As mentioned in a previous review, this is a "new" pub, opened in 2010 in a very old building. There are nine hand pumps on the bar (see photos), and between the four of us I think we had five of them, all in very good condition, though poured with the locally typical tight frothy head which may not have suited all of them. We found a table in the second room to the right of the bar - we didn't need to explore the upstairs as it was not that busy. This pub is very handy for the bus station - there is no railway to Otley, the nearest station being Menston which is a 10 minute bus ride away.

Paid an overdue visit to this pub and was most disappointed. My pint of real ale was not good. My wife had half a lager and complained that it did not taste nice. What has happened to what was an enjoyable pub to visit?wetherspoons standard

We called in here, early on a Saturday lunchtime, so we managed to occupy a window seat on the bar side and was soon chatting away to the people next to us. There were 9 handpumps in use, so we went for the Ulverston Harvest Moon and Briscoe's Lighter Shade of Pale. The Briscoe brewery, a local beer, which was started in 1998 by a Dr Paul Briscoe, who started brewing in his cellar. Whilst at the bar I purchased one of their hot pasties, locally made, which I have to say was outstanding and coupled with a good pint of beer, you can't go wrong.
