"I 've passed through Dufton 3 times now doing long distance walks eaten here all 3 times. The food is exceptional a great rotation of local real ales (always been 3 available when I have been there). My most recent visit was May 9th 2024, the beer I had was excellent and fresh (Allendale, Pennine Pale), but the food was the star, a big slice of a homemade chicken, mushroom, mustard whisky pie, roast veg incl a beetroot. Absolutely packed with the best chicken breast chunks, without doubt the best pie I have ever eaten. The staff (Amanda) was so friendly with strangers as well as the locals. The beer garden can 't be beaten either, looking out across fields of sheep, then on upto Dufton Pike with Cross Fell looming in the distance. I love this place so much I plan my walks to pass through here. One word of warning, for a few weeks around the Appleby horse fair, the village pub is overrun with travellers so they don 't take bookings, so check the date of the fair. Though I was in the village when the nearby fair was on it WAS packed but it was a great atmosphere, all the horses carts 'parked up ' on the green outside the pub. No hint of trouble, a great experience actually."

Lovely pub in a beautiful village, good ale selection, but the food was the main event, absolutely outstanding, and not overpriced. Can't wait to return.

We ate here twice whilst staying in the village for the weekend. Really great food and reasonably priced. Only a small dining room, so I would recommend booking. All the staff were welcoming and friendly. The view from the beer garden towards High cup nick was fabulous.

Amazing food generous portions from a menu which has loads of interesting variations from ordinary dishes. Much appreciated after a hard day’s walking which there is loads of nearby. I had the bacon chops which were delicious. Sticky toffee pudding for dessert was good too. Note they finished taking orders around 7:45 View menu

What a lovely wee friendly pub . On first night of our holiday (Monday) they didn’t serve food but there was a woodoven pizza van outside which was delicious and we were accommodated to eat in the pub. Second night delicious fish and chips and third night was pie of the day . All delicious . Friendly staff . Really welcoming pub with good choice of real ales and excellent spot for very scenic walks .

Came here as it was recommended by the owner of the cottage we were renting. We had a great meal with first class service. All the staff we encountered were friendly, helpful and cheerful. The menu was interesting and not just the usual pub fare. My husband had chicken breast wrapped in prosciutto with tagliatelle and he really enjoyed it. I had the haddock which was crispy and delicious. The pub is in the centre of the pretty village of Dutton which also has an interesting old fountain on the green. We wouldn’t have found this pub had it not been recommended and we were very glad it was.
