The Wheatley Arms in Ben Rhydding has reopened its doors after a three-month refurbishment, welcoming visitors back on 20th November. Despite a snowy weekend, eager crowds turned out to see the pub’s stunning new look, blending contemporary style with the traditional charm it’s known for.
Built in 1863, the Wheatley Arms has long been a favourite among locals and visitors alike, renowned for its warm atmosphere and excellent food. With its refreshed interiors, the 190-capacity pub now boasts cosy corners perfect for winter gatherings and 12 guest bedrooms, ready for festive stays.
Festivities are already underway at the Wheatley Arms, with its Christmas fayre menu launching on 28th November. The team recommends booking early to avoid disappointment, as the pub is already gearing up for a busy holiday season.
Food lovers will find plenty to savour on the new menu, which offers a mix of hearty winter dishes and pub classics. Tempting starters like Prosciutto and burrata bruschetta set the stage for mains such as Black pollock loin with chorizo and mixed bean cassoulet. Classic favourites like Fish and Chips, Lamb hotpot, and Steak and ale pie remain staples for those craving comfort food.
The Wheatley’s popular ‘Hooked on Wednesday’ deal is back, offering Fish and Chips for just £9.95. And for those starting the weekend early, their Friday prosecco deal offers 20% off bottles from 5pm to 10pm.
Located just four minutes from Ilkley and 20 minutes from Leeds, the inn is a convenient choice for festive celebrations or even a staycation. With two function rooms and beautiful gardens, it’s also a great venue for events year-round.
To celebrate its reopening, the Wheatley Arms is running a Black Friday promotion, offering 30% off stays. For updates and offers, visitors are encouraged to sign up for the pub’s newsletter.
Whether it’s a cosy meal, a festive party, or a relaxing getaway, the Wheatley Arms is ready to welcome you back this Christmas season.
