| Popular place by the station with an excellent selection of ales. Beer garden if the weather's nice or a couple of rooms to sit inside if not. Apparently the food is good too. DuchyBoy - 10 Oct 2011 08:38 |
| Exellent Place! Good beer, Good selection of Beer, Friendly and Enthusiastic staff and DOG FRIENDLY too... Down side - dangerously close to the station, I'm gonna have to visit again as I completely missed the town due to thrst. goodhead - 11 Feb 2011 05:09 |
| Hmmm... From the outside and close to the railway this pub looks inviting. However, upon entry the decor is bland, fake modern with no real life. Printed pieces of paper decorate every wall with their best offers of a prime night of music, food and fun... Not exactly inspiring. One chalk board would suffice. Service - Well, after a nervous start from the bar staff after asking what they recommend - I finally was served a lovely pint of stout - Which tasted great, fresh and a lovely way to finish my day of travelling. The constant stares once I had taken my seat were a little un-welcoming. (I point out - that I was well dressed with no attitude and very polite at all times) Food - Hmmm... Where do I start. I opted for a basic dish of sausages and mash - purely because I felt this was probably the safest option not knowing anything about this establishment. I was served in good time, the food was hot. However, the mash was maybe a day old if not longer... I've never had to slice/cut mash before. The gravy was welded to the onions and the sausages - which were meant to be the "Sausage of the Day: were unfortunately just bland economy sausages. So, the food was tasteless and very poor. I left 2/3's of my food. All in all... This should be classed as a second class Harvester pub with good beer and average service. No thrills - No-Nothing to be honest - I left feeling quite empty. Well, actually I left and felt sorry for all the travelling diners who had just joined as I left. So, go for the beer - not the service nor food. Londonfieldsforever - 17 Sep 2010 21:27 |
| Agree with Sinful855...on a sunny day or a Wednesday (market day) I pop over on the train from York. Worth a look too if you are travelling on the train from all points West as every second train seems to turn round at Knaresborough, leaving you 20 minutes to grab a pint. But, hey, why rush there'll be another along in an hour or so! For any train buffs reading, the signal box (controlling the crossing and the train movements to replatform for return to Leeds) is uniquely bolted to the end of a row of terraced houses descending to the river. Quite splendid part of a gem of a railway. caliwag - 12 Jul 2010 15:28 |
| One of the best pubs on my Usual Suspects crawl, particularly when the sun is shining and yopu can sit on the rather small patio in front of the station and watch the trains come and go. Lots of good beers on offer and I have yet to have a bad pint. I'd recommend the Wainwrights to anyone, and at 4.1% and £2.64 per pint is excellent. A recent addition has been Timothy Taylor's Golden Best, which is only about 3.6%, but a little more expensive than the Wainwrights, is a refreshing and easy drinking beer that won't have you falling over. I must try to experiment with some of the other beers before the end of the summer, as the Locally brewed Black Sheep is supposed to be good. The problem is that if I try too many, I'd never make it up the hill to the square for Blind Jacks. The food looks good, though I have never tried anything from the menu, and there are usually meal deals to tempt the hungry traveller. It always seems busy, the staff are friendly, but service can sometimes be a little slow, though I think this is mainly due to the number of staff for the size of the bar. Patience will be rewarded with delicious beers, and it is great for anyone coming from Leeds or York as the station is a short wobble across the road. sinful855 - 21 Jun 2010 16:38 |
