Had a delicious Sunday lunch here. They serve until quite late on Sunday which suited us. Friendly service and space for a few campervans to stay over in the car park. Pennine pale ale was very good. Dog was made welcome. What a lovely place to stay. Everyone was so nice. I arrived early and the owner gave me a free coffee which was so nice, then the young lady helped me with my bags as my partner was finishing 8 days of the pennine way and this hotel was a treat on the last day.,,, and boy it was a treat. The food was outstanding, I asked for a child's portion of scampi, wow everything was 10plus in my eyes. My partner had the meat pie and he couldn't finish it all and he had just walked 24 miles and was hungry. We had breakfast included and yet again the food was outstanding. Anything you wanted, they would freshly cook, and there was plenty of everything... what a joy it was staying there... Helen and AJ Westwood This place is just extraordinary. From the moment we entered the door we were impressed. The interior design is cozy, comfy and modern. The Sunday Dinner was exceptional. Yes, really. I had mouth -watering pork with apple sauce, red cabbage, turnip, broccoli, carrots, new potatoes, gravy and Yorkshire pudding. Compliments to the talented chef. The wait staff are top class too. Also, the relaxing music complimented the mood perfectly. We highly recommend Blenkinsopp Castle Inn in Greenhead. The accommodationis also top quality. Ok we’ve been here before in our camper van - foods nice a bit pricey for what you get - OH paid I asked to see receipt - they are now surcharging for the overnight parking of camper vans £12 a night - no signage no notification when we booked in or booked a table - our bill now came to over £95 for 2 starters and 2 mains and 3 beers and 2 wines and a couple of blackcurrant and sodas- sorry we don’t mind putting money into local economies but this is the last time we will be coming here- as I told the staff when I queried this charge (oh it’s a new thing they said) I’d be telling everyone in our social media groups so no one else gets caught- usually in camper van pub stops if there is a charge you get vouchers towards your meal or it is a charity donation- it’s a tiny cramped car park with absolutely no facilities overnight (or after the pub closes @ 9pm ish tonight). What really got me were the people who were paying and not getting receipts so it would not have registered with them - hence this review Excellent food! We dined here twice in one week, whilst on holiday. Staff were very friendly and attentive. First we came for the Sunday Roast, late in the day, so expecting it to be past it's best but it was wonderful, fresh and very tasty, the generous portion of beef was full of flavour and melt in the mouth. The pork had amazing crackling too. Second visit was just as good, tried the steaks, couldn't fault anything. Final point, the prices are more than good value, with such an excellent chef, worth every penny and more 😀 Our visit in June 2024 was one of the highlights of our 2-week trip to the UK. We showed up before check-in time (our fault) and our room wasn’t ready, but Gary and Carol welcomed us like family and served us a pot of tea while we waited. What a delightful and charming couple! The room was clean, quiet and comfortable. We enjoyed an amazing dinner with dessert, and a fabulous full breakfast the next morning. When our Uber cancelled, Gary was kind enough to take us to the train station. Blekinsopp was one of our best memories of our trip. Fantastic food, fantastic people. Stayed with a motorhome for one night and eat a lovely steak in the restaurant. Gary and Carol, the proprietors, were very welcoming and the ladies staffing the bar delightful.
