The General Tarleton

Modern British

£££

This 18th-century coaching inn has been given a makeover by the Tommy Banks group, with its rustic charm preserved across the main dining room, a glass-roofed courtyard, a bar and a large terrace – with the latter two kept free for walk-ins. As is the Banks way, the cooking champions the best Yorkshire produce and day-boat fish, across a mixture of pub classics and slightly more original dishes, like barbecued monkfish with a lemon verbena curry sauce. The bright, engaging service team add just the kind of warmth you hope for in a pub like this.
