  1. The Owl

    Contemporary British

    A former drover's inn perched above a valley in the North York Moors, The Owl is a rural pub that leans into its setting without making a fuss about it. The kitchen runs on unfussy British comfort, the kind where devilled kidneys and toad in the hole appear without irony and disappear quickly. Rooms are available if the moors convince you to stay longer, which they tend to do.

    One honor, in evidence:

    The record strongest first

    One number, weighted & current 69
