We visited this charming ancient pub 5 times whilst we stayed in the village of Markington. The food on every visit was superb,the gammon steak and Timothy Taylor pie is the best we have ever tasted. We found it reasonable,cosy and received a warm welcome from Vicky and her team .
Excellent meal and excellent staff, highly recommended.
Lovely family owned pub in the beautiful village of Markington good food a d good vibes. Campsite has excellent facilities and is located close to the historic Fountains Abbey, Studley Royal deer Park and gardens, Birmingham rocks and the nearby towns of Harrogate, Ripon and Knaresborough.
The home made steak and Guinness pies were about 5" dia, chunky chips and a variety of veg topped with crispy kale. We listened to the accents whilst waiting for the food to come. Still the same lovely beams on the ceiling. Visitors should realy book meals but they fitted us in when we arrived at 6.30. A lovely meal and lovely staff - Thank you all.
A little off the beaten path, this characterful pub is well worth a visit. As we arrived before the lunchtime rush, Marie gave us a spontaneous guided tour, filling us in on the history of the place and her family’s involvement (as featured in the old photos around the dining room). The beer (Timothy Taylor Boltmaker) was great, but the real highlight was the food: five of us ordered separate dishes, but each was superb - it’s rare to see imaginative dishes produced with finesse in a pub which seems to have such a low profile. I’d heartily recommend giving it a go, before it becomes so popular it’s booked up weeks in advance.
Traditional pub with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, great drinks menu, however the real star is the food, a real surprise and a true hidden gem. Outstanding selection from a chef who really understands their craft.
