WELCOME TO
The Bay Horse Inn Crakehall
The Bay Horse is renowned for its excellent food & drink - beers including Theakstones, brewed nearby in Masham to an old and trusted Yorkshire recipe. A wide range of home cooked food is available at lunchtimes and evenings, with all the produce being purchased locally and cooked to excellent standards.
Over the years the Inn has been extended and altered to its present-day size. It features a cosy, well-appointed bar with beamed ceilings and open log fire, and has a stunning, unspoiled view of the village green and cricket square.
It dates back to the early 17th Century when it was a blacksmiths shop with stabling and sold ale! It is alleged that the trial of the 'Akebar murderer' (the murder stone stands at the roadside at Akebar) was held in the upstairs billiard room, the murderer being found guilty and later hanged in York.

Aaron Beswick2024-03-22Ordered some food for a group at really short notice, presuming to be told they couldn’t accommodate but couldn’t have been more wrong. Wonderfully kind people, who went out of their way to provide a prompt and quality service! Whilst I’m not from the area, if I do journey to Crakehall, I’ll be visiting here. Thank you all very much. Best wishes, Aaron
