The Cavendish Arms, Embsay, is ideally located just one mile from the market town of Skipton, at the gateway to the Yorkshire Dales, 40 minutes from Leeds, Bradford and Harrogate. We’re also convenient for Lancashire, Cumbria and the North East.
We believe that we have something to offer everyone. Whether you’re looking for a good meal, a proper pint, a venue for a get together or just time to relax, we’ll do our best to make sure you leave happy.
All our food is freshly cooked, on site, by chef and licensee Owen Pugh.
We offer a wide range of traditional pub meals, alongside more adventurous dishes on our weekly-changing special boards. All ingredients are sourced as locally as possible, some within the village itself.
The dining room, with it’s warm wood glow and views over the gardens, is a wonderful setting for bar meals, buffets or simply drinks with family and friends. We can tailor every occasion to suit your requirements and your budget so please drop by or call us to discuss details.
At The Cavendish we’re also very proud of our beer which we serve using the higher maintenance AutoVac system. We think the extra effort is worth it.
On a sunny day take your enjoyment outside with a stroll in the beer garden: find a quiet table or sit on the grass and simply watch the world go by.
Well behaved children and dogs are always welcome.

Nice traditional village pub serving good real ale esp. Butcombe bitter at a sensible price. Never eaten here but looks good.
Spent two nights in the camper on the car park , had drinks and meals , all very nice .The Landlady and staff worked really hard behind the bar and in the kitchen. I think it was busier than they thought so was a short delay on serving the food. Its was nice and good value. Dog friendly too there are many woodland walks directly from the car park, with a stream to wash the dog. 25mins stroll into Skipton . A great place to stay for free.
we rang ahead to see if we could park overnight with our little dog and reserve a table for the evening to have some food. They were super lovely and the food was amazing! I will definitely come back!
