Saw the "Crab Festival advertised in the local paper and since it had been a while since we have visited a country pub it looked a good bet, it;s a nice enough "dales" pub and the staff were very nice and friendly, we had our meal in the "dale view" room which had a fantastic view.

We visited Brimham Rocks on a Sunday morning and decided to look for a pub for Sunday lunch.
