The Tickle Toby Inn, Northallerton

a very narrow, very long pub, basically coming in three sections, a front bar with a few tables in the window and to the side in a raised area, a drinking shelf runs down the side opposite the counter. Further back and down a level is another bar area with tables and chairs then behind that a large dining area looking a bit like a tea room. Each counter has three pulls and a range of keg founts, John Smiths cask appears to be the regular and Black Sheep Bitter and Golden Sheep along with Hambleton Stallion were listed as guests. The beer was in good condition served by on the ball staff even though the blandly uniformed waitresses were very busy with diners. In fact this Saturday lunchtime the place was heaving with people eating, the ages ranging from children in buggys to OAPs. Maybe it's different in the evenings but as the atmosphere was that of a cafe I prefered to drink up and leave.
