Seafish Pub of the Year
Record
Breakers!
July 2nd 2011 witnessed an incredible feat of gastronomy,
The World’s Largest Single Serving of Fish & Chips!!
Weighing in at 101lbs 7ounces this world beating feast was verified by Guinness Book
of Record adjudicator Rob Malloy as the largest single serving of fish and chips
that the world has ever seen. Over a year of meticulous planning, a colossal Halibut,
over 60lbs of chips, a large vat of mushy peas and not forgetting our unique Black
Sheep Batter and a giant custom made frying pan. Finally Chef John Barley and his
brigade of chefs were able use all their culinary knowhow and experience for the record
attempt. The pressure was on, with over 300 guests waiting to sample the fish and
chips, several national and international TV crews covering the event and the strict but
personable Guinness book of records adjudicator monitoring watching our every move.
After several weigh-ins and the all-important taste test Rob Molloy announced to the
rapturous applause of all the staff and guests that The Wensleydale Heifer was the new
Guinness World Record Holder.
Our famous fish & chips are always available at the Heifer served on our specially
commissioned Villeroy-Boch newspaper printed plates.

It is not easy to find a restaurant where you

Eylsa looks dismayed, her new sister Thia won’t even try the Fish and Chips that she has been

Restaurant Review 2012
The Wensleydale Heifer one of the best pub restaurants around with especially good fish and
brilliant service - this incongruously land-locked Dales inn wins heartly endorsements from
practically all of the many people who’ll report on it.
Early Bird
Sunday Lunch
Come and join us between 6.00pm - 6.30pm Monday to
Friday to sample our two or three course menu. There is a
choice of six starters, six main courses and six desserts.
The menu changes regularly dependent upon the freshest
and best quality produce at the market each day.
Every Sunday Lunch at The Heifer offers a fantastic value
menu showcasing some of the finest fish and locally
sourced meats including possibly the biggest Yorkshire
puddings in the North. Acclaimed food writer Mike Amos
described it as “One of the top five Sunday Lunches in
recent years”. Booking is advisable.
Moo’ve Over Darling
Is it a cow or is
it a car?
This new addition to the Heifer herd has raised a few
eyebrows throughout the Yorkshire area.
David Moss tells us that he is currently in talks with a local
scientist to try and convert the car to run on milk, hopeing that
it could achieve 20 miles to the pint. He also is attempting to
lobby his local MP to change the law so that the car can moo
rather than peep. Finally David is struggling to find a local
garage that is brave enough to do an emissions test as they
all fear what may come out of the back!!!
