A distinct former Tetley's house which still carries a lot of their branding and colour scheme.The interior is sparse with bench seating around the periphery of the tap room,a darts board attached to a chimney breast but covered then a simple back room with more bench seating.It hasn't really changed in years and the photo montage of regulars mixed in with celebrities is a clever joke.The muzak is very distinctive with standards from the 50's , 60's and 70's with nothing more modern.A friendly sort of place where people chat,the flatscreens were off.The ale range on my trip was Tetley's Original Cask (brewed by Matstons these days,NBSS 3.5) and Ossett Blonde with keg beers from Salt making me wonder if Ossett now own this pub.
It cant compete on the real ale front but it would do if you wanted a quiet beer .

It was very lively in the Three Cranes during a recent late Thursday afternoon visit, mostly with middle aged women singing and dancing to loud 70s disco music. The pub is split into two with a front bar area that has a L-shaped bar counter in the left rear corner that faces banquettes and tables. There is also a dartboard, good luck trying to play when it’s busy! Standard keg was available and the three hand pumps were drawing Tetleys, TT Landlord and a decent pint of Ossett Brewery’s Yorkshire Blonde.
A step up through the doorway at the rear leads to a back bar with a high table and three normal height copper topped tables. The brick fireplace on the rear wall contains three lit up cranes, as per the pub’s name. Jugs hang from the roof beams, to be honest any other décor is minimal. The toilet at the rear is very small, and some of the locals obviously have directional issues because if the floor was any wetter I’d have needed a snorkel.
Upon entering I thought this was going to be a shitshow, but the friendly service and great atmosphere meant that I enjoyed my visit and would return if passing.

Walking past, I was attracted by the sign in the window saying Settle Blonde was the guest beer. Inside I found an unspoilt little town pub with no frills and, although first impressions were not great, I soon warmed to the feel of the place, with a few locals chatting and absolutely no tourists! Along with the Settle ale, there were Ossett Yorkshire Blonde and Tetleys Cask. A great escape from the commercialism of the city centre and worth supporting.
