The Royal Shepherd Inn — Restaurant in Skipton

On holiday in the surrounding area and came across this pub. We were the only couple in the bar which suited us fine. We ordered drinks. I ordered a large glass of red wine ..my husband a shandy. My glass was filthy with lots of finger marks on it and someone's lipstick mark. It looked like it hadn't been washed after a busy Saturday night! The barman gladly changed it but poured the wine into a clean glass. Germs were transferred!! My husband had Pork chop which was ok and I ordered Salmon with Hollandaise sauce.

The prices they are charging for these meals are standard but the quality and taste is not upto a decent standard. Which is a shame, one thing I will say is the lady who served us with dark hair was...

Myself and 2 friends went for a Christmas Market roast dinner. We ordered 2 small and 1 large dinner, the price difference was £7 however when we received our food we couldn't tell which was the large meal. We asked the waiter which was the large meal he replied( I don't no I havnt cooked it) and walked away. Anouther member of staff came over and explained that you got 1 more slice of meat and 1 more roast potatoe. For £7 more my friend wasn't happy and got his money back. We then received a foul languaged comment from what i can only describe as the local clown who was sat at the bar. Everyone heard this but nothing was sead from the bar staff who just ignored it.
