The Foresters Arms

We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay at the Foresters, it is a rarity in this overly-commercialised day and age - with fantastic hosts, friendly locals and delicious home-baked food that gives it a really authentic, welcoming feel. I cannot recommend this pub highly enough.

Visited the pub today half way through a walk. Lovely cozy and welcoming pub with separate dining area and bar with flagstone floor. Sunday lunch was superb, sparks were flying off our plates. Three options for meat eaters and three for veggies - almost unheard of in most pubs I’ve visited. The meat free roast was huge, hot and very, very tasty. Reasonably priced too. Fabulous, well done.

Another lovely stay in this beautiful hideaway part of england. Paul and diane are excellent hosts ,run a lovely old pub with great food and comfy,clean accommodation. All aspects of our stay were brilliant,but diane's breakfasts with her charm and humour were memorable. Thank you both and we wish you all the very best for the future .

We recently stayed for 3 nights at The Foresters Arms, Diana and Paul were very welcoming hosts, creating a very friendly and inviting atmosphere to visitors and locals alike. Both breakfast and dinner were delicious and food served was of a high standard providing an excellent dining experience. Our room was very comfortable with a lovely view, making it a great place to stay. Hayden and Emma

THE BEST SUNDAY LUNCH. We visit regularly and recommend The Forresters to friends, colleagues and clients in the knowledge that they will have a fantastic experience, be it for Sunday Lunch or Evening dinning. Also helped by the fact that the 🍷 is superb, always a plus, as so many other establishments manage to serve a vinegar related consistency disguised as Red Wine!! Anyways back to the food and service. 100% consistency on both counts at every visit. There is always a very warm welcome from everyone at The Forresters. Diana, Paul, Charlotte, Jason and Molly are an amazing team and always go way above to ensure our trip is the best. Dianas food is EXCELLENT, freshly prepared, exceptionally tasty and very generous portions, no bought in frozen here. We have also visited in the evening, as with the Sunday Lunch, the quality of the evening menu is superb and there is so much to choice from, freshly prepared and of the highest quality (the chicken skewers are definitely worth trying, your won’t be disappointed).

Fancied a day off cooking Sunday Lunch so decided to pop up here and i reckon it was possibly my best decision of the year thus far. It is a lovely typical Dales pub with stone flags and low beams. The menu suits the pub and location. If you fancy stuff au jus or with a foam you are in the wrong place. If you want a proper Yorkshire Sunday lunch then you are not going to get better. The beef came out on a plate with yorkshire pudding, roast and mash, red cabbage roast parsnip. A big old lunch i thought to myself and thankfully no broccolli. The attentive and friendly waitress then brought out cauli cheese and more veg. A mammoth meal all cooked as one would want, beautifully soft red cabbage with a bit more tooth to the carrot. The mrs ate the broccolli. Proper gravy too, no kumps in this one. I just squeezed in a bit of sticky toffee pudding which was spot on. To top it all it was washed down with a couple of pints of Wensleydale ale that was sublime. All told just over £50 for 2 lunches, puds and drinks it was properly stunning value. Top location, fantastic proper Sunday Lunch, cracking ale, a brilliant venue. If you live within 20 miles and have not been give yourself a talking o and go.
