Rooms left and right before the bar and a pool room to the rear. TV on left wall showing, surprise surprise, horse racing. Only Theakstone's bitter as real ale.

Located just up from the main square. The pub has a pool table, dartboard and was serving john smith's beers.

We stayed across the road from this pub recently. Decor wise it's exactly as described by OB below although there was a large screen TV in the lounge when we visited. John Smiths Cask wise it's also the same. Very well kept and a very good pint. Very friendly bunch of regulars if a little boisterous. It does have a habit of closing early at weekends. As the landlady says "When they all leave to go up town they don't come back, so we tend to close early if there's no-one in". Up town has got to be at least 200 yards maybe 300. It was certainly closed when we came back to the hotel just before midnight. It's a good locals pub that certainly knows how to keep a good pint of JS Cask.

Tucked down a sidestreet off the Market Place, pleasantly old but unassuming exterior, yet another John Smiths pub. Very bare decor, plain white walls with the occasional picture, a nice, possibly original, beam over where a fireplace looks to have been removed. Comfortable modernish seating. There is an even more spartan room behind with a pool table and a door leading out to a smoking area/garden. Appeals to mainly younger customers. John Smiths cask in cracking condition, the words “I can't believe it's John Smiths!” crossed my lips.
