Pub Recommendation Wanted

[Gareth G]

Am going to a wedding in Skipton, Yorks in August. Wedding is on a Friday and am thinking of finding a pub to stay in on Saturday night.

It needs good food, a very good wine list (or failing that exceptional beer), rooms to sleep in and be vaguely on the way back from Yorkshire to London.

We'll be travelling by train so reasonably proximity to a station would be a plus.

Anyone know anything that would fit the bill?

Hello G

The Angel at Hetton should fit the bill http://www.angelhetton.co.uk/. It is 6 miles from Skipton so you could get a cab there and back and still get the Skipton - Leeds - London trains back home.

The food is good - can eat either in the bar or the resaturant or out on the terrace if its fine. The place is regularly featured in good gastropubs/good food articles and is good for locally sourced produce (eg it has black pudding made to its own recipe).

A few good local beers and a superb wine list - you'll see from the site that it has its own wine business and shop/tasting rooms. If you are after great beer drop in to the Woolly Sheep in Skipton market place which stocks almost the full range of Timothy Taylors ales.

haven't stayed there but the rooms look lovely and have heard good things about them. It's a quiet hamlet but bring walking boots as its in good countryside.

Let us know how you get on

Sorry, i meant the Angle at Hetton, not the Star, wrong location but still good.

Make sure you drink Black Sheep from Masham - excellent creamy ale from the Theakston family.
