Situated in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, The Wensleydale Heifer may be within easy reach of the A1 and M6 but it still feels totally rural. A traditional white-washed inn complete with leaded lights and swinging sign, The Wensleydale Heifer gives the visitor a real flavour of Britain meaning it’s popular not only with locals but with tourists searching for the real Yorkshire. From the lounge, with its comfortable leather settees, country pursuit paintings and imposing fireplace through to the wicker seating, beamed ceilings and eau de nil painted walls, the interior could have leapt from the pages of Country Homes magazine. The contemporary British menu includes seaood from across Britain plus locally sourced meat and veg, all prepared using the Wensleydale Heifer philosophy – keep it simple.

    As always, our visit to the WH was outstanding on all counts. We visited this time with some friends who also loved everything about the place - the food, the ambience, the service etc. Marvellous food as always - we all went for 3 courses - unheard of with us 4! And we all finished each of our courses!!!! We enjoyed not being rushed through so we had time to chat, relax and enjoy the pleasant atmosphere. We will - of course - be back soon. Thank you

    Booked the restaurant and were placed in the fish bar. Food was okay. My wife had the seafood pancake as a main and it was very watery and bland. Provably be a while before we return. Shame.
