The Woolly Sheep is a charming pub in the centre of Skipton with a small restaurant at the back. It is well worth a visit for both the beer and the pub grub.
The beers on the pumps are all by Timothy Taylor of Keighley and a very fine range they are... my personal favourite being 'Landlord'. A delightful pale bitter, hoppy and spicy and weighing in at 4.3% abv. A tad too light for me when eating out, so finding Duval there too was a pleasant surprise.
The pub is split into four distinct areas... at the front , leather sofas, chairs and small tables; in the middle something akin to a public bar then further toward the rear the restaurant and then out the back there's a large outdoor area for the (sad) folk that still smoke.
The restaurant is small, seating around 40. The menu is traditional home cooked pub grub and is executed rather well. As for value for money... I can't fault it. The highlight of the food... the apple crumble with locally sourced cream. YUM YUM!!
