With Spring now upon us, the recently refurbished Knox pub on the outskirts of Bilton is an enticing choice for outdoor dining.
Simon and Katie Swannie took on the pub in 2016 and have worked tirelessly ever since to make sure it becomes the hub of the local community.
The couple’s continuous improvement led to a major refurbishment, both inside and out.
If you need to shake off the winter blues and soak up some sunshine, or just want some space to let the kids run off the Sunday dinner, The Knox has the space, and the atmosphere, for your perfect outdoor dining experience.
Great dining space inside and out
The welcoming beers garden are dog friendly and south facing, making the perfect sun trap.
Out the back the large dining area is perfect for taking advantage of the weather and large family meals. The goats and chickens in the pen just behind the pub will no doubt be a hit with the kids while the parents enjoy a drink.
The inside of the pub is spacious. There’s plenty of room in the main dining area, or if you’d prefer there is also The Barn which is quirky, cosy, and available to hire.
Revamped menu
The new menu is sure to be another hit for The Knox and compliments its steak nights and pub food classics with locally made and sourced food specially selected for outside dining.
Convenient if you’re after a quick snack while you drink. If you need a quick rest while exploring the beautiful Nidd Gorge or Oak Beck, the pub is a short walk away.
So whether you are looking for space for a family meal in the sunshine, or a picturesque corner to settle down in for the afternoon the Knox pub in Bilton is the perfect spot.

Tucked away on the outskirts of Bilton is The Knox, a stylish and welcoming pub.
Once a working dairy farm, it’s now a popular spot for locals and visitors alike, thanks to the stellar reputation it has built.
The kitchen serves a delicious locally sourced menu, alongside a broad selection of quality beers, ales, and international wines.
The Wednesday steak night is a particular customer-favourite; order two meals of sirloin pave steak with all the trimmings (including a homemade creamy peppercorn sauce), and you’ll receive a complimentary bottle of wine.
The traditional home-cooked Sunday lunch is spectacular. Choose from roast beef, roast turkey, or a vegan mushroom wellington, served with seasonal vegetables, roast and mashed potato, homemade Yorkshire pudding and gravy.
Alongside the traditional kitchen, The Knox has a dedicated pizza kitchen to create hand stretched, cooked-to-order Italian pizzas.
Beyond the food though, it’s the entertainment and events that really make The Knox stand out.
With two massive screens, The Knox is a fantastic place to watch major sports fixtures, while the monthly live music nights always bring a great vibe to the pub.
The Knox is available to hire for private functions, with access to the pizza kitchen and extensive beer garden (complete with barbecue facility). Full catering can be provided, and with a large, private car park there’s plenty of space for everyone to attend your birthday, wedding, or corporate celebrations.
