The Fox & Hounds Inn
Main St, West Witton, LeyburnWarm pub with an even warmer welcome.This traditional village pub is clean, warm and welcoming and is grounded in what it wants to be: a traditional pub serving good beer, great food and a offering a friendly welcoming atmosphere. You get the sense is it part of the village community.It makes such a difference when the landlady or mother of the landlord are so obviously enjoying their work. This enthusiasm comes across and makes the whole experience that much better. And it sets up a positive atmosphere right from entering the pub.There was a warming open fire when we arrived and even though we were in walking clothes with muddy-ish boots we were made welcome and could have sat anywhere in the pub, though we chose to sit at a bar table near the fire with a hard floor.My beer was very good it was just a pity there was not a dry cider option, either on draught or in a bottle, for my partner. But the drive to sweeter cider appears to be universal.The food was well presented and tasty with a good but appropriate portion size and substituting garden peas for mushy peas did not cause a hearth attack, which was an experience we have had in another local pub.We rarely eat chips so it was a treat to have "real" chips that had been fried to perfection along with the scampi. The only niggle was having to open a number of tomato ketchup sachets, though they were at least Heinz. I know the argument for and against, but I would rather have had a bottle! This is personal preference.We thought the food to be good value for money.The toilets were clean and well laid out, and there is a nice outside area for when the better weather arrives. While the entrance is tight there is a good sized carpark to the rear.The first time at this pub but it is on our list to visit again.Tip, if you want a walk before and after your visit. Park at Wensley Bridge and walk along the river path up into West Witton. The walk can be extended and made partially circular with a bit of map reading.

West Burton Village Shop and Tea Room
Greenview, West Burton, LeyburnA nice little shop selling all the basics to tie you over until you can a bigger shop in Hawes or Leyburn. You can reserve your newspaper too, if you want to. Lovely staff.We stayed in West Burton in early January, so the tea room wasn't open, understandably.

Fairhurst’s at Berry's Café and Farm Shop
Swinithwaite, LeyburnQuite quiet at 10:30 on a Saturday morning. There was a friendly welcome for us (with 5 year old and dog), and the food was of the highest quality and cooked to order. Not the cheapest we have had in a week visiting locally, but I wasn't expecting that: good quality food does cost! (No,I'm not a farmer) Will be our first choice next time we visit.
