ROB Camra left this review about Royal Shepherd Inn

Called in here twice on a recent visit to Skipton. Trade must have picked up as they had 3 handpumps clipped. Multi-roomed pub right on the canal towpath. Loads of bric-a-brac all over the place. My pint was in good nick and Ms CAMRA liked the rose wine, so we had a look at the menu and I noticed that they had a giant 1lb steak pudding on the menu. I do like a proper steak pudding, so we decided to eat here later that evening. The pudding was very good, although the frozen veg could have been better, the gravy was very good too. I also tried another couple of pints, both in good nick. We'll call in here again next time we're in Skipton.

A somewhat altered multi-roomed pub within falling in distance of the Leeds-Liverpool canal. On the bar are four hand pumps but only Tetleys Cask and Ossett Blonde on at the time of my visit. As it was Saturday night and the height of summer, I guess that they only ever have two beers on at a time, though I could be wrong. My half of the Tetleys was in good condition, and very well poured using the autovac to recycle the beer through the sparkler and eliminating waste. I'd like to call back here at a quieter time for the sake of the beer, as otherwise I didn't much enjoy myself - but that's Saturday nights, I suppose.

A nice 3 roomed pub. Its a bit basic decor wise but was pleasant enough. A pool table is to the rear. 5 handpumps with beers from Butcombe, Moorhouse, Leeds breweries today. A canalside location with the canal out front.
