"Family-run pub showcasing local produce"
Overview
Two miles from Ampleforth Abbey and within easy driving distance of Helmsley, this 17th-century inn is located in the quiet village of Gilling East. The owners have struck a perfect balance between providing up-to-date facilities alongside original features such as wooden beams and open fires. The kitchen focuses on local produce in dishes such as venison sausages with creamed leek mash or homemade pie of the day.

About the area
North Yorkshire, with its two National Parks and two designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is England’s largest county and one of the most rural. This is prime walking country, from the heather-clad heights of the North York Moors to the limestone country that is so typical of the Yorkshire Dales – a place of contrasts and discoveries, of history and legend.
