This pub is more of a gastro pub, than traditional, especially when they were offering a Lobster salad, as a starter on their Saturday lunchtime chalk board menu. The central bar is modern with a granite counter top and chrome handpumps, offering a choice of 6 ales. I went for the Briscoe's Otley Gold, which was tasteless; a glass of water would have made a better choice, not the pub's fault may I add. The beer I tried was priced at £3.02, a bit odd to stick the 2p on top. The original tiled entrance walls and rear corridor in grey and cream up to dado height, were an interesting feature here.

The Horse and Farrier is a stone built pub that is situated quite close to the town centre and bridge over the River Wharf.
Once inside there are two small rooms to the front either side of the entrance,the front left room had normal tables and chairs and a leather settee,the serving bar is in the middle area of the pub,the rear right of this area is raised with the seating being normal tables and chairs,the bar area had pew type seating and normal tables and chairs,the room is bare boarded.
There was a good choice of real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Oakells MPA which was quite a nice drink,the other beers i noted were Roosters Wild Mule,Briscoe Dalebottom Dark,Goose Eye Pommies Revenge,Ilkley Mary Jane and a beer from York brewery.
I quite liked this pub,another Otley pub i could settle in for a session.
