Great food, selection of beers. Reasonable prices

Friendly pub with decent real ale

The Ulleskelf Arms is recently under new management and they have done an amazing job with the revamp. The atmosphere is welcoming, variety of drinks is good and the food is highly recommended. The Sunday roast was great and we will be returning again to try the rest of the menu. They usually have weekly events ranging from quizzes, beer festivals and food vans that are always great quality. Definitely worth a trip out!

Place looks lovely. Staff really nice. Going back

Good choice of drinks, nice staff, clean. looking forward to visiting again

What a nice little place this is....the outside seating area was lovely albeit this is weather permitting! I'm from London so the prices for me are inexpensive! Will definitely be visiting again in the near future with friends!

Very nice Sunday lunch in pleasant village pub after a nice walk down the river. Friendly staff too!

Very surprised to find this tucked away with a great choice of menu, excellent service and most delicious food. Will definitely be going again

Lovely pub which seemed to be popular with locals from the village. Nice atmosphere created. Loved the food. All seemed home made good quality and unpretentious. Exceptionally good value.

Wonderful Sunday Lunch today we could not fault it. Piping hot, tasty and lots of it!The Owner and Staff were more than accommodating with Dexter the Owners Pooch also providing a warm welcome.We shall definitely be dining here again!Thank you Ivan and Barbara

we called here on the off chance forgetting it was mothers day they were fully booked so we stopped for a drink then the landlord asked the chef if it was OK for us to have a meal as there was a spare table the meal was excellent we will return soon

A friendly pub. Very dog friendly.

Great pub. Perfect atmosphere for a quick pint. Decent menu for some good eating. Friendly staff to top it off.

We love this pub for a family meal at the weekends, a pint or gin & tonic for catch up with friends or a stop off in the beer garden on a sunny day for a lite bite. Always great service with a surprisingly good menu (not often found in local pubs) and range of specials as well as their fun theme nights and events.

Food service 🍺 & pricing all v good.

A lovely pub. Very friendly chap behind the bar and a lovely dog!

In a time of pub closures, villages are desperate to keep their pubs open. This is probably one of the greatest pubs with a good all round reputation over the surrounding villages, the landlord is hard working and tries his best to please and accommodate people to the best of his ability. I am astounded that some locals are so small minded that they feel the need to post negative remarks about a place that can seat 10 people on a busy afternoon at 2 hours notice. Perhaps they have an alternative agenda? Maybe they or a close relative works in a restaurant nearby that could not accommodate them!The quality of the food that come out of the kitchen is certainly not what you would expect from a PUB but more of resturant quality at pub prices. The craft beers vary with usually 4 available to chose from, and the choice of wines are limited but good. Again this is not what you would expect from a local village Pub.Monday nights, when most establishments are shut the ullskelf arms is getting busier and busier with its Pie night!!!, Fantastic homemade pies and a pint for a tenner is not a huge bill. All the pies are made in house with localy sourced ingredients, I dont know how they do it. My recomendation is the fish but I have never heard a bad word against any of them.Well worth a visit and families are welcome.

The pub looks like it has been recently renovated. We had a lovely lunchtime meal - food was good, kiddies menu too for our son. The owner was very friendly & chatty & at the end as we were going his dog came out into the pub wanting his belly tickled - a relaxing lunchtime meal!

Visited our local pub last week and unfortunately was very disappointed.From luke warm food (some of which was returned to be heated) to a distinct lack of staff. The night was very busy and to be fair to the pub we were a relatively large party which booked just 2 hours before we wanted a table but that being said one person behind the bar, one person waiting on and one person floating around doing not a great deal didnt make for a pleasant experience. All that topped off with a hefty bill and a chair breaking whilst one of our party was sat on it means we wont be returning in a hurry.To be asked if he was ok would have been a start but to make a joke about ruining the furniture without a second thought for the 50+ yr old man on the floow is just poor customer service at its best.

Excellent food and service with the bonus of meeting Dexter the pub dog

Visited here for their Monday night pie night. Great service and food couldn’t fault the food and prices. Great selection of well kept ales. Definately worth a visit if your in the area or a special trip if your not

Grand place. Good food. Warm welcome

We moved into the village 2 months ago and the Ulleskelf arms has become our local pub, gorgeous food and very friendly staff. They also have a lovely pub dog Dexter who greets everyone when they arrive, you couldn’t wish for a friendlier local pub

This was our first time here, and we were so glad we found it even if it was by accident! Really warm welcome, great food and beer. We had a roast, but the pies looked amazing too. We will definitely be back!

Third visit and not disappointed food,beer and welcome excellent.Menu quite small but prefer quality to quantity.If you want great food and reasonable price you won’t be disappointed.

Best kept a secret and for locals only.....sssshhhhh. Brilliant food, beer and staff.

Great food tonight at the Ully Arms. The duck was beautiful and the Ox cheek and horseradish mash was sublime. Came out for a quick tea but it was more like a top restaurant food experience, just lush.

Visited this evening with my partner and his parents. We were just looking for a quick dinner and so glad we happened to come here. The pub is pleasantly decorated and there is a beautiful dog that greets you when you enter. She doesnt jump or lick, just a nosey and comes for a scratch then wanders off. We ordered our starter and mains, two mussels and one black pudding. I had the mussels and they were amazing! Lovely warm bread served with and the cream sauce was delicious! There was ample in the bowl i shared with my partner after he finished his black pudding which he loved too. Then for main we were all shocked at how big the portions were and they didnt lack in taste because of this. They were yummy!! I had beautiful ribs that fell apart and the others loved their pork dish, steak and fish and chips. I personally wouldnt order a starter again as the main was so big i couldnt finish it but thats not a negative! Then the puddings, i had panacotta from the specials and it was delicious! The others had chocolate and warm ginger sticky pudding. I tried them all....delicious too! Overall lovely evening, so much so i have cancelled my birthday meal at a curry restaurant and bringing the whole clan here instead!

Passing through the area on business I hit on Monday night Pie night. Lovely fish pie, perfectly cooked veg, great pint of Timothy Taylor and friendly, knowledgeable staff. Plenty of others enjoying a night out and great value, what's not to like. Good to see a rural pub thriving.

Superb lunchtime menu, excellent food good choice of beer including Timothy Taylors Knowle. Great pricing and a lovely friendly dog. Staff were very sociable, helpful and friendly. Great service all round lovely atmosphere very clean and modern. Nice seating area outside.

Lovely little village pub, friendly and service was excellent. Steak cooked rare to perfection and pulled pork pie with “proper” chips and a medley of veg was original and tasty

After looking at a house in the village we decided to have dinner and a few drinks at the local pub. The ales and food were both excellent, as was the atmosphere and service. Really enjoyed our visit here and will be back!

When so many village pubs are closing down and getting boarded up, it is so nice that our local has had a fantastic facelift inside and out and is now a great place to go for great food or chill out with a drink after a busy day. The staff are friendly and the waiting staff are eager to please to ensure you are looked after. We've eaten there a few times now and have no complaints with tasty food served in good portions. We particularly enjoy the pie nights and theme evenings. I would certainly recommend a visit whether you are a local or are just passing through. A warm welcome awaits all.

No specials, and only 4 of the 7 main courses available at 7.30 on a Saturday. Waiter said there was no chef. Food was at best, average. Over cooked and dry. Only 3 dessert options. Having read other reviews, I think we were unlucky and we will give it another chance. Want to support local business but this was very disappointing.

Came here on a lunch date with my husband after getting a leaflet through our door in Tadcaster. Staff very welcoming, food was yummy & it’s a very clean, quiet laid out pub. Dexter “the dog” was lovely, never came into the dining area whilst we was eating but enjoyed a cuddle at the bar. Wish I’d had more change to tip you more than I did... great service

There are quite a few pubs within a 5 mile radius that offer a very good Sunday lunch but as we are moving to Ulleskelf we thought we would try it. We wanted it to be good and it was, we were over the moon with the place, very good food, nice decor, friendly staff, good selection on tap, and to top it off a pub dog! You know you’re in a good pub when it’s got its own dog! Very well behaved as well

We were a group of 6 attending for a friends birthday meal - service with a smile was excellent . Small menu but plenty of choice , and food served was beautiful. I can’t understand where the bad reviews about the dog have come from . “Dexter” the lurcher was laid on his bed , keeping himself to himself and only really moved when customers ( myself included ) encouraged him over to say hello. The owners continuously checked to make sure he wasn’t making a nuisance of himself which of course he wasn’t .... overall a fantastic visit and would defo recommend

I visited the Ulleskelf Arms a few weeks ago, what a change from how it used to be! It's much more pleasant and friendlier, and much cleaner! The menu was really good which I didn't expect and the food was excellent, and I have no real criticism of the prices (how can pubs like this survive without at least being allowed some profit?) so my overall view of the Ulleskelf Arms is positive.

Second time we have visited for Sunday lunch, good choice on the menu, even to the fact that they offer a reduced size portion (at a reduced price too!), If i have one complaint it is that maybe the staff could be a little more aware when glasses are empty, and check if you want a drink, but it's not a major thing, and I know some don't like staff checking, and prefer to call them when they want. As for the dog, we have not noticed him(?) mooching around while people are eating, and the dog is well behaved.

We took our extended family for Sunday lunch. Couldn't fault any aspect of the service or the food. Well groomed staff follow a rigorous patter to ensure diners are happy, the Bar ales are lovely, the menus are precise and attractive and the décor is clean, relaxed and airy. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, and we're quite picky, on the whole.

I don't know what the last review was about, I've been in many a time as a local to the village for food and drinks, both offer perfect service for me and many people I talk to in there. I never used to come down here until the new management took over and I must admit they all done a fantastic job of either keeping you company or serving you. Also the pub dog is fansticaly well behaved. 5 stars for me.

Menu is overly grand for the food it provides & is overpriced.

Four of us ate here on Saturday evening. The staff were welcoming and attentive, the menu imaginative with specials on the blackboard as well. Main courses included veg (unusual these days but another plus point)

I visited this pub last weekend with my step-dad. Just turned up out of the blue looking for a quick Sunday lunch as neither of us could be bothered to cook. The gentleman behind the bar (I'm guessing the landlord?) was very accommodating and made a table available to us straight away. We both had leek and potato soup which was gorgeous followed by a beef roast dinner with all the trimmings. Again, it was very nice and plenty of it. If I had to give one small quibble it was that my step-dad doesn't like his meat pink so was a little disappointed that he wasn't asked how he liked it cooking. He did however eat the majority of it so can't have been that bad. Anyway, I would definitely recommend and will definitely be back.

Random find whilst driving around the area, very welcoming and excellent food. Portions were a good size and excellent value for money. Great choice of beers.

Following last Fridays visit when 4 adults and 2 children were very well looked after with excellent food and drinks we all returned this week for Sunday lunch. Again good selection on the menu ,3 local ales Isac poad golden ale was really good . Staff very accommodating with the children . We will be back.

Monday night is pie night where you get pie and a drink for a tenner. The steak and kidney pie was excellent and the veg was cooked perfectly (not mushy like a lot of places do).

The Ullaskelf arms is in the sleepy village of its name near Tadcaster. (Easy to find).

What an absolute fantastic local. As one of the "Bar Flies" that evening it was thoroughly enjoyable. Manager and Staff are first class.

Called in here as i heard the food was ok. Walked in to be greeted by a bar full of rowdy local 'bar flies' and no one eating. Needless to say it put us off immediately and we did a U turn, spent £55 at another place.

I can't help but copy other statements as to "Lovely Sunday Lunch" but it is simply true. That being said my wife was disappointed with her "medium rare" roast beef which was much closer to "well done". I suspect the reason was that we were the first diners of the day and she got the first cut which is clearly more cooked than the centre but she did not get what was advertised. The rest of us did, we all enjoyed our mains and sweets and the pleasant service. Highly recommended, but if you like some blood in your beef its best to say so up front!

Fantastic neealy refurbished pub. Good selection of beers and great menu. We had a bacon, black pudding with poched eggs salad, a gigantic burger (yum), haddock and a fish and chips. All amazingly cooked and very sensible prices. I will come back by all means.

A really welcome addition to local places to have a yummy lunch. Straight forward good pub grub. Friendly & attentive staff. This place deserves to do great.

Went for Sunday lunch in this lovely village pub. The menu was concise, but good. Food really well cooked, fresh and very tasty. Beef was tender and plenty of it, with good veggies and really nice roasties. I Wanted to try a pud, as they sounded lovely, but couldn't eat any more food! Maybe next time. We will certainly return for lunch and other meals.

We visited the pub now for the second time for food as a family of 6 adults and 1 child. The food is very good I can definitely recommend the pate, the black pudding salad,burger, gammon, fish and chips, the creme brûlée and sticky toffee pudding. These are all some of the favorites enjoy both time we have been. The staff are all lovely and polite.

We heard the pub was under new management last summer so called in for a few drinks. Heard they were doing food so gave it a try and was not disappointed, great food, really enjoyed it and great value too.

Kept out of the place for three years, it was dead drab and dingy. Now it's vibrant serving good beers good food and great staff. I really cannot fault it, great to see everyone going in there again especially the locals and regulars. Spotlessly clean and great atmosphere.

New management have no people skills at all very rude won't be back there in a hurry shame as I have been going in to that pub for 25 years. sooner they go the better for the regulars

The Ulleskelf Arms has had a relatively recent change of management. They have employed a young enthusiastic chef, who until recently worked in a nearby good dining venue. They have 4 real ales, 3 rotating (mainly Yorkshire breweries), and Timothy Taylor's Boltmaker as standard. A good pub with refreshing new management willing to listen to their customers and dedicated to improving overall customer experience

We've lived in Ulleskelf for 15 years and have seen several landlords fail to make a go of our 'local' but the Ully has a real buzz about it these days.

I visited with my mum. We booked a table quite last minute, and when we arrived they explained there would be a little wait for food as they'd had some late arrivals. We did have to wait nearly an hour for food, but in that time, were kept up to date with the waiting time and the staff were all more than attentive and really friendly and warm.

Recently under new management and already there is a great new buzz about the place. We have eaten here twice and on both occasions the feed has been very good. The fish and chip Friday is very popular so ensure you book in advance. We called in on a Thursday for tea - such a pity it was very quiet but the pie was delicious. The only thing I would change is the "fussy" food presentation - chips in a basket and on fake newspaper, little dishes for peas etc...is really not needed as the flavour and quality of the food stands up for itself. Will definitely be returning.

Well the Ulleskelf arms is once again serving food. The new landlord has improved standards all round. The establishment has a new air of refreshment to it and feels alot more welcoming.

I came here today to try there Sunday Lunch(Only started doing it today a well!), there wasn't much choice but to be fair there first serving. The beef I thought was a little expensive to be honest as didn't say what cut it was from! The pork was very nice just missing the crackling! I think the Yorkshire puddings need to be in a bigger tin than a muffin tin, maybe a few more roasties as well, the veg was very nice just needed carrots to add a bit of colour.

This pub has been completely upgraded and is now very welcoming, the staff are lovely and the beer very well kept.

This once carbuncle in the small village of Ulleskelf has now been refurbished to an unbelievably high standard. its now under private ownership and run by Stephen and Andrew Wharton. You will always find Stephen behind the bar ready to serve you with there selection of Craft Beers, Select wines and Gin choices. Only been running the Pub for a month but the atmosphere great, particularly on a Friday and over the weekend.
