Marquis Of Granby Inn, Knaresborough

Magnificent brick built, solid, detached, Victorian boozer of 1899, the interior is also a magnificent example of a Victorian multiroom pub, although recently and sympathetically decorated. To the left on entering the tiled hallway is the main bar room, to the right a sitting room which is like a domestic sitting room equipped with pub furniture. Behind is another bar room and beyond that a small sitting room with darts board. Open fires in both main rooms, the furnishing and décor is very traditional with some splendid photographs of old Knaresborough and the River Nidd and its gorge. A Sam Smiths pub so only Old Brewery Bitter at low temperature plus Sam's usual kegs all at very low prices. The pub was very busy when I called on a Saturday lunchtime with the oldies in the front bar and the youngsters in the back one.
