Situated between Darlington & Northallerton
We are a popular 17th-century coaching inn situated at the end of a row of roadside cottages on the Darlington to Northallerton road, with a linked bar, lounge and games room with low-beamed ceilings.
Underneath the games room were once cells that detained the legendary highwayman Dick Turpin on the way to his execution in York.
We have guest beers from a local microbrewery.
We are ideally situated for exploring the North Yorkshire Moors and Yorkshire Dales, with the Croft Circuit nearby. Dogs are welcome.
A Warm & Friendly Welcome Awaits
With real ale, craft beers and ciders we have both an indoor and outside seating area, a covered smoking area and a cosy log burner.
Offering our traditional Sunday roast as well as a varied weekday menu and steak night we have Sky with multiple screens for all your sporting events.
Eat in or takeaway, view our menu’s to make your choice.
Sit back, relax, and let us take care of the rest.

Food is really good, well prepared and hot when it reaches the table. Really nice presentation too. Good selection of drinks, my current favourite is pint of Hair of the Dog. Service is very friendly.Posted on Andy Hindle2026-07-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Good food, friendly and helpful staff. Deserts delicious!!Posted on Chris Honeyman2026-04-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Called in for something to eat, they had one table available and made us feel very welcome. Food and drink was excellent!Posted on Geoff Trewhitt2026-03-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I only dropped one star on atmosphere because we were there during a quiet time, and was difficult to say what it would have been during a busier time. The atmosphere was still brilliant considering. The food was perfect and the staff were freindly, although not very chatty. This may seem negative, but I like to find out the history of the staff and the history of why they are here doing this and basically being nosey, but the right answers can have me support them by visiting more often when Ive enjoyed the experience. I liked the Italian way of sitting at the table and being looked after without going to the bar, and they made sure we were ok without pestering to often. Conclusion it was a smashing time, smart place and great food. Perfect; will visit again. 😀👍Posted on KTY062026-02-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Foods lovely and reasonably priced. Staff are friendly and helpful 🙂 The steak and ale pie is amazing and very rich in flavour, the chicken starter is also a go to. Best to book in advance.Posted on Neil Carter2025-11-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
