Most Disliked
Some visitors note that the busy periods can lead to a longer wait for food, particularly during peak hours on Fridays and Saturdays. This might deter those looking for a quick bite. The advice here is to visit during lunchtime or quieter periods for the fastest service.
While the pub's casual environment is inviting, some diners wish for a bit more noise control, especially during crowded events. However, this liveliness is often part of the charm for many guests.
The limited dessert menu, although delicious, might leave those with a sweet tooth wanting more options after a hearty meal. Reservations are advisable on known busier days, especially around big sports events.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I ordered the giant Yorkshire pudding filled with mashed potato and beef, and it was absolutely delicious! The portion size was incredible — easily enough for two people, so half has gone in the fridge for tomorrow night. The food was perfectly cooked and full of flavour. Highly recommend this place — great value, generous portions, and it’s now available on Uber Eats, which is a huge bonus! Definitely a new favourite in Ripon.

We arrived at this pub having cycled across the Yorkshire Dales in the wind and rain. We arrived cold and miserable and Laura welcomed us with blankets and hot water bottles. She was even willing to tumble dry our sodden clothes. We then had an amazing lunch from a great menu and really good beer and left properly refreshed.
