With a CAMRA citation of *** and a Tetley Heritage Inn, my notes are thin but imagine that little if nothing has changed since the last reviews.
There are multiple rooms and a terrazzo floor.
Eight pumps, my half of Half Moon Dark Masquerade was very nice.
Absolutely worth a visit.

Another heritage pub (3* CAMRA ) with a corridor servery,,mosaic tiling with a glass canopy above, a very traditional public bar to the left with a small servery,flatscreens thankfully off,and darts board in another room and folk distributed around the large interior.There are many features to admire and the ale range on my visit was Half Moon Dark Masquerade,Tetley's Original Cask,Verdant x Woodshedding This House Pale (NBSS 4),Settle Old Smithy Porter,Ossett Excelsius,TT Landlord,Brass Castle Pacer and Swan Session Blonde.A very decent range with a mix of styles and a pub that should be on any crawl list around the city.

I prefer this pub to its sister The Slip down the road as it is has a more traditional interior and has at least as good a range of beers on, including the occasional 'foreigner' from outside Yorkshire. I freely admit I would happily spend time in either though. On this occasion I had the Pennine Palenka Plum and Brandy Stout, which was ok but not as pokey as the name might suggest.
