   The best pub in the world. That probably sounds like an exaggeration, but for me, this is *the* quintessential English pub. When I close my eyes and imagine a pub, it looks like the Roebuck Inn. A warm, inviting atmosphere with real coal fires, relaxed conversation, tasty and very reasonably priced drinks. In the Summer, a great beer garden. The perfect place end a countryside walk. Whenever my friends visit York, I make sure to take them here - and every time they've comeback, they've made a point to visit the Roebuck Inn. Pubs like this are unfortunately a dying breed. The village owes Jo and Amanda a debt of gratitude for running the place, they are always super friendly - Appleton would be at a huge loss without them here.

   A lovely old Sam Smith's pub which is clearly a very popular local. Comfortable & cosy with some interesting artifacts around the rooms. Open only Thu-Sun at time of writing (August 2024), we went for the 4pm opening time to celebrate my mother-in-law's 94th birthday - she was born in the village of Appleton Roebuck in August 1930 - and the bar quickly filled with folk who were clearly mostly locals. The chat was bubbling and the atmosphere was very pleasant. To the best of my knowledge the pub doesn't currently serve food. There is a large beer garden but dogs are not allowed anywhere in the pub, stars off by this reviewer for those two reasons.

   As close to The Moon Under Water as it’s possible to get. Magnificent wet pub, with three fires going in winter and a guaranteed warm-welcome and friendly chat with strangers at all times. No phones or music, just the warm buzz of lively conversation. Truly stunning pub.

   Notice on the door stating that they have a no family policy and families are to make use of the beer garden only - not ideal in winter! If you have a family I would recommend you avoid all Samuel Smiths pubs to avoid an embarrassing rejection from any of their pubs.

   Friendly Sam Smiths village pub. Log fires on in 2 rooms nice and cosy. Dart board available. Typical Sams... I like it but not for everyone. Nice pint of Old Brewery.

   The pub itself is nice and very reasonably priced, but the brewery appears to demand that they only take cash and that customers aren't allowed to use their phones in the pub. No food and only open for 4 days a week. Sadly, a missed opportunity.

   'Its a great country pub." It is small, friendly and oldy-worldy... This is a 'gem' and is well worth a visit. Lee and Emma will make you feel welcome... Have known the pub for about 16 years. Tip: Nuzzle up next to the Yorkshire Range, if its a chilly night. Or in summer, as it is now, catch the tail of the Scarecrow Festival if you can...
