In case I didn't make myself clear: I love the place and if you get the idea of giving back what you get you'll have a great time.
It's not Moto Services. It's not a Harvester.
It happens to be a pub where a farmer and his family live.

That doesn't excuse serving a burger for £9 which is cremated on the outside, raw in the middle and served with chips and a bun only - no cheese, bacon, salad, gherkins etc. This was the second poor lunch I've had there and the last.

I too love good locally run pubs serving home made food, but the Tan Hill isn't one of them. Try the Horse Shoe Hotel in Egton Bridge, Old Hall in Treshfield, Hambleton Inn above Sutton Bank, Wuthering Heights in Stanbury etc. - there's plenty of choice if you want excellent food

Used to be a lady who was great.

Ah, of course, I'd forgotten about the change in management.

Are Takoda doing a "coffee shop" stop for passing bikers?

Yep, it's open from 8am
I'll be staying over this weekend too

Off up there on Saturday for a bit of a do - Spirit Levellers & Ash Mandrake

Will be glad not to see any of you moaning twats there
You can all bugger off to your "gastropubs"

I agree with Mr K & TinyTim
All like-minded folk welcome - £8 OTG includes camping and sheep

Tractor and snow plough in 8foot drifts that's going to take some shifting

Have a look at the Grinton Lodge Youth Hostel, down the Dale into Swaledale. It gets good reviews.

Congratulations! Tan Hill would be OK but it depends on your expectations. Windy location. Prone to bad weather. I've seen sheep in the porch but not in the pub, however, they are quite friendly. Best Wishes for the future

Personally I find that it is very quirky, but that's part of the experience and I like it. A few years ago I was instructing on a RAF mountain rescue drivers course (back in the days when they still had landies). When we finally got through the snow to reach it they where very surprised that anyone got had there. We got free lunches out of them, chips and sarnies with salad. Very good, especially as it was free.
