The Red Lion in Craven

from a previous visit I opted for the red lion Skipton WOW ....I couldn't believe it a Gala procesion of Christmas themed tractors turned up as I was entering the pub...And what a fantastic Christmas cheer was welcomed for me!!!! Kaitlin was superb Brilliant

Very friendly staff Sam and colleagues always make you feel welcome. Extensive menu's Very tasty food, mor me best pub I've been to in Skipton

We had 2 fish and chips bread and butter was absolutely sublime 1st class service for me and a friend ...Sam the barmaid was polite ..

We were on holiday and visited Skipton for the day went into the Red lion for lunch and the food was lovely the staff were very friendly Freya and Samantha were very informative and told us about the history of the pub .And if were come to Yorkshire again it will definitely be on our list to visit Gloria and Ian Ramsey x

Came here the other night for some food and everything was great service and food but one let down is the way some staff members was treating other staff member absolutely appalling!

A great place to eat and a very warm welcome from Mason and Dana, made our visit very enjoyable and nothing was too much trouble, will visit again when next in Skipton

Really friendly and efficient bar staff. Good atmosphere. Popped in for a quick drink and to take cover from the rain. Stayed and had GREAT chips. Great selection of food but we were short on time. Definitely worth a visit.

Had a really nice meal on a Friday lunch time. It was very busy with it being market day. I had a really nice steak pie and my Mum had lasagne. When I ordered I was advised of a 40 minute wait but in reality it was about 20 minutes.

Was in the Town for the weekend for my husband’s birthday and called in here a couple of times, each time staff very welcoming and friendly, making the weekend even more fantastic. Great venue, thank you

Always busy but the food comes out in a reasonable time and always looks like it is described and of high quality for the prices. Great location and nothing is too much bother for one the managers Sam. The above and beyond always makes you return again. And again. Good beers aswell at a cheaper price than the rest of skipton. Cheers Sam and Ollie.

Can tell this lovely pub is under new management - back to friendly staff and a friendly atmosphere! What a difference this new manager has made, well done, it’s great to see 👍🏼

Visited at lunchtime. Placed an order on Greene King app, we were approached by staff and told kitchen was closed but could have a refund. Still waiting for the refund despite emails, emails to Greene King HeadOffice and despite phone calls assuring me it had been processed. At least when you paid cash refunds were easy. Food could be awesome but we will never know

We had booked a table, but we needn’t have bothered as it was practically empty, and as there was nobody about to greet us we just went and sat at a table. We chose what we wanted and my husband went to the bar to order, only to be told the grill wasn’t working so he couldn’t have his burger. So he had to come back and choose something else. Surely it would have been a good idea to just put up a sign at the entrance notifying people that a lot of the menu wasn’t available?!? When we did get our food it was okay but our experience was already spoilt, which was a shame as the place itself was quite charming.

a just over 20 minute wait for 1 pint of Carling and a Pint of Diet Coke, and a 45 minute wait for pub grub? Pub wasn’t even that busy - confused on what went wrong

Excellent food and great staff.we had a meal for four adults every meal was top notch. And dog friendly well worth a visit.

Asked for several items off the menu none of which were available,had to continually go back to the table to chop and change what people wanted

Ordered 6 meals on the Greene King app and had to wait neatly 45 minutes to receive our food. The Sunday roast beef dinner was awful. Viscous gravy, NO roast potatoes, just a dollop of mash. My brother had fish & chips with bread but the bread was dry and brittle! Granddaughter was ordered pizza & chips but received pizza & beans. To say disappointed in the whole experience is an understatement.

35 minute wait for food. Fish and chips cold and fish overcooked. Stale bread. I’ll never come back.

First time eating in here and I wasn't entirely impressed. Ordered food via app but was told the chef was on his break and we'd have to wait 40 mins. It would make sense to have at least two on shift together. We got some drinks in and waited. Food eventually arrived but one dish was cold and was sent back. The chef personally brought my dish back and apologised profusely. Food was not worth the wait. It was very quiet whilst High St was buzzing. It was a hot day but there were flies everywhere and dread to think what it was like in the kitchen. I can understand why it was quiet. We won't be returning.

Came sunday at 6:45pm went on the app to order food and none was available we asked a girl is the food not on and she said we’ve stopped serving. website claims til 9pm and there was no signage or facebook post stating other wise, went again on the tuesday to try again at 3:30pm to be told we will have to wait until 4:15 because there’s only 1 chef and they’re on there break, again nobody told us and wasn’t anywhere that stayed this. Beyond a joke does this place not want to sell food?!! when we did get our meals it was pleasant like all greene kings are but the service was horrendous no apology for having to wait. get more chefs!!!!! heard one of the waitresses talking to another table about finding another job and i don’t blame her

We visited The Red Lion in Skipton during a family visit. A Greene King pub with standard Green King menus serving good food at reasonable prices. The ales and lagers appeared to be regional, not the same as we are used to in the south....

1.15pm on a Wednesday and most of the inside tables are covered in dirty glasses and plates. There is a queue at the bar and over an hours wait for food.

Lovely staff! Rowan and the two female staff were amazing! They couldn’t have made us anymore welcome, we came from out of the area but they made us feel right at home in the red lion! We would definitely recommend anyone to come here.

Came here for some lunch as we were in skipton for the day before heading to the Yorkshire show, I’m from Sunderland so not very familiar with the area but tried this pub and it was amazing, such friendly staff and delicious food, said there...

Absolutely lovely lunch tasty and fresh. Nice clean and inviting pub to visit while we were in skipton.

Popped in today with my dog for a bit of lunch and a rest. First impressions were really good. Nice atmosphere and plenty of spaces to sit down. I downloaded the app, as I find this much more convenient than ordering at the bar, especially...

Great place to watch football always a really good atmosphere. Lovely staff and amazing customer service.

Lovely pub and atmosphere. We decided to stay the night. Very reasonable price and a comfortable room. Staff friendly and pleasant.

Fantastic food and good atmosphere. Rented a room upstairs and it was the best nights sleep I’ve ever had, comfiest bed ever. Would recommend for a nice night away and a great pub lunch. Very nice 10/10

Had dinner here Thursday early evening 11th May. The (once popular) pub was eirilly quiet with only 1 other table of diners. Ordered by the Greene King App, 1 x sirloin steak (with chips & peas), 1 x burger (with chips & salad) and drinks....

Great menue missing a few items but no worries ,had lasagne daughter had a mix of staters all good ,heat staff

In January this year (2023) I voted that this would be my local when I moved here….got to say a change in bar staff has made me say ‘No way’. I am a public servant, I deal with rude ppl all day long but I...

Went back again after my initial visit did not see any mice this time . Bar staff were lovely and verry friendly. I wouldn't give it as my first choice of pubs in Skipton but nevertheless wonderful and a compliment to our lovely town.

Well nice pub in the high street. Good prices and quick service considering how busy it gets. All sports on with sound aswell.

This wasn’t bad, we only had drinks and I would describe it a a typical pub, we went in on a Saturday when there was football on so it was noisy but there didn’t seem to be anywhere quiet unless you were eating. Not the...

We left quite early since we saw mice running around that said the drinks that we did have were delicious

Lovely modern bar in an olde worlde setting. Bar staff friendly and accommodating. Bar food good, sensibly priced. Made this our go-to whilst in Skipton. Would be a cracking local if I lived here - fingers crossed, one day that’ll be true!

We had a 5 small plates and they was very tasty, service was excellent, and the price was very reasonable we will definitely be back

Decided to have food here 5.30 Wednesday night. The place was busy but we managed to find a table OK. Ordered via the Greene King App, 1 x fish & chips with mushy peas & 1 x gammon steak with chips, garden peas & fried...

Filthy tables and not cleaned/wiped throughout our whole visit. Very poor quality steak, tasteless and tough. Only made worse by a chef/cook, who does not know rare from med to well. Hard/stale Garlic bread, very poor. This pub and it's food is a disgrace to...

Fantastic staff and great food. ßtop after shopping as it is a lovely pub and very welcoming We will return

Under cooked vegetables no Yorkshire pudding with roast beef extra 50p for one and they looked like shop bought the other table by us had some the mash was like instant mash yuk and who has sage &onion stuffing with beef the roast beef said...

My wife and myself called in 20/10/22 and enjoyed the seniors three course lunch which is fantastic value. There’s always a good range of ales available and the staff, in particular Samantha, are always friendly and efficient. As we sometimes eat late it’s handy as...

Visiting elderly parents, went into the Red Lion, lovely warm welcome, excellent beers fabulous food, as for the staff our server Samantha went out of her way to accommodate our every need, next time we’re up in Gods own country we will definitely return.

First day back to work after a fortnight was a howler so decided to go for a pint after work for some chill time. And due to ample parking outside decided to call in to the Red Lion, and what a good choice it was....

Our go-to lunch spot whenever we visit Skipton. Extensive menu, good selection of drinks, friendly staff and we have NEVER had a bad meal here, always first class - quality ingredients and cooked to perfection!

Excellent super friendly service have returned several times, The 2 main course meal deal offer superb value for money and the food was excellent, highly recommend trying the steak and ale pie, to sum up great friendly staff and great food👍

Popped over to Skipton on a day off and had a couple of lovely pints of ale and a pie. Team were very friendly

Shame to say this… would come back for a drink never for food. Inexperienced chef, Inedible broccoli stems so hard you couldn’t cut them. Cheap steak which was covered in blood. (No steak knife) Basically Wetherspoons food. First young girl who served us at the...

I stop on the outskirts of Skipton once a month and once my work is done I always call here. Good range of ales and the food is good and well priced. The staff are superb so I cannot fault it. Worth a visit if...

Beer was nice, food was average. Gammon was quite tasteless and even though there are plenty of options from the grill, they don't supply English mustard... Waitresses response was they'd asked for some but it's never been supplied, please show some initiative and just buy...

We booked a space at the Red Lion for our friends Hen Party in July for 30 of us. Adie and the Team were amazing and we cannot thank them enough. They decorated the area for us with balloons, banners, confetti, games and pom poms....

Came back to skipton to see some friends, popped in to have a drink. Nice and pleasant. Young lad Rowen was cheerful and happy to help. Top Banana. Will be coming again when next in Yorkshire.

Two blonde witch please! Service with a smile! The two young lads were always laughing and smiling and they made my night good lads

A Greene King pub serving good food at reasonable prices. There are special two meals for circa £13 offer most days. The premises are reasonable and there is adequate space to enjoy a meal in a dining area well away from the bar. The staff...

me my wife and mother inlaw decided on a day out in skipton a place i have never been and it was a great day with the weather and called into the red lion for lunch a brunch a gammon and burger lunches well it...

I'm not a fan of leaving poor reviews, but my wife and I went in hoping for a good steak pie, and left very disappointed. The meat was very poor quality, almost as if it was already chewed up. I had chips, which were standard...

we came in for drinks, lovely venue, good atmosphere and friendly staff. Been here a few times and would recommend

Had a meal with family, great diverse menu for children, baby and dog friendly too! Great value menu and drinks at competitive prices. Service was friendly and attentive, Samantha and the team where great. Would highly recommend if your visiting skipton!

The first time I've visited this local pub and, to be fair, only went because it was one of the few places serving food at 4 pm. The food is good, not amazing but then it's not professing to be Michelin starred!! The four of...

We called for a couple of drinks and ended up sharing a toastie. Drinks were very good, especially the beer. The Hunters chicken toastie was tasty, though the chicken was a bit tough. It was nice to watch the live football. The bar had a...

We often visit here with our 2 children & always leave with a smile on our face!! Despite hit and miss food quality, the reception is always warm and welcoming and experience enjoyable! Sam is there nearly every time we have visited and she truly...

Lovely staff, fast and friendly service from all the team, close to town centre. Highly recommend (amazing food too)

Visited yesterday around 1pm on a day out from Morecambe and thought we would try this pub as the reviews were good and the pub lookd loely. We were not disappointed. I had the sharing platter and my husband the Steak & Ale Pie and...

Was enjoying our time here until man on next table started puffing away on his vape, as non smokers we drank up and left. Sorry, he might want to breathe it in, but we don't. Very off putting.

Called in here today with my Mum, Granddaughter and 13 week old pup. Was a little bit apprehensive about taking the dog in but there was another dog in the bar area. Very spacious lounge/ eating area. The bar Staff were very pleasant, a young...

Had a nice meal cheese burger with bacon, lovely service from Alister and Rowan!! 👍🏻 Will be back again!!

Really good friday night for me and my girlfriend we was really looked after by alister and rowen they was amazing, the food was also amazing and a really all round nice place

Amazing offer on starters called ‘small plates’ nothing small about them. Mini burgers, halloumi, tacos, 3 for £10.99 and honestly it was too much food! Will definitely be back, had such a laugh with the two women behind the bar, Aidy and Sam, see you...

Always enjoy visiting for one of their really well kept real ales. Friendly team, not eaten but the food looks good. Excellent.

We visited the other weekend for some food and were appalled at how staff acted while on shift. What I can only assume was the manager on duty was sitting down at a table next to the bar. Other members of staff were leaning against...

Starts off with we ordered 2 x 8oZ sirloin steak with scampi and garlic mushroom sauce. 1 x rare and 1 x medium rare. Food comes to the table and the waitress hadn’t a clue which was which. Bless her was so nice and apologetic....

While the food was O.K.6 out of 10.It was let down by long waits and the desert I ordered never arrived so I waited but was never told they did not have what I ordered. Would not ever return here.Save your money and go to...

Very poor service from this establishment. My wife and I had been travelling all day and stopped for a meal at 6p.m. on Thursday 9th December where, despite the adverts saying food all day, we were told sorry, kitchen is closed. We go regularly the...

I Visited the pub 2 weeks in a row for the Christmas markets and was extremely disappointed with the cleanliness of the pub especially the toilets, there was no toilet roll, the smell was awful and they were just generally dirty, and this has been...

Called in after the Accrington pipe band had played on the 1st December. Had hot steak toasties they were cooked just the way we asked for. The service was excellent and the astmoshphere was friendly. Will definitely be back.

Friday lunch in Skipton. We chose the Red Lion and were most satisfied. The friendly staff were informative and asked all the right questions, especially when I'd forgotten to specify how my wife likes her steak cooked (well done, or as I call it, burnt.)...

Had a drink here one afternoon and decided to return later in the week for a meal. Good selection of beers and lovely food especially as they offer a two mains for £11.49 deal most days

Went for a meal when visiting Skipton, excellent and friendly staff, we had steaks and these were cooked to our liking, good service, drinks reasonably priced. Seemed popular with local people so to me a good sign. Would certainly return when visiting Skipton

Walking past we spotted the Greene King sign and that chain being a favourite we had to investigate; so we thought we’d call in for a pint & maybe a bite to eat and we weren’t disappointed! Lovely welcome, warm atmosphere it was busy with...

My wife Christine and westie Ozzy called in for a meal on our first night at Skipton. We both ordered the pie and chips which would have been nice but the pie was microwaved and pastry was all soft and saggy. Prices and staff were...

We ate and drank here several times in late October and found the staff friendly and helpful. The draft beers were good and not too badly priced. We ate there once and the food was well priced and prepared well enough. No complaints.

Visited here on a weekday as I get AA discounts so thought it'd be worth a try.....Food was very poor no flavour and my girlfriends looks more like slop....when you can cook better at home how can you justify it....Also didn't help that the fella...

My wife and I popped in to this lovely pub whilst on our visit to Skipton Market. The staff were friendly and attentive even though it was very busy we got served quickly and seated ok.

Yummy food and friendly staff! Good food offers too. Two meals for £11.49 and the fish was amazing. Will be back

Went to the Red Lion in Skipton for food with some friends on Friday and the food was delicious! Staff were busy as it was a market day but everyone remained polite, friendly and the service was a 10/10! Would definitely recommend!

We visited the Red Lion on Wednesday, it was packed with it being market day but the service was spot on! The food was good value for money and all the staff we dealt with were fantastic, friendly and couldn't do enough for us, we...

Called in food on passing after dsy walking nice food friendly staff service was good understand they have rooms available will stay over on next visit as base for walking

We drove over to have dinner after being told how good the place was, on entering it was very clean, friendly staff and soon began to fill. We ordered Gammon for myself and a steak for my friend and didn't really take too long to...

Just eaten in here and it was absolutely disgraceful the food we were served. We complained and someone was supposed to be coming to speak to us. Waited half an hour and no one came so walked out. Pity you had to pay before eating...

We stopped here today with 2 grandkids the food was amazing the staff was very polite and very friendly especially the really pretty woman with beautiful nails my grand daughters words not mine lol went above and beyond to accomodate kids with colouring stuff kept...

The Red Lion Skipton is coping very well under the current situation offering a comprehensive menu with only slight restrictions. Staff are understandably rushed and very busy but maintain pleasant and polite. I had the 8oz steak with the usual trimmings and wife had the...

Called in today, tired after a morning wandering around Skipton. Staff at the bar, a lady, was so friendly and welcoming, took my order and, very quickly, a lovely hot coffee arrived, as ordered . All staff seemed busy, but friendly and attentive, took time...

Went for some lunch with friends. The food was amazing and came quickly. The staff were lovley and could see they all worked well together to communicate what customers wanted. Overall a fantastic pub serving fantastic food, couldn’t fault them at all. Will definitely be...

We had a drink and decided to eat there, the food was really quite nice and well presented. My gripe is that an older lady came in with a greyhound she decided on a table but then went to the bar in the meantime a...

Had to wait over 40minutes for our food then when we eventually got our meals, myself and my grandad had the steak which was cold, and was missing the onion rings!!! I asked the waitress to ask the chef to griddle it more for me...

Firstly we ordered some drinks, a fresh orang and a pint of Guinness, the man who poured the Guinness was obviously not trained very well as he poured it in one go and everyone knows that you put it 3/4 quarters and let it settle...

We ordered a main and starter. Having waited 40 minutes we had to ask twice when food would be ready, we were told it was on it's way. A further 20 minutes passed before a dish of slimy chicken wings arrived...asked for a refund and...

We went as a family after a long time. Arrived around 12.00 ish. I had to que up 3 times in order to get the starters. Around 1.25 our food had still not arrived. I queued again and asked for my money to be returned...
