More NewsWelcome to The Kestrel
The Kestrel is well known in Plompton and across North Yorkshire as a fine country pub. A popular pub restaurant famous for great food, we sit in the tranquil landscape surrounding Plumpton Rocks, one of the most important historic and environmental sites in the north of England. There is always a warm welcome with roaring log fires, freshly prepared food, a great selection of real ales and a diverse wine menu for you to choose from.
A Little Pub History
Plompton was originally owned by Eldred de Plumpton, who passed ownership of the hamlet down over seven centuries through generations of his family. Owned by private hands for so long, The Kestrel was only the second inn to open in the area.


Charming Local Accommodation
Our 10 bedroom Innkeeper's Lodge frequently welcomes travellers to the area. It's our local charm that attracts golfers and ramblers, as well as diners and drinkers from Plompton and nearby Harrogate, Spofforth and Pannal. We also welcome business and leisure travellers to enjoy some of the best bedrooms and accommodation in Plompton.
