in a Sunday for lunch, always lovely, Vicky and staff always helpful and find us a table at short notice. Good selection on menu, definitely recommend 😊

While on holiday we had 2 meals at The Buck. On both times the meals were fantastic, well presented, very hot and good sized portions. On one occasion we had a meal to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The steak was out of this world. Vicky and all the staff went out of there way to please and were excellent. Can highly recommend The Buck Inn. Thank you to all staff. Good home cooked food. Dogs welcome.

I came with a group of 14 (for a meal at 5pm). We were very impressed by the set-up - we had a room to ourselves with four tables arranged in a square (with space in the middle) and white table cloths. It made it feel special (like a wedding)! We had been asked to pre-order and the food arrived as soon as we sat down. Great organisation! The food was good and plentiful (a surplus of vegetables and potatoes). Everyone enjoyed the meal.

Visited whilst staying in the village, it was a bit of a last minute visit as the cooker wasn’t working in the cottage. To their credit it was getting late and it was obvious they squeezed us in on a Saturday night. We had one vegan in the party and there was one choice on the menu which wasn’t available, again to their credit the rustled something up. The food was ok and the service was ok and under the circumstances it got us out of a muddle.

My wife and I have just had a one week break in Yorkshire, staying just a few steps from The Buck Inn. After a long drive from Somerset we were happy to take the nearest option for our evening meal and we weren’t disappointed. Firstly this was just what you want from a typical English country pub. A good selection of ales, a warm welcome from the landlady and an excellent choice on the menu. It was clearly popular with the locals. As for the menu there was a mixture of standard pub fare such as fish and chips, scampi and gammon steaks but also some rather special options you would more expect in a quality restaurant. I opted for the red mullet with pancetta and roasted Mediterranean vegetables. Simply delicious. My wife had the special for that day, lamb whirl with black pudding mash. Where have you ever found that one before? Again delicious and luckily for me she was unable to finish it without my help. Six days later we returned for our final meal of the holiday and this time we both went for gammon steaks. These were super sized with two perfectly cooked fried eggs, peas and lovely chips. Finally great and friendly service from all the staff.

I have written a longer review of the Buck in the hotel section. What follows relates to food. The food is home-cooked traditional pub fare with a few nice twists such as massiman feather blade of beef with bok choy. I had lasagne on the first night, which was good. On the second night I had the steak and ale pie which surpassed my expectations. The shortcrust pie was about 2.5 inches high and 4 inches in diameter and was full of large pieces of well-cooked beef; it was delicious. You can eat you meal in the bar area or alternatively in separate eating areas.

Popped in for a simple, quick dinner. As locals we have used this pub a lot pre-lockdown and had some great food. However, this visit seriously disappointed. Gammon was anaemic, flavourless and swimming in water on my plate, burger bun was solid and inedible - possibly from over defrosting and then cremated. When asked if all was OK, we shared our views but the initial response from the kitchen staff was lack lustre. On settling the bill a similar conversation ensued and a £6 discount was applied to the bill - but did not really address the issue. Will definitely not be re-visiting or recommending to family and friends unless we can be assured of significant improvement in quality and approach.

We came here for dinner as we’re staying nearby, what a gem, set in a beautiful location. Everyone so friendly and welcoming, staff extremely nice. Food amazing, really tasty and big portions am still reminiscing about the steak and ale pie it was superb! Highly recommend.

We were looking for a lovely country pub with a nice light bites menu whilst travelling to Northumberland on A1. Booking was easy by phone and a warm welcome from the staff and regulars was met on arrival. The food choice was good and the service/ meal was great. So much so, when returning from our holiday, we booked again on the journey south. This time with two more family members and their well behaved dog in our party. Once again, a nice welcome from the staff and great value food served. All covid protocols in place. The pub is set opposite the village green and very peaceful indeed. Will certainly be stopping here when in the area or passing in the future!

We are visiting the area and picked this pub at random from the map. Nice friendly pub, good food, unhurried service and space for our two terriers. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Accustomed to the good food here when visiting the area but wondered how things would be now? Terrific...good fresh food, fair prices, relaxing ambiance in a proper local...the landlady must be doing something really well..thank you for two relaxing meals during a much needed change of scenery!!

Ate here the first day of eating inside again and a friendly and welcoming owner met us. A delicious homemade steak and ale pie and a hearty burger went down a treat, accompanied by freshly cooked vegetables and chips. We will definitely return when we’re back in the area.

Called in on the way back from Thornton Steward reservoir walk with our dog. We were greeted and seated in a very "Covid" secure environment. We ordered a sharer starter (whitebait) followed by liver, bacon & onions and lasagne with wedges and garlic bread, all delicious. Great ales on tap kept in optimum condition, a very enjoyable lunch. Would recommend

Came here with my partner, place wasn't too busy with some locals sat in the bar area and nobody else in the dining area. Quick service, there was quite a delay with the main course however this was well communicated to us and we were offered free light bites while we waited which came quickly and were delicious. A great example of quality customer service - sometimes things don't run smoothly or as planned in the kitchen which can cause a delay, but its how the staff address and communicate this with the customer that leaves the impression, and that was done brilliantly in this instance so well done. Would definitely come again.

We have previously enjoyed a panini in the garden, and a steak and kidney pudding (inside), so we knew that the food was fab!! It wasn’t as busy as we’d expected...probably due to the current situation, but the welcome was warm and friendly. Our drinks orders were taken promptly and we really enjoyed the carrot and coriander soup starter, a good bowlful with lovely bread. This visit we chose a burger, and lambs liver. What superb choices we made.....clean plates all round after enjoying a super main course....the only downside was that we had no room for a pud!!! The Timothy Taylor Landlord pint was pulled to perfection. We’ll definetly be booking another holiday in the area just to come to The Buck Inn!!

Lovely, tasty, fresh food. Friendly staff and great to sit outdoors facing the village green. Great value for portion size. Yummy .

The restaurant has a village hall style with school chairs and tables. The menu looks good but the Rosemary grilled Chicken breast turned out to be a quarter chicken on the bone and hadn't seen any rosemary, it was overcooked, un-seasoned and dry. The service was very slow, drinks took along time and food was 40 mins before it came. If the prices reflected the standard and service it would be easier to swallow, but £12.50 for the chicken was very expensive. Our other guests had slightly overcooked gammon and cod which was cooked perfectly but served with a bland sauce.

We visited the Buck Inn for lunch. This was only the second time we have been out to eat post lockdown and I have to say we felt extremely safe. The pub has managed to keep going during the lockdown by providing meals and drinks for take-away. It has obviously had the support of the local community who, judging by the number of thank you cards, have been extremely grateful.We were welcomed warmly and shown out to the garden at the rear. The garden was exquisite and a haven of peace and tranquility. It was so soothing to sit and eat in such a calming place.The menu was not extensive but it was good quality with generous portions.The village is so pretty, with dwellings surrounding the village green on which there is a cricket pitch. Only in Englans could you find such a setting, almost out of a Jane Austen novel. We had a walk around the village after lunch and everyone appeared so friendly. We were even invited in to view someone's garden at the Old School House!If you are looking for a safe environment, with friendly service and good quality food in peaceful surroundings, then you could do no better than book a table at the Buck Inn. We shall return soon.

We had a lovely meal here . The service was first class. The food was delicious and despite the COVID 19 the atmosphere was great. We also stayed over night. The room was spotlessly clean. Huge bed and shower room with separate bath. The breakfast next morning was delicious and plentiful. Very friend staff. Would highly recommend The Buck Inn . Set in a lovely village over looking the green. Thank you too all the staff for a very pleasant evening and stay.

The Buck Inn turned out to be the perfect location to eat 6 days after England awakened from the COVID19 hospitality lockdown. The inn was very clean and staff well trained which gave us a huge amount of confidence for our first meal eating inside after lockdown. Our contact details were taken as soon as we entered and there was plenty of hand sanitiser to use. It’s funny as the normal things we would included on a trip advisor post I.e. quality of food and service we just took for granted as our focus was on COVID19 procedures. The food was excellent, we both had gammon & eggs. The service was attentive but not over bearing.All told a great experience and we would not hesitate to recommend a visit to the Buck Inn both in these strange times but also when the world returns to some form of normal, what ever that is.

We have just had delivered " Vicky's Buck Inn Big Breakfast", would highly recommend it, it was very well cooked and presented, the person who delivery it very pleasant, the food was lovely and hot, Vicky is a real asset to the village especially more so in these time of lockdown.

We arrived next door to the Buck Inn on Monday 16th at our holiday cottage. We have eaten here every evening for the last 4 nights. The steaks on a steak night ( wednesday) are the best we have ever had. The garlic bread is to die for. The lamb shank melts in your mouth, I had this for a second time it was so nice. Hubby had the southern fried chicken burger which was gorgeous. The pub is the heart of the local community, the locals have made us feel very welcome. If you are looking for a friendly pub with the most awesome food then come here.

We're staying nearby and have come to the Buck Inn for our evening meal. What can I say? We've already decided we'll be eating here every night until we go home at the end of the week. Food is amazing and absolutely home cooked. For the first night I had gammon and egg and my wife had lamb shank. We both struggled to finish our meals and the quality of the food was amazing. I should also point out that the garlic bread is to die for! I've never tasted that quality before and am already looking forward to tomorrow's evening meal. Well done, Buck Inn.

Did not book but was shown to a table in the restaurant, people also eating in the bar area. We both had Sunday roasts beef and chicken, both big helpings and tasty. Prompt friendly service, decent price for the quality.

Excellent meal .Staff were good and attentive. It was obviously busy and sitting by an entrance wasn’t ideal with people coming and going opening and closing the doors next to our table became irritating.

I wish I could write a good review.However I really cannot. I asked for a bread roll with the 1st course;I was served a white uncooked processed bread roll.I was told for 2nd course of a turkey dinner, that because I dont do gravy(yep they put it on ready for you) they had no dinners left for me.Ten minutes later one suddenly appeared; cold veggies cold potatoes there was no accompaniments left. However a dish of something sliced appeared and I asked what it was, the waitress said no idea! so I left that mystery. The dessert was supposed to be a fool again disappointed as it was custard with jam, another of the group also left it as they dont eat custard hence asking for the fool.Other guests eating with myself also had various problems with their dinners also.just too many to list.I can only say what I told my friends How dare they even charge for this!Yes I did pay as I did not want to cause embarrassment to others. We wont be returning ever.

First time we have visited The Buck Inn but will definitely be back. The staff were friendly when we walked in and quickly served us drinks and offered us their lunchtime menu. We sat in the dining area to the back of the pub which was comfortable and quiet.The menu had a really good selection of snack type light meals but we decided on main courses. When the lady came to take the order we ordered lasagne and enquired if they did homemade pie as a special because we could see it on the menu. She happily offered to let us order the steak and ale pie, despite it being an evening menu dish.We definitely weren’t disappointed. Deep filled home made pie in a lovely ale gravy with thick hand cut chips and veg. The lasagne was just as good and would have both again. Would also recommend the homemade onion rings!We’ll be back to try the other dishes on the menu as we struggled to chose between them all! Thanks to your team for a great visit!!

We have just started coming to the buck regularly in the past few months, the food is always wonderful, and such a fun range of different dishes. I have started to work my way through all the different things on the menu, and nothing has fallen short, everything is cooked expertly and is of such a higher quality than I have found in other places, the crusted lamb rump in particular is my favourite. The staff are all so friendly, helpful and thoughtful. We enjoy sitting out in the beer garden which is a really nice size, and nice bigs tables. You could not fault the buck, it is the absolute picture of a community pub where everyone makes the effort to make you feel welcome.

This is a busy village pub, with locals socialising at the bar. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed, and the service good. We chose to eat in the bar, which was a little noisy, but we found this much cosier and more pleasant than the other eating areas.The food was outstanding, and terrific value. Apparently a new chef started there about a month ago, and is in the process of improving an already good menu. I chose swordfish in a lemon and caper sauce from the "specials" board, which was fresh and delicious, by far the best I have ever tasted, and my husband's steak was perfect.

We are staying in the area and used trip advisor to find us somewhere nice for lunch and wow thank you trip advisor! The staff are friendly - the food was really delicious (the chips were amazing!!!!) We tried the fish and chips, lasagne and the steak and ale pie - clean plates all round! We will be back!

Popped in for coffee with relatives at lunchtime. Very nice coffee and friendly, efficient service. I was impressed.

Was staying in bedale for a few days and decided to take a walk here based on the reviews. I have to say it was well worth the 6+ mile round trip!! Prawn sandwich, Wensleydale cheese and homemade chutney sandwich with a portion of chips hit the spot for our halfway pit stop. Lovely welcoming pub and friendly staff, my husband, myself and Labrador puppy made to feel very welcome even though we were slightly damp from the British weather. Will visit again if in the area

New Years Eve one night in the late 1970s. Strains of Jeff Beck echoing around the small function room. A cheeky shandy for a 16 year old. Hazy disco lights piercing the smoke filled room. Sweaty bodies jumping up and down.

Everything about the Buck is wonderful. we travelled from Morecambe for the jazz barbecue on the Saturday and stayed overnight. Fantastic and very tasty breakfast and very warm, friendly people. Will stay again anytime.

A good pub with atmosphere. The selection of beers was excellent and all all served at the right temperature,Food in the restaurant was in general very good. Some dishes left a little for improvement but in general all OK

Well worth following the SatNav to find this lovely village pub, by the side of a nice green - cricket played on it in summer, so do not park your car nearby as cricket field extends into pub carpark ! Nice coal fire in hearth; newspapers to read; friendly staff to chat to; good local beers to sample and decent food served piping hot cheered us up.

Food was Fabulous... Beer was Fabulous as always. A real special place to enjoy a beer and great company ... I look forward to my next visit ... Thanks Vickie and the rest of the team

The Buck Inn is a great country village pub that serves really good food.. I have eaten here several times over the last 15 years and the food and real ale are always very good.

The Buck Inn is a very pleasant and inviting country pub overlooking the village green of Thornton Watlass. It is just a short drive from the small town of Masham, best known as home to Theakstons and Black Sheep Breweries.

Really enjoyed this meal on the last night of our holiday. The food was excellent and I particularly liked the sweet of mixed fruit pavlova. The staff were very pleasant and helpful.

While staying in the area, we dropped by to check out the dinner menu at this pub and 'were warmly greeted by "Vicky" and immediately we knew this was the place for us. Such a friendly neighbourhood pub and our meal service & dinners were first-class. 'Wish we were staying longer in this area as it was such an enjoyable meal experience! Enjoy.

Great English Pub in a lovely English village. Watch the cricket and have a pint! Just park at the back! Owners do everything to accommodate you. Meals for everyone not just "bar meals" excellent menu, Great local real ales. A few miles from Masham where there are 2 great breweries to visit. Bedrooms are cosy and well equipped. Breakfast is comprehensive whatever you want. even cater for coeliacs! Beer garden at the back child and dog friendly. Wedding parties etc. catered for. We'll be back.

We visited as a family of four on our holidays. Excellent choice on the menu and a brilliant selection of gluten free options! Staff were lovely and we can’t wait to return.

Perfect venue for a private family gathering that was able to cope with children. Both kids food & adult meals were excellent. Fantastic, traditional, well priced, well cooked, great portions with brilliant & friendly service from Vicky, Tony & their staff. Faultless & a little gem of a pub in a beautiful North Yorkshire village. And the onions rings are to die for. My disabled grandson munched on them as well as dipping them in the delicious blue cheese sauce. Thank you! We will be back.

We arrived And I had a perfectly kept pint and wife had a cider.

Traditional pub and resaurant. Set around the village green where you can enjoy a pint while watching a local cricket match.

I have been visiting (and enjoying) this pub on & off for nearly 40 years, however this was the first visit for some time. On a summer’s day the garden is a treat. The food is well prepared and reasonably priced, and service is friendly and prompt. A lovely spot.

An incredible weekend attended by the top UK players and fans. The team playing cricket on the green didn't appreciate the music as the tempo was far to exciting for their sedentary type of game approach.

Beautiful country pub with friendly staff. Beautiful Sunday lunch with very tender and delicious roast beef, traditional food cooked to perfection .

We are here twice last week. The food is superb! First night I chose pork stuffed with black pudding and cider gravy with veg. OMG!! Delicious. Lovely staff and lovely atmosphere. Beer garden is lovely and spacious. Toilets spotless. I will definitely be back. What more can I say! Fab!

This is our second visit to this brilliant pub and restaurant, and just like our first visit everything was superb!! Lovely warm welcome, beautiful table by the window already set for us. My wife kerry and youngest daughter Maddie had the fish and chips, beautiful big flakes of fish under the batter, kerry said the tartare sauce was amazing with the excellent fish. My eldest Millie had the gammon, chips and beans, she was the first to finish with a completely clean plate! (Adult portion for her next time). I had the chicken, leek and mushroom pie; easily the best pie I have had, the pastry was lovely and the filling fantastic. The food is so nice you feel guilty to leave any of the generous portions, this meant by dessert we were all very full so just shared some mint chocolate chip and Cinderella ice cream both were brilliant. Service throughout the meal was polite and attentive. A perfect place for a lovely meal and a drink, thanks again and see you soon

This is a great pub, set back from the village green in a lovely village. When we were there they were just getting the cricket square ready for the new season - could just imagine sitting outside on a warm Spring day with a pint watching the cricket - perfect. The pub serves good quality pub food. My wife and i both had the fish and chips which were excellent. the staff were attentive and pleasant, and the locals were friendly. They also sell good beer, black sheep and theakstons from masham, but then two rotating pumps from local craft breweries, which were excellent. i can heartily recommend.-

Visited today and had one of the best Sunday dinners I can remember having. We were treated with a friendly welcome and taken to our table. The lady that sat us was very nice and told us the kids could have a smaller portion of the main menu or something different from the kids menu. My wife and I had the roast topside of beef dinner, one of my daughter's had the turkey dinner and the other had fish and chips. The food was amazing!!! The beef was cooked beautifully and the mash, roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings were great. My daughter's turkey was moist and the stuffing lovely. The kids fish and chips portion was a great size and my daughter said it was the best fish she has ever had. The 3 girls had sticky toffee pudding for desert and loved it. The young waitresses were friendly and helpful, bringing extra sauces and gravy throughout dinner. Great selection of ales, and the pub it's a beautiful place to be, nice and cosy on a cold day. Excellent value for money, thank you for an great afternoon.

Loved this, couple of wood burning fires. Many ales on cask. Old mahogany bar is beautiful and the landlords are lovely.

Called in here after visiting the Cauldron Falls and this was the only place that had a free table. I don't know why because it's a great place. Maybe it's just a bit our of the way? Staff were friendly and helpful and the food was gorgeous. The roast dinner was excellent. All I would say is that I found it very under seasoned, but that's just my taste. All the food was piping hot on arrival too. As for the sticky toffee pudding the pic speaks for itself! Oh, and the kids meals was great too!

Had a lovely meal here whilst staying in “The Swallow Lodge” for Xmas . Really friendly staff and locals. We had our puppy with us who was also allowed in . The garlic mushrooms on sour bread for starter was delicious followed by lasagne which was a bit hit .The steak and ale pie was also good .

We ate here twice on a weeks holiday to the area; our first night, the steak and ale pie for my husband and crunchy lemon coated chicken breast with salad and chips for me. The steak and ale pie had so much steak in it, really amazing flavour gravy, it was beautiful (I had to try some!). My meal was also lovely, the salad was huge and really colourful, not just a few scattered leaves and really good chips!

now dog friendly and open all day. good food served until 2pm then again in the evening. restaurant looked pleasant. having the dog with us we ate in the bar. good carpark and outside tables, ideal to watch the cricket on the green watchful of the balls as they do hit them across the road. ye olde village pub in a wonderful english village.

Came here after we couldn't get into our local pub and am glad we did. I ordered the steak pie and my wife the burger with blue cheese. My wife really enjoyed the burger and I have to say it was the best steak pie...

Decidimos ir a este pub mientras estábamos en Patrick Brompton después de intentar encontrar algún lugar que sirve buena comida basada en comentarios que habíamos visto en aquí y no nos decepcionó. Nos dieron la bienvenida a su llegada y sentado en una esquina tranquila....

El Buck Inn está situado en un lugar tan encantador. Disfrutamos de una buena cerveza local y muy agradable cena en nuestra última visita. El personal era extremadamente amable y el servicio era excelente. Una buena selección de comida incluyendo especiales diarios. Buenos precios, en...

Encontramos este pub por accidente y valió la pena. La comida era fabulosa, y el personal era cálido, amable y aceptadas a nuestro perro. Tuve el budín de carne y riñón y fue el mejor que hemos probado. Había mucho de la carne en el...

A menudo llamada después de un paseo con el perro. Ambiente agradable, buena cerveza y comida. Preciosa chimenea muy acogedor en invierno. Lo recomiendo sin duda. No se puede y también.

Visitamos el Buck Inn con nuestros 2 hijos menores, nos tomamos una copa y nos fuimos a sentar en el restaurante para estudiar el menú!

Sábado cerca de la ventana con vistas al verde y cricket vimos mientras comíamos. Buen tamaño de la porción para el precio y la comida muy sabrosa.

Enjoyed my time in the Village found the Buck Inn very friendly place.Black sheep beer well recommended. great place to watch the Village Cricket.Bar staff very friendly.Found the meal very enjoyable and well presented

Four of us had a really nice meal at the Buck Inn. Well presented home cooked food in lovely surroundings. Would recommend.

Nice pub in a great quiet location next to the cricket field.We ate there one lunchtime (sandwich and chips) and two evenings.Sitting in the bar by the fire on wet days was great.The food was excellent. Well presented and good portions. Friendly service and chatty locals.The haddock was especially good.Good real alesHighly recommended.

Food is great and always piping hot! The chef is willing to adapt his menu to an individuals taste and special options are provided to vegans etc. The environment is friendly and the accommodation is of high standard. This place is perfect for a quiet weekend get away. Keep an eye out for their music nights, they always go down a hoot.

A group of us were staying nearby at lindale holiday park but decided we fancied a pub meal out one evening. I'd read a few reviews and we decided to go to the Buck Inn, and I'm so glad we did! We had a really friendly welcome when we arrived and the fire was roaring. We ordered scampi, burgers and the pie - all were really good quality and very generous portions! We had a great evening and if we're ever up that way again I'd love to go back. It's definitely worth a visit! :)

I used to meet my Father here once a week for lunch over a period of 15 years. The Buck has been under new management fo 18 months or so and. It was a pleasure to go back. Unfortunately Father is no longer with us but he never liked change anyway, and talking of change what was good has been kept but decoration and tweaks to the menu add value.There is still an excellent range of real ales, and still the choice to eat in the dinning room or at your table in the bar. A roaring fire adds to the friendly welcome, and the banter from the locals was good entertainment.The meals were good with the lambs liver cooked to perfection, but please expect a bit of pink rather than dry rubber. The gammon was good with two tasty eggs and "proper" eggs. Parts of the gammon were a bit dry but certainly not enough to complain, and oh yes I would have.The Buck offers bed and breakfast and is thus a great springboard for visiting the Dales.Don't expect a crowd in fact on a Friday night it was quiet, so come on add to the numbers supporting this gem in the countryside of Godd's own county.

Come here quite a bit because the food is AMAZING although I can't bring myself to have anything other than their burgers! However, I've tried friends food and the steak is really tender too and no-one has said a bad word. This is now our go to place for bringing friends and family who come up to stay. Unfortunately though, me and the husband believe that the burgers have gotten smaller lately :(

Had lunch here today, beside a lovely open fire. The food was home made and delicious and the location would be hard to beat. We will return

I was staying here for 1 night and enjoyed 3 courses. The food is not only tasty but it is well presented and wholesome. The butternut squash with leeks was delicious and the apple cake was a delight to eat. I'm a vegetarian and I like to see a good sized plate of food that has not been drizzled with the latest chilli oil or tampered with because it is fashionable.

Meeting 'long lost' friends after many years we were pleasantly surprised to find The Buck alongside the village cricket ground in this small village. The landlady was welcoming and t eh pub grub food was excellent. We all left thinking we were lucky to have found such a place which one can describe as an old typical english pub with very pleasant staff.

Over visiting family and they took us to there favourite place, The Buck Inn. They raved about this place, and I know why, I had the salmon in a leek sauce, served with perfectly cooked new potatoes. It was delicious! I live in Canada and have salmon often, but this is one I would travel back to the UK for year after year.

The new owners have been at the Buck for 1 year now. A vast improvement with all rooms decorated and refitted. The accommodation has also had a make over and now has walk in showers, large new beds and flat screen tv. The food is very good and now reasonable priced and coupled with a number of real ales makes an attractive visit.

Situated opposite the village green and cricket pitch it is your quintessential english pub, with great beer and excellent food.Also dog friendly

Found this little gem, great food and friendly staff. Made us feel very welcome, would recommend if your in the area.

My Dad thoroughly enjoyed a well prepared steak after a hearty helping of whitebait - in celebration of this 80th birthday. Staff were friendly, courteous and went out of their way to cater for the needs of eight of us. Food was well cooked and served in plentiful portions. Beer was well kept. We thoroughly recommend The Buck.

Popped in for Saturday lunch. Warm welcome, good beer, delicious steak and ale pie, papers on hand and an open fire. What more could you want!

A dog friendly pub. The hub of the community the new people who took it over in May are friendly eager to supply a good experience . The food is good, the locals friendly. The central place in a small community . A good selection of local cask and bottled beers. But snobbish about it. Would recommend whether walking, driving, to pop in and enjoy this gem of a find

we had a great meal in the local pub - good pub food, stunning garden and great local ales. also in prime position to watch the local cricket when it's going on!

Four of us were staying the weekend in Masham.We thought we would find a nice country pub and have an evening meal and a few beers.(The wife was driving!)The landlord was very friendly and talkative especially about cricket!An interesting cricket ground-An oak tree in the middle of it!!!! Any rate the food was exellent !The beer even better! We would all visit again when in the area.

Our previous visit was last June on steak night - Thursday. This time it was Friday and it was satisfying to have our initial view of the pub and its food confirmed.We could have eaten in the bar, which was convivial but we were at a round table and we like a bit more room so ate in the restaurant.Our starter was smoked salmon and prawns with salad and marie rose sauce- conventional but done very well with quality ingredients.Our mains were rib eye steak and grilled cod, both absolutely excellent with a side of their fabulous onion rings.No matter where you eat or how elaborate or adventurous the menu there can't be a better combination than fresh top quality ingredients beautifully cooked and presented by a charming efficient waitress, and this is what the Buck Inn delivers.

A beautiful pub in a gorgeous setting.We were greeted by the landlord, and a nice open fire. As it is Winter time the pub was fairly quiet. The main bar was full of artefacts and information relating to the history of the pub and the area. The menu choice was simple but traditional. The food was piping hot, very tasty and there was plenty of it. The fish and chips were massive! The batter was light and the fish tasted completely fresh. If you're a lover of cheese then you should definitely choose the ploughmans lunch, a large assortment cheeses (local), homemade pickles and chutneys and hot crusty bread with lashings of creamy butter.Well worth going off the beaten track to find.

Went for Sunday lunch and had a jazz afternoon! I had roast beef and my wife the roast pork - both excellent! Really decent food and good atmosphere. There was a jazz band on in the other half of the pub which made for a really unusual Sunday dining experience -- in the positive sense.Nice, friendly staff as well as locals; all topped off by some good cask beers. I bet this is even more fab in the summer when there's a cricket match on just outside the front door!Really good experience.

Ate here last weekend, I ordered the Lasagne & my husband the Burger. My lasagne had next to no sauce - either tomato or cheese - and no seasoning. It was just mince meat with pasta. My husbands burger was tough enough to sole shoes!! I expressed my disappointment to the landlord whose only comment was that he coudln't understand my problem as the Lasagne is one of his top sellers. Not a response designed to inspire us to eat there again
