The Craven Heifer Inn in Craven

Great pint of IPA in a proper country boozer

Fantastic well worth a visit if you're in the area

Fab 🤩 afternoon of Guinness 🍻, music and food. A visiting group of acoustic musicians 🎶🎸🪗🎻🪕 provided impromptu entertainment. The food (I had steak & ale pie with chips 🥧🍟) was excellent, well priced and nicely presented. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. We'll be going back!

Very friendly and welcoming staff. Ready for a chat any time

Beautiful clean ,smart dog friendly pub. Relatively new owners and staff very nice and welcoming.

Food is excellent, beer was excellent, premises are clean and the staff are very welcoming. Our new favourite place to eat in Ingleton.

After a lovely walk along the ingleton trail it was time for a well deserved drink and lunch. We popped in here and I ordered the mix grill and boy it didn’t let me down. Very large and cooked to perfection. After the food stop we popped inside for a few beers chosen from the smoke of real ales and played pool and darts, a great afternoon. The landlady and landlord were extremely amicable. If we are ever in the area again would most definitely come in.

Cracking. Great service and great owner. Big portions

The pub was “closed due to unforeseen circumstances” according to the sign outside.

popped in for a sunday roast the food was so nice!!! best sunday roast i’ve had in a while! the staff were friendly and helpful. just a lovely little pub would recommend :)

Just been to the Craven Hiefer in Ingleton. Went to watch football and were entertained by both staff and locals. Haven’t been in as good a local pub in a long time.

We called in for something to eat only to be told they'd stopped doing food at 5pm on a Sunday so had to look for somewhere else.

Amazing little gem in the center of Ingleton, thr owners are lovely people, the food was delicious, the rooms are well kept and inviting. 100% staying there again next time.

We didnt book, just walked in and was seated. They had run out of a lot of stuff, sunday lunch, sticky toffee, apple Crumble, fruit shoots. This didnt effect us though as we wanted something else. The scampi was delicious . Sat in the dining room, was a little chilly. The staff jess was so helpful and friendly

Ok pub in dales making a living worth a visit

This Inn does the best Sunday dinner in Ingleton. The staff are always kind and welcoming. The food is great. I would recommend the sticky toffee pudding for dessert too. Can't wait to go back.

it's been a while since we've eaten here but booked as we hadn't been since it changed hands/was done up. The food was great, all 5 of us left stuffed & satisfied. The fish & chips was amazing, one of the best restaurant F&C i've had! Service was spot on & the prices weren't bad! We ate at Wheatsheaf the following day, paid the same prices for a much poorer standard of food!

Whilst staying in our Motorhome near Ingleton we decided to visit the Craven Heifer in the village and what a find.The landlady Lynne was very welcoming and couldn't do enough.The meal was first class my wife and I had Gammon,egg and homemade chips and lasagne. Now we have had this meal before in other establishments but never to this standard,we would not hesitate to return.

Quiet night for the pub. still good food and warm welcome

Adequate pub good menu cooked well. Good friendly service.

This is now our 4th stay with Lynn and her team in 3 years. We were greeted with the fantastic warm welcome that we have come to expect. Rooms are clean and airy. They are compact but have everything you need. I particularly like the fresh milk and water in the fridge. There are a good range of beers and gins served in the bar. We didn't eat there this time but I have no reason to believe that the food would be anything but excellent as it was during our previous 3 visits. Lynn must be doing a lot right to keep us coming back for more.

Nice traditional pub. Good selection of beers. Decent outdoor seating area and brilliant location in ingleton.

Nice pub. We were there on the early shift. Friendly folk behind the bar. Thwaites ales.

Well worth stopping for lunch on Sunday. Roast lunch delicious, tasty well cooked food, great basic ingredients. Couldn’t do better myself. Friendly, attentive service. Great kitchen expedition!

Excellent Sunday lunch, food fresh and from great basic ingredients. Staff attentive and friendly.

Great place. just called in for end of day refreshment😃

Nice place good atmosphere and friendly staff and customers thank you

Lovely food and great service and staff.

The staff were brilliant, a very warm welcome. They accommodated us even though they were booked up and the food was excellent 👌

We came here for an evening meal whilst camping in ingleton. Two adults and a 3 year old. We were made to feel very welcome by the barmaid who showed us to our table. She took our order promptly and the food arrived in a reasonable amount of time. We had the steak and ale pie, bacon wrap and a kids lasagne. All food was piping hot and tasted delicious. The sticky toffee pudding and ice cream I shared with my 3 year old was gorgeous!! Fairly priced for the quality of food and good portion sizes. The pub looks dated, but don't let that put you off. Would come again!

First class service excellent food and a good quality Ale's All served with a friendly Smkle. 😍

Great beer after a lovely walk around the waterfalls. We had cheesy chips all home made great.

5 lads & we stayed for 2 nights walking 3 peaks. Had a lovely meal each night looked after by the very good staff, had a granddaughter born while I was there so toasted the night away. Will definitely use again

Booked a room very last minute, Lynn the owner couldn't have been more friendly, welcoming and helpful, stayed over one night as we were due to go on a hot air balloon ride, unfortunately this was cancelled at the last minute. No problem with the room very clean and had everything we needed, will definitely be staying here again if we're in the area.

Had lunch here. When for the roast beef and Yorkshire puddings. Was all delicious. Not sure why there are roast potatoes + mashed potatoes + sweet potatoes all on the plate. Perhaps a carrot or two are needed to avoid potato overdose? Decent quality food either way. Service was quick and efficient and staff friendly. Toilets clean. Kids menu available.

We came in and we’re welcomed really nicely, then shown to a table for us all. Our drinks order was taken and brought promptly. The staff took our food order and helped organise food for our son who has many intolerances. I was really impressed and would recommend the minted lamb shank to anyone. My family ate all on their plate and enjoyed everything.

Stayed here in 2015. Then the rooms were small but good. The Pub is nice. Breakfast. Diner. A beer. All fine. What more do you want.

Visited for dinner after completing the waterfall trail. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The food was beautiful, huge portions, fresh, tasty homemade food absolutely gorgeous.

Ate here tonight, food and service was lovely, no complaints - everyone was friendly. We would definitely come again!

Nice little pub, nice beer, in a very nice place in Yorkshire. Apparently the viaduct opposite the pub was used in a Harry Potter film, so I am told.

We visited the Craven Heifer twice during our stay in Ingleton. We were welcomed warmly and the service was friendly and efficient. Our dog was made particularly welcome and given a bowl of water and a biscuit. We ordered the chicken burger and fish and chips and we enjoyed them. It’s a local amenity which deserves to do well.

superb stay at the Craven Heifer in Ingleton, Lynne and her staff are wonderful (even when the pub restaurant is full and full of shall we say unruly children with parents that dont care), if your thinking of staying in Ingleton then i wouldnt hesitate to book here as its central to everything and like i said earlier Lynne and her staff are great. we will be back.

Great lite pub in the heart of Ingleton, fantastic selection of beers and ales served by friendly and helpful staff, definitely worth a visit and highly recommended.

We stayed one night at the Craven Heifer and really enjoyed it. Very nice lady and the pub is very cozy. I also give this review as a small compensation of the obvious vile reviews of the same group of friends that all reviewed before me with a single star. It says very clearly you can't eat food bought somewhere else on this premise.

Great food, good price, great beer

Tap bar, good selection of beers, dog friendly,nice and cosy seating and drinking after a Sunday morning walk in the rain.

Great pub, great atmosphere, very friendly staff, landlady is very welcoming and very friendly, definitely need to visit this pub. Also the food is amazing.

Highly recommended for a good drink and pub food, served well. We have a Bed & Breakfast and suggest that our guests book for dining in advance so that they know they've a table and always give us positive feedback for the normal menu and Sunday roasts.

We came there just to eat and both the service and the food were on spot. I've ordered fish and chips, haven't had such good chips in a long time, just like at home! The owner was very accommodating, nice and attentive. I would highly recommend the food!!!!

Very friendly and hospitable service, nice decor and most importantly excellent food, nicely presented and very tasty. Also possibly best chips we had!

Had a lovely meal there last Sunday .

Under new management, first impressions are very favourable, very clean. Pub, friendly hosts..Good food ,good beer selection an enjoyable friendly stay.

Great food,piping hot and fresh even though there were 30 in our group! Staff were very friendly, great service,helpful with the children. Would highly recommend!

Nice friedly atmosphere and great food. My wife had the sirloin steak and it was cooked to perfection. I went for the steak and ale pie. Absolutely delicious accompanied with home made chips and a delightful mixture of vegetables. The service was good and overall excellent value.

Beef and ale pie Pan fried salmon Beg chilli Apple crumble All very good, cooked with care, Excellent fresh vegetables

Enjoyed an excellent Sunday Lunch in nice surroundings and friendly staff. Good portions of piping hot good food.

Amazing service, Amazing food. The home cooked childcare to die for. The kids meals are excellent value and excellent size. Everything is fresh and cooked to order. The staff are amazing. The owner Lynne is so welcoming. We liked it so much we went two nights in a row and would go back again if it weren’t for the fact that we have to go home!

We were visiting Ingleton with another family so there were eight of us in total (four adults and four children, with ages ranging from 5-9yrs old) It was our first visit and we hadn’t booked but Lynn was super welcoming when we turned up and couldn’t have been more accommodating. She was so friendly and lovely with the kids. The menu had plenty of choice and the food was delicious - I’d even go as far as saying it was the best home cooked pub food we’ve had! Three of the four adults ordered starters - black pudding, salmon fish cake and halloumi - followed by sausage & mash, beef balti and beef & ale pie for main. The kids ate chicken nuggets, burger and scampi. We even squeezed in some desserts - chocolate brownie, pineapple sorbet and apple crumble. Portions were generous, all food was cooked fresh to order and the home cooked chips were the best we’d eaten - no wonder they have won awards! The kids enjoyed their meal so much they begged us to return the following night which we did!! This time we sampled the nachos, black pudding and soup (mushroom) to start, followed by chicken burger, scampi and gammon for main. All the kids had chicken nuggets followed by more chocolate brownie and pineapple sorbet! Another faultless meal! A real little gem in this beautiful little village and a must visit! Can’t recommend this place enough! Thank you Lynn and team, it was a pleasure to meet you and dine with you for two nights!

Lovely meal out with the family. The menu was simple but executed very well. The food was plentiful and tasted delicious. Staff were friendly and served us well.

Absolutely appalling customer service bar manager thinks she's better than her paying customers. Her attitude stinks!! And the food is crap. Apart from that its good

Popped in for a drink here. The landlady was lovely & the staff were so polite. However, the pub does not have that “family friendly” vibe. Many of the locals were being rowdy and just generally creating an uncomfortable atmosphere. (A few were being quite...

We stayed 3 nights and had the most welcoming visit by Lynn and her staff. Good food, good beers, and perfect base to explore the area. Definitely would come back

The vegetarian lasagne was very poor. The portion size was only suitable for a child and at £12.95 was over priced. However the other meals looked good. The choice of beer was also poor. Felt a bit shambolic and was not helped by someone vaping...

You can usually judge a stay on the quality of the welcome, the quality of the chips and the type of tea bag in the room. This establishment is excellent on all of these. Lynne and her staff could not have been more accommodating, the...

Basic menu but all 4 of us really enjoyed our food, steak, fish and chips, vegetable lasagne and scampi. We shared some outstanding halloumi fries to start!

It’s unfortunate that COVID means this pub seems a bit soulless at the moment, but the food is good and the staff are really friendly and trying their best. We had a lovely warm welcome and very nice fish and chips.

We usually bypass the Heifer when we're in the village but following a wet walk around the falls we chose to drop by and grab some lunch...what a warm welcome with delicious hearty food. I recommend the Black pudding Stack followed by the Gammon... We'll...

Atmosphere a little strange due to the way we were seated for social distancing but the food was lovely - all 4 of us really enjoyed what we ordered. Service was great too

Friendly welcome, Covid rules adhered to throughout. The Kingstone apple cider was excellent and the food was delicious! No complaints whatsoever. Thank you all for a lovely experience!

This is a fantastic pub run by a wonderful lady. The food is great and the beer is perfect. This is a must for anyone visiting Ingleton. Keep up the good work 👍🏻😃
