The Bulls Head, Shipley

Traditional looking pub up a side street from the central roundabout. Inside is a wee bit modernised but nothing to frighten the horses, still traditional in concept. Two bars, a lounge to the left and a public to the right, banquette, stools and low rectangular tables in both. Three pulls in the public with Goose Eye Chinook, Saltaire Blonde, Ilkley Milky Way stout, plus a low T-Bar of national favourites, I didn’t check the lounge but a couple of boards suggested Goose Eye Bitter and Tetley Bitter were on alongside the same sort of kegs. The public has a board floor, machine and dart board on the chimney breast over the woodburner plus a screen in the corner. Inevitably perhaps there’s unnecessary piped music. Weirdly two wooden casks lurk under the public bar counter, see photo. It’s a lot like Ray and Fiona found it in 2018.
