The Feversham Arms, Church Houses, Farndale, North York Moors
We discovered the Feversham Arms on a walk starting from Low Mill in Farndale and taking us up onto the top of Rudland Rigg. Famous for its daffodils, Farndale is a beautiful valley in Spring but is definitely also worth a visit out of season when it is very tranquil. On our visit in February, it was a clear day, the sun was shining and the tops were still covered in snow so the views were quite dramatic and we could see for miles around in all directions.
The Feversham Arms is a traditional old stone pub dating back to 1836 with a flagstone floor and roaring fire, and the landlady gives a very warm welcome to walkers and their dogs too. The menu has a good choice of traditional hot pub dishes such as steak and ale pie as well as lighter lunches including soup, sandwiches or jacket potatoes. On Sundays roast dinners are available in addition to the main menu and the pub is open until 3pm.
A word of warning though, the portions are enormous! Betwen us, we enjoyed a roast dinner (£8.95), ploughman's (£6.95) and the chicken and mushroom pie (£5.95 for a half-portion), all of which were thoroughly enjoyable and more than enough to sustain us on our walk. Prices are very reasonable and the Feversham Arms is a great stop for walkers or anyone out for a drive on the moors and stopping for a pub lunch. It also offers bed and breakfast accommodation.
