Specialities

The inn is perfectly situated only six miles from the famous "Heartbeat" village of Aidensfield (Goathland). The Postgate is something of a celebrity, but under its stage name of "The Black Dog" which is how it appears in the popular TV series Heartbeat. Its real name, Postgate, remembers the martyr Nicholas Postgate, who was born in the village in 1596. Ordained as a Roman Catholic priest in France, he returned to the Moors to minister to those still loyal to the outlawed faith. He was betrayed and at the age of 81 was hung, drawn and quartered in York.
