Established in 1883, The Pax Inn has been a cornerstone of the local community in Wetherby (LS23 7AR) for over a century. Nestled in the quaint village of Thorp Arch, our country pub has a rich heritage that reflects the timeless charm and character of traditional English inns.

Originally built as a village pub to serve the local farming and working communities, The Pax Inn has retained its authentic feel while evolving with the times. Its name, “Pax,” which means "peace" in Latin, captures the essence of what our pub has always represented – a peaceful haven for locals and travellers alike to gather, relax, and enjoy good company.

Throughout its long history, The Pax Inn has witnessed generations of families, friends, and neighbours coming together to celebrate life’s moments, large and small. From the turn of the 20th century, through both World Wars, and into the modern era, our pub has stood as a meeting place, providing warmth, hearty food, and refreshing drinks to all who pass through its doors.

Over the decades, while many things have changed around us, The Pax Inn has always stayed true to its roots. The original stonework and timber beams, still visible today, speak of its long-standing history and traditional country pub character. We continue to serve the same welcoming atmosphere that has been a hallmark of The Pax Inn since its founding, combining modern comforts with the charm of a bygone era.

As a family-run pub, we’ve built upon this heritage by remaining at the heart of the local community. Generations of families in Wetherby and beyond have made The Pax Inn their local pub, and we take great pride in continuing this legacy, offering traditional hospitality, home-cooked food, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere for all.

Whether you’re a regular or a first-time visitor, when you step into The Pax Inn, you’re stepping into a piece of history – a place where the past meets the present, and where community and tradition are celebrated every day.
