The Swan & Talbot is a decent looking pub with a long frontage,the hanging baskets outside also looked quite nice.
Once inside the bar faces in a long single room which runs the width of the pub,the front area is carpeted,the left side is for drinkers and the right side seem d more of a dining area,there is a separate room up some steps to the left,the seating is pew seats and normal tables and chairs.
There were three real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Collingham Blonde which was a decent drink,the other beers were Roosters Yankee and Taylor Golden Best.
Food was being served and the TVs were showing the Olympics.
The pub was very busy with most being drinkers.
Another pleasant pub i found in Wetherby.

Not quite a posh hotel, a former posting house on the Great North Road, a plaque outside says it was first licensed in 1678, obviously this has been a very high quality establishment but it has moved with the times and appears to have become a bit more bourgeois to meet the lower expectations of today. Entering from the main street it is a long thin room along the frontage with the bar counter against part of the back wall, the room is set out as a large restaurant, almost every customer was tucking into Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding during my late lunchtime visit. The rooms are wallpapered in red gingham and decorated with tasteful water colours. Behind the bar is another dining area. The counter holds two banks of three handpumps with local favourites Black Sheep, John Smith's and Theakstons plus the usual kegs on proprietary founts, service is not quite hotel style but neither is it local pub. Frank Sinatra was playing over the PA, he seems quite popular in Wetherby.
