Recently refurbished with a slight change to the name, furnishings and a reduced beer range mirroring changes to the Market Town Taverns as owners Okells refurbish the estate. All new staff, seven casks, almost non-existent bottled beer range compared to before and new furniture have made for changes that have been unpopular in some quarters. The removal of the "booths" (actually a couple of movable wooden screens) has caused the most comment. I found a level of table clearing that puts 'spoons to shame on a quiet early week evening with two of the world's less gifted barmen on duty. Beer quality has definitely declined a bit, and the atmosphere is not quite what it was either. The material relating to Bill Clinton's visit has gone too - sic transit gloria mundi indeed.

A typical Yorkshire welcome (gruff & to the point), this is a large 2 roomed building of character, nicely fitted out & with large windows to the street. Its almost too big, but has a nice feel. A list of many real ales, very well kept

What has happened to what was a fine old pub? Called in
here earlier. Beers - mediocre and overpriced. My wife is a lager drinker - one draft lager available which was unkown and not cheap. No bottled lagers available. We left and went to wetherspoons for some decent beer and lager!
