Not a very inviting frontage, with lots of signs proclaiming the restaurant aspect, which is actually located upstairs. The ground floor is a tolerable drinking establishment - a slightly cluttered layout of aged feel with various bits of bare brick and a slightly musty smell, being in a flood area. There are 5 cask ales and a few craft keg, mainly from Yorkshire and including a few from Brew York over the road. It doesn't have the pull of the latter but is much quieter and pleasant enough.

Not been in since their last flood, it’s scrubbed up well and naturally has been redecorated. Four plus four pulls; the front four were fully loaded just one on the set behind, a couple from Ainsty plus other smaller Yorkshire breweries. Ok beer quality but nowt special. Seems less food focused than previously.

A decent place this one and I am surprised this is only our first visit here. Eight pumps on the bar with a choice of five ales, Turning Point Wavelength, Ainsty Flummoxed Farmer, Rudgate Viking, Rudgate Battleaxe and Half Moon Masquerade. We went for the Turning Point and the Ainsty Flummoxed Farmer. Prices were slightly elevated at £6.80 for a pint and a half, still the place had a relaxed atmosphere and the staff were great.
