I sometimes wish TA had another button. Six would be good as the difference from average to very good in my opinion is good and good is what the LC is... it's certainly not average. As others have said. This is a typical Yorkshire pub. No airs, no graces. The food is good, not brilliant. The atmosphere was good. And good value for money. Let me explain. Sunday lunch. The vegetables with the Roast Beef were poor overcooked and tasteless. The beef however was good and the Yorkshire Pud when it came, excellent. Gravy excellent. The Scampi was really good lots of it, hot and tasty. the chips okish and just short of more peas. The crumble just liked mother used to make. Lots of it. Would we go ag...
It is quite hard, when visiting somewhere new, to find a proper, traditional, non-chain, local village pub. We were lucky enough to find this one. The Lord Collingwood is attractive, popular with locals, has proper open fires, good beer and genuine homemade and home-cooked food at a reasonable price. We had liver and onion casserole with mashed potatoes, chips, mashed swede, brussels, peas and carrots. It was absolutely delicious. The next table was enjoying a homemade lasagne and scampi and chips. Generous portions and .... well, just proper food! The beer was well kept and we loved our visit with this most welcoming couple. A great place to visit.
We went for Sunday lunch and as soon as you walked through the door all you could smell was over cooked cabbage, I had Roast Beef, 1x roast potato (deep fried), Brussel sprouts grey and over cooked, Cabbage that had given up and full of water, swede that was over cooked tasteless mashed potatoes, carrots limp, garden peas were two tone fresh frozen mixed with old pre cooked, and watery gravy. I think the Lord Collingwood should invest in a new chef, because the current one does not have any pride in their standards sorry
After patiently waiting to dine at Lord Collingwood, we were pleased with both the delicious food and the friendly welcome from the staff. My husband enjoyed the perfectly cooked liver, onions, and mashed potatoes, while I opted for the gammon, egg, and chips. Both dishes were cooked to perfection and suited our tastes. If you appreciate well-prepared home cooked meals, you will not be let down. We are eagerly anticipating our next visit.

With some investment I am sure this place could thrive but as it stands it fairly typical of the village pub that has seen better days. The place was awash with children when we went (better than dogs) and two large TV screens dominate the place which for me is a complete no no. The (I think) landlady was very welcoming and I am sure many locals love this place but not my cup of tea I am afraid, dull and drab.
I visited this restaurant for the first time and had a very enjoyable experience. The two open fires made the atmosphere warm and cosy, and the decor was tastefully done. The Landlord beer and Truffler cider were both kept to a high standard. I had a delicious fish pie and my partner had a nicely spiced beef madras. The service was excellent. We will definitely be returning to this place again.
A huge thank you to Bev, landlady of the Lord Collingwood, for providing an amazing coffee morning for the ladies of Skelton WI. She provided 16 of us with a variety of wonderful cakes, sandwiches, as much tea or coffee as we could drink in a lovely pub environment. Bev was so attentive, we shall certainly be paying another visit to this lovely pub very soon.
The beer was excellent and the cozy atmosphere with two real fires was inviting. However, the food was lacking in quality and we would not dine there again. The luxury fish pie did not have enough fish and did not live up to its name. The Southern fried chicken burger was small and overcooked, tasting burnt. No one asked if we enjoyed our meals.
