For over four centuries, this whitewashed moorland inn has been a beacon of warmth and hospitality for all sorts of people, from users of the old packhorse trails to builders of the nearby Widdop and Gorple reservoirs, and today's walkers and cyclists on the Pennine Way and Pennine Bridleway, which both pass nearby.

“Absolutely fantastic lunch out in the sun this afternoon, so happy one of our favourite pubs is back open again! Loved every second”

— Emma Hepworth

“Precisely what you need after a yomp on the moors and round the reservoirs: roast lamb and mint sauce, traybake steak pie, hot pot, gammon & eggs- all terrific value for money”

— Pub of the Week | Yorkshire Post
