This is a nice little pub, as smart inside as outside, with green paint on wood panelled walls, good quality carpet and traditional pub furniture. There were a dozen or so locals with a few sat or stood near the bar. Two hand pumps with Abbeydale Moonshine and Ossett White Rat, neither of them beers that suit my palate, but judging by the display on the "coming soon" board, this is what they like around here. The lass behind the bar was friendly and my half of Moonshine was in good condition. There was some racing on the TV and a good Saturday afternoon atmosphere.

Revitalised pub, choice of well kept ales, has had a facelift to the exterior, good outdoor area, nice bar staff, give The Houghton a go it's a proper pub.
