THE WATER RAT REVIEWS
This lovely local pub in an amazing setting on the River is starting to grow on me. 3rd visit now in 2 weeks. Great beers, friendly service nice vibe inside. Seating outside to sit alongside the river and overlooked by Ripon Cathedral. Albeit not many tables. Haven't eaten there yet but the food coming out of the kitchen looked great and well presented.
Fantastic pub right on the river, you couldn't ask for a better location. Had an excellent meal with the family with us having the sharing platters which were fabulous. Would recommend this for all.
Beautiful setting, delicious food, lovely staff. What more could you want.
