On arrival in the Dales we tried at about 6pm to get a meal at the the Rose and Crown but were told that they were fully booked. Fair enough, so we booked for 8pm the following evening. We arrived at 7.55 but were told that the restaurant was closed. If we found a table they would take our order. The table was not very clean which was a reflection of the whole place. They took our order 3 Hunters chicken, one with chips only and 1 large Yorkshire Pudding with pork filling. This seemed to cause some confusion as they asked several times about the Hunters chicken requirement. We were surprised that an establishment of that size couldn't supply sparkling water when we tried to order the drinks....
We were welcomed in by a very genial landlord: no complaints there. They didn’t have my drink of choice and I was told “you’re in Yorkshire now, love” which I didn’t really appreciate: I’m aware of many, many pubs in Yorkshire that sell things other than a pint of beer for the man and a glass of something fruit based for the lady ; The decor could do with a bit of updating it’s a very old pub and it would be sacrilege to change it, but it does look a bit like it hasn’t been decorated in thirty years. The pies were absolutely delicious, however the veg was uninspiring and i suspect out of the freezer. Quite expensive meal for what was basically a home cooked pie and some frozen veg although t...
We stumbled upon this charming pub without consulting Tripadvisor first, and we were pleasantly surprised! We ordered a chicken and leek pie and hunters chicken, and we were blown away by the generous portions of chicken in both dishes. The meals were exactly what we were craving and just as delicious as any other place we've tried while on vacation. My wife is a big eater, but even she couldn't finish her plate this time. Overall, a very enjoyable meal that we highly recommend.
This is the first review I have ever written. I normally wouldn't bother, but this pub is a hidden gem and deserves recognition. We went for a weekend break and had the best time! It is a lovely pub in a gorgeous setting. The bar staff are amazing. Rob and Andy were so welcoming and put on two great nights. Thanks so much guys, we can't wait to come back again! Kindest regards Fran and Nay

Visiting Bainbridge for Beamish rally so decided to book here for Sunday lunch thinking it would be a proper Sunday roast,how dissapointed we were. We both had roast beef,2 slices of the thinnest beef from the butchers deli,4 small boiled pots,even though we asked for mash,frozen veg the smallest yorkshire ever. Not the best we have ever had expensive, £35 with 2 soft drinks.
Stopped here after hiking in the area on a Friday night, and they were good enough to accommodate us despite being fully booked. A straight forward menu, we both had the pie, (steak and ale and Stilton, potato and leek) which were both excellent with a load of vegetables. Friendly staff and simple food done well
Great location and lovely country pub We called in for lunch on our way to a wedding I chose lasagne and the portion was enormous It was very tasty and was accompanied by chips My husband had a very large piece of pie and mash The service was good and the landlord was friendly
The staff greeted us warmly and we had a lovely dinner at the restaurant. The menu featured classic pub dishes, all of which were prepared excellently. We enjoyed a drink at the bar with a real fire afterwards. Overall, it was a fantastic evening.

We ate here while staying at a B&B in Bainbridge. Good menu. Chicken and mushroom pie was excellent with good quantities of seasonal vegetables. Beef Yorkie was also very good. Nice atmosphere with friendly and helpful staff.
