Scarbrough Hotel, Leeds

Large Nicholsons pub close to the station. This used to be one of my regular stopping off pubs in Leeds when I worked here and stayed at the nearby Marriott. It's all one large room now and was packed on Friday night at about 10:30. For some strange reason they had moved all the outside seating and tables into the pub and stacked them up even though the pub was open and full. This resticted access to the bar and several tables. What a strange thing to do. Efficient bar staff were working around this though and the main saving grace on this visit was a pint of Junction Brewhouse Porter which was in excellent nick. Not a pub for the faint hearted on a Friday night and it wasn't up to its usual standard. But I'll still call back as it's usually better than this.
