Great pub, great atmosphere, fantastic landlord and landlady. Well worth a visit.
This pub ive been to it it used to have the best bartender called Matt But OMG Matt Were entertaining he brung games hia wii and Xbox nowadays now in 2025 its a bartender from Newcastle I Were heading home the moment I tried to unplug my charger she said no isaid I'm getting my charger she let me go I went home now I'm doing this review on google last complaint is food they hardly had any only nuts crisps and sweets this is my review go to any pub.
Quiet but really friendly. Can't review foods as only been in for a pint. If you want a calm place to chat to someone rather than shout over the usual spoons crowd this is for you!
This was the first time we have visited this pub. The beer was off so we took it back to the bar. After it was swapped for something else we were told we had to pay for the replacements which we obviously refused as we'd just paid for the first drinks we couldn't drink. The landlord then told us to drink up and leave. We were a group of 50 to late 70 year olds who just wanted a quiet drink Terrible customer service and we will not be returning.
Stayed here in our motorhome last weekend. They have a great selection of beers. The hosts were fabulous, they made us feel very welcome. This is the friendliest pub in Ripon.
