I didn't exactly go out exploring The Roscoe Head, but still managed to count 3 rooms at this classic award winning pub. It seems I was visiting at the tail end of a Yorkshire Day tap takeover event, so Timothy Taylor ales dominated the bar, with Knowle Spring, Boltmaker and Landlord: the former not often seen; the last increasingly common. The Knowle Spring wasn't quite to my taste, and £5.30 is the kind of price I've become accustomed to paying in 2025, but I'd happily call in again sometime.

Strongers . left this review about Roscoe Head
The Roscoe Head is a small pub that feels a lot like a house with two seating areas up the right, both with fireplaces and the rear one being slightly larger than the front. The bar is found on the left wall where it serves a snug to the front left where a beer shelf runs under the front window and the foyer to the right that is standing room only. The three hand pumps on the bar in the snug were drawing Big Hand Brewing’s Palewulf, Fixed Wheel Brewery’s The Cricket and Colbier Beer Co’s Presto Stout while the four hand pumps on the foyer counter were drawing TT Landlord, Fyne Ales’ Jarl, Tetleys and Thistly Cross cider. Premium keg products and Carlsberg were also available, but alas the pie display case on the bar was empty. The barman was very friendly and I enjoyed my visit to this beer and conversation pub.

A lovely and famous pub that didn't disappoint, quite small and extremely busy as you would expect but this only added to the buzz about the place. Six handpulls offering up Fyne Ales Jarl, Oakham Nectaron, Salopian Chameleon, Coach House Gunpowder, Tetleys Bitter and Timothy Taylor Landlord. A classic pub.
