One of the most spectacular pubs you 'll visit.... Ran by one of the most bizarre families you will ever meet! Visited on a few occasions and not made to feel welcome. Visited again recently and qued for a long time whilst an elderly lady served. Asked for a pint and two cokes. Asked what Crisps she has and she looked at me as if I was stupid and pointed to a wall! Recently read online that the pub had closed and the community had bought the pub and was now operating it... Tried to make small talk and asked her about this... She bit my head off... You need to check your information.... The internet is obviously wrong. Etc etc Asked to pay on my card and she declared that she was 80 year old...
Today, we visited The Green Dragon as we were in the area and wanted to see the pub featured in the TV drama 'All Creatures Great And Small.' We had messaged the pub on Facebook the day before to confirm their opening hours for Monday lunchtime. We were told that they are usually open if the weather is good from 12ish, but only serving drinks. The weather was nice, so we decided to visit. However, when we arrived at 12:45 after visiting the nearby waterfall, we found the pub to be closed and dark. Two other couples, including one from America who were fans of the TV show, were also disappointed as they were specifically looking forward to visiting. It was a shame that the pub was not open as...
What a wonderful find! We felt incredibly welcomed and ended up returning twice before our trip was over. The landlord was fabulous and even lent me a book on local history. The bar area had a great historical charm, possibly dating back to the 13th century. There was plenty of character, and there was even a charming puddle behind the pub. A visit to this place is a must, especially before the Gentleman landlord retires. The pint of peculiar beer was top-notch as well. Thank you, Mark, this was definitely the highlight of our tour of North Yorkshire. Maybe we should go in on a bid for Pendragon Castle together?
We arrived at The Green Dragon having done our homework for Hardraw Force waterfall.We arrived in the pub.We asked very politely if they were doing food.WELL you would have thought we had asked for the Crown Jewels.The older lady behind the bar barked back at me “ we are a drinking pub,no food “.The pub owns the falls,behind the pub on their land we found YES a cafe doing food.No mention of this from the lady in the pub.Pub was very original Drovers Arms in new series of All creatures great and small but needed sorting out as it was chaotic.Be Advised.

I adore this unspoilt pub and been comming once a year for years . We mix with the locals next to the fire and are always made welcome. The landlord is always pleasant and makes you welcome please don't change a thing. Some reviews are not happy as no food available. This is an old pub not a restuarante and I hope it stays that way so many good times here and hope there are plenty more to come
would be great if the pub could update their website for opening days etc as when I arrived on a Tuesday found the pub closed no notice to inform me as to when it will be open for custom. So very disappoint came all the way from Essex to view and have a lovely pub lunch
What a great pub this is. The landlord is second to none a charming lovely man. You won't get a better public house with more charm it's so rustic. 3 blazing fires it takes you back in time we loved it.
Not very friendly and very overpriced drinks, almost felt we were being charged what the owner thought he could get away with. I would miss this pub and visit the friendly, cheaper pubs in Hawes

A lovely traditional pub. The locals were really friendly. We went for a drink before going to see the Hardraw Force Waterfall. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!
The restaurant is only open during the day on Saturdays and Sundays. The bartender was very friendly, but the pub could use some upgrades.
