The Station Hotel

Decided to take a walk with my parents in Easter Saturday and it had to not be too long. Found a lovely walk in Birstwith and of course needed a pub for afterwards! The Station was very quiet which was fantastic for us with 3 dogs. We'd reserved a table and were a little late. The staff were really friendly and helpful. I was surprised how quiet it was given the lovely weather and they have a fair bit of outside drinking/dining space. Food was nice. Ok not spectacular but then having only eaten one meal we can't really judge. Met the chef who is from Somalia originally. Really lovely guy and some different aspects to the menu due to him using some ingredients/items with a Somalian twist. I think it would be nice if he could add a few more unique dishes actually. Always fab to have something different. Dog friendly, has vegetarian/vegan choices and also very smart, clean toilets! A lovely little find overall.

A typical british pub but fantastic staff that make the pub incredible. I've tasted lager shandy's all across the country but this is definitely in the top 5% that I've tried. They have an amazing deal on thursday for steak night, 2 steaks with all the extras and a bottle of wine for only £20. I recommend this pub so much for a beautifully cooked meal with a gorgeous aesthetic. If I could give it 6 stars I would!
