Lovely friendly country pub. I just wish I'd taken some photos! Askham Richard is just far enough out of town to make it a special trip, but far enough to make it 'proper countryside'. I'll be coming on my bike next time, for sure.
Excellent place for beer and lovers of pie. Incredible value and tasty food, very well done:such a refreshing change! Family businesses like this need your support. PS Still no card payments * Sadly, since this review, the manager was dismissed, before his '2 year ' stint entitled him to employment rights. This is apparently Sam Smith's policy. I haven't been to see the new people.
Lovely tasty home cooked food. Lovely setting. Very friendly staff. Made to feel welcome. Good value.
I love this family run pub. It's the real heart of the village. Friendly bar staff, good quality food and at good prices. The beer is very reasonably priced too. When the sun is shining, it's a joy to sit outside and watch the ducks on the village pond. And when it's colder, there is always a log fire in the hearth to give a warm welcome. Would definitely recommend.
The pub has recently reopened after a change of Landlord. This is now a family run pub and has rapidly become a friendly welcoming place to quench your thirst and satisfy your hunger.. The bar is very reasonable as you would expect from a Sam Smiths pub but the food is outstanding for the price..and what better place to sit and eat on a summers evening but outside looking across the beautiful village green and duck pond. . If the weather is not so nice, inside you have a warm welcome and can play pool or darts in the back bar.. All in all well worth a visit..
