I regularly go to the Vale of York for their carvery on Sunday. The food is always good and is excellent value for money. The service is also good and the staff are very friendly and helpful. If you are in the bar before your meal try to sit away from the door as it can be a bit cold... More

This made it perfect for an overnight stay before visiting Lightwater Valley. Excellent pub food served in the evening, although the menu available to download from the official website is currently outdated (with inaccurate... More
