Yipppeee ๐ฅ๐ป Tomorrow Saturday 4th July we will be opening after 105 days off.. (bare with us we might have become lazy)
Although we have had to remove all books and games and soft furnishings there are plenty of new laminated reading material to enjoy. ๐
We know that most of you wonโt need reminding (as we have lived with it for 3+ months) to sanitise hands, keep your distance and stay home if you feel unwell at all ๐๐ป๐ thank you
As the pub would not be viable with tables 2m apart we are allowed to follow the 1m+ rule, we have measured all tables/ placed what is required back to back and removed what we needed to to comply. Please donโt shifty these tables and chairs around ๐๐ป๐
The main differences that will apply for now are..
๐ปHand sanitise on the way in/way of pub and after going to the toilet.
๐ป Table bookings inside can be shared by 2 households to a maximum of 6 people
๐ปWe will need to take a contact number from 1 person at each table for track & trace purposes.
๐ปJust coming for drinks? It is advised to book a table if you want to sit inside as we canโt allow people to stand at the bar for now..
๐ปWe will do our best to offer table service however if we get busy it is permitted to order at the bar (area designated with laminated sign ๐) but you will have to swiftly sit back down and one of us will deliver your drinks ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ป๐ป๐ป
๐ปall our menus are wipeable or disposable
Our Saturday team Lauren Mcleister Michelle Birtley Matt n George look forward to welcoming you.
The Queens Arms, Litton
As pub locations go, they donโt come better than the Queens Arms at Litton in the heart of the Dales.
The five-mile detour off the busy main Grassington to Kettlewell Road is well worth it for the stunning scenery and heartening hospitality at the quaint 17th- century inn.
After a few years of ups and downs at the Queens, it eventually closed. However, new owners and a total โ yet careful โ refurbishment in 2012, has put that gloomy era behind them. The upshot โ a refreshingly traditional and well-cared-for pub with 4 cosy rooms (including a large family room) for those not wanting to make the long trek home.
Michelle and Matthew Birtley and their 2 girls are hoping to carry on the Queens Arms tradition for many years to come, serving only home cooked & locally sourced ingredients.
All the staff are also local, including talented chef Matt. His outstanding home-cooked food offers all you could dream of on a pub menu, plus a little waft of the contemporary to keep things interesting.
Handmade Pies and Puddings, Fresh Haddock, Beef Dripping Chips and Sunday Roasts (with gravy made the traditional way) are proving extremely popular.
There is a microbrewery on site, where local brewer Thomas Crapper brews his very popular Littondale Pale Ale, Queens Best Bitter plus a Dark Brew.
We are also proud to serve Tetleyโs cask.
Food is served in the bar area which you will share with the locals, farmers, their dogs and even possibly a visiting darts team. For larger party dining we have the cosy fire in the Littondale Bar to gather around, in here we can seat up to 28 comfortably.
