Hart's Head Inn, Settle

A handsome three-storey stone building, the entrance has two options which, it turns out, both lead to the same room that has been opened out from two or three smaller rooms and now wraps around the central bar. Wood panelling painted in shades of grey-green-blue goes to waist height, and blown up photos of paintings act as wallpaper above - Turner's Rain, Steam & Speed is particularly dramatic. There are five hand pumps with three beers from Thwaites. I went for the Original, which was in good condition. Although it was only just gone midday on the Saturday when I was here, there was already some serious drinking going on, with a group of half a dozen occupying seats near the front window and making this seem more pub-like than the previous reviewer found it a couple of months back.
