Beautiful pub very cosy log fire roaring away and the staff are lovely gorgeous village for a good dog walk and a nice cold pint half way through
Lovely little village pub
Proper pub, I loved it and had Tetley’s on tap which is rare in these times. Also weird art in the car park which is only a positive
We were working in the village fiting an oil boiler and new radiators in a property. We visited this beautiful pub at the end of the day. What a find cracking pub great open fires great staff and locals who made us feel very welcome. The beer was also first class. Thank-you for making sykes plumbing and heating welcome.
Very disappointed with my most recent visit. Myself and my husband often visit, usually around a couple of times a month as we do the brockadale nature reserve walk with our dog and call in for a drink. Usually the bar staff and people are friendly. Today I thought I'd drive down with my mum as it's a lovely old pub, lots of character and has a nice fire so perfect for a drink and a sandwich. My mum thought the pub was lovely so we thought we'd stay for a second drink. About half way in to our second drink an old woman came and smashed her wine glass down on the table and said to me and my mum really nastily "can you move up as there is some more people coming and we always sit here!" So me and my mum were so gobsmacked about how this woman spoke to us and I said "wow that was a bit rude there was no need for that" and she ignored me. Me and my mum finished our drinks up but felt very uncomfortable as we were constantly being watched by this woman, another woman and a man throwing evil looks at us. I took the glasses to the bar and still mortified by what had just happend I decided to speak to the woman who was working behind the bar. I basically said that the woman had been really rude and that there was no need for her to speak to us like that, the bar woman did apologise on her behalf (as she witnessed it and chose to do nothing about it) and sort of brushed it off and said "oh she can be quite rude" as if it is acceptable for customers to be spoken to like that by other customers. I said "I understand they're probably locals but people like that are going to drive customers away" but the bar woman didn't seem bothered, probably because this woman had bought her a drink. I don't think I will be going back as it was not a welcoming environment at all today which is a shame as we don't usually have any problems. Me and my mum obviously 'spoilt' someones Friday afternoon. I am also frustrated as I feel like if it was the other way round and I spoke to an old woman like that it would be a different story but no, it seems acceptable for an old person to talk to a younger person like rubbish! Very disappointed!
Lovely family friendly traditional pub. Eat excellent food inside or out. Relax in a gorgeous location. Quiet clean air welcoming atmosphere.
Lovely little country pub. Staff aren't the best. They don't keep an eye on what order people arrive at the bar, so will serve locals first. The pub was packed and only 2 members of staff on so had to wait ages to be served
Very good little village pub with large beer garden and plentiful outdoor seating. Has some additional seating to the front as well. A very well kept and clean pub with extremely shiny brasses. Natural stone walls and chunky wooden beams. Handpulled cask beers were Black Sheep and Farmer's Blonde. Also had a selection of sandwiches available. All good, would revisit and would recommend.

Nice little pub in the village of Kirk Smeaton. There's a small choice of real ales on hand pump and a good selection of commercial beers and lagers. There's a huge seating area at the rear and a large car park. There is also a decent sized patch of grass with a football net for the kids to play on.
