The Queens Arms, Leeds

There's sign on this pub that says built 1630. I don't know if it's been a pub since then, but it certainly looks the part. Wooden beams, low ceilings, horse barasses etc make for a traditional "Olde Worlde" looking pub. You walk in to a small room where there's a couple of stools and access to the bar. Further on is a larger room with comfortable settles around the walls. There's another room at the rear with more of the same and a TV which was showing muted horse racing. There's a patio out the back with more tables and chairs and a wooden extension in a separate shed like building is the games room, with a pool table & darts etc. Unusual, but clever idea if you don't want to change the character of the main pub rooms. Four handpumps on the bar JS Cask, T Taylors & Tetleys plus a weekly changing guest which when we visited was Wharfebank Slingers Gold. I had a pint of this and it was very well kept. We only stopped for one as we were heading for the train back to Leeds. Next time I think we'll call in one the way into Horsfoth as it's a very good pub.
