This archetypal English country pub on the edge of the North York Moors serves possibly the best pub food in England. It has a Michelin star and was voted the Egon Ronay Gastropub of the year in 2006. What's more, it's a picture postcard inn - the building itself dates from the 14th century (that's not a typo!), and is a picturesque old longhouse with thatched roof. Anyone visiting York (30 miles away)should make the detour to visit this pub.

They have an informative and well done website for anyone wanting more info, directions etc.
