The Marton Arms in Craven

Absolutely outstanding. The soufflé starter was 10/10. Mains we ordered were truly sensational too. Drink selection is wonderful. The staff run a masterclass in terms of welcome, friendliness, warmth and professionalism. An incredible gem that we’ll revisit many times over. Lauren, Heather and Tabitha, thank you for having us and also introducing a Londoner to beef puddings ;) The Marton Arms is Michelin star quality.

Fantastic stay,in well appointed rooms, staff very friendly and attentive. Evening meal was fantastic with a great menu. Breakfast was also amazing, will definitely return.

We stopped in randomly on Boxing Day and left utterly delighted. The pub was warm and inviting, clean and cosy and the food was delicious. Heather the host was first rate and only added to our experience. For a quaint little pub in the middle of nowhere we were impressed by the variety and quality of their elevated menu that managed to still stay true to comfort pub faire. We hope to be back!

WOW what a nice place. I went to the pub to eat. It was EXCEPTIONAL. It was a slow winter day, and I was the only person eating, so I got a real personal service. I was camping on the moors, so they let me charge my bicycle battery, thankfully. So I ordered food. A lot of it. And it was all the best tasting food I'd ever had. I really wasn't expecting it to be so gourmet, because it was styled as just a normal pub. And the food was at normal pub prices. The more I tasted the food, the more I started to suspect Michelin stars. Because they were able to pay quite a bit of attention to me, the manager explained that he used to work in a Michelin restaurant, and he'd brought his expertise along to their menu. It really showed. I had a taglietelli pasta dish, better than anything in any Italian restaurant. Very thick noodles, wild mushrooms, fantastic spices, you could taste the quality of every ingredient. I also ordered some separate chips, just to make sure I'd be full. Cripsy, with sea salt flakes. I had sticky toffee pudding for desert. Get this, home made ice cream! It tasted thicker and creamier than any other ice cream I've ever had. So I decided to double up again, and have yet another desert. I had the nickerbocker glory. Perfect ratios of ingredients. Brownier and cream throughout the ice cream. It was truly an amazing gourmet twist on all your normal pub food. This is definitely a pub, doing pub food, but doing just about the best job of pub food that you can get.

AMAZING food and lovely staff! Highly recommend the pork cutlet.

Have visited here a few times. Food and service always amazing. Highly recommend

The food and service were fantastic

Just returned from a fabulous evening at the Marton Arms. What a gem of country pub. Stunning location and a wonderful cosy feel to it. Now for the food and service. Top class. The service was exceptional. The 2 front of house staff who served us were absolutely brilliant ( sorry I didn't get your names) both very tentative, chatty and informative, a credit to management for hiring them, they are why we came back tonight for a meal, having experienced their hospitality when popping in for a drink a couple of nights ago. Our meals were beautifully presented and delicious. The bar staff were also fantastic. 5 stars all round. Highly recommended people. Can't wait to return. Keep up the good work guys. Your food and service was exceptional.

Best Pub I know in the Lancaster area for years! Very high quality food served plus a wide range of Beers and liquors. Lovely service! Dogs are most welcome with their own menu. Rooms to stay overnight are available, too. Within reach of decent Cottages in the Lancaster and Kirkby Lansdale area, too,

Hot chocolate was really good and good value. Staff were friendly and welcoming to our large group. Great setting, building and atmosphere. Will be back in July.

Great food, nice atmosphere and just had a genuine nice feel, the bigger room where we eat had an echo so hearing each other was a little hard at times especially when it was busy.

The menu appears good, the surroundings look nice but be warned the customer service and managers attitude is shocking! There were 6 of us, for Sunday lunch with 2 children in our party both having breaded chicken goujons. The kids meal was £9.50 and suitable for an under 7 year old, however I don’t mind the price if the quality is good. My kids ate the small handful of chips but only a small mouthful of the chicken which looked really over done. They said they didn’t like the taste. I tried it and it tasted very charred. I spoke to the waitress who said she would speak to the kitchen and that was that. When we came to pay both meals were on the bill. I asked if they would reconsider and at that point I was told that their meals were absolutely fine and there was nothing wrong with the chicken goujons, according to her and the chef. Her approach and demeanor was simply rude. Please be warned of the manager/chef thinks the food is fine they do not care what you think as the paying customer. This level of service was more in line with a cheap takeaway not what this pub fashions itself to be and with such rude and contemptuous service it will never get repeat business from us. Do yourselves and your wallet a favour and choose another place to eat, over priced with no substance unfortunately.

Nice gastro pub tucked out of the way. Great food and service

Loved it for Sunday lunch today! Always try and go when in the area. Food was delicious!

We returned to the wonderful Marton Arms to take on the Yorkshire three peaks challenge. The team there were so accommodating, welcomed us back warmly and helped us with any query we had. The room was lovely and warm when we arrived, and it happened to be where we had stayed before so it’ll the familiarity was great. We went for Dinner, bed and breakfast and even had a pack up made for us as we were heading out early on the Saturday so would have missed breakfast. When we did have breakfast on the second morning it was delicious and just what we needed before our journey home. We will return for our next trips, for many years to come.

What an absolute gem of a place. So glad we found this hotel. Check in was super friendly, super easy and very efficient. The room was perfect and can't be faulted in any way. Bar staff are knowledgeable and again very friendly while the bar area and the outside areas are well laid out, comfortable and relaxing. The food is amazing, so much flavour and so well presented and the breakfast sets you up for the day. Well done Heather and the team on creating a venue where one visit is never going to be enough and a special mention to Anita who is so friendly, so attentive and makes what is already a fantastic breakfast even better.

Stopped here for some lunch whilst on a bike ride, great staff, great food and a very warm welcoming atmosphere.

Met some friends for a catch up great food, great selection of drinks, if i lived more local this would be my new local!!!!

We were there for dinner. On the recommendation of our B&B, we called ahead to reserve a table. Even though it was Wednesday, there was only one high table right at the bar. So be sure to reserve early. The food was very tasty and is recommended. The restaurant is in a great remote location. Clear recommendation from us!

Lovely food great atmosphere nice staff

Had a nice stay for 2 nights to get away. Lovely place, a great room, and great food. Quiet location with nice views and ideal for a walking holiday. Very friendly staff too, which was very welcoming - I will definitely be returning at some point 👍

We stopped by chance on a cycle ride for a coffee which was excellent, loved the atmosphere inside so we booked for Sunday Lunch. The starter was out of this world, a cheese soufflé, and the roast beef a decent portion and cooked just right. Vegetables esp the roasties were excellent too, ohhh and we have a side of cauliflower cheese too that was also done just right. We will be back.

wonderful surroundings. please village pub. another one on the list of of pubs I'm pleased to have visited

Lovely pub in a great setting with large beer garden

We came here on Sunday with our dog for some lunch and the food and service was absolutely outstanding! The roast dinners were absolutely delicious. Will definitely return. 5 Stars!

Great hotel. With nice helpful people. Also very good food. Perfect place for secluded walking.

We went for dinner twice both times food was fantastic thank you, recommend book ahead and go earlier in the day as they had run out of some items but there was still plenty of choice, and it was a bust sat evening, we had the cheese souffle it was stunning. As was the roast beef dinner.

Wow! How happy are we that we stumbled upon the Marton Arms?! (Very!!!) Beautiful dining room, warm & attentive service, and the food was absolutely stunning. We arrived around 1:30ish with no booking after having just walked ingleton falls. We were greeted and seated immediately by Craig who served us throughout our meal. Craig provided excellent hospitality, offering great recommendations from both the bar and the food menu, and was always one step ahead meaning we never had to ask for anything! The menu offers plenty of dishes to choose from, however we took Craig up on his recommendation of the Cheese Soufflé and Tomato Bruschetta (starters), followed by the Suet Pudding and Lamb Shoulder (mains), and finishing with Homeycomb Crème Brûlée to share - we could not fault a single thing about our food, everything was absolutely delicious, incredible value for money, and service was timed perfectly well. This was an anniversary meal (albeit we did not make this known), and the service, to the food, to the setting made everything so special for us, we couldn’t have asked for a nicer experience. Thank you Craig and the team at Marton arms for an unforgettable experience. We can’t wait to come back!!!

Was staying nearby and chose this place as they had really good reviews for the Sunday roasts. My wife had the roast beef which was really good. 3 large thick pieces of perfectly cooked pink beef which tasted lovely and had a great texture. Big Yorkshire pudding, plenty of really nicely cooked roast potatoes, loads of veg and plenty of tasty gravy. My mother in law asked if they could do a smaller roast portion as she doesn't eat as much (as the menu didn't show anything like this) and the person serving didn't hesitate and said 'of course'. Her portion was smaller than the regular portion but was still a good amount of food (for a smaller price) I'd already checked out the menu so knew in advance that they didn't do burgers (my normal choice in restaurants) However, they had a specials board which had a burger on it so that's what I had! It was a triple burger with cheese and onion rings. The meat itself was nice and juicy and there was a lot of cheese which was really strong and lovely. The onion rings were massive and really good and the fries were also good. The only issue for me was the burger bun. It was rock solid (literally) and hadn't been buttered so made something that was very dry even more drier. Not sure how it's possible to make a bun that hard! Overall we had a lovely meal. All the staff were really nice and friendly and I would definitely recommend this place and eat here again if we're ever back in the area.

What a great find. Beautiful location for touring Forest of Bowland and the Yorkshire Dale's. Food superb, staff excellent. Will definitely be returning.

We popped in here for Sunday dinner after exploring the nearby cave system. The food was great and the service was excellent. There's also a large car park so lots of us could attend. They managed to fit 13 of us in on the same day.

A beautiful pub in a beautiful setting . The church over the road is so picture postcard . Great beer and cyder served by seemingly happy staff . The Menu is very interesting .

Lovely pub in a lovely part of the country. Good choice if drinks and spirits.

Amazing bar and restaurant with a great atmosphere. So much choice, local ales, local gins, all served up by an amazing team. Loved our visit and will definitely return.

Good food and a friendly welcome. A return visit after several years and still to be highly recommended.

Fantastic pub in the dales, friendly service with a good and interesting choice of reasonably priced ales

We walked there from a local village. Muddy boots- 2 families of 4. Booked first. Really friendly reception. Fantastic food. Posh restruant vibe with acceptance of walking gear and kids. They're good with dogs too. Food and beer and hospitality was spot on !!!

Great little place, stopped for food and a drink after a hike. Lovely location and food was delicious, with polite and friendly staff..

Excellent 2 night stay in May at the Marton Arms as a base for mid-week 3 Peaks hike. 2 pals in the Dales with boots made for walking feasted on delicious dinners and breakfast with great ales to match. What really stood out was the quality of staff and the friendly, flexible service they all provided.

Had a fantastic meal here, it was stashing it down so drove the motorhome here and was able to park it in the back car park. Staff are very welcoming and friendly and food is superb, had my soggy dog with me whom was also very welcome, recommend a stop here if you are in Ingleton

popular country inn with tremendous food be sure to book ahead , it's very popular . large car park and beer garden with good views

Great food well presented and the service was excellent. Local produce was showcased. Friendly knowledgeable staff. All round a fantastic experience.

We are staying Thornbrook Barn caravan site, Ingleton, which really is 6*. This pub is about a 10min walk down a peaceful country lane, just off the campsite. This pub is fabulous, the staff are excellent, very knowledgeable about the food, wine and location. The really great pubs don't mind what the customer orders, they just want to look after you, this pub does this without reservation. I had the cheese board (3xfantastic cheeses) with really good biscuits, to be honest the cheese's stand well on their own, but the garlic biscuit went fantastically well with the goats cheese, the blue I loved with the beetroot (not sure but lovely) coloured biscuit, and the cheddar, well as we all know this goes with anything. My partner had the lamb croquettes with mint riaita, now these were absolutely fantastic, the lamb was shredded, not minced not sure what I'm getting meat, truly divine (I don't eat lamb these are the words of my partner) we come from Gower salt marsh lamb country so believe me this is high praise indeed. This establishment holds very good wine, I had the Argentinian Malbec, and my partner the Pinot Grigio, very good wines. The owner has a very good palate, a great pub is also measured on the quality of their wine, top notch. In addition to loving great wine, I love great coffee. If there was any element I would improve, it would be the coffee. It was not rich dark and smooth, just not for me... If you get the chance to go here please don't miss it, lovely food, drink, staff and the surroundings, well absolutely amazing. The pub has a coat of arms "dieu et ma patrie' (1679) carved in stone at the top if the entrance, the translation could be 'God and my Homeland'.

Stayed Thursday & Friday night at the beginning of May. Service on Thursday was fantastic and food was excellent. Friday the service and food were ok but nothing special. Got double charged for desert which was disappointing. Room was comfortable but there was some damp in the corner. Location was fantastic.

Nice place and well worth a visit

Well, this place is just delightful, just ate dinner, didn't stay over... there's not much more to say, I'll be returning. Many times. Do book because the town gets busy!

Came in for Sunday lunch. Beautiful pub and the staff were friendly and helpful. The food was excellent and most of the menu was or could be made gluten free.

Staff very friendly and helpful

Beers are OK, lager is awful. Too many dogs.

One of the best fusion of food I've had in years

Beautiful period hotel in stunning countryside setting. Travelling with our son who has autism can be difficult but all staff were really welcoming and couldn't do enough for us throughout our stay. Special mention for Heather for email support before our visit, Simon for making us feel so welcome, Mike our evening waiter, Jack the barman and our breakfast waiter whose name we didn't catch. All really listened to our special requests for our son and made sure his needs were met. We were advised to book for our evening meal and even though it was a Thursday evening in May it was quite busy. The food was excellent. Would highly recommend

Great food, lovely staff. Looking forward to coming back!

Excellent service. Very friendly. Food good though 1 dish over seasoned, but they really wanted feedback so don't expect that will happen too often

Sensational food and drinks. Went 3 times, twice for drinks and once for food. Service was excellent all 3 times. Small place that seems to be predominantly food orientated as all the tables were reserved We will definitely return next time we are up this way

Only had the beer.,but what a pint. Food looked lovely.

A lovely pub to visit, decent beers on with a choice, different to the last one. I had a Hawkshead mild, absolutely great, very efficient staff, nice atmosphere, worth a visit.

Great place to eat. Staff very friendly.

Food was delicious with a great variety of choice. The biggest Yorkshire pudding I have ever seen! Service was top notch. So lovely to have received a posy of flowers for Mothers day. It was a very special meal with the family. Thank you to all the staff for being wonderful! We are very blessed to have this pub as our local. The staff are always friendly and welcoming... even with our dog! :)

Obviously a committed and passionate team running the Marton Arms.We spent 2 nights here.Owner Heather with Mark and Simon cant do enough for you.As soon as you walk in there's a good vibe about the place.Awesome menu ,tastefully rustic decor with clean, cosy rooms and dog friendly.

Incredible Sunday roast - we had the beef and the venison wellington, just mind-bogglingly delicious and a beautifully design menu. The goat's cheese and beetroot cheesecake starter with beetroot Ice cream was innovative and a good sign of what was to come too.

If you’re debating where to eat in the area: definitely choose this place! I went for dinner this evening, and was pleasantly surprised with one of the best meals I’ve had for a year or two. Tonight was the night I experienced the first Venison Wellington to beat my previous favourite from 8 years ago. Whoever created the menu and cooked the food deserves an award. The starter alone was to die for. My partner and I shared a Goats Cheese and Beetroot Cheesecake with Beetroot Sorbet & Smoked Haddock Sausage Roll with Dill Mayonnaise. The decor and dining experience is cosy and well thought through down to the quality cutlery and cloth napkins. The wine list and bar is very well stocked and the service is super friendly, helpful, attentive and professional! Eat at this establishment if you want a meal to remember!

How was the Marton Arms? The Marton Arms was a complete RIP OFF.A pint of Jeremy Clarkson's lager and one large glass of Sauvignon Blanc,£17.50 and I believe there was a service charge included in that.Why?I went to the bar for it and took it to my own table. Garbage, never again.

Visited here by chance with friends after a walk around Ingleton falls and so glad we did. A lovely little pub and restaurant - staff ultra friendly and attentive and the food was great. Will be back next time we are around Ingleton!

I went with my two grown up children. The family room for us, was ideal for our one night stay. The price was just right for dinner, bed & breakfast. The staff were welcoming and helpful, the food was excellent. We enjoyed the cosy, relaxed atmosphere and the off the main track location. We will definitely return!

A nice countryside pub. in a lovely quiet location with good scenic views. There's a good menu and the meals are cooked well. It's a friendly warm atmosphere in the bar. Our room was clean but basic which would of been OK if it wasn't for the loud boiler firing up intermediary throughout the night. The floor and door vibrated and the noise was excessive. It repeatedly woke us up leaving us really tired throughout the day. Spoke to management and just got a sorry its an old boiler. Charming place to eat. Wouldn't advise anyone to sleep.

This is a fantastic pub tucked out of the way. The ale is superb and the food is fantastic. It’s so good we cancelled our original plane for later in the year to book in to stay here instead. The staff are lovely and personal greet us every time we go in. As a double bonus it is very dog friendly too

Booked in for dinner between Xmas and New year with a group of friends. Great service and great food. Thanks!!

We literally stumbled across this wonderful place after visiting the Church next door. Service was perfect with the food and wine exceptional. This place is a must! We’ll be back! 🍷

A gem of a restaurant, the food was amazing, a very clever chef. We were welcomed by the owner who looked after us and the log fire was very welcoming after a long wet walk. Highly recommend for a meal and we will be back

Food was great. Venison suet pudding was a highlight.

Went for a family meal earlier today, great pub and the food / service was excellent

Most certainly the top place excellent service. Staff were exceptional food was amazing most enjoyable stay for a while.
