Dining in Malham

A Warm Yorkshire Welcome

Every dish is cooked from scratch by our chefs, with ingredients that are local, fresh and full of flavour, alongside top quality seasonal produce from the best suppliers.

With views across Malham, our inviting restaurants at both The Lister Arms and The Buck are perfect for catching up with friends and family, along with our bar areas where dogs are welcome to settle down in front of the fire.

Meet Our Producers

We believe that great food starts with great producers, that’s why we’re proud to work with The Courtyard Dairy.

Located just up the road from The Lister Arms, The Courtyard Dairy believes every cheese should tell the story of where it comes from. From the land and livestock to the people who make it, each cheese is unique to its farm, something we’re proud to share with our guests.

The Best of Yorkshire Produce

Surrounded by the Yorkshire Dales, we’re fortunate to have some of the area’s finest producers on our doorstep. We work with local farmers, butchers and cheesemakers who care about quality as much as we do.

We’re proud to bring the flavours of Yorkshire to every plate.
