Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Punch Bowl Inn
Located in the small, elongated village of Low Row and set in a prime position overlooking Swaledale. With all the outside benches at the front taken, we were lucky to find a spot in the main bar / dining area (with another room used as a restaurant). Black Sheep and three beers from Yorkshire Dales Brewing - Swale Trail Pale, Askrigg Ale and Butter Tubs - were available from the four handpumps.

A long thin pub mainly a restaurant but will cater for casual drinkers. Pleasant modern decor with lots to look at, including some mirrors made from church windows. There are three main rooms, a bar with dining tables, a smaller square room with dining tables with a small oil lamp on each making a change from tea lights and effing candles. At the end is a larger dining room. Four pulls serving decent but not outstanding Black Sheep, Theakstons, Bombardier and Rudgate. Nice views across Swaledale from the front drinking patio. Wittenden and Ale & Hearty have described the atmosphere correctly, like the CB it's mainly a restaurant and to prove it we got a service check from every member of staff when we ate there recently.

This pub has been a highlight in my wife’s family history, but had undergone a lengthy fallow period.We were pleased therefore to hear that it had been bought by the team behind the CB Inn in Arkengarthdale.Accordingly, we all went in for a meal.The food was fine, the welcome, and the fires cold.
We gave it a year and tried again. This time we came in for a pint early on a Friday evening: the fire was lit, but the welcome was chilly: something much more interesting was happening at the back of the bar. We weren’t planning to eat, but they didn’t know that.
There were a few couples in, but it was hardly thronged, and no local faces: a pub in such an isolated community such as Low Row should be at the heart of things.
The fixtures and fittings were beautifully made, and clearly no expense was spared in the refurbishment, but the place was soulless, like any trendy city bar.
I really wanted to like this pub, as I’ve heard so many tales of its heydays in the 60s and 70s. I very much doubt if dogs would be welcome, and the Riggwelter was average.
