Thixendale

A single roomed pub in a quiet village in a valley inhabited since the Stone Age. Serving Jennings Bitter, Tetley Bitter and a guest ale. This pub is in the heart of walking country and so you will find many of them at any time of the year having a pint after an exhausting walk. Food is served here too, both lunch and evenings and is home-cooked. Children are welcome in the garden - which kind of precludes a winter visit for families. For winter there is a real fire that warms the bar and a beer garden for summer. There is accommodation here from £25.

Additional Notes:

Took 27 cyclo tourists to C.Keys 25/06/05. I had contacted earlier in week to be gruffly told no bookings and just turn up. Must admit told publican 14 -18 people expected. Arrived at 12.00 to give them plenty of time to prepare food .Only 4 others in pub. Both publican and chef were VERY VERY rude to EVERYONE. I am very thick skinned but could not believe my ears listening to a the barrage being volleyed at the "guests". They obviously flapped at seeing many customers wishing to give them money for meals/drinks. I have used this pub before and recommend the beer and food. The staff however I cannot understand why they are in a trade serving the public with 0 skills in politeness and manners. I was very embarrassed I can tell you. Never ever or don't wish to see a repeat in a pub like this one again. A thank you for the trade, a smile, pleasant conversation and please recommend us would have been nice. Never again !!

I took a party of 4 people there - visitors from afar. We had a 4 month old puppy (Jack Russell) and were refused entry in a VERY brusque way because of the dog. The place was 2/3 empty. The dog was totally well behaved and as it had been walked we knew it would not disgrace itself. Like the person with the cyclists, I would NEVER recommend this place. Why do such people run a little pub in such a rural setting? (08/09/06)
