The Grove Inn, Leeds

A flying visit, my first since the arson attack and I was keen to see how the restoration had fared. I needn’t have worried, you wouldn’t know what was new and what was original unless you looked closely. Beer as excellent as ever.

The Star of the show as far as I'm concerned, a tucked away basic looking pub from the outside, inside it's a warren of small little traditionally but comfortably furnished rooms. The centrally placed bar supports eight handpumps of which shamefully I didn't record the beers but staying for two pints had Bridgehouse Blonde and Roosters Easy Going Assassin. The fairly new Landlord, five weeks at the time of my June visit, was very chatty as well as knowledgeable of not only Leeds but the surrounding towns and cities, looking at my pub visit list he gave his view on the quality of my choices and as always took these type of opinions with a pinch of salt but was proved spot on further down the line. A fantastic pub experience, It's getting a rare 10/10.
