The Buck Inn Restaurant

This place delivers exactly what it advertises. This is not a posh location but a walkers inn. Muddy boots and dogs are welcome. So with that, do not expect luxury. These are simple accommodations, but it’s clean and comfortable. WiFi in the rooms (or my room) was nonexistent and no cell service, but good service in the bar area. Wolfgang is such a nice man and cares about his guests. FYI, fellow walkers stayed at the Wainstone Hotel and said it was awful and they left as early as they could. Stay at Buck Inn.

We went for a ride out and popped in for lunch.....they had completely sold out of food!! As we arrived a man immediately told us that they had no food (apart from the huge collection of cakes), so we decided to stop for a drink and come up with a plan b. There was a large selection of lagers and 3 beers. I had a nice pint of Timothy Taylor's and my husband had a lager shandy. Although we didn't eat, the welcome was warm, the pub and toilets were spotless and the menu looked very tasty! It would seem that we will have to go back to try the food 😉

Excellent place to call, has 6 to 8 German lagers on tap plus 3 taps of Timothy Taylor's, Sunday dinners very good with everything genuinely fresh , how many places give you properly cooked asparagus with Sun lunch? Remainder of menu has Germanic flavour , all food is excellent. Very popular with walkers and dogs very welcome

This is easily one of the best pubs I've ever been to. It's small, quiet, and feels like you're coming home. The selection of beers are great, the food is amazing (I had the burger - highly recommend) but Wolfgang, Helen and Catherine, who run the place are really what makes this place special. Very welcoming, super helpful and lovely to talk to. We camped in the beautiful garden for one night and woke up to have a superb full english breakfast. If you're coming past this way, or deciding on either staying at Kirkby or Chopgate on your Coast to Coast walk, definitely come here, you will not regret it!

There is an alternative history in which this country pub with rooms stayed derelict and no one got any delicious beer, or any all meat gluten free and amazing sausages, or rich tasty stews, or a comfy bed after a long walk in the moors. Instead, Wolfgang and Helen arrived having been around the world (including Australia), and made all those good things happen. So, I’m glad we live in this history, recommend you drop into Chop Gate from the moors and dales to enjoy some fine things from Baveria and equally fine things from Yorkshire. They make the day much better.
