Stayed at a nearby cottage and was very dissappointed with this pub. No friendly welcome and no food being served, a real shame as this is the only pub in the village. Also no signs of any accomodation being made available in the near future, which is perhaps a blessing.

Popped into here for a rest and a chance to sit back and enjoy the sun and scenery. Food was still unavailable but the bar service was friendly and the place was clean. Nice to see the motorsport memorabilia on the wall as I'm an F1 fan but considering its locale to Buckden Pike perhaps the feel should be more... More

The Buck Inn reopened last night with bar only but food and rooms coming on stream in the next few days. The new tenants have a big job in restoring faith to the pub which was in sad decline before closing last year. The signs last night were good with an excellent atmosphere and an experienced landlord wishing to integrate... More

Stopped for "Sunday Roast" during an afternoon driving around the magnificent dales, despite being June the two open fires were aflame in the bars but only about ten folks were lunching. Lunch was basic but good quality and we were served promptly and pleasantly by a rather odd character of a landlord who kept going out to talk to others... More

This pub has come in for a real slating on this website. Some of the comments have been fairly made, others over the top, unkind and hurtful. Clearly people who have had a bad experience at a pub are more likely to go to the trouble of writing up their opinions than the many who have had an average or... More

We visited the pub during the middle of a Sunday afternoon in glorious weather. There were just two people sitting outside and inside there were just two couples sitting at opposite ends of the pub. There was a very surly looking woman serving behind the bar and a man, also behind the bar, talking to her but completely ignoring us... More

Like another review on this site we used to go to the Buck every night for meals during the nineties, how things change! we went last november and tried it a couple of nights, i must say that the food could not be faulted but we were the only ones in there every time. The buzzing, welcoming atmosphere that used... More

I would agree with most of the recent comments. The pub is a bit run down and old fashioned, which wouldn't matter if the owners were more welcoming. Within 10 minutes of arrival the manager gave us a long lecture on the evils of TripAdvisor; according to him since he had fallen out with the villagers, they had written lies... More

Most of the comments I would agree are about right. After a very short attempt to be welcoming we were made to feel like alien invaders not worth any more effort. We can all write about what is wrong here, however if you want somewhere to stay for a few days look for Dalegarth Holiday Cottages. If you want some... More
