The Angel Inn

Hetton, Near Skipton, North Yorkshire

This is an archetypal gourmet bolthole, a picture-postcard English inn crammed with log fires, dark oak beams, nooks, crannies and food to appease any critic. Not that you should think this is the kind of place where they just slam a chunk of meat and splash of sauce on the...read more
