Reviews in Skipton

Myself, my wife and our little boy (4 years old) have, this evening, had a fantastic experience at the Boars Head (1st time visit). We had completed the Ingleton Waterfalls Trail, and were very tired as my wife had sustained a leg injury, and this was also the longest trail that our little boy had undertaken. On our way back towards the Ribble Valley, we decided to try the Boars Head. I nipped in to have a quick look at the menu, and was pleasantly surprised that the Sunday roast menu was available, even though it was a Bank Holiday, (particularly as my little boy loves his Yorkshire puds). We enjoyed a truly delicious meal. We often try different carveries and this was great. The pork crackling was fantastic and the vegetables were cooked really well, not over cooked as they often are at other pubs. The desserts were delicious, in particular the apple crumble - large pieces of apple, generous amounts of 'crumble' with just a hint of cinnamon - fab! The experience was topped off by the level of service. The young lady who served us both at the bar, and who served our meals (we never caught her name) was brilliant, nothing was too much trouble; really friendly. Will definitely be returning, probably often. Would most highly recommend this pub/restaurant to others!!!

friendly efficient staff. Relaxed atmosphere, delicious good quality food. Clean and get a good welcome.

Visited 3rd march 2013, four of us enjoyed a varied selection of main courses, Roast Beef, Steak Pie, Scampi, all good, good guest ales, Youngs, Moorhouses, etc. Would highly recommend, the tragedy is, the management are retiring, hope whoever comes in is as good.

Nipped in to browse the goodies and decided to stay for lunch. (was on holiday in Yorkshire) wonderful home made soup and coffee cake for pud was to die for ...and very generous portions. Excellent value for money. Pity I don't live nearer (200 miles away) can thoroughly recommend

Visited 21/9/2012 good country pub, always a good selection of beers, Wainwright , Bombardier, Black Sheep, etc. Good atmosphere, very busy Friday nights, fish and chips good, as is the gammon, prices OK, would recommend.

We spent an enjoyable few days on and off over a week in the middle of August. The rooms were fine - nice and big - and the baths - big. The breakfast was brilliant - as was all of the food we ate. The price and quality / quantity was great value for money and Craig the chef was excellent. The service was quick even at busy times. Derek and all the rest of his staff were so friendly and socialble - as were the locals - even when we won the play your cards right jackpot!!! We wish we had found this little gem years ago. We will have no problem to return and spend more time at thew Boars Head. We wishh Derek and all his staff the best. The Osbornes (Somerset) and the Griffiths ( Herefordshire)

I visited the black bull as I was working in Skipton I did not have any food as I was threatened and assaulted by one of the regulars for winning some money from the gambling machine they had in the bar and was offered no help from the bar staff but to be accused of being unlawful in my actions and told by a bar member who was announced across the bar he was studying law that I should go and get a education and read a law book being a north east business man I will no longer be bringing my business to Skipton I see this ad a great disappointment as I always believe it to be a welcoming place

Dreadful ! The battered fish was burned, the chips were sparse - i got seven chips on my meal of ham egg and chips. The chicken was tough,the panini was cold . None of the food was warm enough and the portion sizes were a joke. 11 of us had a meal there and only 1 was happy. Mass produced rubbish with no thought. We all ordered together and some meals came ten minutes after I had finished mine ! The real sting in the tail was that it's two meals for a tenner everyday except Saturday . We resented paying full price for rubbish that was sub standard and inadequate.

Sunday dinner was the best our group of four had ever had out. every week we try a new place, its by far the best ! plus the service was superb. WELL DONE to all. I don't want to try anywhere else. Look forward to next time.

Recently on a visit to North Yorkshire we called into the Boars Head for something to eat and drink. The food was excellent. It was quality and tasty home cooked food. Compliments to the chef. The Proprietor Derek who served us our food and drinks was most helpful and welcoming. It was that good that we returned again the next day!

Top pub in a beautiful part of the world.

it was great i love it, it is the best restaurant in Yorkshire xx

If your driving, walking or canal boating through East Marton you must make some time for a meal and a pint at The Cross Keys pub. A very warm welcome will greet you from the Landlord his staff team and the locals too. We have just had a couple of weeks on a canal boat and discovered the Cross keys and had a fantastic time. The menu is brilliant, we went in for Sunday lunch and i would fully recommend the Lamb followed by the home made rice pudding with rhubarb compote. The belly of pork is outstanding along with the sticky toffee pudding, great service and fairly priced. All the food is resourced locally and all the puddings are homemade the best pub grub i think i have ever had. Quiz night on a Monday night is good fun too only a pound per person with a light supper thrown in great value for an entertaining night. WE would recommend the Cross Keys without a doubt and will be returning on our next holiday.

We stayed for 3 nights in Gargrave and found the pub on one of our walks around the village. Brilliant food. Massive portions, shouldn't have had a dessert but we just couldn't say no. Great place to eat, we came back for the rest of our stay to eat each night. I would recommend it to anyone

A great cafe and deli, Fantastic sarnies and jacket spuds, Some great puddings as well. I have also had breakfast there,,,yummy!
