Doing the C2C I popped in at lunch time and I had a vegetable lasagne which was absolutely delicious! The owners are very friendly and it seemed that the other guests appreciate this place as well as I could hear they were fully booked for dinner during the week. Please keep going as this place is just great.

Very busy popular pub in a great location. Good choice of cask beer. Excellent food (including vegan and vegetarian dishes) and pleasant staff. Although right up to the road it's got outdoor seating.

We stayed at Gunnerside for the weekend and booked a meal at The King's Head. We both had veg hotpot and apple/blackberry crumble with custard. The atmosphere was very welcoming and friendly. The people were lovely. Nice quiet pub, no music, lovely fire.

My friend and I had a pint of Black Sheep before our trip into Gunnerside Gill. The King's Head is a lovely pub. Perfect location, really picturesque, quaint inside and with a great owner. We didn't try the food but I'll be taking my girlfriend at some point for a proper meal because it looks worth it. I can imagine when the fire is lit on an autumn evening this pub would be one of the most welcoming places on earth. Beer wasn't over priced which is always a bonus. 5/5

Lovely warm welcoming pub to take a lunch break on a long walk on a cold day in Swaledale. The Swaledale Trail Pale was the best beer I’ve had in a longtime

We stayed on our drive up north. The room was spacious & bed comfortable. We were in the room above the function room. We didn’t realise until the morning, so were a bit wary of the creaky floors. The bar has an excellent atmosphere and we were lucky to get a table for dinner, it was that busy. The pies are amazing & the lamb shank shepherds pie inspired. Breakfast was also delicious & the eggs Bene possibly the best I’ve had. The village is lovely & the pub a perfect distance to take our dog on a walk to the Ure river along the circuit path.

A cosy, traditional pub, with fireplace, curious objects and ghost history! The service was excellent and food equally as good.

This is a really lovely countryside pub. The outside area is a great place to have a pint in the evening sun, and there’s a good variety of drinks. We went for dinner twice in a week - all the food was excellent, and decent value. The staff were all very friendly, and the atmosphere was nice and cosy inside. I would definitely come back!
