The Redoubt, Wakefield

First things first - yes, the Redoubt is a wonderful old pub with four individual drinking rooms clad in lovely old dark wood which makes for a quite stunning interior. Elsewhere, there are plenty of aged sporting photos of the pub's Sunday League team from the 80's, plus a jukebox and two TV's. However it was badly let down by the beer - 3 were on (Tetley Mild, Tetley Bitter and Tim Taylor Landlord), perhaps not an awe-inspiring line-up but solid enough I thought. I tried both the Mild (on the turn) and Landlord (lifeless). At £2.80 a pint for the Landlord as well I wasn't impressed. A long way from Good Beer Guide standard. Clearly no quality control going on here. Worth a look for the interior but on this evidence I'd stick to something bottled whilst you're in there. I really wanted to like this place too, shame.
