  “The Barrel is a gem of a pub that balances a warm, welcoming vibe with plenty of energy. The friendly staff add a personal touch, making everyone feel like a regular. What sets it apart are the weekly events—especially the Thursday night quiz, which draws a lively crowd and brings a real sense of community. The beer selection is impressive, offering a great range of choices to satisfy all tastes. Whether you’re there for a quick pint or an evening of fun, The Barrel is the perfect spot to relax and connect.”

  “We have done a Christmas ride in fancy dress, around the wolds for the last 13 years, and the barrel has always been on our rout, always been welcomed and had a good time, this year was different, Im not sure if it's under new management but we walked through the door and was told to leave straight away as they was too full, (which they wasnt) but then was allowed to but only if we was quick and quiet, so we complied, but I think it was the manager who was quite rude to us and clearly doesnt have much Christmas spirit, so we drank up and left, I would have though a pub would have loved to have 16 people buying multiple drinks for a couple of hours, looks like we should try another one in Walkington next time.”

  “A great pub for a beer, unfortunately no food . When we went with friends from the village there was a lovely open fire and a great range of beers. Recommended.”

  “The barrel in Walkington is a proper friendly traditional English Village pub. They serve excellent quality hand pulled cask conditioned real ale. It's a nice cozy pub with several rooms. There is a good sized secluded garden at the back. Dog friendly, on street parking. Highly recommended.”

  “This was our 'calendar' pub for the month of July 23.. Lovely country pub, great inside and even a couple of benches outside on the roadside. Staff were friendly and whilst not a massive selection the beers were well kept. We didn't eat here so can't comment on the food should they do food. Good visit”

  “Dog friendly venue with a good selection of cask ales. They don't serve food and had no hot drinks on the bar menu which was disappointing on a cold winter day. Cozy fire and very friendly staff.”
