Came to ripon for the weekend and when looking at things to do and places to go and the lodge owner recommending this place we thought we'd go and visit. Im so glad we did. Lovely staff. Lovely customers. Great beers. Lovely atmosphere. Great beer garden. Will definitely recommend a visit to anyone going to ripon. We will definitely come back for drink if we ever in ripon again.
Great pub.veey friendly staff. Nice beer. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Ripon.
A real ale mecca for any serious beer drinker.
Seek it out...
Stay awhile amid it's lovely Hoppy charm.
Wide array of excellently kept ales and continental lagers.
Open fires, good chip shop near by.
Not to be missed, Summer or Winter.
Nice cosy pub, great selection of real ales and Lagers, lovely cosy open fire. No coffees though, which I feel is a little poor for a pub these days. I had a couple of pints but was driving later so no coffee option was a little disappointing . Smashing pub for beer drinking though!! :) :)
I can't find anything not to like. Including the crusty old locals and great bar staff. 6 fantastic real ales and I love the offer of 3 different thirds for the price of a pint. That's two pints at least. Just don't stop ! Thanks for a great pub. �
Fantastic little pub great find and good choice of beers. Well worth a visit.
Lovely, old style pub with excellent staff and a great selection of well kept beers.
What a find no loud talking peope that make you want to leave nice place very traditional need more of them to open again .
My son and I have been coming here ever since he was born. Once a week for a cheeky pint. Paul and Henry.
Variable beers available. Plenty of seating. Speedy bar staff-always good to be remembered,too. Friendly atmosphere.

Fantastic pub, excellent atmosphere & a very good selection of beers, will definitely be back 👍👍
Nice pub with decent local ales. Very clean ladies’ toilet. Service was good the nights we were there.
2nd visit and starting to really like this local pub as my new local. Great beers (incl Cask beer) and friendly service even to a non-local. Lovely outdoor setting with tones of space for families and large groups.
Brilliant pub - really good range of beers. And nice to be able to have a pork pie to go with a pint.
Very dog friendly!
What's not to like!
Lovely pub, plenty of choice in beers and lovely friendly atmosphere. Also in the summer has a great beer garden.
A slight face-lift after the long-standing licensee's departure, but real ale is still the main focus. 6 well-kept beers on my Sunday visit. Large garden with dogs welcome.
The Rat is back!
Fantastic, proper pub. Great beer. Great service and friendly locals.
What a wonderful bar although they did not serve food they allowed 8 of us to take in fish n chips from a local chippy and provided knives forks and etc the beers were wonderfully tasty and a place I hope to frequent when in the area
This is my idea of the perfect pub, as much outside under cover seating (probably more) great staff and the best kept beer (particularly temp) I have tasted in years oh and genuinely dog friendly, if I'm back in Ripon I will return..thank you...
Been meaning to call into this pub for years but never did due to it being off the main drab/market place. Cracking pub and ales. Very deceiving from the outside. Will make it my first port of call whenever I'm in Ripon now.
Great choice of beers , guest beer changes regularly, good staff , nice atmosphere
