The Devonshire Inn in Craven

Unfortunately, the worst meal I've ever had at a Weatherspoons. Gourmet steak for me and char grilled chicken for my wife. Both sent back as being tough and uneatable. I suspect these had been pre-cooked and warmed up. The replacements were marginally better but not much. Very dissapointed.

This venue perhaps needs an overhaul in decorating but the food is amazing value for money A very extensive menu selection and three of us chose the fish,chips and mushy peas special offer which was exceptional and great value for money.You can understand why it’s always very busy.

It's a Weatherspoons, cheap food at a fair price nothing special. Clean building and polite staff. They are all the same . You get what you pay for .

We have had breakfast and lunch in here a few time and it has always been adequate. Today we went for 3 of the small plates offer 2 pizzas and a portion of loaded chips. The pizzas were not very good. The mushroom on one of them was completely cold and raw and most of the cheese wasn’t even melted. The same goes for the loaded chips. It’s a shame as it has put us for going there again.

Absolutely terrible. Management awful. Ordered beans on toast for my daughter and myself at £3.99 each. Had to ask for some more beans which came in a small pot for us both, whilst waitin the others went cold! Picture shows with extra beans! When I spoke to the manager she was very dismissive and said that’s our portions. Wrote to head office who were equally unhelpful and said they would speak to staff. I have been to a lot of their establishments and this is by far the worst one. I would avoid and go to one of the nice cafes in the area.

Went to this weatherspoons one Saturday lunchtime,it was very busy but we managed to get a table outside,we ordered the drinks on the weatherspoons app and they came within five minutes and the server was very friendly,we would definitely visit again next time in skipton.

Been here a few times and it’s a typical spoons, a mix of clientele. The one thing I felt let’s this down is the cleanliness. When we arrived to sit outside there were full ashtrays, empty glasses on tables, just didn’t look good. I wonder if it’s lack of staff as they all seemed rushed off their feet.

Five of us went for evening diner - found seating - ordered our food. Two had curry & rice etc -one had lasagne and two of us had sirloin steak - medium rare with salad. For drinks 2 pints of beer - one still orange - one medium rose wine & one slimline tonic. The drinks were not bad although we had to return the orange as it had little taste & they doubled the amount of cordial. However the food was served on stone cold plates and so was quickly cooled. The two steaks were nearer rare than medium/ rare and had so much gristle in them that most was uneatable and so was left. Now what is more annoying is that not one member of staff came to see if we were happy with our experience etc. which we were not - we should have gone to the bar & asked for a refund for the two steaks but didn’t want to embarrass the 80 year old lady who’s treat it was. The occasion was spoiled and so we will not be returning to Wetherspoons.

Went here on 25th March 2024 at 17.15 for evening meal just after work. We have done a Monday evening quite regularly, but are always disappointed. The food is normally cold. We thought well it cannot get any worse, well it just has. We ordered two 10oz Gammon Steaks. The eggs were inedible. The whites were raw. We ate part of the meal, we didn't send the meal back for fear of the replaced meal being (contaminated). We won't be eating at Wetherspoons Skipton for the foreseeable future.

This is a HUGE pub and it is located along a road running off the main street. I ordered a traditional breakfast with accompanying coffee. The meal was quickly served and tasted fine. If some of the internal walls could be removed (difficult, I know) this would really open up the pub and improve the views inside. A pleasant experience in a tidy and clean pub.

We needed to pass a bit of time before our coach came to pick us up so we came here for lunch. I had the tuna mayo jacket with salad and my husband had the fish and chips, I must say his fish looked good, very white and fresh. We enjoyed what we had and it was a good portion with the added free drink. I can't understand why the coffees vary in price at the Wetherspoons, here it was £1-56p and in Lancaster it was £1-04p. Friendly staff doing their job .

Barman Jordan was superb, chatty smiled n so helpful, a change from most weatherspoons staff,can't praise him enough ,he was super nice I hope his manager appreciates him

Dirty tables ,very cold ,a very small fire which had burnt down and no attempt to restock it despite a stack of logs next to it .As a frequent visitor to various weatherspoons in the area this has got to be the worst .Food ok but no good when you have to try and keep warm .Also just been refurbished?doesn't look any different.very disappointing.

Don't think the barstaff (Freya) knows how to smile! Ordered a pint and got 3/4 had to ask for it to be topped up which she did with bad grace. Worst service I've ever had in a wetherspoons pub

The room was too cold. As usual, the air con wastoo cold. My wife’s baked beans were equally cold. I ate the mixed grill easily. Tiny portions of meat, no onion rings, about ten chips. I was still hungry so had the fish and chips and the smallest portion of mushy peas imaginable. Surely the fish is the expensive item. Why is Wetherspoons trying to save money on cheap things like chips and peas?

Eaten here a few times it was good but today 23 August we ordered 2 traditional breakfast everything was cold we told the waitress and she brought very small ramekin with more hot beans the portion was minute

I was so disappointed this time as my plate was cold when it came and my food was very cold soon after, I didn't eat it and spoke to a waiter who just laughed, I said it's nor funny and when I write to Tim Martin he wont be happy. He just left. Not good at all, another woman said hers was the same. You can't serve hot food on a cold plate.

This is a Wetherspoons and so the drinks are great value for money, the staff were very friendly but no idea why someone can’t sweep the outside and generally tidy the place up. It could be so much better.

We went for a lunchtime drink, they had a good selection of drinks and we enjoyed the ones we ordered. Having seen some of the food they were serving, we decided to go back later to dine. The food we were served could have been much better. When the food arrived at our table it wasn’t hot and the egg on my mixed grill had what can only be described as a skin. The reason for the food not being hot could partly be my fault as I originally gave the wrong table number. When I realised, I did go back and correct it and a minute later our food arrived. If the food had been stood due to the table mix up I caused, surely they should have realised and re-heated the food before serving it. We were asked if our food was alright and I did explain it was cool at best etc. We were offered a replacement egg but I declined as we were in a rush. To be honest, we should have known better, as food in Weatherspoon’s as deteriorated of late. Family and friends that have eaten at different Weatherspoon’s have all noticed the same. We assume that they are trying to keep within a price point or increase profits or both.

We had 2 evening meals here. Fish and chips are superb along with the spicy chicken and a curry. Fairly clean pub with great staff

On a Sunday evening, the place wasn’t busy so you would expect the food to be piping hot. Nope all luke warm. Will not return.

We came for breakfast one day and as usual it was very good so we came another day for brunch which was as good so came for our evening meal which was brilliant. Would always use a Wetherspoons as we enjoy and food always good. Thanks guys

Extremely busy, but service was good (waitress cleared our table fr us to sit at). Food usual standard and atmosphere friendly

Stayed for an organised coach trip here for the Xmas markets, for breakfast, there was alot of us and service was excellent soon as we walked in our pre order was ready, all food piping hot, good quality, value for money, place was clean staff friendly love the self service hot drinks machine , very busy and staff friendly quick , superb service. Will definitely visit again.

You can never complain about a good spoons! Food was great value for money and as a vegetarian I always feel like there is a lot of variety and I can get really anything I fancy which is nice. Staff were polite and helpful as we hadn’t been to this particular venue before so overall couldn’t fault it!

Visited on busy bank holiday Monday but there was plenty of room at this Wetherspoon pub. As it was a nice day we were able to eat outside, a pleasant experience. The meal was very good value, and wholesome. Wiltshire ham, 2 free-range fried eggs, and chips. I enjoyed a pint of lager with it. I had to inform the waitress that the dining plate was cold, but that was after I’d consumed the meal.

Great Wetherspoons example, modern deco, large exterior seating area. Usual drinks and food offerings at good prices. Efficient friendly staff. Good atmosphere for a Wednesday lunchtime, it was a lovely sunny day in September and a busy market day in Skipton.

Feels grotty inside. Tables had been wiped. But the cloth looked fairly grim. To the point where it wasn't worth using it. Went for breakfast for my sons birthday as he loves the porridge. My wife and I order breakfasts. They arrive on cold plates with clap cold food. My toast was burnt on one side and served burnt side down! Like I wouldn't notice. The staff did do some more toast but that was cold when it arrived. 15 quid for food I didn't enjoy, really disappointed. But the coffee is nice. Won't be rushing back anytime soon. ☹☹☹

Lots of space inside and out. Great selection of cask ales at great prices. Decent service. Great location.

Just came for drinks as had never been in here before during my regular trips to Skipton, More tasteful than I expected with numerous little areas so it doesnt feel like the massive venureit actually is. Nicely kept and served larers and beers at value for money prices youde expect from a Spoons. Would I return? yes, I think I would.

Visited for tea with family. Lots of dishes not available- no curries at all, no fish, loads of kids meals missing. The tables were all sat with dirty dishes on them and we had to clean our own - catching covid was the least of our worries! However, the food did arrive quickly and as always it was cheap and cheerful - you get what you pay for. It served a purpose

Had a large mixed grill and when it arrived it was missing the onion rings but no one even bothered to tell me just gave me it without and when I asked they said they didn't have any left. Would have been bothered but nice to have been told before hand.

Was looking forward to my first visit in ages due to Covid. On entering I was pleasantly surprised to see it had been redecorated. Eagerly looking forward to my breakfast I was very disappointed as when I started to eat the breakfast it had been served on a cold plate and was lukewarm. I’m sure had it been hot I would have thoroughly enjoyed it. Please make sure that your staff make sure that the food is hot before serving. Also it would be an idea that they checked with customers to make sure everything is ok as they do at Ilkley Wetherspoons.

Called in at random after a long day in the Dales. This is a very large pub with a lot of rooms and features, including an excellent seating area out front. We order three meals and three drinks for £20 which is unbeatable! The food arrived in 10 minutes to the table. How can you possibly go wrong?

After a particularly fantastic weekend glamping in a local village, I decided to give this establishment my patronage for a quick refreshment before my journey home. I sat peacefully and scrolled through the spoons magazine trying to pick out the pubs I have visited in the past (as I am not a Wetherspoon novice!) All of a sudden my life was turned upside down. The coffee machine queue grew with people wanting to take the establishments fantastic value offer up on their cuppas. A lady charged from the kitchen so angrily shouting at the other patrons for not queuing correctly that I could even feel the yolks of the fried eggs on the plates she carried burning a hole into my soul. Now, I understand she may have been very busy but being a sensible human who doesn’t drink non alcoholic beverages in a pub I didn’t feel I deserved such condemnation, especially from the produce. I could do nothing other than down my pint and run for my life. I highly praise all the other staff but I would recommend the angry kitchen lady applies for a place on the tv show gladiators? Is that still a thing, because apparently manners aren’t!?

This place is fantastic food quality was perfect hot and served super fast 2 pizzas plenty of chicken as a topping can’t knock Wetherspoons for value

Great Weatherspoons just off the Market Place. Really nice staff. Love the table service. Excellent choice of local ales. Premises is intersi, it's like a Tardis inside with rooms offshooting the main area. Worth a visit

The staff were friendly and the place was clean. That's the only good point from our visit. The food wasn't the best, soggy chips and thrown together sloppy burgers. Service was quick but that wasn't surprising giving the state of the food.

Called in for a few drinks while in Skipton. Nice cold pint. Nice big venue, all the relevant social distancing measures in place. But i'm sure would be a good night out when all back to normal. Decent Wetherspoons.

This is a typical Weatherspoons pub, a lovely old building, cheap menu and good selection of drinks. However, it is not particularly inviting due to tables being left uncleared.

Caravanning nearby so had to visit The Devonshire again. Unusual for a Bank Holiday it was a sunny day so we managed to get a table outside. We used to enjoy the spicy chicken wings as part of the Wednesday Chicken Day but they don't seem to do that now so shared three small plates between us, last time we did that we had three plates each which was too much. The 10 chicken wings were served with a spicy dip and a blue cheese dip and we had the 10 chicken breast bites served with soy sauce and the curry smothered chips for £10.95 but there were various other items to choose from. We used the Wetherspoon App to order and, although it was very busy, we were surprised that our drinks arrived after a few minutes and our meal very soon after.

Took a table on the patio placed order waited 45 minutes before been told dogs not allowed when plenty of other people served with dogs no problem. Told would have to wait 3 days for refund. Totally pissed off stick your weatherspoons up your arse. Waitress was a jobs worth

Nice food but unfortunately the staff were very rude and unhelpful. Ruined the atmosphere and the day overall. Would not recommend, stay away!

Have been here before the China Crisis and during it when they had labels that you put on the cards when you were ready to order, with GREEEN being for ready! Earlier this year; it did not work well then and we had to stop/ask for attention. Some people just ignored the system. If you sat nearer the bar you had more chance!Yesterday, it was worse. One has to use the app to gain attention. Have a look at the SUN newspaper today, where it was similar in Cardiff, just for beer. Food normally takes precedence in W/spoons! Eventually, after a few minutes we obtained the attention of a person, who went through the app...... exercise. At well over 70 one does not do apps, Ah, well, we will deal with you in due course. Twenty minutes later we left and went to a local hostelry where we stated that we did no do apps. No probs and we ate well.So, the lesson is, at least in Skipton, look for a smaller place with service.

Sign in rules, with covid! There is a system with a card which has green and red sides; good idea green for service and red for OK. Well OK but not used by all! Larger sign needed to emphasise? And, in the areas away from the bar the "green" is not always noticed, seemingly. So, one waits, separated from fellow diners by screens, which some novice diners seem to enjoy banging. Well two mature women did!However, when one has ordered service is fairly quick, with drinks delivered by one person and food by another. The menu is replete with such as: sausage & mash, paninis, fish and chips, and my son's favourite, Wiltshire Ham with chips etc. There was some confusion about how many drinks allowed. One guy, on the first of two visits in two consecutive days, checked with his boss, and informed us we could drink whilst food was on table, and have two more after plates collected. On the second day there seemed to be another protocol! Not a problem, after all our leaders "daarn sawth" are equally up the creek with scothc eggs in their tiny mits! The staff were, in spite of this, helpful and one could have a laugh, which is a blessing in these days blighted by early Xmas "presents" from our brethren in the East. I/we hope that on our next trip to Skipdale, as some of us name it, will be without the constraints of Covid.

Sometimes it only takes something small to make an impression and this was the case with Toni.It was as simple as I wanted a pint of Jaipur which was not showing on the App. Toni saw me scanning the bar and asked if she could help. She advised me to order one that was showing on the App and said that she would personally ensure that I got Jaipur - she did and delivered it to our table. She then did the same twice more, each time giving the impression that it was no trouble at all to her.Toni personally ensured that our visit to the Devonshire was an enjoyable one and she is a credit to Wetherspoons.Review written by Barry - Table 31 3 November 2020.

Visited here at lunchtime and had a lovely time. Visited again this evening and we experience was totally different. Ordered our drinks as usual via the app an od after 30 mins when people who arrived after us had been served we enquired at the bar about our order. Nobody (staff & management) seemed interested. In the end my boyfriend went to the bar and returned to our table with our drinks. Unfortunately the G&T Beefeater blood orange gin( that we've ordered in the past ) was a clear gin and when we queried it we were told to "smell it"!! Very disappointed!!

Just visited Wetherspoon's for the first time in ages, it went off for a while, poor food quality, and small portions. What a transformation, great table service, quick and on the ball. Food came impressively quick, plenty of it, great quality, and hot. Great staff. Well done. Visited Sunday 25/10/20 at 4pm

Good distancing, staff all with masks, track & trace forms, in one door out another. Good food , great prices. Staff, the females more friendly than the males, the lad who served us was miserable. Would visit again.

Called in for breakfast, found it clean and tidy. Staff were really friendly and welcoming. Would certainly visit again

Just spent a few days in Redcar and used the spoons there for three nights - what a contrast with this dump in Skipton. On the one night we went (OK it was Bank Holiday) it was scarily crowded and the staff had great difficulty in keeping the tables clear and clean let alone serve drinks and meals. . As for Covid requirements they were non existent, no details taken,social distancing - forget it. I don't blame the staff, indeed I sympathise,but the management clearly need to get one hell of a grip.

Average boozer overall, sombre atmosphere, average interior, okay service, good outside area, cheap beer.

just got back today from another great week in skipton,in this pub a few times during our stay.where to start first the whole place looks like it could do with a damm good clean.cobwebs hanging from the light fittings and window recesses,was in there on friday the hand sanitizer at the entrance was lying on the table broke and there was no rush to replace it by any member of staff.in the two hours we were there not once was any tables cleaned and glasses and plate were left for some time before being cleared by staff.the air conditioning system is filthy covered in dust as it was last year when we were there.will not be going in there again

I was absolutely stunned when l walked in. So dirty and run down. One young lady who worked there was very rude when l asked her what our table number was. Toilets were obviously not monitored for cleanliness and the outdoor area was disgusting. Wish l hadn't bothered ordering a drink because they came in the wrong glasses. Wouldn't recommend this bar to anyone as it does not reflect Wetherspoons at all. Such a shame to say its in such a beautiful area.

Was at Skipton for the day on a thursday and was just passing this weatherspoons and really i just wanted to use the toilet, we thought while here we shall have a bit to eat. I don't wear glasses and I just couldn't see the writing properly on the paper menu on table it was so small i had to lend my partners glasses to see it, even the older couple on other table couldn't read it. I Ordered a chicken bacon and cheese panini which was very nice would of been better with a bit side salad added on. Tablets, walls and the plastic divides were dirty even the toilets were a bit it all could do with a deep clean in my opinion. This guy i would say in his 30s very rude to other customers even when they talking to him he just walked away needs to get some training in customer service.

We stopped over in Skipton and visited here for drinks. The security staff were really friendly and allowed us to stay to finish our drinks instead of kicking us out. We visited the morning after and all enjoyed our breakfasts.

I know it's a wetherspoons pub and I know its what u pay for and I've been to some really nice weatherspoons pubs but this pub is just awful. We ordered on the app so we didn't have to get up and go to the bar. I young man came to our table with our knife, forks and drinks and throw them on the table. I haven't been to this pub before so I ask the man where the coffee machine was the reply was its over there near the bar his attitude was awful, even my two kids said that wasn't very nice!!!!! And that's coming from kids!!!! Food was cold when we got it, I asked the man if my daughter could have well done bacon he said it's already been cooked!!! What is so difficult about putting the bacon under the grill for an extra couple of minutes. If they were busy I would of completely understood but they weren't. Didn't feel comfortable about the cleaning and guide lines of the government which they didn't seen to follow either!!! Won't be going back they again definitely will not recommend to anyone!!!!

I attended Wetherspoons with some friends (5) and had to make our own way to our table. The table was disgusting, there was no sanitising seen anywhere in the premises. Soon after finding our table we were told we could not sit together and told we would have to sit on the table next to us which had not yet been clearer or sanitised. On my request for the table to be sanitised so we could be sat there, the waitress decided to tell me i was no longer welcome in the premises and told me to leave, instead of sanitising the table as expected. This was not only a terrible piece of customer service but also a huge breach of the coronavirus guidelines given to the hospitality sector. The rest of the hospitality sector in skipton are all working hard to keep themselves and their customers safe while Wetherspoons seem to be working off a different set of rules. Truly disgusting and i didn’t feel safe at all during our visit. Would not recommend!

Visited lunch time Saturday 18th July, both the bar and general staff where really great with both us and the ajoining table of customers. The beer was excellent and the food to a good standard. I llook forward to visiting soon.

Went in yesterday, no pens to sign in for track and trace, no social distancing with a packed pub,dirty tables,been going in here 25 years+worst I've ever seen it.

The manager clearly has too much power, as he scolded us for doing nothing wrong, we were made to feel very unwelcome and left before finishing our drinks. He deserves to be demoted or at least improve his customer service. will not be visiting again

Very slow service and not enough staff serving on. busy Friday afternoon. Dirty, sticky tables. Beer is decent.

On arrival the majority of tables were empty but full of dirty dishes and glasses. We moved these and asked for a cloth and I thought I had asked for a bar of gold with the look I got. Table service using the app was less than desired. Our drinks order came ok but the food came in drips and drabs we had to go to the bar to request most of our order again because it had been missed. The food was mediocre. It’s a very busy pub but not the best service as a restaurant. I would avoid if you want a peaceful pint and meal

Great priced beer and wine, but its quite a bare building inside, and the amount of noise is a little overbearing. Drink and move on!

I am sad to write my first and I hope only negative review. This is a standard Wetherspoons. My wife’s Scampi unfortunately had shell on it not a problem this happens. What concerned me was the lack of care from the manager. My wife had been not surprisingly put off eating the scampi and we were pushed for time so we could wait for more to be cooked.At which point he wandered off with no care whatsoever.

Stayed in Skipton again for a week and yes came in here most days for a snack drinks or a meal and it's a great place to be. The staff are always friendly and you can always get a seat as it's so big. The food is always good and Christmas menu was good, will be back when in the area, cheers guys and gals.

Weather Spoons Really DisappointedIn a company that I thought was showing the rest of the pubs in the UK how to give value for money, which they do but when it comes to theDevonshire Pub22 Newmarket StreetSkiptonNorth YorkshireBD23 2HRBe prepared to get value for money with appalling customer care.I dropped in for a meal with my family of five as we have done in a few Weather Spoon pubs around the country and always find it value for money and good food for the price. I fully understand that you pay for what you get and do not not expect restaurant quality food but as pub food goes its ok for the price. What I do not expect is bad attitude from staff and Chris the Manager who I called the next day to explain the situation that had occurred the previous day. He did not give an apology and did not care at all regarding my complaint which was as simple me asking for a replacement drink because the 1st glass was full of ice and only had an egg cup full of coke in it, I think its bonkers they were not prepared to change it?Come on Weather Spoons dont take the p....ss we no your cheap but surely you can afford to replace a glass of coke!

good food and drink as the usual from wetherspoon. nice to sit out in the summer on the front and see the world go by whilst having a drink

A group of 10 got kicked out because the staff couldn't handle a wooo when they dropped a glass on the floor, the group of 10 are all staff of a local pub in Skipton and deal with more than a wooo on a daily basis

Staff were very rude - tried to remove customers half an hour before advertised closing time. Bald discount moby member of staff threw my drink on the ground to force myself and my friends to leave. I will not return to this Witherspoon's or any soon as I have been turned off to the company from this interaction.

Grand building for this Wetherspoons. Used the app for the first time so didn’t really come across many staff apart from the one who served the food. We both had burgers which are substantial and good value for money - especially with alcoholic drink option price!

Lovely big wetherspoons. As usual very busy. Struggled to get a table and people were stood waiting for tables. Food and staff were fine. Would go again.

We were greeted warmly by Laura at the bar and during our 2-hour stay we were able to thank Chris the manager and Chris L, both of whom enhanced our whole experience with their politeness and courtesy. We shared the chicken bite starter - perfect - then my wife had the beef lasagne and I chose the BBQ chicken melt - both delicious. The Hardy's wine was excellent and amazing value at £10.49 a bottle, and we even got a free glass of wine with our selected meals. Whenever we visit Skipton we now make the Devonshire our first port of call. Thanks!

Large boozer. Average food. Good selection of beer. Can't go wrong at £1.99 a pint. Need more staff behind the bar at lunch time.

Great value breakfast options, especially with unlimited hot drinks.

Called for lunch and was pleasantly surprised as never been here before. Very imposing well kept building. Lovely seating area out front well maintained (bet it's lovely in the summer). Inside well kept and overall very clean. Knocked a mark off as there was a bit of rubbish on the floor which during our time on there wasn't dealt with.

Living on the coast a bit of a fish and chip expert. This deal on Friday of Large Cod, chips and peas with a drink was excellent value and cooked perfectly. The batter was some of the best and at a guess made with a good beer. Must say surprised an inland Yorkshire Dales Wetherspoons could produce near perfect fish and chips that many more expensive restaurants could do to sample and see how it is done. Great value and great service.

If you want reasonable food and drink at a good price, then this is the place. Situated just off the high street. Large building with several rooms where you can relax. Refillable coffee and tea. Large selection on the menu to suit all tastes. Friendly staff. Just the job.

As I had wandered around Skipton and struggled to find a place offering something I fancied for lunch, I chose a tried and tested favourite. The place was busy, but service was still good! I chose the Wiltshire Ham with eggs and chips.The food came very quickly. Soon polished it off! As the title says, ' Simple and Tasty'. Only thing that spoilt it is the price of soft Drinks.

It’s exactly what you would expect from a JD Wetherspoon pub. Cheap, average food.

Have visited before on other trips to the area, both food and drink were very good and welcome, close to the main street.

It just shows how staff make a difference.

We often visit Skipton and have a little pub crawl around the main Street, we were early this day so had a wander around the back streets and came across the Devonshire, we had a coffee and went back on the Main st, after a few drinks we returned and had the pizza and drink deal, pizza was great, very good value, glad we found you, we will be back.

We arrived here, on Saturday, what a stunning building as ever the food was of a good standard and the price speaks volumes Can easily recommend a visit

If you are an irresponsible parent that wants to allow your children to have free reign of the premises in running around screaming and laughing and annoying other patrons, then this is your ideal venue.

just back from a wek in skipton a few pints in the devonshire.prices good staff very efficent.tables were cleared and cleaned straight away.one niggle there is a air con system that covers the whole ceiling from one end of the bar to the other and it just blows cold air day and night so you are sitting in a draft all the time.the system is coverd in dust which is not very healthy.besides this a good bar good staff and reasonable prices.the best one yet on friday afternoon a young lad ordered a bag of crisps on the wetherspoon app nothing else just crisps.

The staff are polite make the restaurant a family friendly place and the food portions is a alright amount but the food is outstanding

We’d already visited this old coaching inn a year ago while in the area and was most impressed, so we returned at the weekend on a Sunday lunchtime. We managed to get a table and then decided to stay for lunch rather than just a drink. We decided to try a pizza – one a pepperoni, the other a ham and mushroom. They both arrived nice and hot within about 10 minutes. One was slightly oval (no criticism) so we knew they were made on the premises and not brought in. The toppings were sufficient and tasty and not skimped upon because of the low price.

Typischen PUB der Wetherspoon-Kette. Das übliche PUB-Food - allerdings mit dehr leckeren Spare-Ribs. Sehr zu empfehlen

It's understandable that some pubs don't allow dogs inside, but it's rare that they're not even allowed to sit quietly under a table outside. My husband and I were visiting Skipton - a tourist orientated rural market town - and called at The Devonshire Inn with our 4 month old puppy. It was a quiet Friday afternoon so we expected there would no problem if we sat for a drink at one of the tables on the front yard. We were wrong, and were asked to leave because no dogs are allowed in the "Beer Garden".

My husband and I visited the Devonshire on a recent holiday to Yorkshire, the atmosphere, service, bar staff, situation etc was SO good we came here three nights in a row. Whatever Tim Martin is doing, so far as training is concerned, he should duplicate this across so many other services! Staff are prompt, friendly, helpful, food is brought out less than 20 mins of ordering, is of a great standard, portion sizes are perfect - menu is varied, costs are incredibly good value - why would you go anywhere else?!

Visited with my partner and 2 children.

after asking why we had waited 25 minutes for our food we were told the server had put the wrong table number on our order and they had been walking round with it to find the right table.Why then give us the same food which by this time was cold? Then try to tell me that that was the coŕrect temperature to serve a baked spud!! Unbelievable get your act in gear.

Called in on Sunday night due to us staying in the area. Food and drink reasonably priced and nice, as per standard Wetherspoons fayre, however the young female staff member who was serving behind the bar for whatever reason didn't seem to want to be there. Please or thank you wouldn't have gone amiss. The wifi didn't work either, but that was in the process of being looked at. Not a bad pub though.

Very happy! I did the app ordering. Drinks arrive under 5mins, and we had 3 different pizzas and a mixed grill. We lived in Italy for 3yrs and loved the rustic thin based pizza there. My son doesn’t like the English pizzas normally but loves these! Food arrive shortly after the drinks. Good job Wetherspoons.

Had a great meal here last night with my wife. I must admit I was a bit dubious about going to a weatherspoons to eat on a Saturday night but couldn’t have been more wrong. Fantastic service from the table (blew my mind this) very quick for the food and drinks to come and the table was very efficiently cleared once we’d finished , polite and friendly staff and a definite bar and eating area which was nice , food was obviously a pub style menu but everything we had was faultless. Certainly be returning again.

We decided to all meet up halfway between where we lived and so my sister rang the Devonshire Inn to book a table as there were 14 of us but was told that they didn’t take bookings but a table for us all would not be a problem.

Fairly normal Weatherspoon; prompt, friendly service and hot, tasty food. Huge place, with plenty of seating. Loos not brilliant

visited for second time last saturday . we like it . its nice and cheap for the dales! staff are quite freindly and hard working .love skipton .

Quieter than expected for a Sat on bank holiday weekend. Usual cheap and cheerful menu but poor quality, order some starters on the app (which is a good idea) but the food was bland, basic.
