I just called for a pint to suss it out as we were staying in a cottage at the rear of it.
The young lady behind the bar was pleasant and served me a pint of Theakston's. The pub is quite small, and most of the locals were engaged in a game of cards with others looking on. I asked about food and was told they are not doing it at the moment. I went into another room which had a football machine, dart board and a slot machine. I drank my pint and left. Stayed in the cottage for a week but didn't bother going back in.
I have just come back from a lovely mid week two night stay at the Black Bull in Middleham.
I stayed in room 1 which was very spacious with a large double bed and superb shower.
The owners Sam and Harriet plus the rest of the team are all great hosts and you really feel like you are part of the local community staying at the pub.
Breakfast is also superb and set me up well for my cycling adventures.
MIddleham and the surrounding area really is a beautiful part of the country with plenty to explore right on your doorstep.
I will certainly be back again soon.
Stopped by this weekend, lovely pub, games, such as dominoes, available. Friendly for both kids and dogs. Staff really nice, and happy to accommodate asks for less requested items. The previous time we went there was 25 years ago! It’s much improved since then. I was wary of going in, but would go back any time. Could possibly do with a bit better marketing outside, to make it seem more appealing to families during the day time.
