The Farmers Arms in Richmondshire

Called in for a drink with our two dogs, lovely pint of local ale, well deserving its CAMRA listings. Lots of local history on the walls, a lovely old traditional, unpretentious Yorkshire pub.

We are all so happy this amazing pub is now open. We had an amazing walk from Muker to Keld and had lunch here , was very busy , out side seating was quite busy with a lovely atmosphere, people laughing and enjoying the amazing food they serve , I had lasagne with garlic bread and salad , red hot , tasty and fresh, loved it. My partner had Scampi, and he too was very pleased with the amazing food , this pub has a wonderful atmosphere, lots of walkers making conversations with strangers , Craig looked after us very well , so sociable too, very nice man , and Claire the Land Lady is a multi tasker , brilliant at her job , we all must support this truly gem of a pub , we will be back many times . Thank you Claire and Craig for making our day special, keep up the excellent work and fabulous food x

Stopped in for a break on a Keld-Muker-Muker walk via East Gill Force, Crackpot Hall and Swinnners Gill. It was bought out by a community group in September, so is under new ownership. Friendly welcome and relaxed place. There's a few outdoor tables and they were nicely positioned to take in the sun.

Great little pub, Andy and all the staff were so welcoming from the moment we arrived. I’d read reviews about Andy’s ‘attitude’? To normal people, it’s called banter & we visited most days for food & drink whilst staying in the area & loved the friendly, relaxed atmosphere of the pub. We know it is in the process of being sold but we will be visiting their other establishment in the future, for good food, drink & a few laughs!

Thank you for a wonderful Sunday lunch. We all thoroughly enjoyed our visit, everything was perfect. Best wishes for the future.

I really feel that, every time I review The Farmers Arms, it’s a bit like ‘Groundhog Day’. It’s quite simply, always fabulous. There’s not much more I can say about this place, except that this is our second visit to Swaledale in the last two months and there’s no way we were not booking a table at The Farmers. For a village pub, the food is, quite simply, bloody amazing. Andy, the landlord is very welcoming and really down to earth…a proper Yorkshireman! His wife, the rarely seen Mandy, conjures up the most tasteful dishes all on her own which seem to constantly amaze our tastebuds. And tonight, Paul, who was front of house, was friendly, knowledgeable and both he and Andy gave a beautiful relaxed vibe to the place. Two amazing courses, a bottle of the house Sauvignon and a couple of pints of Andy’s own Crackpot ale made for a lovely evening. Made all the better by coming away with a bottle of their very own Miss Mollies Sherbert Lemon gin….the best Summer tipple ever. The pub is up for sale so, all so all I can say is, please take advantage of this amazing place while you can. You will not be disappointed!

Nice country pub in a beautiful area. We visited with a group of friends, after a walk. I was not impressed, with the rules and regulation signs around the beer garden and in the pub. Stating, we are short staffed, who isn't these days! and the sevice may be slow, but we cant be everything to everybody. and we consider it rude of customers who eat anything of their own, even a snack, either inside or outside our pub. I ordered a cup of tea, when came as as a mug of hot water with a tea bag, it was placed on the bar by a member of staff and I was then berated by the bar man, for putting my tea bag in it on the bar to brew my tea, iHe was unhappy for me to do this in case I spilled the hot water on his bar! I DIDN'T Not the attitude I would expect from anyone in hospitality.

Our neighbours recommended the Farmers Arms for dinner, and we weren't disappointed. The food was very good: well cooked, tasty, well presented and excellent value for money. Mandy does all the cooking and husband Andy does the front of house and everything else. It's clear that they both work their socks off and could do with more staff, but just can't get them in such a remote location. There is talk of a community buy out - the light at the end of the tunnel for Mandy and Andy, but probably a loss for the rest of us. Those of a sensitive nature should note that Andy has a dry sense of humour (ex rugby league player). You should come prepared for 'banter' and to give as good as you get. Good selection of beers and gins.

Lovely welcome and great food too! Open fire, local ales. Service friendly and helpful. Wide choice of foods including lots of local specialties. Meat used all from local butchers. Most enjoyable and reasonably priced.

Regular annual visitors of this pub past 30 years! Impressed by new decor, very stylish and comfortable. Great menu, we ate there on 4 consecutive nights and enjoyed trying out what was on offer. All four of us had something different and we all cleared our plates, delicious. Mandy is a great chef and Andy so pleasant and hospitable who keeps a fab pint of Old Peculiar! Missing that today as we’re now home! Wishing you all the very best!

A warm friendly welcome and roaring fire greeted us. Excellent choice of real ales and local gins. We all chose Yorkshire Puddings with a range of fillings. The meals came piping hot and absolutely delicious. Large helpings of meat with buttery mash and fresh vegetables. The puddings looked very tempting too but unfortunately we were all too full to indulge. Thank you to Andy, the landlord, Mandy his wife and chef and special thanks to our waitress Molly who looked after us so well. Highly recommended.

Only had a sandwich as looking to check out the value for money and quality aspect and I was not disappointed .a lovely warm environment and good choice of food and drinks

We came for lunch on Saturday 6th April and it was brilliant. Paul and the young guy whose name we didn’t get were so friendly and helpful and made us so welcome. The food was amazing,I think it was cooked by Mandy, what a cook she is ! We both had steak pie. Superb. On Wednesday 10th we came back for dinner and again such lovely food well presented and well cooked. The prawn and salmon cocktail and smoked haddock in cheese sauce ( had by both of us ) was delicious. This time we met Andy ,the manager ,and he was a great guy and just the perfect person to run a pub . Thanks for the experience and great food. Can’t wait to come back to stay in the area just to come to the Farmers Arms. Bill and Olly Whittaker.

After our windswept rain soaked walk to Muker it was a great relief to find this lovely watering hole open, fire roaring, Crackpot on tap, however after settling in I noticed a new face behind the bar a lovely lad called Paul, where's the landlord everyone loves to hate I asked. Now demoted to the salad bar in the kitchen was the reply, what no banter today then, my disappointment was short lived on the arrival of Mandy's homemade steak & ale pie, the best pie for miles around in my opinion of course. The pub I am told as been sold to the locals Paul confirms. Should everything go to plan whoever ends up in the kitchen will have to be seriously talented to replace the current women who presides over it, good luck with that one. I love this pub and I sadly missed the landlord on this trip, however hopefully might see him again in his favorite waterhole the Kings Arms at Heath Common as we are both wakey lads.

As we do regularly on holiday visted the Farmers Arms three nights in a row,two to have dinner .The dinners were of a very high standard from an extremely extensive menu Mandy who does the cooking is amazing to do that size of a menu!.Also a terrific selection of real ales were being offered with the Old Peculiar as the star .We were looked after by Paul who was standing in for the owner Andy who was ill .Paul was great friendly courteous and could be more helpful

We were delighted to be back for lunch at the Farmer's Arms last week. A beautiful old pub and the food was outstanding. We were made welcome by the friendly staff. My partner enjoyed the Old Peculiar. Recommended if you are in Swaledale.

This pub served excellent food and the service was very good. The staff were very accommodating and polite. We can only say the we fully enjoyed the experience and would eat here again.

We tried a few dishes on the two occasions we visited including the trio of pork, the steak n ale pie, the fish curry, the scampi and the garlic mushrooms as a starter. The food was wholesome, satisfying, top notch and the best in the Dales. And the home brewed beer is equally delicious. My favourite was the steak n ale pie - all homemade and quite possibly the best steak n ale pie in the world!

Great to get back to the Farmers Arms in Muker for their fabulous food. The Steak Pie never fails to disappoint and the pork special ‘3 Little Pigs’ was a mouthwatering revelation. Great selection of beers too.

After enduring the wettest period in history the weather person said the Easter bank holiday was at last going to be dry ! so my wife and I decided to venture out take a walk in one of our favorite locations and of course visit the Farmers Arms. The weather as promised was dry and the Farmers Arms was as usual magnificent. I am a creature of habit and just couldn't help myself ordering the steak pie which was truly fantastic , my wife opted to try the fish and chips and judging by the empty plate was equally satisfied with her meal. The size of the portions ( which are large) meant we were too full to enjoy a desert !!! On paying the bill I grabbed a quick chat with the landlord who was putting a brave face on the fact that he had just undergone knee surgery a few weeks before however he still managed to bring a smile to my face with his dry sense of humor. The Farmers never fails to turn out exceptional food at affordable prices. Well done and as Arnie says " We'll be back"

We had a great meal this evening. Food was brilliant. Service was, as always, brilliant. We will be back again next Easter for our annual family holiday

For God's sake update your social media and website that you're shut. Wasted journey. No need for it. Won't be bothering in future.

If you’re a pub and you’ve shut up shop for an indefinite period would you not update your advertised online opening hours? Having suspected the opening hours as advertised might be suspect - despite it being half term - we also rang to confirm. The recorded answerphone message invited leaving details for evening bookings so we took a gamble. Fools…

I’m submitting this review to prevent anyone making a long journey here, as I did today, for what was intended as a special birthday lunch. I’m very sympathetic to the plight of the hospitality sector, and hope to return here when it is open, but you need to know it’s definitely shut. I’d visited here in September, and was very impressed, and chose it specially to celebrate a big birthday. From the website you would not think anything was amiss. I rang ahead yesterday to check they were open, it was the standard answer machine I got. As the website specifically says, they don’t take lunch bookings, I figured it was ok. Made the fairly long drive over from Cumbria and got to the pub. On the door is a big notice , that the pub is completely closed until the Spring due to both refurbishment and health issues of the landlord. It specifically says, as it’s a Community owned pub, they took the decision not to update their media, as they notice a significant effect on tourist footfall, if the pub isn’t open. They use the actual phrase “ stuck between a rock and a hard place”. Not my place to judge. I’ll just say there is nowhere else for a good distance serving food at lunchtime, during the week. We ended up in Middleham eventually. I gave the star rating I did from being even handed.

We hadn't heard good reviews regarding the opening times of this pub, but decided to give it a chance. However, having checked they were open on their website, and having walked about 6 miles...we found the pub to be all closed up with no sign of life at all. This is not the first time this has happened. What is going on with this pub? We certainly won't be going there again.

What an amazing pub. Beers fabulous. Food delicious. Andy the perfect host. Went twice for beers and once for food during our stay at the Usher gap campsite. For those people giving bad reviews, they want to look at themselves first. One tip... dont have a starter and the large sunday dinner inside the yorkshire pudding. You wont finish it all. It was so so good though.

I’ve just spent a lovely weekend with my extended family in Muker and we had two lovely meals at The Farmers Arms. The landlord, Andy was very welcoming and accommodating for the 10 of us. We ordered our food beforehand and the meals were outstanding. We were a mixture of meat eaters, veggies and vegans and nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely recommend a visit

We visited the farmers arms after a recommendation from a couple we met in hawes. We wernt disappointed the food was excellent we both had beef roast dinners and a dessert..all well cooked and had a great cack with landlord Andy..we will be back to sample more of Mandys food ..im just hoping the locals dont manage to buy the pub as a consortium as losing Andy and especially Mandy (great cook) would be a hard act to follow

Great atmosphere, wonderful, plentiful & varied range of food. Absolutely delicious. So many veggie options I was spoiled for choice, as were the non veggies in our group. Starters: fab Mains: amazing; Desserts: delicious

This is a great pub, with great food. The atmosphere is fantastic - good service, warm fire, good drinks. Highly recommended.

Such a warm welcome, wonderful choices and all food was simply delicious. We had a lovely time. In addition the locally brewed beers complimented the food.

We have been visiting the Farmer's Arms for many years and called in today, for lunch, whilst in the area. We were made to feel very welcome and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We all had the Sunday roast - the beef was beautifully tender and the great selection of vegetables were perfectly cooked. If you have room, the puddings are very good too!

As a regular visitor to Muker during the last 10 years, there is nothing more rewarding after an exhilarating walk around the Swaledale Valley than to finish a walk at the The Farmers Arms. Times do change as they say and sometimes your beer of choice is no longer available, but there is ‘nowt Peculiar’ in that, only after several years of Covid and inflationary costs, it is good to know you can rely on The Farmers to deliver quality food and beer no matter what you choose off the menu or what time you choose to eat. If you decide where to eat by looking at TripAdvisor, the occasional review can be a little confusing to those who enjoy the Andy and Mandy Gascogne pub experience on a regular basis. After visiting last Wednesday dinner time with my wife to enjoy the steak pie, chips and three vegetables, we watched tourists and locals alike, enjoy the food and the drinks and hospitality of the landlord and his staff. Unbelievable value for money! Andy provides local beers but also serves his own brewed ales. My favourite of the summer has been the blond beer called the Shepherdess. On the day, many others agreed. The only bad news is that Andy is looking to sell The Farmers, he and Mandy will be an hard act to follow. We will continue to enjoy our visits whilst they are still there.

I'm referring to the ale and not the landlord! This was our second trip to the Dales this year and, although we were staying in Wensleydale on this occasion, a visit to the Farmers Arms at Muker again was an absolute must. Andy, the landlord is really friendly and welcoming, and the pub was buzzing, cosy and atmospheric when we arrived on the Friday evening. Booking is essential at busy times as it is proving more and more popular. We had gone with our new 10 month old puppy, and were worried as it was her first outing, but Andy and Josh, his wonderful barman, did everything they could to keep her happy and settled so we could have a relaxed evening. As usual, the food was fabulous. Our starters arrived promptly and our mains did not disappoint. My hubby went for a chicken dish off the specials board and I opted for the braising steak which was served with cheesy mash and seasonal vegetables. Bloody gorgeous! Andy's wife, Mandy, does all the cooking herself and makes a fantastic job of it. My hubby washed his food down with the Farmers own brewed ale, Crackpot, which he said was very good. I had a very nice bottle of sauvignon blanc which I polished off while we chatted after our meal. Josh is really friendly and checks all is well and Andy, the landlord, is witty and likes a bit of banter. As for the couple of 1* reviews left in the last couple of weeks, I can only surmise that you are still hankering after the Dale's style pub and landlord of old James Herriot era. Well times have changed my friends, and times are hard. You might try and warm to a bit of Northern humour and give a landlord who is trying to run two businesses a bit of a break instead of moaning afterwards. If you haven't yet given this gem of a pub a go, then please try the Farmers Arms, you won't be disappointed. And yes, they do make their own gins and yes, they are amazing!

Having been a fairly regular customer of the Farmers Arms over the last 60 years, except for the last year or two, I was appalled by the attitude of the landlord. If he spent less time writing and replying to reviews and more time learning the skills of how to run a successful hospitality venue, all would be far better. I am seriously concerned about the future of the pub. Firstly, I must say that the food produced by the un-seen Mandy upstairs is exceptional. BUT, the management front of house is the worst I have ever experienced. On our first night, the pre-booked table was a small circular one with me sitting on a stool within three feet of a lit fire. Other proper tables were vacant but but he seems to have a dislike of using these. On the second night, we were again shown to the same table and were sat between two groups of customers who were deep in conversation. This time, the main bar seating area was blocked off and not in use. All booked customers were either sat near the toilet door or in the cramped and pokey side room. This man is totally rude and objectionable unless you massage his ego about his home made beers. If you wanted Guinness or cider, bad luck, they were both off. His reason for blocking off the main bar was that he had to keep it clean as he was in a hurry to get away to Leeds to brew some more home made beer, To his credit, on both nights, we were moved to a proper dining table, but not until we had settled down with our drinks. He is, evidently trying to sell the business, but will not reveal sales figures as he claims to be a private man. Who would buy in these circumstances? In a pub, I do not want to hear all the landlord's problems, and has he ever thought that the lack of staff might be due to no one wanting to work for him? To quote the landlord, JOG ON to a friendly pub.

Have visited this pub on several Occasions, the last trip on Friday evening was with friends for dinner. As always Andrew looked after us with a friendly welcome. Mandy’s food again was spot on. Josh who served our table was very attentive. Thank you to a small team. See you on the next visit.

Had an excellent meal on a busy Saturday evening. The food was lovely. Andy and Josh really accommodated us especially as we had to add on an extra two at last minute. Would highly recommend. Thanks!

I'm afraid the Farmers Arms, which was one of my favourite pubs to visit, especially after the Keld Muker walk then lunch followed by a couple of pints of Old Perculiar, has gone downhill, in fact it's in free-fall! I first went to the Farmers Arms in 1988 and have been going almost every year since. Up on a walking holiday last week, I had planned to have lunch in the pub everyday. I went in for dinner on the first evening and was instructed to sit at a particular small table with an uncomfortable seat. By the time I left an hour or so later, no one had come in to sit at the other tables in my area. The Steak and Ale pie was fine. On reflection the next day, I thought it was rather unusual to be told where to sit in a pub when the other tables weren't taken. The following night I went in at 5.45 pm for an early pint before supper. Andy, the landlord, told me to sit in an adjacent room, which is only 12 by 10 foot. I've never sat in there before as I don't like it and I didnt feel like doing it this time, sitting on my own with no atmosphere, so I suggested sitting in the main bar area asking him what time tables were reserved for as I would be gone by then? He didnt answer that question, but insisted I must sit in the small room, which I didn't want to, so I said I would stand at the bar then. With that he turned rather hostile towards me and asked me why I was being so difficult. He reminded me I turned up last night without having booked and they served me. As if he was doing me a favour! I had never booked in 34 odd years of going to the pub and always been able to order a meal. I was then lectured that it was his pub and and he was running it his way. I felt really threatened by him, to the extent that if there was no one else there, I thought he might have hit me. No one has ever spoken to me like that in a pub before. Well I left immediately of course and his behaviour resulted in the pub losing my business for the whole week in times when the pub has been struggling and every customer should be welcomed with open arms. Especially as the pub is up for sale, with no takers to my knowledge. Looking at Tripadvisor reviews after the event, I discovered I wasn't alone, there are many similar reviews. A Customer Sevice Course comes to mind.

Friendly, welcoming and comfortable. One of the nicest pub meals we’ve ever had (braised beef/lamb kebabs). Can’t recommend it highly enough.

Fantastic welcoming atmosphere, excellent local beers & lagers at extremely reasonable prices. Andy the landlord was both welcoming and sociable and continued to pass the time of day even went we were sat down. We have eaten here on many occasions and the food is...

I'm the third of the OAPs who had lunch here on Thursday! As my friends wrote, an excellent meal. I had the lamb shank, which was huge and delicious, the meat falling off the bone. Very tasty beer from the pub's micro brewery. The landlord...

Me and two friends dined at the Farmers Arms yesterday. Lovely country pub. Delicious food at very reasonable prices. Especially when given the portion sizes. I had the Yorkshire pudding with braised beef and somehow managed to squeeze in a excellent apple crumble and custard....

The only good thing about this pub is its up for sale. The owner was rude, unhelpful and selfish. Never in my life have I and my friends been met with such poor customer service. He made Basil Fawlty look 5 star. I hope he...

We called in passing as we neared the end of our 9.5 mile circular walk around Thwaite, Keld & Swinner Gill, in Swaledale, North Yorkshire, as a family of 4, including our daughter & son in law. The pub was virtually empty, with a handful...

We had our Sunday roast at the Farmers Arms today & we were highly delighted with the quality of our meals. Everything was cooked perfectly & tasted delicious. I highly recommend it.

The pub was not busy, with no one inside, tables inside had reserved on but the landlord would t let a family in with teenage children ‘for insurance reasons’. We found the service poor and the beer not great. We have visited the Farmers many...

This is a local pub and has a lot of locals in it, which was good to see. However we were still made welcome, as was another groups just after us (we had both booked, there isn't a lot of space otherwise.). Very happy with...

Great location, friendly with fabulous beers and outstanding food. Stopped off following a great circular walk and then went back for dinner a few days later. Great menu, good service and would recommend.

Fantastic as always they were run off their feet, I don’t know how it’s possible to do what they do the lady chef is amazing,, steak pie to die for best and tastier than anywhere else in the area

I am sorely tempted to write a rotten review if only to enjoy reading yet another blunt and forthright response penned by landlord, Andrew Gascoigne. But then, how could I? My lunchtime visit coincided with September 2023 Muker Show and the most glorious early Autumn...

My friend and I called in for a pint, early afternoon today, after a brilliant walk. Eating wasn’t on the agenda, but as we sat outside in the stunning sunshine, and saw the dishes being served, boy was I ready to eat. We didn’t, but...

Came in for a lovely meal with family. I had Mrs G's Beef Lasagne and it was delicious. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. Andy's lager is a must try. I will be back!

We booked this via email several weeks back for our last night on holiday this week. All was good until we turned up for our table at 7pm to find the pub closed due to a ‘family emergency’. Whilst I appreciate things happen an email...

We called in here for lunch today and WOW! Food was unbelievable, the best we’ve had. Very tasty and great value for money. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. If you’re ever in the area then make sure you try this place.

Visited twice in mid July and both evening meals were very good and service was of a high standard,all meals are cooked to order by the landlady and are both delicious and hearty. The draft Theakstons bitter was very good,3 other hand pulled beers were...

Have been a few times and the food is excellent and priced very reasonable. Lovely clean pub and friendly staff. Thank you for looking after us and see you again.

Hostile! Too many prohibitory signs, some good customer service skills wouldn’t go amiss either.

If you want a drink in a dirty glass with an attitude for the owner to match then this is your place to go. We went in whist it was raining to be rudely informed there was not any room, although many tables were free....

Popped in for some lunch on a miserable July day. Friendly welcome from the attentive staff and a nice country pub interior. The food took a little time to arrive but was well worth the wait; it was delicious. Good selection of drinks too. Would...

A warm welcome awaits at this lovely country pub. The dinners are magnificent! Plentiful proportions of delicious food, cooked to perfection.

Fantastic pub with excellent friendly service and great atmosphere inside. A wide range of vegan options available which was a suprise and the vegan burger was the best I’ve ever had!! Everyone enjoyed their food and drinks! Definitely recommend!!!

We arrived at the pub early hoping for a table. We got lucky and the restaurant manager couldn’t have been more helpful. No specific vegan options but on request a substantial amount on the menu was vegan friendly. We both ordered the vegan burger and...

Outstanding bar great value for money. Locally produced beers and great food. The staff were pleasant and very accommodating. I will return

Very picturesque classic old Dales pub in a beautiful small Dales village in stunning Swaledale. Great IPAs from its own brewery. Very affable landlord, great menu. What more could you ask?

AWFUL! Don't buy the coffee!! Went for lunch after a very long hike. Coffee was undrinkable! Suspect it was made from a push button machine. Really terrible!! Also just 1 really really bland cheese and pickle sandwich which we shared. Total cost:£14.00!! I wouldn't mind...

This is a truly brilliant pub. Went for a drink after a long walk in the dales. Service was great but what really stands out is the beer, brewed by their own brewery. If you like your beer smooth but with loads if flavour you...

Not a complaint but more an observation. We had the Sunday roast which was ok, beef was overcooked for my taste but I appreciate that others like it this way. I have never had a Sunday roast served in a large soup/pudding bowl before, this...

What a fabulous meal. Outstanding food and service. Meat cooked to perfection and plenty of it. No going home hungry after a meal in this pub. The staff were lovely and it was an enjoyable and relaxed evening. Many thanks.

Popped in a couple of times for beers when we were staying on the local campsite. The beers from their own brewery are exceptionally good, the Theakstons on the bar paled into insignificance in comparison. In the afternoon / early evening, the tables out the...

I am slightly aghast at anyone not rating this place as 5 Star as food, beer, staff and value for money are all 5 star. The pint I had was well kept and presented extremely well and the gin was unbelievable, we all managed to...

An experience. Lovely pub in Murker . The food was also of a really high standard. It’s a shame the Landlord is extremely full of his own importance. His customers relations could definitely do with some work . Compliments to the chef and the waiting...

Food very nice, cannot fault it! Kids demolished their food as did we! The beef yorkshire pudding was lovely. It was a shame we were made to feel uncomfortable at one point about our 3 &5 year old children who sat and waited very patiently...

For more years than I care to remember the Farmers Arms has been my favourite pub in the dales. A near perfect combination of great beer, food and atmosphere. No longer sadly. Still a decent pub for sure but not what it was. The landlord...

First Class Food, Cracking Beer all wrapped up with a quality service in this clean, comfortable and traditional country pub. Well worth booking and great value.

£4 for a pint of lime and soda plus a grumpy landlord - no thanks. Ridiculous price, just taking advantage of their customers.

We had been advised to visit this pub while in Muker and arrived without a booking after a longish walk. It was very busy and we were advised we'd have to wait a while before ordering as all the food was being cooked to order....

Walked in to a empty pub 5 pm. Was greeted, you will have to drink outside, it was 10 deg and pub was empty. I asked politely, why, and was told I'm getting ready for the evening. Our plan was to look at menu and...

We went on a busy Saturday night and this place didn't disappoint again. I love this place and recommend anyone passing to visit. If a pub is friendly, clean and knows how to present itself then they deserve the 5 stars. They had delays with...

Amazing food at great prices! We had the most wonderful lunch at the Farmers arms yesterday. Plentiful, very well presented and absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the lamb shank. The pie also looked to die for! Thank you Mandy, you work so hard on your...

Had a lovely 2 course meal - the quality is great and the menu variety impressive, especially given that there is only one chef. Staff are very friendly. We had a great night and will definitely return next time we are in the area.

Great pub to visit if in the area, we visited after a walk. We have visited this pub in the past when camping and walking in Muker, the improvements Andy and Mandy have made are amazing. You can now book for your evening meal, the...

Delicious food, accommodating landlord, highly recommended, our favourite by far. Be sure to get booked in.
