The Cross Keys, Knaresborough

Currently the freehold is up for sale, and the place was deserted when I called so any review is unlikely to be a guide to the future performance of this pub. It is currently decorated in the height of 1980s fashion, with the kind of furnishings, Tiffany lamps, short stained glass partions and bookcases then popular. There is bench seating and an excellent lincrusta freeze plus a nicely carved Victorian bar counter. A pool table stands at one end of the single open plan room. Two handpumps but not the expected Tetley Cask as the Tetleyesque exterior suggested but only Black Sheep Bitter as made by Sarsons. Hopefully someone will purchase the freehold and update this pub.
