Reviews in Settle

We picked the Craven Arms for its location. I was travelling from Bradford my friend from Appleby We had a lot of catching up to do. We loved everything about the place, people and service. We arrived at opening and chatted till closing at 3pm. At no time did we feel hurried from staff. So friendly and welcoming we are already planning our next visit. I would give it 20 ⭐️ if I could. The food was delicious, service spot on!

Pleasant pub, nice relaxed atmosphere, the food is a cut above the average in the area, and I've tried everywhere within a 5 mile radius. A varied menu that has something for everyone, from vegan's to meat eaters and in-between. Our party of 5 all with 'very' different tastes all said they enjoyed their food. The service was also very good, friendly/personal but always with the right balance of professionalism - from the management to the chefs to the younger waiting staff, they all did their jobs really well. That is certainly getting to be unusual in the local area. Someone at this place knows how to run a restaurant! Prices are ok, I think they are trying hard to keep a lid on their prices in these trying times, anyone who knows hospitality knows that's not easy currently, some diners don't understand how hard that is now. So, I've given 5/5 on every aspect including value for money because of this. Would I go back is always the key question I ask myself? The answer is a definite YES, we had a lovely experience.

Very nice welcome from the Landlord, who made every effort to provide quick service on our way to a performance in Settle. Great service and food and very grateful for that.

This is a great place for an excellent, safe gluten free meal with good choices, from starters to desserts. Staff are helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and professional, and the atmosphere is calm and relaxing.

After reading reviews of the Craven Arms we decided to pay it a visit while on holiday in the area. We were welcomed by very friendly staff who were very attentive. The food was excellent, very tasty and well presented. We would certainly recommend eating here, in fact we booked for another visit before we left which speaks for itself. Well done to all the staff and thank you.

Great pub, good beer and food .

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying a delightful Sunday roast at The Craven Arms, and I must say it was an absolute treat. The experience was made even more enjoyable as we sat outside in their picturesque beer garden, basking in the warm sunshine. Now, let's talk about the star of the show—the lamb shoulder. It was cooked to perfection, boasting succulent and tender meat that practically melted in my mouth. The flavors were rich and robust, with just the right amount of seasoning to enhance the natural taste of the lamb. Accompanied by a medley of perfectly roasted vegetables, fluffy Yorkshire puddings, and a generous helping of velvety gravy, it was truly a feast fit for a king. The attentive and friendly staff at The Craven Arms added to the overall wonderful experience. They were quick to assist, ensuring that our dining experience was top-notch. The ambience of the beer garden was idyllic, with lush greenery, comfortable seating, and an atmosphere that exuded relaxation and contentment. To top it all off, the pub offered an impressive selection of beverages to complement our meal. From crisp and refreshing local ales to a variety of wines, there was something to suit every taste. In summary, my experience at The Craven Arms was nothing short of exceptional. The combination of the sun-drenched beer garden, mouthwatering lamb shoulder, impeccable service, and a wide range of drink choices created an unforgettable Sunday roast experience. Whether you're a local or just passing through, make sure to treat yourself to this culinary delight. You won't be disappointed!

Absolutely excellent food. We had dinner and breakfast during a one-night stay. The halloumi salad and lamb hot pot were outstanding for dinner, and the salmon and eggs were perfect for breakfast. The Craven Arms served some of the best food we have had in our two-month tour of England and Wales.

Very good food excellent service in a cosy atmosphere. Will definitely dine here again
