Taylor's on The Green, Keighley

Sounded like it would be an enticing Timmy Taylor tap outlet but in actuality it's a modern large refit with dire piped music and a dining area at the end – you could be anywhere and nowhere. “Are you eating?” - no. When in Rome, so went for the two lesser spotted TT ales of the six I could see, the Landlord Dark was very nice (NBSS 3.5) but the Havercake had a nose to it and I couldn’t finish it (NBSS 1.5). After a while it became clear that only Landlord was shifting. If this is their flagship pub they need to order a new flag and grease the pole a bit. GBG-listed but, frankly, I’d skip it next time.

No change to the layout but the decor is more pleasant. There’s still a dining area at the back but decorated with cask ends (metal), beyond is the beer garden. Only tables and chairs in the middle of the dining area with booths to one side and sofas and leather armchairs to the other. Sofas and a variety of seating options elsewhere. Eight pulls with the Taylor's range, a group of six in the middle of the counter with the other two on the counter end. The staff are liveried with Taylor's t-shirts and in some cases “Taylor’s on the Green” aprons. Beer is better since my last visit and it’s a fair renovation of their flagship pub.
