| The long serving Landlord and Landlady left this pub. It is now being run by temprorary management, many locals complain thet the character of the pub has been changed, it has lost its uniqueness. The ales are hit and miss, mostly hit, obviously the Tetleys is not as good as it used to be because Tetley Brewery closed in Leeds. THIS PUB IS NOW FOR SALE, the asking price is a little too much, but we all hope a buyer can be found and keep this great pub going. Up to 5 ales are on, and there are price offers (see chalkboard outside) Kez1 - 1 Mar 2012 08:00 |
| In before Col U FA Cup game - 5 ales on, had Tetley's Cask - it was good. kernott1 - 13 Nov 2011 12:26 |
| The main attraction here is the quality of the beer, which is always excellent. It has always been Tetleys Bitter and Mild (rare these days), plus a guest. [ May change when the Tetleys Brewery closes ] Although the staff and clientele are friendly enough, it is rather cliquey. You get the feeling that, if you aren’t a regular, you don’t really belong here. Pub is very keen on “bar games”. On my last visit darts and dominoes League Matches were taking place. You may be banished to the back bar if you are not taking part in these ! Football is shown on the TV, but reception is less than wonderful ! 6/10 – not quite my colour Martinsh - 17 Jan 2011 23:37 |
| Good old fashioned alehouse not so far from the station. Had a pint of some Darwin ale which was very nice to quaff in front of the open fire. Your best bet for a decent pint in the proximity of the station. Snarling_Mallard - 4 Dec 2010 00:55 |
