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.

We frequently visit and stay in Askrigg, and a major highlight is always the food and drink at the Kings. The atmosphere is relaxed and timeless, the tranquillity deep, and the staff are superb - humorous, cheerful, helpful and attentive. We ate twice in three days there; Pie Night was excellent, so much so that two of the six of us had it the second occasion. There's a good selection of wines, and the beer is superbly kept.

We booked for three meals during our stay in Askrigg. All excellent meals and the service good. The bar area is full of atmosphere with friendly locals. We love the building, looking forward to when we can return.

Excellent evening meal at the Kings Arms. The starters were tasty. Main courses of delicious fish pie with plenty of fresh vegetables. The special of butterfly chicken with a Wensleydale cheese sauce was gorgeous. Staff all helpful and efficient .

Lovely ambiance. Food good. Restaurant good, but it was rather cold. Surprising considering it is early April

We had a fabulous meal. I needed to change the booking twice but this was not a problem. The staff were great and the atmosphere was amazing. Thank you

Really impressed with this place. The food was spot on, good quality, full of flavour, and you can tell it’s been done properly rather than just thrown together. Atmosphere was great as well. Nice balance where it’s got a bit of a buzz but still relaxed enough to actually enjoy yourself. The whole place just feels easy and welcoming. Service was probably the standout.
