The Old Board Inn, Hawes Review

Bar food at lunchtime .. good quality and pleasant staff

Went in for a few drinks while on a family holiday, staff were friendly and helpful and the place had a warm homely feeling to it.

Really good friendly service from all the staff. The food portions were generous and my Wensleydale cheese sandwich included big chunks of delicous local cheese. My wife's ham baguette was good quality and the chips and soup were both decent. They were great with our kids and there were 4 decent ales on. Would recommend.

A nice cosy pub in a great location, good beers and very tasty food. Definitely recommend.

Friendly staff dog friendly big portions of food clean and light will most definitely be going in the board Inn on our next visit to Hawes

A great pub very friendly and helpful staff. Nice clean rooms and a great choice at breakfast. Real ale on top form.

Friendly staff. Varied and affordable menu. Several vegetarian options as well as good burgers.

Had to wait over an hour for food. we were in front of out friends we ordered and paid and they came back as ordered just after us and bar had told them it was an 24hr and a half wait for food so they didn't order and nipped over the road for a chippy. We were stuck having already paid... not happy

Great place good was fantastic with very generous portions highly recommend

Stayed for 2 nights. Room 5 lovely double bed with bathroom (a bath). Was great after long day walking. Really friendly helpful staff. Happy to reserve table for us to eat there as well. Basic pub food menu, but thoroughly enjoyed each meal. Roaring log fire to beat off the chills from the hills was also a great addition.

Excellent quality for the low price. Friendly staff and cosy separate eating area.

Really nice friendly pub good pub food with huge portions. Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner there this evening.

Lovely pub with friendly staff and good food. Dogs are welcome inside the pub. They provide a wide selection of food.

Excellent staff and meals and a great selection of ales including Timmy Taylor's Landlord which was superb. The accommodation was comfortable and the pub itself was welcoming, with a log fire.
Highly recommended.

Favourite pub by far in hawes. Always a great friendly atmosphere. Great staff. See u all in March 2020. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you all from Ian and Kevin, barney. X

long 1hr wait for mediocre and overpriced food. They didn't tell me when I was ordering but the couple we were eating with ordered at the bar straight after us, after paying, and she told them it would be at least an hour so they didn't even bother. They went and got fish and chips and we were stuck first waiting for long after they had finished and then eating a naff meal.

Not really fair to judge the establishment based on our visit because it was just about to close for refurbishment, hence no hand-pulled beers available although normally 4 are on offer. Similarly the walls looked like they had been stripped ready for decorating so can't really comment on that.

Not the fanciest place. Perfect pub grub and atmosphere like ya Gran's front living room. Proper.

Didn't seem particularly friendly to out-of-towners, also quite small.

A friendly welcoming dales pub good beer wines and food

Nice friendly pub in the centre of town, good pub food, dog friendly

Lovely food. Fantastic welcoming atmosphere. Lovely snug with roaring fires

Hawes is a favourite, nice place to relax in the beautiful North of England

Nice friendly local with good real ale and served just right. Also dog friendly

Been here many times.. The atmosphere hmmm... Rude landlord/bar man more concerned about were we parking our bikes than any sort of customer service.. The fountain next door is much better... And as a previous resident of the area I would expect more

Meals were superb staff were brilliant couldn't fault the place

Stayed here for 2 nights this weekend with our dog, we could not fault anything.
The room was spotless, the staff were fabulous, the food was excellent.
Thank you Anne and family the pub is a credit to you all.
Ian, Tracy & Hawk

Lovely pub, even though we didn't eat the food looked amazing. Ann behind the bar was very friendly and attentive. We were treated like locals and it was our first visit

Myself and my class of young people who have sever learning difficulties visited this pub for lunch today. What a warm, welcoming, understanding establishment. The staff were fantastic and made us all feel very welcome, comfortable and not at all rushed. The food was very enjoyable with very large portions and reasonable price. Thank you for making our day that much more enjoyable.

Called for a meal.
A warm welcome from staff, when we arrived.
Grabbed a couple of drinks while we (my wife) picked our spot.
Ordered Steak and Ale Pie (brilliant), Yorkshire Burger (our son said was "ace") and a Chicken Curry (which my wife said was a bit watery but nice).
Opted for more drinks, and some deserts.
Apple Crumble and Custard (which was delicious) and Sticky toffee Pudding and Ice Cream (whuch was wolfed down).
If you fancy sitting by the fire drinking a few pints, that would be a good option too.
We'd definitely visit again.
Sorry, no picture of the Crumble, it really was good.

Lively place, very welcoming. Thought we'd stay for dinner. So glad we did. Delicious xx

Very comfortable friendly pub. Good selection of real ale.

Dog friendly, nice happy hour on Fridays, decent beer choice. Friendly staff

Great food and fantastic beer can't wait to get back for a visit

Stayed here for 2 nights. A mouse nibbled through the cable on my phone charger which was plugged in a socket in the bedroom

Tried to go here for lunch. Walked in 5 mins before opening. 3 staff were sitting around a table. We said sorry didn t realise they weren t open yet. The older man said we could just take a seat. I asked which side he preferred us on seeing as we had a dog and the front door says dogs welcome. He said either side as long as he wasn t on the bench s. Of course that is fine. My husband was putting the dogs lead around the foot of the table as 99.9% of people do with dogs. The old man came up and said do not do that, my husband asked why and he said because I said so... ok so we just said never mind we will leave. He said we just need to have our dog under control. If you don t want dogs at your place of business don t say you are dog friendly.

Friendly staff nice meals, great beer , perfect central location to explore the dales ....

Great spot, if a bit of a trek from our hostel. Friendly staff and a good pint

Very friendly staff good food for all ages and a dog friendly bar area to sit and eat . We will be back

Friendly staff. Felt very safe from Covid 19. All efforts were made to ensure that staff and customers were comfortable in the surroundings. Thank you to Anne and Di.

Only stayed for lunch but thr Service was great, location is central.

Went for dinner, classic pub menu, nothing special but good sized portions and overall good value for money

Nice town pub with great beers on tap. Classic bar games available too. Very friendly service.

Arrived in Hawes, with no concrete plan, or advance booking. Tried a few places on the street. The Inn was head and shoulders above others - open, businesslike, good atmosphere and decor. We got a nice room, with two large corner windows overlooking the street. We had a v tasty dinner there too.

Had a three day break here lovely place rooms spotless very nice people made us feel at home would definitely recommend

Great selection of local beers, friendly staff, and nice atmosphere.

Friendly place, good pub food, decent portions, good beer

Roaring fire. Friendly staff. A weird shared knitting thing going on too!

This pub is absolutely fine, priced as most are in the area, beer was kept well and service was good. However, there are others in the area with a bit more atmosphere which I'd likely go as a first choice.

Excellent food, good portion size at reasonable prices.

A number of cask ales available, which were served well and in good condition. Bar staff friendly.
Outside seating next to Hawes high street.

The pies we had for lunch were superb; friendly waiting and bar staff, we loved the place!

Just went here for dinner: very soggy crust on a very bland steak and ale pie, equally bland lasagne. Better: the burger.
