Visited twice as they allow dogs, first evening found the food excellent and service attentive, so impressed we returned the next day for a Sunday roast which was simply delicious Would certainly return and recommend to anyone visiting the area

Called in to meet friends, decided to have a meal, the restaurant was fully booked, but we were served a beautiful roast beef downstairs as soon as they could. Great pub to have in an amazing village. Staff and owners Charlotte and Jane are always...pleasant and accommodatingMore

We rang on the Sunday and got a table for 6 that evening. The pub is a small intimate building with lots of character. The meals were all of excellent hone cooked values and my roast beef dinner was great value at £10. All our...plates were empty which is always a good sign. The puddings were the star of the show - the pina Colada cheesecake and the sticky toffee pudding were fantastic. Highly recommended!More

Picked the pub due to its reviews and to the fact it was fairly local to us, we arrived and as we waited in the bar area there was a group of men who had had a bit too much alcohol and where using some...choice language, mainly every other word began with F, the landlady didn't seem bothered in the least by this but in a bar with children and couples in it not a great thing. Anyway we went up to the seating area up stairs and we where basically left to seat ourselves as the 2 girls who where waiting on seemed pre occupied with something else I know not what, when they took our order we had to wait an hour for some basic food(pie chips and peas) this place has the potential to be a great eatery but it is in a state of limbo, not sure whether it wants to be a pub for locals or an eatery, with a bit of thought and maybe a revamp it could probably do both but as it stands now we wont be going back as there are plenty of other pubs doing better food and service with a much better ambianceMore

We had the early evening Sunday Roast, it was value for money and just the right amount. Friendly staff in small country pub

We often stay at the Old Chapel cottage and book with Air BB it is just behind the pub .. Dogs welcome. The food is always fresh and we'll cooked. Sunday late lunch is a must when we stay. Friday Night is full of locals...and we have a great evenings banter with locals and visitors alike. It makes my weekend walks around Talkin Tarn and Gelt Woods worthwhile. We cannot recommend both venues in Hayton enough. Great Real Ale and English wines alsoMore

a great little pub who fit us in for a meal without a booking. the food was pretty average pub fair but the service and welcome made up for this. good value too
