Tucked away just off the High Street in Skipton, The Castle Inn is the kind of place that feels like home the moment you walk in — all warm wood, stone walls, and the gentle hum of conversation. A cheery welcome for locals and visitors alike.
On our recent trip to Yorkshire, this pub quickly became one of our favourites. We ordered:
🥧 Beef & Ale Pie – tall, flaky, and filled with rich, slow-cooked beef. Served with chunky chips, seasonal veg, and a pot of thick gravy.
🥩 Yorkshire Pudding Roast – slices of roast beef tucked into a giant Yorkshire pud with mashed potatoes and proper pub gravy.
🍺 Local pints – because no visit to a Yorkshire pub is complete without one. Just ask Richard, it’s his goal to sample them all.

Richard gave it a 10/10 — and judging by the empty plates, it’s safe to say we both left happy.
If you find yourself in Skipton, we wholeheartedly recommend a stop here after exploring the castle or canal. It’s everything we love about pub dining in the UK: generous, cozy, and made with heart. Feels like home away from home.
