October 2015
Under new management for a few months, still with five pulls in the bar, more in the "Long Room", bitters from Theakstons, Black Sheep and Walls Gun Dog as regulars with a guest from Small World and Hop Studio on this visit. Beer quality isn't bad and the dead animals have gone being replaced by model cars, brewery mirrors and tasteful prints and photos. There has been a general redecoration but nothing drastic to detract from this classic Yorkshire village inn.

Handsome stone built pub on the village green, it has a cozy bar, a dining room and a function room “The Long Room. Traditional pub décor in the carpeted bar, long benches, stools and Brittania tables, no noisey things such as TVs or fruit machines, just conversation and a friendly atmosphere. The usual sort of maps and pictures you expect to find plus a few mounted heads and tails of foxes and otters, dead a long time ago I hasten to add. Five handpumps gracing the bar with fine Yorkshire beers from Theakstons, York, Black Sheep and Daleside. The usual keg products of Tadcaster etc are naturally available. There is a large collection of "we're in the Good Beer Guide" stickers behind the bar testifying to the quality of the ales. Good food is also available.
