Blue Lion - Richmondshire

Lovely pub in a fabulous country village settingUnfortunately the food whilst good does not justify the very high prices.

The Blue Lion at East Witton is a classic well-preserved Wensleydale coaching inn with great period comfort and charm.

Was trying to figure out, after my recent experience, why this restaurant was #2 in East Witton and not #1. I think it’s partly the rooms letting it down, and people’s expectations from price. I’ll review our overnight stay separately under ‘hotel’, because that was average. The food however was excellent I can’t fault it. Everything was perfect. The soufflé, soup, steak and I had pork wellington, all gorgeous. The service was lovely. If anyone is reading these reviews from the BL I think it would help if people were offered a choice whether they eat in the bar or restaurant. We absolutely loved being in the bar with its open fire and informality, but I realise some people would prefer the restaurant at the prices charged. Breakfast was superb !!
