looking for a stonking pub to cycle to somewhere in Yorkshire.
good food, cracking ale, open fires, you know the type.

any idea’s greatly welcomed.

Tan Hill Inn (T’highest pub in britain)

The Inn at Hawnby – YO62 5QS
Or
White Horse Farm Inn – YO18 8SE

Both in the North Yorkshire Moors, that’s not too far from you is it??

Toss is always banging on about the Guy fawkes Inn in York.

Yorkshire’s a big place

Norfolk Arms (Ringinglow) or Cricket Inn (Totley) are good if you are in Sheffield.

Lion Inn on Blakey Ridge is good if you fancy doing Rosedale Chimney (if you’re lucky you could get snowed up there for a week)

Don’t think I’ve ever been in a bad pub in the Dales, but there is one in Wenslydale which we were told is dreadful (“Is it dog-friendly ?” we asked some locals – “Dogs maybe, humans – no”)

A pint of Black Sheep in the Tan Hill is particularly satisfying if you’ve cycled up there

The Black Bull in Boroughbridge Tony. No telly, no games machines, no music, no pool table, just good beer, decent grub, fire, good landlord, good crack with the (sometimes crazy but nice) locals.

Dog and Gun in Glusburn fits the bill for beer/food/fire.

Few decent pubs in Masham or Malham.

The Angel at Hetton is very nice.

Fine as long as you leave before the locals get full of ale. Once ‘entertained’ they end up fighting.

Another vote here for the Lion Inn on Blakey Ridge, cracking food and a nice place to have a drink.

Blue Lion, East Witton.
been a while since I’ve been mind, but it was good.

Chequers at Ledsham tonight.

Maybe a bit too close to home for you though Ton – hardly get warmed up.

Pub in Wensley is nice. Forgot the name, but is the one at the bottom of the hill down from Leyburn.
