This Market Town Taverns pub is still handy for the station, getting several hours head start on the micropub on platform two. It's a handsome building and it looks really smart on the inside too, with what I would guess has been some refurbishing done during Covid lockdown. There are copper-topped tables and smart seating, and the dark green-painted bar counter has a foot rail and hooks, though no stools. There are two sets of three hand pumps, with one naked, another with Boltmaker turned round, and four beers: two from Roosters, one from Ilkley and Titanic Plum Porter. My half of Roosters Little Changes was in very good condition, although not really to my taste - it's got those American hops that only *some* people find garlicky. (It's notable that not only did I pay 35p less for a half here than at the Worlds End, but also that the price for a pint was £3.95 and the half rounded *down* to £1.95, whereas I suspect that my half for £2.30 at the other place was rounded *up* quite a bit.) I was going to rate this pub an 8, as service was friendly and the atmosphere congenial, but I noticed that the fern in a pot on the window sill was plastic, so a 7 it will have to be.

Agree with Real Ale Ray - the trains are every 30 mins.
A bit soulless and identikit inside, it is saved by great beer (TT Boltmaker for me), food and service.

Very handy for the train this one, so we saved it till last. The pub had a good range of eight ales, but unfortunately the beer I wanted had just finished. Nevertheless I did get a very well kept pint of Roosters Yankee and sat out in the patio area out front. The pub is clean and tidy and looks to be well managed, staff were also friendly and pleasant. So don't miss this one out, get the next train.
