Metal Bridge Inn is a highly-rated stopover, particularly praised for its exceptionally good value pub food and welcoming atmosphere for motorhomes and dogs. Diners consistently highlight the friendly staff and the generous portions on their set menus.

"Fantastic overnight stay en-route to the NC500 in our motorhome. You will need to book in advance and arrive by 7pm.. Pub grub was amazing and so well priced, dogs are welcome and staff are very friendly.
Toilets are on site as well as fresh water and grey waste disposal.
Lovely walk from the pub for the dogs..🐾"

"During my tour of the UK while fundraising for charity on my bicycle, I stopped by the Metal Bridge in, in the hopes that they would have a bit of space for me to put my tent up and get my head down for the night. Roger, the landlord, couldn't have been more welcoming and generously offered to let me use one of his glamping pods for the night. What a fantastic place to be! Now onto the Inn itself.. the food was extremely great value, with a 2 course evening meal being only £10. Food was really tasty, well made and well presented. The team in the bar/restaurant all went the full distance to make my stay one of the best nights I've had so far on my trip! 10/10 I would highly suggest anyone looking at the Metal Bridge Inn to take a visit, you won't regret it!"

"Great pub food at extremely good prices especially the 3 course set menu. Meals were served piping hot. The staff are excellent and very friendly. We stayed in their purpose built motorhome park up for free because we ate in the pub, the added bonus was the excellent facilities for grey and black waste."
