Dog Inn, Revidge, Blackburn

Marked as closed

If I lived in Masham this would be my local, I have to agree with the black board outside describing the pub as "Real Food, Real Fires, Real Ale, Real Pub". A traditionally decorated small town pub, with plastered walls and exposed beams, open plan with two distinct drinking areas either side of the front entrance corridor with a "darts lounge" up a short flight of stairs at the back. 4 handpulls with a very fine pint of Black Sheep Bitter, also Theakstons Bitter and Old Speckled Hen, the fourth pump was empty. Fosters, Carling, Stella and Caffreys(!) etc on the keg side. Friendly, welcoming, couple running the place, regulars wont bite and neither will the little pub dog. Big screen TVs, and a fruit machine for entertainment. Food served all day, snacks for £5-6, mains for £8-9, usual pub fare but local and fresh, the sausages come from the award winning shop next door and the claim that "We only ever serve homemade chips" is not an idle one.
