The Groves Inn, Knaresborough

I had just time for one more pub before my train, but when I got in here at around 5pm on a Saturday it was busy with people placing large orders and only one person working behind the bar, which is centrally placed in a large room with the kitchen directly behind it. There were three hand pumps, with Ossett Blonde the only beer on, and I didn't see anyone else drinking it. Given that I had spent half of my allotted 10 minutes waiting to be served, I decided to have a whisky, and spotted a bottle of Dalwhinnie on a shelf behind the bar. Without my glasses I couldn't read the card terminal screen, so it was a surprise to check my bank statement and find that I'd paid £6.50 for a 25ml measure. Date of visit: 30th July 2022
