An old pub just off the market square aimed squarely at the locals. The slightly decrepit interior has been tarted up with odd trimmings, like random cupboard fronts, but revealing some ancient brickwork beneath. Several large screens dominate proceedings, while overloud (admittedly rather good) music was being played. A DJ booth is tucked in at the back and there is a games room and garden signed to the rear (not visited). No cask ales now, just John Smiths and Neck Oil as bitters with mundane lagers. Valid for its own market I suppose, but I didn't find it particularly welcoming or pleasant.

Sadly the good things didn’t last here, it occasionally still tries cask beer but fails miserably - the punters here are universally lager or smooth drinkers, the same is true across most of Ripon’s pubs with only six pubs selling any drinkable cask and one of them is the ‘spoons so a bit variable.

A new lease of life with a new manager apparently. The beer quality has been transformed from warm soup into something very drinkable. The three pulls have Black Sheep Bitter and changing beers from nearby brewer Pennine. This is one to watch.
