The Royal Shepherd - Skipton

Friendly nice channel side friendly efficient staff and the best of all delicious home cooked eating in generous portions and very good value

Brilliant Staff. Very Attentive. Proactive approach to Covid. Reduced tables. Good drinks selection. Food AWESOME recommend the Mushroom Starter and Corn Beef Hash main. Clean and welcoming.

We were greeted warmly and quickly seated by a frienfly and helpful waitress. The food we ordered was freshly cooked and delicious. This place is tucked away near the canal but worth searching out. We'll go there again.

Unfortunately, we were turned away for our 13:15 booking. They had allegedly told OpenTable that they had a pre-arranged function. I suspect user error on their part. No genuine apology from the restaurant but continued effort to blame OpenTable. After travelling long distance (for Covid permitted reason, I add), this was very frustrating. We were not willing to wait until 15:00 for a possible seat. I asked if they could help with an alternative booking, but they simply pointed at another pub!! Can 't rate the food properly, and NEVER put myself in the place that I can try it in the future. I will however continue to tell my Yorkshire friends of our terrible experience.

From booking to sitting down and eating the food and service was excellent i couldnt fault it.
