The Royal Shepherd Inn is a fabulous, friendly, traditional pub. We ate here twice and the food was delicious and portions were generous. Friendly staff and warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Really nice food, friendly service. Dog friendly so was a bonus, traditional English pub. Sunday roast service was great and nice sticky toffee pudding, all a great price. Would definitely return.

We had never visited Skipton and were entirely dependent on TripAdvisor to locate somewhere for lunch. The reviews of this pub seemed very positive so we decided to give it a go. On first impressions, the place was gloomy and the atmosphere was matched by the lugubrious barman who served us. He was clad in a scruffy tee shirt, jeans and dishevelled trainers, was unengaging, unshaven and monosyllabic. We ordered and paid in advance for our food. There was quite a long wait as it became apparent that the kitchen was small and was quite busy. That was not a problem as we were in no particular hurry. When our eyes accustomed themselves to the relatively dark surroundings, it became apparent that the entire place was in need of a deep clean. Nevertheless, we were committed to our purchase and we waited in trepidation for what would appear. When the meals were delivered (it would be hyperbole to say served) by the barman, we were astonished. My wife's mushroom risotto resembled soup with mushrooms and rice floating in it. My fish and chips had been cooked in fat well past its replacement date. Given that the only member of staff visible was the barman, there didn't seem any point in complaining. We just left after a couple of mouthfuls. I note that the local authority has rated the establishment as excellent in terms of food hygiene which frankly, given the state of the place comes as a complete surprise.

Whether you're looking for a nice pint or something delicious to eat, this place is a must. There are lots of good pubs to choose from in Skipton, but this is by far the best. Can't wait for our next visit.

Visited Skipton today (mothers day) needed to clear my head & keep my mind occuppied as it was also the anniversary of my brothers death. It was a lovely day out even if it was a rainy day. This was our first visit to this pub & it wont be our last. Really friendly staff & lovely food. I got upset when a song played in the background reminded my of my brother. The lovely lady behind the bar brought my food & reached out to ask was i ok. This was a nice caring touch, she wont have known what was going on in my head etc but showed empathy. I felt so comfortable there and will go back on my next visit. Really was so friendly. Thank you for your kindness and making a tough day nice x

All started well ordered drinks and food, friendly staff, good background music, then the owner arrived! In my opinion had an uncomfortable conversation with bar staff that customers didn’t need to hear then carried out some business telephone conversations on loud speaker while sat at the bar, yes rude to listen to others conversations but couldn’t avoid as not quietly spoken! I wouldn’t return.

We visited at 12 noon on 31 December for lunch. We ordered the corned beef hash and cheese pie. The hash was simply a dish of layered mashed potato, corned beef, baked beans and 3 fries eggs. Not really what I was expecting. The cheese pie was adequate, veg was very sparse and chips hard and not cooked. You could actually count how many peas there were on the plate, 37. Quite a disappointing visit as when we left, we saw so.many other pubs that looked so much nicer.

Came here for lunch whilst visiting Skipton for the day. Meals were good quality and quite big- very full after but tasty! Could tell the gammon was from the butchers which I loved! Staff were very nice. Pub decor was interesting. We were sat with a printer on the next table which maybe could have been tucked out of sight instead? If you want good pub grub, I would recommend!

First night for drinks only. Second night we were running late and desperately looking for somewhere to eat. We were accommodated wonderfully. Well done to everyone!

I booked this based on feedback from Tripadvisor. It is a very scruffy looking pub with old tables and chairs where dogs are allowed on the furniture. However, the feedback said food was good so we took our table and ordered our food. Husband had sausage and mash, I had shepherd's pie. The mash on my pie was lumpy and quite "dry" for want of a better word, needed a lot more butter. Husband enjoyed a few pints of Landlord which is his favourite ale which is really only the redeeming part of the night. The girl behind the bar was alone all night and served the food as well, which for a Friday night, tells a lot about how busy it was. There are far better places to eat out in Skipton. Beer was good.

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