Charles Bathurst Inn - Richmondshire

On our recent visit to the Yorkshire Dales, we enjoyed an evening meal here due to it being the closest pub within walking distance to where we were staying. It is recommended that you make a booking for this pub as it apparently can get very busy, however, when we arrived around 6:00pm it was fairly quiet. Although our table was actually booked for 7:00pm, we were allowed to sit there from when we arrived, even though we did say we wouldn't be ordering food until around 7:00pm, this was no issue. The menu offers a good range of traditional pub dishes, we ordered; the beef and mushroom pie and the fish and chips. When our food arrived, it was nicely presented with great portion sizes, and it was really tasty! The only complaint we had (which is only very minor) is that the mushy peas served with the fish and chips were quite dry and cold, they certainly didn’t taste fresh.. Other than that, the food was great! The service was brilliant, staff were friendly and catered to us promptly. If we ever return to this part of the Yorkshire Dales, we would certainly book at this pub again.

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful Sunday lunch here with our 3 large dogs. The staff were amazing at accommodating us despite us not having a booking on a busy Sunday lunchtime and we had a wonderful table in a secluded area giving us enough space to settle our dogs and eat without playing lead swap all the time, which can be a real issue eating out with more dogs present at the table than humans! The service was fantastic and the food was amazing. Highly recommend and we’ll definitely be back!

Called in on off chance we could get a meal after a late dog walk. With a bit of jiggling they were able to accommodate us a we had a super evening meal. Highly recommend the Crispy chilli beef starter it was sublime! Good food, good service, great hand pulled real ale, what more could you want! Definitely coming back!!!

What a wonderful evening we all had at this delightful pub, the food and service we had was superb. We all enjoyed the perfectly cooked meal, well recommended.

Oh my. The food was absolutely delish! Best food I've ever eaten and I work in a pub/restraunt with great food! The service was absolutely fab! Best service we have had in a while. Each dish was delish! We didn't book but you definitely should
