This is by far the best pub in Middleham for the quality of the beer. Is now a free house with 5 ales on. Wensleydale ales feature with a other Yorkshire beers. There is no food as yet but they do plan to open their kitchens soon. It's has been taken over by a Camra member who is passionate about the pub. Good luck to them in the future.

Lowest down the hill in the Market Place this is a Greene King house and more plain and pubby than the other licensed establishments in Middleham. Built in white washed freestone rather than being left plain as with the Richard III and the Black Swan. The pub is on a steeper slope and so you enter at one level to a room containing just a pool table and drop down to a bar area with the counter then there is a sitting room beyond. Greene King IPA and Black Sheep bitter on the two handpumps plus half a dozen keg taps much as you would expect. The ever popular red and cream colour scheme predominates and the furnishing is pretty traditional apart from a low sofa in the back room, the large back room also has the racing pictures and there are two big screens in this friendly pub. There are a couple of bar stools including one from a tractor.
