Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Spotted Cow
Fine looking pub, standing in the middle of the cattle market (although that was not in progress when I visited so all was peaceful in the autumnal sunshine). The main bar and seating area lies straight ahead from the entrance corridor, with a single step to catch the unwary. Surprisingly, for such a traditional pub, no handpumps were visible to start with, but I did then see a smaller counter off to one side which turned out to be for the 'tap room' behind an anonymous door to the left as you enter. I found a pair of Timothy Taylor beers on tap; Landlord of course, plus the Golden Best (£4.50) and savoured my pint while admiring my heritage surroundings.

Old Boots left this review about The Spotted Cow
Recently reopened after a refurb. Multi room layout. The yobbish punters and poor beer quality make this one to swerve, previously in the GBG but very doubtful if it'll ever be again on this showing.

Small, traditional pub tucked away near the cattle market. Comfortable & cosy with 4 real ales of good quality

This Grade 2 listed building dates back to the 16th century and is an unspoiled time warped pub that is full of character with flag floors and low ceilings.The pub has 2 rooms with the tap room to the left on entry and a more opened up room forward of this,with three handpulls on the bar although only 2 were functioning on my visit.
Arrived just after noon and around 30 of the Yorkshire tea brigade were already in consuming gallons of the stuff without an alcoholic drink in sight.My first thoughts were that it was the Adge Cutler and the Wurzels appreciation society on a day out but soon realised it was the local farmers who had been to the cattle market which is next to the pub.Definitely worth a visit.
