Grade 2 Listed market town pub facing onto the main square with food available (not Sunday evenings from October - Easter). The comfortable interior has been opened up into a single room, although with distinct drinking areas, and the Sunday carvery is popular. A showcase for Wensleydale Brewery beers, Theakston's Old Peculier is also available in summer. Sells OAP lunches on Fridays. Meals on Sunday may stop earlier if the food runs out.

Information for this venue is provided by the North West Yorkshire Branch of CAMRA
