Kings Head Hotel, Ripon

it has not changed much over they years but are more bothered about selling food than beer had to wait to get served the young lad behind the bar was taking food out taking orders for food and serving beer another pub doing cut backs on staff one or two grumbling about waiting but all were passing through so it dose not matter. DATE OF VISIT 29TH OF MAY

Black sheep beer was excellent. Mixed grill was poor, especially the sausages which were horrible. You expect butchers sausages in Masham not cash and carry economy sausages. Beer 9/10. Food 4/10

Large Hotel situated in the town square that offers accomodation and is set up mainly for the diner,although the drinking customers are also welcome.Icalled in on Easter Monday and tried the steak and bombardier pie which was supurb.

Posh and tastefully decorated hotel adjacent to Masham's large marketplace, with surprisingly cheap beer all things considered. More food oriented of course but the beers are well kept. Black Sheep Bitter and Ale, Theakston's Best Bitter and Old Peculier, usual kegs also available. Comfortable bar and informal dining area with bare boards and tongue and groove wainscotting much in evidence. Jazz background music, a modern fireplace and some pleasant art work attempt a touch of sophistication. Inevitably perhaps, there is a big screen TV, although it looks more than a little out of place here.
