The best restaurants serving British food in Swaledale Richmondshire Yorkshire and The Humber

Missed out on first visit as closed, so made a detour to try the fruit cake and cheese. It was delicious along with very good scones, cream and jam. Generous pots of tea too. Great after a walk in the Dales

Bar tender did not know his whiskeys. And they did not carry all they had listed

We were disappointed back in the summer when this wonderful pub was closed so we were delighted to read that it had re opened as a community pub, I must say they have done a fantastic job, we called in for Sunday Lunch after a decent circular hike down to Gunnerside. We were both made to feel very welcome as was our Dog. Drinks were good and the Sunday Lunch was absolutely delicious, everything was cooked to perfection and the service was very efficient and friendly. Don’t usually do puddings but glad we did, again the puds were delicious. If you are in Muker or passing through please call in and support this great pub you will be made very welcome. The Ladies that looked after us were great and you could tell we mattered to them as customers.

The best pies we have ever tasted. I had locally sourced rabbit with mushroom and leek which was tasty, hot and came with a pile of creamy mash, braised red cabbage and a jug of gravy. Perfectly seasoned and a very generous portion. My husband had steak and ale pie with chunky chips and peas. Service was exemplary and the atmosphere was warm and relaxed. We will be back!

We were the only people staying in the Kearton, and we were renting the 2 bed apartment. The owners could not have been anymore helpful. Didnt sample any food, but have visited many times and have always found it lovely

Great experience, very remote part of England

Visited on Boxing Day and had a perfect lunch - hot sandwiches and chips, all cooked perfectly. Friendly staff, very welcoming to our fairly wet dog. Would highly recommend and we will be back

The location is simply fabulous. At the top of Swaledale with views all around. Set up for walkers - so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Mixing with fellow walkers meant a very sociable stay. Room was good size and comfortable. Restaurant bar and lounge were of high quality and brought a high enjoyable stay. Matt and Dave are great hosts. Thoroughly recommended.

Lovely overnight stay at the Kearton. Adam and Caz are the new owners and made us both feel very welcome. Comfy bed and bedroom with all the amenities you need, along with the peace and quiet of Thwaite meant we slept like babies! Woke refreshed and ready for our fabulous English breakfast. We will definitely be back and are sure Adam and Caz will make The Kearton a huge success!
