West Witton, British, Modern Restaurant Guide

In a “superb setting in the Dales”, father-and-son team Lewis & David Moss are behind this quintessential gastropub-with-rooms (including one room with a James Bond theme). “The team is superb, and the food (including seafood) speaks for itself as getting a table at short notice is extremely difficult”. NB – canines will love it (“the most dog-friendly pub I’ve ever visited!”), down to getting their very own sausages for brekko.

Jonathan & Janine Harrison’s eighteenth-century inn in a Wensleydale market town continues to attract solid ratings all-round for its well-priced, modern bistro fare.
