This pub is supported by its centuries-deep roots in Wensleydale.
We both honour and seek to connect you to this beautiful place and its people by curating the very best seasonal food and ales sourced from the Dales and surrounding regions.
We invite you to appreciate the story and share our passion for where your food comes from, to bridge the gap between farm and table, and to help our rural community and the land on which they live thrive.
Locally sourced ingredients will always be on our menu, and our specials will reflect what’s in season.
Generations of the Finest Yorkshire Meat.
We partner with Hammond Butchers, based in the very heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. For generations, the Hammond family has nurtured relationships with farmers throughout the Dales, and slightly beyond, to bring the highest quality meats from Hawes, chicken from Nidderdale, and pork from Thirsk to your plate through our kitchen.
World Famous Cheeses From Pasture to Plate.
In the 12th century, French Cistercian monks from the Roquefort region, who had settled in Wensleydale, started making the now world-famous Wensleydale cheese. We're proud to continue supporting local dairy farmers and cheese makers with our selection of Wensleydale cheeses.
Although our curated cheese selection changes, we frequently feature cheeses from Wensleydale Creamery in Hawes including their impressive Yordale Wensleydale.
Hand-Made Preserves — That Preserve.
What better to pair with a buttery smooth Wensleydale Cheese than the snap and spice of chutney from Raydale Preserves in Hawes? Born from a need to diversify their farm in the late 1970s, Raydale now sources its ingredients, such as strawberries and rhubarb, from other Yorkshire farms. We're delighted to support another local legend throughout our menus
And as they say themselves:
“As Raydale Preserves has grown we have restored dry stone walls, dry stone barns, developed permissive footpaths and replanted ancient woodland within the valley. We are proud of our heritage and hold our role in the preservation, as well as the development, of our local landscapes and communities close to our heart.”
Grand Beer From
Right Here.
We strive to minimize the mileage of our beer for freshness, environmental considerations, and community support. Yorkshire is abundant with amazing real ales, and you'll find plenty of quality options from our good friends at Wensleydale Brewery in Leyburn. Additionally, we feature staples from the area, such as Yorkshire Dales Brewery in Askrigg, Pennine Brewing Co in Bedale, and Blacksheep and Theakstons in Masham.
