About Us

[lead]The Queens Arms has been a treasure and an asset for Littondale residents and their visitors for centuries. [/lead]

New Tenants Matthew and Michelle Birtley and their family are looking forward to their new Dales life at the Queens, Matthew has been a Head Chef in the surrounding Dales for many years and Michelle has also a wealth of Catering and Hospitality experience.

We have received tremendous local support since we re-opened The Queens and are proud that, like our food, we ‘locally source’ all our staff coming from the Dales, including Head Chef. We are fortunate to be located in the heart of what many consider to be the ‘prettiest’ of the Yorkshire Dales with wildflower meadows, stone walls and barns, woodland, caves, moorland and the River Skirfare meandering by.

The essence of the Queens is Yorkshire Dales hospitality, excellent food and real ale – our log fires in the winter and garden in the summer provide a meeting place and a refuge for locals and visitors.

The team at The Queen’s looks forward to welcoming you to Littondale.

The Queens Arms, Litton, Yorkshire Dales
As pub locations go, they don’t come better than the Queens Arms at Litton in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
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.
In 2012 the pub found itself under local ownership and an extensive but tasteful refurbishment took our beautiful white washed pub back to its former glory.
Since February 2019 Michelle and Matthew Birtley have carried on the Queens Arms tradition, serving only home cooked & locally sourced ingredients and award winning pies.
All our staff are friendly family or locals, 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, Hand cut Chips and Sunday Roasts (with gravy made the traditional way) are proving extremely popular.
Our very own brewery sits behind the pub and is home to The Lamb Brewing Company, established in 2019, Local expert brewer Thomas Crapper produces many popular brews including Lamb Pale Ale, IPA and a traditional recipe Dark Mild.
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.
For al fresco dining we boast a large beer garden which seats 60 covers on our well kept grass and hard standing areas.
