Bay Horse Inn - Craven

We decided to stop by on a whim and inquired about food availability. They were offering a Sunday roast with a variety of meats to choose from. The service and the food were both excellent, and we highly recommend this restaurant for great food at a great price!

I was recommended this pub for dinner by the owner of a nearby B&B, as it was the only option in the village on a Sunday evening. The pub was a bit busy (as expected for a Sunday), but I had no trouble finding a free table. When the waiter brought me the menu, a chef also approached and informed me that they had run out of lamb, but he could prepare fresh beef with sides instead. The beef with sauce, Yorkshire pudding, baked potatoes, and boiled vegetables were delicious. As a foreigner, dining at this pub gave me a taste of the atmosphere in the English countryside on a Sunday evening.

We stopped by this cozy little pub while passing through, and although they didn't have food available due to a new chef starting in March, we enjoyed some drinks. The bar was neat and nicely decorated, with a friendly lady serving us on her first day. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a real fire adding to the charm. The tables and seating were well-kept, and it appeared that the place had recently been painted throughout. The toilets were clean, and they offered a good selection of real ales. We look forward to returning when the kitchen reopens to try the food, as we believe this place will only get better and busier.

I came here for dinner, so that is what my rating reflects. It’s a nice enough pub with a reasonable selection of beers, but the kitchen staff had no idea how to cook a steak. It was grey and unseasoned; clearly the grill was not hot enough to start. They seemed to try to compensate the quality with quantity the blue cheese sauce I ordered came in a jug that must have had half a pint of the stuff.

We were staying up the road and the Pub was recommended in our info folder. Well we certainly can see why. The pub staff were so welcoming, the food amazing and very good value for money. Shame we are not here longer. Thank you.
