This was another pub that I'd had to miss on my midweek visit to Knaresborough, as it's not open until 5pm, but at weekends it's noon. It's a mix of traditional pub furniture, bare boards and walls painted in duck shell. The bare chimney breast to the right is a feature. The bar is immediately apparent on entering, and the young man attending was friendly, welcoming and happy to talk about beer. The four hand pumps gave a choice of two from Roosters, plus one each from Arbor and Durham. I went for First World Problems, a stout from Roosters which was in good condition. Date of visit: 30th July 2022
