We treated the Northern Aunts to lunch on a sunny November Tuesday. Comfortably busy in the bar, with a surprisingly raucous birthday group in the restuarant.

Early on a Sunday evening.The pub was very quiet. We sat in the squishy chairs at the end of the bar and put the world to rights.Not my idea of a Dales pub.

Like a trendy minimalist bar:food oriented. Not my kind of pub any more. We came in to wait for the fish and chip van.
