Duke of York, Salisbury

Square room with central servery, 6 pulls of micro brews mainly local plus a selection of national kegs. There's a special fireplace, decor is brewery ads and pump clips. Very alehouse in character. Opens at 6:30 through the week and doesn't look very open even when it is, check the door.

A Victorian corner pub, it reopened last year as an ale pub and has now distanced itself from its former reputation. It has been refurnished, the regulars are now starting to come back and it's getting a good reputation for its beers. The decor is slightly chaotic, the carpeted bar is furnished with a mixture of benches and chairs, There are no frills, just a basic working pub with good beer and an enthusiastic landlord who likes his ale. Five ales, a Japanese beer and some German lager on this time, all rather drinkable. If the standard keeps up this will be a future GBG candidate, and although it's a bit off the beaten track, it's quite close to the railway station so is worth breaking a journey for. An essential part of a SP2 crawl.

Good range of cider & ale all ales on where in great condition. Very good ale pub
