The Devonshire Hotel in Craven

I hated the smell inside. It smells of stale bleach which is overpowering. I don't know what they use to clean but it really put me off my meal unfortunately.

Visited Grassington for the first time with my husband , we knew it was where they filmed All creatures great and small, so we had to visit The Devonshire ( The Drovers ) and we were not disappointed, We both had steak and fried onion baguettes , which came with coleslaw and the BEST homemade chunky chips , we also asked for a portion of gravy, which they were more than happy to do for us, also a tea and coffee, in all the bill was just over £34 Well worth the money ..... Delicious food ..... Friendly staff ..... Cosy atmosphere ......

Had Sunday dinner I had booked for my wife's birthday they were very accommodating and the food was excellent and we will be back thanks

We had Sunday roast was presented nice but a bit cold.disappointing.place was busy.was ask if I wanted it replated.but refused.because would not have eaten it after saying something. People with me said the same.we won't be returning there again

I have been twice in the last 6 weeks, both on a Sunday for a roast, which I assume is their busiest day. Although the staff were great and very apologetic for the long 45min/1hr wait on both occasions, the food quality wasn’t great. It states on the menu it comes with veg, I had one green bean and one tiny boiled carrot on one occasion, and all the plates it just seemed very lacking for the price we were paying. On the other occasion we had the Barnsley chop, and it was so tough our arms were sore from trying to cut it. It’s a great pub, and a place I love to bring visitors and previous years it has been better, so I hope it can improve.

The menu for this pub is huge and I was worried that quality wouldn't match up. However, we both had burgers which were really good. Freshly prepared and nice and meaty, no complaints whatsoever. Accompaniments were good quality and plentiful. Very impressed. I have taken one star off for the wine though - there was no price list so I just chose randomly but accidentally ended up with a medium and then small glass of wine which together cost £18, which seemed very steep to me. We'd visit again but this time I'd make sure I saw a price list before ordering! Service is friendly and it's always full so make sure you book a table.

Just called in for a pint , was all very lovely

Good place nice attentive staff and well worth a drink in the Drovers Inn

Fantastic pub in Grassington, very welcoming with our two dogs( yes I did use disinfectant wipes on the table before we left) lovely food and a bloody good pint. Always our first stop when in the Dales

Spacious clean and efficient. Nice fire and good of them to remember Tetley at the altar of their own great beers. Good looking menu. Managed house margin control when it came to fruitcake and cheese portion

Fairly disappointed after hearing good things about Devonshire as a ‘brand’. We went on a warm autumn day after a walk with the puppy. We sat in the dog friendly indoor section, warm greeting and lovely seating area. We ordered a few meals and waited quite a while. We ordered a chicken and bacon sandwich that was absolutely caked in mayo, so couldn’t taste anything else. The chilli was ok, with a nice addition of warmed tortillas rather than the usual ‘Doritos’, but the kids fish was overcooked leaving it fairly chewy. The Cajun fries were really nice but completely overpriced for a small tub of seasoned chips. Really loved the day out in Grassington, but will make try a different place to eat next time.

Lovely setting. Helpful staff. Very popular, with a good outside area.

Very good dinner, and fantastic service .........Thank you so much.

Nice pub for a drink at the end of a walk

You will have seen this place on All Creatures Great and Small, aka the Drovers Arms. Great atmosphere good beer.

There's a smell of bleach when you go into the pub which is clearly from the cleaning products they use, that said the food was great, I would like to return for more excellent food but not until they have started using food safe antibacterial products to clean there tables and food areas. Was also given a wet menu , which just makes the experience poor.

Booked in for dinner. Nice busy cosy restaurant and seen too quickly. I asked for the wine list. There were names of wine on the wall with a letter but no prices. Ordered food and was told the wine list was being printed off because it had the wrong price on. Twenty minutes later and still no wine list I was again asked if I wanted to order the wine. The waitress said I’d need to wait for the list if I wanted to know any prices before ordering it ? ? ? which I did. Anyway soon a list came. Just names , no maker, region, description, ABV. just a (quite high) price. Anyway I then ordered keen to crack on. Service friendly, food tasty enough and ok. Overpriced really but choca block none the less.

The staff and service were excellent. Friendly but efficient. Great atmosphere. Food delicious, fairly priced. Nothing too much trouble. Only thing was it was looking a wee bit tired, perhaps consider a fresh lick of paint. The room however was clean and comfortable!

I've been in this pub loads of times for drinks and food and am never disappointed. Food is delicious and well cooked, staff are lovely and friendly and always have time for a chat. Dogs welcome too. I've seen some reviews talk about the price of drinks, but higher prices are pretty standard in the national parks. You want cheap rubbish, stick to chains and inner cities. Great selection of drinks and food at the Devonshire, plus the pub frontage appears on All Creatures Great and Small, so if you're a fan, take a peek!

Absolutely amazing place, staff brilliant, food above excellent, prices good too !

We were staying in Grassington for the Bank Holiday, and due to the awful weather abandoned our walk and adjourned to the Devonshire for drinks. Being a Bank Holiday Sunday, the pub was very busy with lots of people dining. The drinks prices though! It looks very similar to a Weatherspoons when you walk in, but there the resemblance ends. We live in an expensive part of Yorkshire, where at our local (not a Spoons) we pay for a pint of Moretti/San Miguel and a medium glass of white wine around £10.50. Here at the Devonshire exact same drinks £16.50! Got talking to some locals, and they get a hefty discount with a locals loyalty card, so clearly this overpricing is squarely aimed at tourists. It's a 3 star establishment charging 5 star prices.

Stayed at the Devonshire over the Bank Holiday weekend, great time,room excellent,staff extremely friendly and helpful and made us feel right at home and the beer 🍺 is pretty good aswell

Stopped in for a late lunch/early dinner. Beer and glass of wine was the best of the meal. We had the filled Jackets and Cola Ribs. The potato and filling was luke warm at best and needed some seasoning. The ribs were dry and overcooked. Whole meal was below average including the service. Don't waste your time or money

Had a wonderful stay and a lovely meal at night in the pub itself , the food it's fairly price with a great menu and the staff are very good .. The room we had was number 4 and it was spotless had a lovely window seat and the decor was beautiful ,very clean couldn't fault a thing . Look forward to my next visit 😊

We stayed at the hotel for 2 nights and couldn’t fault the service, facilities and food. Amazing lovely staff, fantastic location and an extensive menu, all cooked to perfection! Can’t recommend this place enough.

Only used the bar.. nice but a little pricey.

Really nice place friendly staff good food and great beer 🍻

Had lunch on busy saturday. Staff very nice. Decent selection of beer. Food very good

An excellent pub, to have a drink, charming, smiling staff, thanks to one of the waiters for finding us a table. But that’s not what English cuisine is!!! chicken supreme and risotto, lacking in flavor., a shame for the restaurant side. He's a Frenchman, who likes to eat which only involves his personal appreciation. But go there, good address full of kindness.

Great food Great value Excellent staff.

Great pub with some lovely staff. food is seriously lacking though, Witherspoon's style pub grub at best, paired with ridiculous prices for the quality.

Only drank here, but a lovely place

Made to feel very welcome. Drinks good made my Dog very welcome

Lovely place, good coffee and nice food! 👌😇

Staying nearby for a week in 5he touring caravan and had lunch here soaking up the atmosphere.

A wonderful pub with great food and excellent service with extremely helpful and friendly staff

Not been for a while as the menu had become a little jaded, but the new menu is extensive and has something for everyone. My wife and I had hanging kebabs (prawn and steak), which were v tasty. My brother and his wife had steaks and they said they were v well cooked. Good pints of real ale on tap from Timothy Taylors brwery. Staff were friendly, efficient and informative.

Doing james herriot tour, met a beautiful dog in the pub very friendly, best part of the day

Excellent food and great staff.

We went to The Devonshire for food on 2 nights and had mixed experiences. On both nights we could not fault the staff, super friendly and attentive. Food first night was great but poor on second night. They have a great selection on the menu and the prawn skewers were delicious. On the second night I had the ribs, they were overcooked and fatty. The girl did reduce the bill which was something. It’s worth a visit but be prepared to wait a little while for your food and keep your fingers crossed it’s not overcooked!

Nice, old fashioned hostelry, very pleasant staff.

Stopped here for food after a long walk. Very busy when we arrived but managed to get a nice table outside in the sun. Nice menu and went inside to order. There was two groups of people so we ordered separately but within a few minutes of each other. 25 mins later some of the food came out (from the first group that ordered) Ten mins later I went inside to ask how long our food would be and was told it was 'next out'. After an hour our food finally arrived! (And our friends had already long finished eating their meals) There was no real apology for the long wait, and I can only assume they somehow missed our order and only started cooking it once I went in to ask about it. I ordered the 'smash burger' which was ok. However the meat itself was dry and it was not definitely not a smash burger. Please do not call it a smash burger if it's not smashed! It was just 2 small patties of regular burger thickness with a lot of really lovely cheese on top. The thick chips were very nice but sorry to say I've had much better burgers for a cheaper price elsewhere. Not a great first impression and will try a different restaurant in town next time.

Had a late lunch on Saturday, 4 friends enjoying a day out. Food was good and the service was excellent. Will come again. Thank you

10.75 for a small bottle of Prosecco. No way!!! London prices - in fact London would be cheaper!! We had a pint of pint of lager and small bottle of Prosecco price £17.25! I’m still I. Shock hence my review. Establishments should not be able to get away with these prices!

Drop in for lunch. Had a good time here with friendly and the staff were helpful

Eh up veterinary not here but I am. Pie and mash please, eee grand

Went here for a meal with my family, we booked a table and from the moment we walked through the door the service was terrible. Not a single member of staff greeted us in fact they blatantly ignored us stood at the door. We continued through to the bar that was not overly busy but still seemed to take a while to get served. Eventually got our table which was only available for a set period of time , the food was poor and over priced the table service didn't even exist had to find someone to ask for condiments for my children and waited nearly 30 minutes for our plates to be moved and a desert menu.left feeling really brassed off and let down. I must stress that it wasn't busy and therefore the service should have been brilliant. Went to the black horse the night before amazing service fantastic food and no time limit on your table.

Had a meal only food was excellent staff staff were very friendly and helpful

Great atmosphere, dog friendly, large choice of beers, good quality and quantity of food ( dog meals too ) friendly staff and close to country park and plenty of walks. Will defo try and get back. Didn't know that it was the Drovers Arms in the series All Creatures Great And Small, which was being set up whilst we were there.

Paid £16 for a Pint of Landlord, Half a Pepsi and a small Fruit Shoot???

We've stayed here twice now and loved it both times. The staff are very welcoming, the rooms are gorgeous and well equipped and the food is nothing less than perfection. The Sunday lunch is a good size and well tasty but the pies are beyond expectation. We love coming here and will keep coming back.

A pretty chaotic experience if I’m being honest! I walked into the place and the staff seemed stressed out with how rammed the place was. I asked a waitress if I could be seated - she said ‘sorry, I’m really busy right now’. When I was eventually seated, it was on the aisle - where people were walking/running up and down! I just wanted to sit and eat in peace! I asked to move and they were nice enough to seat me somewhere a bit more comfortable. My drink and meal came in good time and the food was actually pretty good. I had a clear view of the bar and the mishaps that followed! Several tables were waiting a long time for their meals, a few customers came to the bar staff asking where their food was. From what I heard, I don’t think one of the waiters put the food order through for one table. I feel like the staff probably needed a stiff drink after today. They look overworked and unable to cope with the demand. Management need to sort it out. Not the quiet, idyllic pub you expect in such a beautiful village.

Lovely welcome, nice food, quick Service and reasonably priced. We sat outside and there was a nice buzz

Came here whilst staying in Grassington for the weekend hoping to have a few drinks. We ordered 2 double gin and tonics which came to £22.50! When we questioned the expensive pricing we were just told "welcome to Yorkshire". We then heard that tourists were charged more expensive pricing than locals so won't be returning.

Been for food a couple of times. Never disappointed. Good food, great service from friendly staff. Warm and friendly atmosphere.

Went in for last orders after staying elsewhere in Grassington (which is beautiful and well worth the visit). We had our dog with us. It was pretty busy, as there was a quiz on that we could hear from the square (more on that in a bit). As it was gone 10pm it was a bit chilly out so we decided to find a space inside. There was one room that was suspiciously quiet so I thought that must be a restaurant so I looked all round the wall, doorway for any sign that it was food only. Couldn't see one. Asked the two tables that were sat in there, they didn't know. A staff member came up to us and said can I help so I asked if we could sit in there. He shooed us out sharpish saying, 'Not with a dog, ABSOLUTELY NOT!' Personally, I feel a 'No, sorry' would have been sufficient. Now not sure I wanted to stay, he gestured to a table in front of the quiz master. It was very loud there as it was in front of the speaker as well as the quizmaster. I said it was a bit loud there and the guy dead eyed me and said 'There's a quiz on, love'. Omfg. PATRONISING. Like I said, we knew before we went in. My point was the table was front and centre to the speakers. Anyway, he walked away, obviously uninterested in wether we stayed or left - we left. Blighted an otherwise wonderful trip to the Dales and the beautiful market town of Grassington. Doubly disappointing as we'd been looking forward to going to the Devonshire. Don't let it put you off going to Grassington. We went to other super welcoming places there and it's gorgeous (shout out the Black Horse which was fabulous).

For me it was the meal that spoilt our visit 18/05/2021. I had the bacon burger and for £16 I had expected something a little more different than the usual shop bought burgers. However I believe this is what I got, there was nothing inspiring to draw us back again. Quite expensive for what we got and the quality was only average.

Had originally booked for 2019, but Covid delayed our stay and bike ride. Kirsty and the team were great changing our dates and generally looked after us. The bar had a great atmosphere, with Timothy Taylors an added bonus. We ate in the restaurant and the food was top notch and plentiful. Just what you needed after a hard day In the saddle. Thanks again Kirsty for your attention….we will be back !

Great welcome, service, food and drink. Highly recommend, good Covid precautions, will be back again soon 👍🏻😃🍺

Passing through Grassington in the way home, we stopped here for Sunday lunch, no booking required. Staff were very accommodating and helpful and we got a table in the small beer garden at the back, covid regulations observed. Food was very good and service was prompt and friendly. Glad we stopped, it was a really nice meal.

Always a warm and friendly welcome here from Matt, Kirsty and their team. The menu has a great choice of locally sourced and very tasty food and the staff are so welcoming without being invasive. Looking forward to returning soon.

I attended the Devonshire in Grassington with 5 of my friends yesterday afternoon (outside of course) following the new restrictions, we ordered our food - starters and mains. Firstly, they brought all our food out together (starters and mains) and when we addressed this situation they basically said tough. So we had to sit there with our sandwiches going stale and our chips going cold whilst we ate our starter. I think this is appalling when it was them who messed up. Secondly, a waiter spilt a drink over one of my friends and no apology was given, in fact he said ‘maybe you shouldn’t of grabbed that beer off that tray’. He was very rude and unpleasant. One waiter was very lovely and pleasant and apologetic - which we all appreciated. A tall young man with glasses. After this we were asked to leave (which yes I understand) and have no qualms about but when we have been asked to leave (not offered a pudding of any sort) when people inside (clearly not from the same household) can sit all afternoon and not be questioned or asked to leave. I think it’s a joke. I definitely won’t be returning. Appalling. I think if we had been of an older age group we wouldn’t have had this service. Seems unfair.

Stopped for lunch after a long muddy walk and were welcomed with good service and a lovely lunch - very polite and competent staff - clean and covid safe . Hot beef sandwich and haddock fish cakes exceeded expectations . Will definitely make a return visit .

We went for a drink at this pub and didn't like the lack of physical distancing. It felt like a busy pub with lots of people crammed in. The managers were not wearing masks, the staff were. However, if a person in hospitality can't wear a cloth mask it would be better if they wore a face shield. If neither are possible then regular, obvious, hand sanitising and washing are a must.I was unimpressed by the management (or those who appeared to be the people who were in charge. The lady behind the bar, who wasn't wearing a face covering, picked her nose and then poured a pint.

Excellent service and food and service. The portions were decent. The room were well catered for. All round a great time.

We love The Devonshire and find it great for a drink but have to admit we havent eaten there for a while because we were a bit disappointed last time (a couple of years ago). However..something has changed because we had a delicious meal there last night. Four in our party, each had a different meal and we were all impressed. Staff were cheerful and accommodating, and the surroundings and decor cant be faulted. Lovely Dales pub.

A very welcoming and friendly pub, with a delicious choice of food, well spaced tables, and dog friendly. We really enjoyed our lunch here, and it was very covid safe, with procedures being followed. Made our visit to Grassington really enjoyable.

Had a ‘specials’ Thursday night meal of 2 steaks and a bottle of wine for £40. Steak was cooked to perfection and very tasty. Wine was good too. Very filling really enjoyed.

Walking in the Grassington area today and by chance as we walked through Grassington it was lunchtime. Instead of the packed lunch in our rucksack we decided to sit outside on the benches with our dog. The covid precautions were excellent and the method of ordering was very very clear. Other pubs should learn!.We ordered two roast beef lunches. The plate was the size of a Mexican sombrero! A heap of mash and swede with delicious gravy soaked carrots. Roast parsnips and roast potatoes. The waitress then say she will bring the veg out! Another plate with cauli cheese, cauliflower, baby corn, broc and mange tout arrives. Piping hot and delicious. It really was excellent. It's not the cheapest lunch but in our view well worth it.The only downside was it was really hard walk to get walking again to continue our journey! Service was excellent and just the right amount of attentiveness.Thanks

Went in for evening meal. We got a very friendly welcome and were shown to out table. House rules for covid compliance were explained, basically everything was table service. don't get up and wander around except to go to toilet and if you do, wear a face covering. All pretty sensible and a good balance of safety and convenience. Food was good quality pub fare and the service was great. What more do you want?

Very warm welcome and seated straight away. COVID secure and track and trace at table. Food was fantastic. I had fish finger butty and my wife hade Thai bean burger. food was amazing, had skin on fries with crispy salad too. Great value, great service. Highly recommend.

Went in for breakfast as we stayed overnight at a local BnB who weren't doing breakfasts due to Covid We had porridge and toast The staff very polite and helpful Looked a nice place for meals Would probly go again if in the area

....and provider of drinks during dinner as the local Indian opposite does not have a licence. Following social distancing, we were seated and our order taken. Very good and reasonably priced, nice decor and plenty of screening in place to keep you safe.

Excellent food and friendly service .booked our table each night very covid secure bella our dog rendered visiting last year and turned in on our way up to the cottage made most welcome

Popped in while staying in Grassington. A good selection of beers and a warm welcome. Covid 19 disciplines were evident signing in , one way system etc.

What a Fabulous hotel, pub and settings, staff and everything about it fantastic. Will definitely visit again.

We visited this excellent Tim Taylor’s pub twice! Once for lunch and once for Dinner. Food was hot, fresh and very tasty. Service was punctual, efficient and friendly.Everything from the welcoming service to the great beer, makes this place a must stop when in Grassington!

Had a lovely meal, only the soggy chips let it down. Beer was really fresh, the best pint we have had since well before lockdown, staff all wore masks or visors,and were very friendly and knowledgable, have already booked for another day.

Quality English Fayre on the menu. Unlike many other places currently they have kept to the full menu. The landlord and serving staff are second to none with their helpfulness etc. Covid measures all in place and plenty of space from table to table. A choice of real ales available, too.

Visiting the lovely village and decided to have lunch here which was very nice. I had the vegi pizza and hubby had fish finger sandwich. When we entered the pub we had to fill out our contact details which was good but I felt that the staff should have been wearing masks when taking orders from us and other customers. The tables were not spaced out enough either and we had a family of 4 put right next to us which made us feel uncomfortable. The pub is lovely and staff very friendly but I do feel that masks would have made us feel safer.

We called in for a Sunday roast and were very pleased with it. Most roasts I’ve had in pubs tend to be not as good as I can do myself, but here the beef was good quality and tender and the Yorkshire pudding was excellent. Our cheesecake dessert was also better than most. Service was good, tables reasonably separated and the place felt clean and safe.

Visited with family. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Excellent menu that catered for different dietary needs. Cauliflower starter and mussels were delicious. The cheese pie was absolutely delicious served with chunky chips, veg and gravy. The ham and eggs with chips went down well also. Great atmosphere and Covid friendly. A great pub in a fabulous village. All Creatures Great and Small is filmed here. Loved it! Keep up the good work.

Before I explain our meal I have to say that the staff were good. I ordered pork belly and my husband ordered mince and onion pie with triple cooked chips. The rind on my belly pork was soft and there was only a tiny piece of meat at one end of it, the rest was a pure block of fat. I know belly pork is fatty but apart from the small piece of meat at the end it was pure fat. I sent it back and ordered smoked haddock fishcakes instead. Unfortunately, there was a lot of black fish skin in both cakes. My husbands pie was way overcooked, pastry very hard and meat dry (we think the pie was triple cooked as well as the chips). Maybe we were just very unlucky.

Giving an average review as been twice and the first time it was good and the second time it was below average. Son’s food was really terrible.... do not order the chicken strips which is basically a very dried up piece of chicken sliced up. I did feedback but they were not interested at all. Never seen anything like it tbh.... I would’ve been embarrassed to bring it out......No one seems too fussed.... it’s just very ‘ok’ but kind of wished we had just taken a picnic and saved our money.Will not return and there are some other great places in the village.A shame but there you go..... they need to step it up a notch or 5

We decided to call at Grassington yesterday and was very impressed with the food , the fish and chips were beautifully cooked and well presented by very polite staff ...

We visited for a birthday meal and everything was absolutely perfect! Wonderful warm welcome, friendly staff and a delicious meal in a warm restaurant. Thank you very much for a wonderful evening.

Whilst Saying at other accommodation in the village our breakfast was provided by The Devonshire. During our three night stay we ate breakfast three times, dinner (lunch) once and tea (dinner) three times. It was all very good and apart from a little bit of tin foil on my crème brûlée we couldn't fault it.There is a good selection of drinks and snacks at the bar and Covid measures were well implemented with a good balance between safety and maintaining a pub like atmosphere. The pub is well presented and has ample seating to accommodate the numerous visitors including outside to the front and rear.We found the hosts, Kirsty and Matt friendly, helpful, patient and professional in their dealings with customers in sometimes very busy and challenging situations. The public can be very unforgiving at times. Nick and Steve behind the bar are a credit to the place and provided great service and a welcoming approach finding time despite never stopping, to chat and laugh with everyone who took the time to do so. The rest of the staff went about their days with a smile on their faces always willing to help.For such a busy place in these challenging times we couldn't fault it. Just plan ahead, book your table and consider how hard people are working to ensure you can go out and enjoy yourself.Thank you to all the team for helping to make our stay such a good one. We'll probably stop there too next time we visit!

Booked table for 5 . Dreadful food !’burger was burnt which we returned only to be told all burgers looked like that ?!?! veggie burger very dry managers attitude leaves something to be desired ! Waitress asked if all ok with meal when we said no she just walked away wouldn’t go again. Wouldn’t advise anyone to visit there .

I don’t understand why so many reviewers give five stars to ordinary decent pub grub. There is nothing wrong with average, excellent should be reserved for really outstanding food and service, which is not something to be expected in an ordinary decent pub. We fancied a dessert instead of a starter so ordered a garlic pizza bread as a starter to tide us over, but it was under-cooked and stodgy. Main courses were haddock fishcakes which were mostly potato, and scampi which was - just scampi. My wife enjoyed a nice crème brûlée and my cheeseboard was very good. With a bottle of wine and a gin & tonic the bill was less than £80. Very average.

Dog friendly restaurant. We went in at 11.30 am for coffee and cake. We were asked to sign in as per coronavirus instructions. Had a lemon drizzle cake which was superb i could have eaten it again, my son had caramels cake which was also good. Tea and coffee hot, staff very friendly. Highly recomended

Had a fabulous stay during Covid 19, hosts Kirsty and Matt were on the ball with keeping everyone safe. Food excellent and catered for our Staffy. Would deffo go back.

Managed to have a delayed 2 night stay thanks to C-19 restrictions being lifted. Mat & Kirsty very welcoming as were all of the staff. Drink great, food great, rooms great-looked after us plus small dog very well. No complaints at all but some might find having to park in pay & display a 5 mins walk away but we were lucky parking in the square opposite

We visited Grassington for the weekend and this is where we ended up every day. Clean, very attentive bar staff and you can always subtly here the landlord checking up on staff and customers (in a good way), decent variety of drinks on offer from Timothy Taylor Ales to mainstream Lagers and a well stocked spirits shelf.We ate here one night, my wife had pork belly on creamy mash and I had the biggest pot of mussels I've had for a long time in a creamy sauce with skin on fries and crusty bread. Prices were extremely reasonable and portion sizes you will not go hungry!!!

Outdoor tables thoughtfully segregated into a smoking and non-smoking half, plus indoor bar and dining room areas. Well balanced homemade herby tomato soup, the mains of lamb shank & belly pork came inclusive of 6 different accompanying veg. We were happy with the veg, though my mother would have preferred longer cooking for a softer consistency The apple with the belly pork had a subtle flavour from the black pudding. Choice of 5 Timothy Taylor real ales, 50 gins etc. Mat, Kirsty and waitresses friendly, welcoming and efficient. Well managed re covid. A great meal, good value at full price, but we were happy to take the £10 'eat out to help out'

Really lovely team who are happy to help with your every need. The room was spacious, really nicely decorated and it’s quiet which was surprising as it faced the square.

Welcoming but with limitations. The menu is extensive and it will cater for all, a great travellers stop-off in this small village. Food was really nice and service was good too, nothing too amazing, but the it’s worth a go!

Covid safe visit to this pub on a dull day in Grassington. Very organised on arrival a hand sanitiser machine with touch screen device to enter your details, name and contact number. Staff were organised and courteous. We sat in a corner of one of the eating rooms with just one other party also present but sat at a good distance from us. The lunch menu had a nice selection of traditional dishes with sandwiches so plenty of options. James our waiter was very efficient and brought everything to the table along with cutlery and condiments, drinks etc. We felt safe the whole time there and I would recommend The Devonshire to anyone who wants to venture out for a meal in safe surroundings when visiting the Grassington area.

Pre lock down stay in Grassington. Called in here twice for drinks and once for breakfast. Very friendly, cosy pub. One lunch time and one evening drinks. Both visits good atmosphere. Nice breakfast to end our trip too.

So nice to be back in our Dev. There is no need for any anxiety. All the recommended safety precautions are in place, and Mat is manning the door to welcome and sign in the customers, and to make sure no one comes inside without there being a table available for them. Locals are all greeted by name, as usual, and visitors are most warmly welcomed and made to feel at home. I had the roast lamb Sunday lunch, which was plentiful, tasty, and came with six of my five a day, plus the lovely crispy roast potatoes. No room for pudding, unfortunately. I’ll just have to go another day for that, after a delicious home made soup perhaps, or I might have to go for a bargain under five pounds deal for coffee and a slice of one of their home made cake selection...... so many problems choosing what to have! The couple at the table next to me were sharing a wonderful looking pizza too..........

Nice pub, friendly staff, good food, great beer. A nice selection on the menu, not just the usual pub grub, well prepared. Half a dozen Timothy Taylor beers as well.
