A substantial Victorian building, converted to a small hotel at some point but now more of a pub with letting rooms. It retains some nice historical features, including a splendid ceiling over the bar, although it is generally getting a bit scruffy round the edges. It does have a pleasantly restrained feel though (at least when not busy), despite the presence of numerous sports screens, thankfully with the sound off. There is a nice lawned garden to the rear. Just Black Sheep Best being served on handpump, in pretty good condition, with TT Landlord clip-reversed. Nothing of note on the keg taps.

Google has this as a four star hotel so I thought oh-oh, poor overpriced beer with supercilious service. Not really a hotel bar, it’s nicely decorated and it does rooms but I’m not sure where the four stars came from. The service was far from supercilious in fact not that close to service really. Two rooms at the front, a seating lounge to the left and a larger bar to the right, counter to the left in there and running half way down the room. Entering the bar, there was a collection of lager drinkers, as ever blocking any view of the pump clips. Why do they do this? Anyway three pumps but only Purity Ubu available, it turned out to be a nicely turned out beer and (almost) made up for the other shortcomings including the deaf barman who thought Purity Ubu sounded like Campocruzo.

This used to be a doctors surgery before becoming the Shoulder of Mutton pub but it has
changed it's name to the Heworth Inn apparently to attract more vegans and did not go down to well with the locals. The pub is set out in an hotel style and found it clean and tidy with decent furnishings. There was the usual suspects on tap to choose from plus 4 cask beers although only 3 were in operation.
