Lovely pub run by a young family.
Excellent ales enjoyed after a long walk from Leyburn.
This pub is on my list for more visits, and a try of the Tapas.

So this pub is now under the management of a lovely young couple. What a great place and atmosphere. I would recommend to anyone. Thanks so much for making us feel welcome and for a great night.
An excellent pub with exceptional service and atmosphere. Becky and Sam are the perfect hosts, attentive, entertaining and caring. Can vouch for the fantastic range of drinks, including many tasty ales, and can't wait to try the food which I've heard endless great things about. Look forward to every visit and would highly recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to spend an hour or seven...
Beautiful pub, relaxed cosy atmosphere. We had tapas which was amazing, especially the scotch eggs. Mussels were lovely and a cheeky cocktail to finish! Thank you Sam and Becky for great evening xxx
Excellent beer and cocktails and great tasting food from the new menu.
Amazing food here on Saturday night!! Lovely wine and gorgeous choice of menu!
We ate here last night and have to say the food was amazing. Great place to spend a few hours. excellent hospitality well worth a visit.
Lovely cosy pub, perfect for dog walkers and a pint at the end of a long walk! They even do cocktails!
Cocktail menu is awesome. Would highly recommend visiting for a lock in! �
Great country pub with the bonus of fabulous coffee and cocktails to go along side traditional beer.
Great pub full of locals, always a good sighn for a taste of Yorkshire

Really accommodating staff and food tasty, thanks
Really homely pub with very welcoming and friendly landlords! Will definitely be going back.
Drove a long way and wasn't disappointed Ale was first class and the food was supprisigly good. The atmosphere was jovial and a red hot open fire !!
Great pub, lovely landlords and tasty cocktails!!
I just called for a pint to suss it out as we were staying in a cottage at the rear of it.
The young lady behind the bar was pleasant and served me a pint of Theakston's. The pub is quite small, and most of the locals were engaged in a game of cards with others looking on. I asked about food and was told they are not doing it at the moment. I went into another room which had a football machine, dart board and a slot machine. I drank my pint and left. Stayed in the cottage for a week but didn't bother going back in.
I have just come back from a lovely mid week two night stay at the Black Bull in Middleham.
I stayed in room 1 which was very spacious with a large double bed and superb shower.
The owners Sam and Harriet plus the rest of the team are all great hosts and you really feel like you are part of the local community staying at the pub.
Breakfast is also superb and set me up well for my cycling adventures.
MIddleham and the surrounding area really is a beautiful part of the country with plenty to explore right on your doorstep.
I will certainly be back again soon.
Stopped by this weekend, lovely pub, games, such as dominoes, available. Friendly for both kids and dogs. Staff really nice, and happy to accommodate asks for less requested items. The previous time we went there was 25 years ago! It’s much improved since then. I was wary of going in, but would go back any time. Could possibly do with a bit better marketing outside, to make it seem more appealing to families during the day time.
The pub is in a great location, really convenient for Middleham Castle, the food is good and the service attentive if a little slow. A step above the usual pub grub menu, this is recommended for those looking for a quiet place to lunch or have a relaxing drink.
Great traditional pub, friendly staff. We had a lovely couple of pints and some fantastic home cooked food. Both of us opted for the Steak and Ale pie which came with triple cooked chips, mushy peas and red wine gravy. Absolutely delicious
We stayed here in October for 2 nights while attending a wedding at the saddle room.
Perfect location for this only 5min drive away. Harriet and staff went above and beyond. We stayed in a lovely spacious room no2 both bedroom and bathroom were immaculate. Excellent shower etc. and what a bargain for the price it is a very friendly pub we witnessed their own football team coming in to a huge pan of spaghetti Bolognese after their match on sunday. They're definitely a community hub/pub. We had breakfast both mornings not your usual full breakfast or scrambled egg great range of menu and we thoroughly enjoyed it, you can tast the difference locally sourced fresh produce. I can safely say we would definitely stay here again maybe if we come to visit the forbidden corner again only 5min drive. Wish I could give 6 stars for hospitality alone.
Very nice place to have an evening drink outside. We were there mid July 2021 and its the last place in the square to receive the evening sunshine. A variety of meals and selection of ales. Very reasonable prices too. We found the staff very pleasant and helpful. Sadly only limited seating outdoors.
Great little pub with great food. Breakfast was plentiful and set us up for the day. Bed was super comfortable and huge! Staff are very friendly and nothing was to much trouble. We only stayed the one night as we were visiting the forbidden corner a couple of miles away.
Only negative points (sorry as I forgot to mention it in the morning), we couldn't get the tv to work, no biggy as it was just 1 night and the bathroom wall needs some tlc but the rooms were spotless. Would definatly recommend anyone to stay and a point i have forgotten to mention is the WiFi is very good if you need to catch up on emails. Thanks to the black bull!
Now the best pub in the town for variety of ales. For those wishing to escape Black Sheep and Theakston Best (and I am not saying they are bad but just seem to be everywhere) this is your best opportunity in the town. 4 cask (2 staple and 2 changing) ales available also offers the greatest choice in the town too. Also on Real Ale Finder app which is nice to see.
An absolutely lovely place to stay, the room was well decorated and set out, spacious, the bed was very comfortable, nice thick duvet even though the room was nice and warm. The bar has a good selection of lager, cider and Ales, there is also a good selection of spirits, especially the Forged Gin !! We also ate here and the food was fantastic! Good selection of juices and cereals and also the choice of a cooked breakfast, we opted for the full English of course which was amazing. Zero complaints about anything during our stay, the bar staff are all lovely too, and the landlord Sam was always on hand to help if needed. We can’t wait to stay here again in December , Middleham is a lovely little village.
Lovely stay, very comfortable room, excellent friendly staff who went above and beyond to make us comfortable, great pies, and a delightful pub dog. 10 out of 10 would stay again
Great pub stunning theakstons best and top landlord highly recommend visit
Nice pub and rooms to stay in. Very friendly staff and lots of choice of drinks.
There isn't a dedicated car park, so you have to keep your eyes peeled in the village centre for a space. Would go back again. Ideal spot to get into the Yorkshire Dale's quickly
Such a superb meal it was so lovely! Great service so welcoming we,l be back for sure
Lovely friendly local pub serving delicious food - good selection of drinks and well kept beers - vegetarians well catered for too
If you are looking for a place to stay to explore the Middleham / Leyburn area of the Yorkshire Dales, this gem of a pub is a real find. The team are friendly and welcoming and it's situated on the market place. Our room (the family room) is very comfortable and clean, and the shower was excellent. We had the full English breakfast (really set us up for the day) and dinner was fantastic (best jambalaya I have had in a long time).
Lovely meal with a good selection of beers,. Friendly and helpful staff.
The dog loved it too!
Called in for a drink and we were made very welcome, pub quiz was on the go, we were invited to join a team by the locals. It was a fun evening the quiz master, got more entertaining as the night and more drink was consumed. Lovely friendly pub.
Great stay at The Black Bull for a wedding locally. The pub was incredibly friendly and staff flexible. The room was extremely comfortable and beautifully decorated with an enormous bed and very clean bathroom with powerful shower. Breakfast was big and hit the spot. The owner was even so kind to drop us off at the venue to collect our car as we struggled with taxis. Nothing too much for these guys would highly recommend!!
