The Taggy Man
4 Market St, Kirkby StephenPies are superb. Dog friendly. Bar staff making a fuss of the dogs, feeding them treats etc. This is proper independent pub serving quality local ales. Good atmosphere. None of your corporate rubbish here. Five stars from me ?

The Bay Horse Winton
The Bay Horse, Winton, Kirkby Stephen⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Sunday Lunch and Exceptional Customer Service
From the very first phone call to The Bay Horse in Winton, our experience was fantastic. When I made the booking, I explained that my son is autistic and only eats certain foods. The lady I spoke to on the phone was incredibly understanding and helpful. Even though it was a Sunday and they were only serving Sunday dinners, she spoke to the chef and asked if they could accommodate him.
When we arrived, they had gone above and beyond. The chef specially prepared gammon and chips for my son, which is one of the few meals he enjoys. Seeing how happy and excited he was made our day, and we can't thank them enough for their kindness and understanding.
As for the Sunday dinners, they were absolutely beautiful, the best we've had in a long time. The portions were very generous, with plenty of perfectly cooked meat on the plate, and everything was cooked to perfection.
It's rare to find a place that not only serves excellent food but also genuinely cares about its customers. A huge thank you to the chef and all the staff for making our family feel so welcome and for going the extra mile for our son.
I would highly recommend The Bay Horse to anyone visiting the area. Just make sure you book in advance, as it's deservedly very busy. A truly five-star experience from start to finish. Thanks again for such a wonderful Sunday lunch! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fat Lamb Country Inn
Crossbank, Ravenstonedale, Kirkby StephenStopped here overnight in our campervan on our travels. They have a small adjoining field with 5 or 6 hardstanding pitches which they charge £10 for the night.
We weren't charged because we had dinner.
No facilities for campers. Just the pitch.
Phoned ahead to reserve a spot.
The pub itself is a great place heavily decorated with automobilia. Some lovely cars parked outside too. A real petrol heads pitstop.
The staff were friendly and accommodating.
The food was fantastic and served promptly.
Dog friendly too.
Highly recommend.

The Old Forge
39 North Rd, Kirkby StephenWhat an amazing spot. We stayed close by for a weekend and decided to eat in The Old Forge. We booked ahead for a 'pierrade' and wasn't disappointed. Plenty of food and effort taken to ensure we were happy. The place itself is cosy and intimate and the owners are wonderful, as are the clients, all appeared to live locally, were warm, inviting, pleasant and decent... A few were even funny! We enjoyed the atmosphere so much that we stayed after dinner, until closing, and had a wonderful evening of talking and laughing with all the patrons. I couldn't recommend this place more and would be over the moon if this was my local. Have been considering moving to the area to make it so! Great pub, good selection on draught, great team, professional and friendly. Keep up the great work.

Allison's Cafè
New Rd, Kirkby StephenWe needed a travel break on our way to Scotland - and found this little gem! (We did try another establishment before but they were full and we are glad we ended up at Allison’s) Bacon baguette, chips, hot chocolate and pot of tea delicious and really reasonably priced. The lady (sorry can’t remember your name) who served us was really friendly - shame you are over three hours from us :) Thank you for refuelling us on our pit stop.

The Mulberry Bush
Market Street, Kirkby StephenWe ate home made quiche, and a panini with avocado, rocket and salsa. Both came with fresh, well-prepared salad garnishes. The menu is varied, and plenty of attractive cakes.
Although it was late lunch everything looked clean.
The ladies toilet had a large space available for nappy changing.

Black Bull
38 Market Street, Kirkby StephenFirst visit to Kirkby Stephen and managed to visit a few watering holes , not all , that will happen on my next visit in a few weeks time but this pub was my favourite . Really chilled atmosphere , which cannot be said about another not too distant pub but that was on a Saturday afternoon and was just a bunch of lads letting off steam after a hard weeks work. They were farmers and fond of the ladies by the tales I couldn’t help but overhear. Fine by me but a little embarrassing for the wife and she’s no prude. But back to the Black Bull. Best pint of John Smiths iv had by far . Very reasonably priced. Didn’t try the food and couldn’t see it as it’s served in a separate adjacent room . Barman was friendly and when I complimented him on the beer told me that they take a pride in the cellar and particularly keeping the lines clean. Lovely and cosy with relaxing music , very comfy seating and a log fire. Dog friendly too. Just perfect , what a real pub should be. Cannot wait to return
