| I don't know how long the current landlady has been on the job, but when I was there some years ago I had a splendid time. Good company and very fine beers. I was a tourist but the locals were exceedingly friendly. I will say the shrimp dish left something to be desired, but the rest of the night was great fun. I'll go back the next time I'm in the area.

| Large, open plan, U shaped room with a mainly splendid choice of ales. One end is a lounge set out for dining, the other is a comfortable bar, modern but in a traditional style with dark wood, mixed furniture and pump clips as object d'art. There is a dart board, games machine and big screen telly with Sky Sports in the bar area. Five handpumps serving John Smiths Cask plus four changing beers mainly from Yorkshire micros, my pint (Acorn) was in really excellent condition, if only I wasn't driving I would of had another. The standard range of kegs found in a lot of Yorkshire pubs will be found here. The other punters were fine and disappointingly non sweary. The staff were great, apart from one minor quibble - refilling someone's dirty glass – not really recommended with swan necks. The pub is the only one in the village, in the main street which is lined with agreeable, and pricey, 18th and 19th century houses, however behind the pub is a small estate of social housing. Handy for the auction mart and A19/A168 interchange, if you're in a car, outstandingly better than most Thirsk pubs. oldboots - 6 Aug 2009 19:57 |
| Having read many comments on this site and about our pub i feel that everyone is entitled to their opinion. I understand we can't please everyone. We must be doing something right as the pub is busier than ever, has received many commendations from CAMRA and also is in the Good Beer Guide. What i would also like to point out is that we are a village pub and therefore alot of our trade is local - so to some it would appear to be cliquey - but most people know each other. The Landlady who can take critism but would like to defend herself! lweston - 8 Jul 2009 01:38 |
| Superb in every way - food, beer, atmosphere. A real find. I smiled all night and can't wait to visit again when I'm next in the area. Wonderful!! Dave36 - 8 Jul 2009 01:09 |
| A great selection of real ales and quite nicely refurbished inside, keeping plenty of atmosphere. However this pub is spoilt by ignorant and rude bar staff and a landlady who thinks her staff are right and the customer wrong. I hear the lease is up for sale? If so, will return when under new management. wobblylegs - 7 Jul 2009 18:54 |
