Formerly The Bay Horse – Your Local Independent Free House

Welcome to The Horse and Hound

Your local independent free house.

After eight wonderful years at the helm, we’re embracing our heritage with a new name that honours two of Kirk Deighton’s historic pubs - The Bay Horse and The Greyhound.

Dog-Friendly & Walkers Welcome

The Horse and Hound sits right on popular walking routes from Wetherby, Spofforth, and Kirk Deighton – making it the perfect stop for a drink and some food with your pup.
