A quick visit at the suggestion of a blogger who is promoting a Penistone Line ale trail. This is one of just a few pubs near stations on the line which is open at noon, so it's my first pub of the day. Three cask ales and two spare hand pumps. I went for a half each of Theakston XB and Ossett Silver King, both in good or very good condition (NBSS average 3.25). I get the impression that trade has improved since the period just after Covid when I was last here. (No food served but customers are encouraged to order in takeaways.)

Our friend who accompanied the two of us here in 2012 died four years later, so our visit here late last year was partly in remembrance. He did tell some stories about seeing two different women at the same time in different parts of Denby Dale back in the day - apparently he was quite a "babe magnet". Oh how we laughed.
If we'd known the two pints of Timothy Taylor Landlord would turn out to be vinegar we'd have just given the place the swerve it deserves. I suppose it was worth it to be able to report that the interior has been totally transformed, with the bar where the main seating area used to be. In other respects, the background music was, if anything, even worse than last time, though the licensee claimed not to have been here that long ago. He gave us a replacement beer (Marstons 61 Deep) with something between an apology and a shrug. He knew quite well that the beer had gone, he was just trying to see if he could get away with it. I won't say I hope he goes out of business, as that would be mean, but he should do us real ale drinkers a favour and stick to selling lager.

A one-roomed pub with modern floorboards replacing what I am reliably informed was a warren of small rooms in days gone by, the White Hart is nevertheless a pleasant village pub, with a fireplace on the left-hand wall and comfortable chairs or pouffes at tables dotted randomly about. There were three real ales available when we visited: Tetleys Bitter, Black Sheep Bitter and Copper Dragon Golden Pippin. Not beers to set the pulse racing, perhaps, but impeccably served and in a relaxed atmosphere, can't be faulted. I'd have a bone to pick about the pretty awful 60s pop music on the CD player, but presumably that's to someone's taste so I'll leave it alone on this occasion.
