I would not recommend the Tempest Arms at Elslack. I visited there with my mother at lunchtime one Friday and both ordered a prawn open sandwich at around £6 each. The description on the menu was "lashings of prawns". When it arrived, there certainly weren't lashings of prawns. It consisted of 2 pieces of brown break and butter with a small handful of prawns, iceberg lettuce and marie rose sauce. We also ordered a bowl of chips at £2.50. We were served a half full small dish of pale soggy chips. We sent them back and asked for a fresh "proper" sized portion. The bill came to around £17 for 2 prawn sandwiches, a glass of wine, soft drink and a small bowl of chips. Certainly not value for money, in fact, I felt that I had been ripped off. The service was average and we kept being asked by different waitresses if the food was alright. This pub is supposed to have a good reputation, but I have been told by a number of people that the food is hit or miss. The menu prices are expensive and I wouldn't eat there again.
