Sadly the chamber pots have gone although the extension at the back has bedded in and is more pleasant than before. On my visit the beer was crap but a friend who lives nearby says that is unusual so who knows?

Old village pub just outside Masham on the top road to Pateley Bridge and Nidderdale. There is a small holiday park behind, with caravans, tents and some rooms in a separate block providing an on-site supply of punters. Two bars, the front one being set up as a dining area and dangling from the ceiling what is possibly the world's biggest collection of chamber pots. The back room, in a modern extension, lacks the olde worlde character of the front room but is pleasant enough. Two hand pumps in each bar dispensing Black Sheep Bitter, Golden Sheep and guest Stump Cross Ale brewed a little further away at Richmond, in Swaledale. Standard for the area keg offering from Carling, Worthington Smooth, Guinness, Thatchers cider and the more interesting Grolsch Blonde. There is a pool table in the back bar and strangely the walls display a large number of aerial photographs. There is also a patio with open views across the dale.
