About The Kings Arms

The Kings Arms on Askrigg main street is an imposing Grade II-listed building that was once owned by the renowned horse trainer John Pratt, who famously won the 1872 St Leger with ‘Imperatrix’. It’s also now an indelible part of Yorkshire Dales folklore as the location of ‘The Drovers’ in the original ‘All Creatures Great and Small’. The Kings Arms is still packed full of character with a striking open fire, flagged stone floors and old photographs and equine memorabilia spread throughout. It’s open for food and drink daily from 12 noon onwards and proudly showcase a diverse range of beers from the local village brewery and the surrounding area.

Excellent Sunday lunch beef cooked to perfection and also all the veg which there was plenty of service was very attentive but not too much in your face Would highly recommend but make sure you go hungry
Rachel Ovington
A gorgeous dinner, lamb casserole and mash was just what was needed in the wet weather. There are only good dishes on the menu and only good people in the pub Thanks for a lovely visit

We visited the pub a year ago and it was great to see the same member of staff still there, as she was so lovely the first time we met and one of the reasons we decided to stay in Askrigg this time. The pub is beautiful the staff are amazing and I had the best fish and chips ove eaten in ages. We shall definitely pop in again before we head home

I booked for a party of ten to eat on Saturday 27th June. I can honestly say that it is one of the best meals I have recently had and this was echoed by other members of the party. We had meat-eaters, vegetarians and gluten -free in the group. There was a really good choice The food was fresh, so tasty, served really hot and beautifully presented. There was no waiting for missing dishes or sauces, everything arrived at the same time. The staff were so professional, very helpful and very pleasant and friendly - sometimes these are qualities missing in this industry. I am more than happy to recommend The Kings Arms as we had a wonderful evening in this charming pub and restaurant and will definitely be returning.

Very mediocre. That’s why we’re not with you tonight
Clare Duffy
Really great starter of mushrooms on gluten free bread - deeeelicious! Thai veg curry slightly Thai flavoured but not near to the real thing. I booked a table for 9 and had excellent service from the helpful staff at the Kings Arms. We will definitely return. The Mushroom and Brie wellington was a hit too, as were the Fish and Chips. Lovely pub, great service! Thanks to all the team.

Everything was very good apart from the salad with my lasagne which had been drenched with dressing. Unfortunately i didn’t think I would need to mention no dressing when ordering the meal.
