The Roebuck
A bit of a climb up to this pub, formerly known as The Spite, over the river and up the hill north of Otley [but it does have a large car park!] Mind you, it’s worth it for the fine food at lunch and dinner time, and the beautiful view over the Wharfe valley from the beer garden.
A bit of History – Fierce competition with The Traveller’s Inn a few doors up led to their nicknames- the ‘Spite’ and ‘Malice’.That name stuck, and The Spite only went back to its true name in 2012, along with a renovation and the addition of a large dining area. In the 1870’s, the owner of The Roebuck Inn (as it was then) had a good passing trade with the Washburn reservoir navvies.
