Will Larter left this review about The Station

Looking very smart - on my enquiry, the young barman was able to describe the gutting of the old interior in great detail. The three hand pumps are at the far end of the counter - the autovacs previously used here either vanished in the refurb or earlier - with Ossett Blonde and Timothy Taylor Landlord both doing whatever it is that cask beers do in the cellar, so Boltmaker was the only beer on. Apparently the cellar was given a makeover too, so this was in decent condition and £4.60/pint.

Got talking to a bloke in Addingham about Ilkley pubs and I mentioned how poor the Midland and the Station were, he said the Station was no longer a Craft Union pub and was much better. I checked this out and yes it has new operators and has had a big tasteful makeover, three pulls with Taylors Landlord and Boltmaker and Ossett Blonde, two horseshoes of the usuals, nicer fixtures and fittings, worth a look. Not sure the punters have improved though.

Well, only one thing has changed in the ten years since I last visited, the Wainwright has been replaced by Taylor’s Knowl Spring, the pump clip being on a hand written paper note on a Landlord clip on a Theakstons best clip. The toilets are down a side alley. Probably more pondlife than before, the fish tank is quite relaxing.

The Station is has the name implies opposite Ilkley train station.
Once inside there is a single oblong shaped room which runs to the rear,the room is carpeted and the seating is comfy bench type.
There are three TVs all were showing football.
There were two real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Leeds Pale which was a nice drink,the other beer was John Smiths Cask.
I thought this was a decent enough pub to have a drink in before getting the train back to Leeds.
