The Ship, Leeds

A lively alleyway pub but with the dead corporate hand of Greene King showing through. The very bogus interior is incredibly brown, both the main area near the bar and the 'dining room' up a couple of steps. It did at least offer a reasonable selection of beers, with 4 Yorkshire ales plus one from Twickenham and Old Speckled Hen.

this alley pub has been Greene King-ified though without the usual heavily corporate stuff loved by that brewery. It has sadly taken to calling itself a ‘bar and kitchen’ rather than a pub serving food, something that always irrationally irritates me. Anyway it’s okay and kind of reminds me of the small back alley pubs you find in central London.
