Visited this pub on the last day of the Whitby regatta and when I walked in the pub was full of geordies all pixxed.... not a good sign. A small but lovely pub the beer (Skipton Copper Dragon) was actually quite decent and well kept...
When some of the geordies left the pub the landlady sprayed air freshener all over and made everyones beer flat.... she replaced them though which I thought was a great touch... overall I quite liked this pub..... it had a friendly atmoshphere but when its packed its packed.... the beer was well maintained...
oh and not all geordies smell either !!

Not my lucky day - 1st 2 ales were off and no apologies - just a grumble about fussy southerners! My 'Yorkshire' father in law put the bloke straight agreeing with me on this one. I visited because of the high rating this pub had. I notice now (too late) that the reviews were rather old! Not a happy visit.

I agree with "postie", we called in on a Sunday afternoon when there were only three other patrons but as there were eight of us that wasn't a problem.
Good beer in a cosy room on a chilly afternoon. Great

What a great little pub, only two rooms but full of character very cosy, old photos on the wall good real ale and others, toilets outside but don't be put off, I called on a busy Sunday but not many people in, its a shame as its a little gem.

The quiet little corner bar can be an oasis from the crowds outside. The Black Sheep was quite drinkable - a noce cosy spot.

and in my rant, i even spelt convertible wrong, just in case the Casual Doctor is reading this!

Very cosy little place, but not a great deal of atmosphere when we went - maybe the TV had something to do with it.
Had Tetley's Imperial, which is class (along with the MILD), which leaves me wondering why these two beers, with some taste, are shunted aside for the pretty tastless cask and smooth. There is no Imperial just 20 miles down the road at Scarborough and the last Tetley Mild i saw was in the Harrows in Wolverhampton
The eradication of Tetley MILD in North Yorks is surely the worst decision since JFK said 'lets take the convertable, i need the air'.
Back to the pub - happy enough to go again, but not at the level rated by the first scorer for me.

2 roomed local with a cosy snug. Black Sheep on in my visit (October 2008)
