Angel & White Horse, Tadcaster

The Sam smith brewery tap that has a large central bar with different rooms leading off it with seating and real open fires. this being the brewery tap is a bit more modern (but not in a tacky way) than sam Smiths pubs usually are but has been done to a very nice standard. the full range of beers was available including both light and dark mild and a somewhat one off india ale that most or any other Sam smiths pubs stock. i had the OBB at the usual £1.80 and this was a nice pint but my pint in the royal oak earlier was kept better in my opinion. I tied a sip of the india ale which was £2.92 but it was far to cold and fizzy for my liking. an all round good pub in the center that was well heated and very comfy. I would defiantly return if in Tadcaster and you have the added bonus of seeing the shire horses in their stables from the back window of the pub.

A Georgian styled Sam Smiths pub/eatery in undressed stone; a former coaching inn on the High St, with accommodation, rear patio and stabling for horses! The interior is open plan, in an ‘F’ shape, with the serving bar nestled between the two outstretched arms of the F. This area is the bar, the elongated area is more a lounge/dining area. The décor has red in the bar area, with wood panel in the lounge, along with a wood colour painted higher wall and ceiling. There is a raised area at the end of the lounge, slightly screened by a stone and wood fireplace. There are general prints on the walls, with brewing and horses featuring significantly and odd bits of ephemera. I didn’t eat here. The service was fine and the clientele mixed locals. There was no background music, or a TV. Beer; usual Sam Smiths tap stuff with decent MILD. The untried bitter was on handpull. A more than happy experience and I would willingly return
