Ok looking menu. Prices somewhat expensive for drinks. Nice enough but a bit of tlc needed here and there.
22 Jun 2016 13:26
Almost all tables reserved for food on late Saturday afternoon. Good outside area and beer. Food looked and smelt good.
22 Jun 2016 13:23
Improvement since my previous visit. Food was excellent and beer was very good.

Grassington House Hotel, Grassington
Nice beer. 3 handpumps and excellent looking food.
2 Mar 2015 13:12
New layout seems to work, no longer the poor relation pub in Grassington. Food looked and listening to other customers, is good.
2 Mar 2015 13:10
Nice staff. Big pub on a number of floors. Real ales surprising good as no one but me seemed to be drinking them.
10 May 2014 22:24
Typical Spoons, food reasonable. Very busy on a Saturday afternoon.
9 Apr 2013 14:03
Typical crown carvery food, but all current deals were blacked out by pen on adverts and menus. Good beer. Had a policy of kids off premises by 9, fine with that but when ordering deserts at 8 with a view to eating them then me enjoying a extra drink afterwards was a little upset that it took 45 mins for puddings to arrive, then under pressure to eat quickly and leave. So didn't. Not bad prices for the wifes soft drinks or my ales.
20 Jun 2012 21:48
Ok pub, went contemplating food but food wait was 'well over an hour' Glad they told us so could decide according beer ok and good prices on soft drinks, something unusual these days.
20 Jun 2012 21:42
Looks pretty uninviting from the outside, a good beer choice and welcoming atmosphere awaits inside. 8? I think beers on offer. Handy for Salford Crescent station. Good mix of students and locals.
6 Jan 2012 16:53
Reasonable pool table and outdoor seats. Thats about all its got going for it though. No real ale although a lonely unused handpump on the bar.
20 Sep 2011 12:46
Best ale pub i tried on the island. 200 + malt whiskeys. Gas lamps still lit when discussed. 8 real ales and ciders.
31 Aug 2011 22:38
Good pub next to the cock and bottle (same pub company??). good ales and staff.
31 Aug 2011 22:34
The Dog and Sausage, St Helier
Not a bad pub, just a locals pub that look at you like you shouldn't be there.
31 Aug 2011 22:32
The Cock and Bottle, St Helier
Decent pub, 1 ale - Liberation. Great outdoor seating area.
31 Aug 2011 22:29
Plenty of ale choice both from the kelham island brewery and guests. Wasnt totally sure myself - ales were good just didnt settle with the place.
26 Aug 2011 21:08
The Kelham Island Tavern, Sheffield
Another good pub in the area. Good lunchtime food. Simple to the point excellent no nonsense ale house.
26 Aug 2011 21:05
Good pub as part of my sheffield ale crawl. Bit dissappointed with a customer yelling at the barman calling him an arsehole. To me an excellent ale pub but you cant choose ya customers.
26 Aug 2011 21:01
New landlord recently according to the banners. Food and beer was excellent quality at reasonable prices. Quick service and attentive staff.
14 Aug 2011 10:07
Very expensive pub, not just a "bit more". �5.95 for a pint of normal bitter and half a orange cordial and soda is not a "bit more". NIce surroundings and garden but just doesn't justify its prices.
14 Aug 2011 10:05
Typical large, cheap spoons pub. Neither a particularly good one nor is it a particularly bad one.
14 Aug 2011 10:02
Has got very shabby - in need of a refurb / decoration particularly in the toilets and the carpeted areas.
14 Aug 2011 09:58
Much cleaner since the refurb and has cheap beer. Pity the idiots are still there in large numbers.
14 Aug 2011 09:57
Good robbies ales and food good. BUT over the top prices. It is an expensive place to both eat and drink.
12 Jul 2011 15:41
Roe Cross Inn, Mottram in Longdendale
Friendly pub, real ales on good form. Food looks and smells good and is cheap.
12 Jul 2011 15:39
Royal George Hotel, Greenfield
Three Lees beers including the 7% Moonraker. Food was obviously the main focus and was reasonable. Entertainment on weekends.
11 May 2011 13:53
Nice pub and garden with good beer and attentive staff. Very overpriced for soft drinks like cordial and water. It claims to serve the best food in the dale. That is utter rubbish unless your idea of a good gammon steak is swimming, well drowning, in grease, had to mop the fat up with tissue before i could eat. The wife's sandwich was very good though.
26 Apr 2011 11:31
The Devonshire Hotel, Grassington
Nice enough pub, main problem is the inability to get to the bar due to the number of people sitting or standing at it who don't have any regard for other customers.
26 Apr 2011 11:26
Nice enough pub, seems to lack something that the other pubs in this village have and like the previous poster says makes it seem the poor relation.
26 Apr 2011 11:24
The Foresters Arms, Grassington
Fantastic food and beer. Great staff, dog friendly - even came over with a dog chew for my dog. Been many times over the last few years and will continue to do so.
26 Apr 2011 11:21
Its been 3 years since my last visit and things have improved in some ways. Decoration has been done and beer is still good. Food on the other hand is crap. I had steak and ale pie with chips that came as very very salty french fries and my wife had sausage and mash with *very* watery gravy. On the whole go for a beer but avoid the food.
26 Feb 2011 15:42
The Nottingham Arms, Tewkesbury
Good beer and good looking food, Sunday lunches and Thai specials on Monday nights. Much better.
27 Oct 2010 11:16
How things have changed in the couple of years since my last visit. Not as many ales, nowhere near as friendly. Went in twice for the benefit of the doubt. Wont bother again.
27 Oct 2010 11:15
Outside sitting area by the road but seperated by some railings. Beer ok. Food looks ok but seems a bit expensive.
4 Jun 2010 09:51
Looks good from outside, quite new and modern on the inside. Outside area but staff have to bring drinks to you. This seems to take a while.
4 Jun 2010 09:48
Good beer, good food and good size inside. When the menu says half a loaf thats exactly what it means.
4 Jun 2010 09:47
Great pub, friendly welcome from both locals and staff with good ales to boot, dogs allowed too, What else can i say? Great.
3 Apr 2010 22:24
Now owned and run by the team from the Swan, excellent real ales but currently under refurb. If like me you have a wife / partner who drinks spirts and mixer be aware that they have no draught coke / lemonade etc so its bottles and as such puts �1.50ish onto a round price. Still recommended. Can only get better.
3 Apr 2010 22:22
About to close for refurb when i called in last week so no real ales so had to "make do" with a continental brew. Will re-open with a differnent name in a week or so. Good place doing good things.
3 Apr 2010 22:18
Central bar so more pumps round the back than first appears. Typical Wetherspoons - large room with the toilets upstairs.
18 Mar 2010 11:36
The West Riding Refreshment Rooms, Dewsbury
Called in again on way home. The Black Sheep was excellent. Staff very good as the beer didnt "look" right so she went off to the celler to find out why without even being asked. Very good.
18 Feb 2010 17:31
Quite good for a wetherspoons. Excellent selection of ales and ones i tried were in good form. Looks busy for lunchtime food.
18 Feb 2010 17:29
Used to go in here a lot 10 years ago when it was Walkers Bar. Ale is ok, decor a bit weird, like a lot of Micklegate pubs there are better options for a quieter pint but seemed ok for the football crowd.
18 Feb 2010 17:22
Good beer but the overall atmosphere is somewhat lacking. Nothing to entice me back in given the other options within a 2 mins walk.
18 Feb 2010 17:16
Brigantes Bar and Brasserie, York
Good food reasonable prices. Good ales again at reasonable prices. Real good attempt at creating a old feel in a new place.
18 Feb 2010 17:13
Seems closed now. Stickers of security company emergency phone numbers on all windows / signs. Not boarded up so maybe looking to re-open? Not unexpected though.
14 Feb 2010 10:22
Seems to be part of the Marstons chain now complete with the typical Marstons Ales like Pedigree on good form. Very cheap looking food menu eg Gammon, Egg and Chips for �3.50.
21 Jan 2010 10:11
The Riverhead Brewery Tap, Marsden
The are an outlet for their own excellent Riverhead Brewery ales and also for Ossett Brewery. 5+ handpumps. Very popular with locals and train users alike. Upstairs restaurant looks good.
21 Jan 2010 10:10
All good, friendly staff with plenty of nice ales. One of 2 decent ale pubs near the station, unfortunately these are in opposite directions.
21 Jan 2010 10:08
Proper 3 - roomed pub opposite the Train Station. 6 Hand Pumps all delivering well kept beer. No food menu as such but pork pies are for sale from the bar.
17 Jan 2010 11:52
Bloody terrible compared to the Britannia. No ale, smelly toilets, bad atmosphere.
16 Jan 2010 23:27
Multi-roomed pub. Good selection of real ales including the nearby "greenfield real ale brewing co" beers. Food looked ok. Opposite the station.
16 Jan 2010 23:26
On Platform 1 like the Head of Steam, plenty of good real ales. Bit School Hall like but worth a visit.
2 Jan 2010 22:50
Nice looking location near river, prob great in summer on the deck, but the attention to detail needs adressing - the male toilets need a serious clean not a once over; the food is ok but the prices would imply it is excellent. I had a mixed grill with the steak ordered well done. The blood from my "well done" steak ruined the chips; the black pudding was dry; the bacon and the white pudding was good but the whole thing was not great. 3 real ales on in good form was a big positive though. On the whole i will not be sampling the food again; trying to avoid the toilets; but reckon the beer in the summer while sat outside would be good..

Ye Olde Flying Horse, Kegworth
Like the previous post, this pub is somewhat run down and could do with a tidy up. Unlike the previous post there appeared to be no real ales on although the empty hand pumps are still in existence. So poss have them at busier time or sold out over xmas as I did visit on Boxing Day.
27 Dec 2009 17:32
Proper Friendly local. 3 seperate rooms. 8 Real Ales on top form including 1 mild. Traditional Food menu looks good although was not being served due to weekly Sunday Carvery. Real fire added to homely feel.
27 Dec 2009 17:29
A real traditional place. Can get a bit annoying when the cliquey locals seem to block your view to the 6 so real ales on offer. Worth a visit and well worth staying for another couple of pints.
25 Aug 2009 21:57
Traditional pub with 2 Hydes ales. Near the Station so worth a visit after the Buffet Bar.
25 Aug 2009 21:55
Reasonable Wetherspoons. Ales quite good. Food good for a Wetherspoons.
25 Aug 2009 21:53
The Head of Steam, Huddersfield
Plenty of real ales on offer - tried 2. Food looks ok. On the station so no transport problems.
25 Aug 2009 21:50
The West Riding Refreshment Rooms, Dewsbury
On Dewsbury Station. Great beers at good prices. Seems to be about 4 guests and food avaliable.
25 Aug 2009 21:48
Great outside drinking area by the river. Cheap Sam Smiths ales.
25 Aug 2009 21:46
The self declared "Oasis off Micklegate". Great ales. A true pub in the area. Good outside area. Food was good last time i ate here although that was a year ago.
25 Aug 2009 21:42
Reasonable ales on offer. Not really much else to say though. Standard greene king food stuff on offer.
25 Aug 2009 21:40
Good ales. Interesting atmosphere. Not as good as previous visits but still worth a look.
25 Aug 2009 21:39
2 ales on - John Smiths and Wychwood Hobgoblin. Tried the smiths - in good form. Food ok - i had the jumbo haddock.
25 Aug 2009 21:37
Brigantes Bar and Brasserie, York
Great place. Wish i went in before. Good beer range, excellent menu but have not tried the food. Will be back.
25 Aug 2009 21:33
Plenty of ales as you would expect. Large beer "yard". Great Roosters Yankee.
25 Aug 2009 21:31
2 bar areas but overall the place is tiny. Great range of ales and brilliant staff.
25 Aug 2009 21:28
Plenty of continental beers and a couple well kept real ales. Worth a visit but worth knowing that while the downstairs is tiny there is plenty of tables upstairs.
25 Aug 2009 21:24
Good York Brewery Pub. Nice feel as it is a "new" pub but does have a traditional feel to it.
25 Aug 2009 21:21
The best pub for lunch in York. Portion sizes are massive. Beer is excellent. To the people complaining about resevered signs - they are usually clear enough to see. If not then a quiet word with the staff will sort out any problems. There is not much better "all round" pubs in York.
25 Aug 2009 21:18
Stayed in the caravan park up the road for a week. Excellent food at fantastic value for money. Great welcome from all of the staff, landlord and locals. Went in every night for a week. Plenty ales and "weapons grade ginger beer" along with Cornish Pear and Apple Cyder from the local Cyder Farm.
2 Aug 2009 14:07
The White Lion Hotel, Castlefield
Good outside area. Beer not so great and not so great prices either but cheaper than the Ox down the rd.
8 Jun 2009 18:50
OKish Pub, good beer on. Food looked good but a bit pricey. Drinks pricey too.
8 Jun 2009 18:48
UPDATE - Now 4 real ales on; currently Taylors Landlord, Bombardier, Jennings Cocker Hoop and 1 other. Food excellent at reasonable prices but only avaliable Thurs/Fri eve; Sat lunch and eve and Sunday till early eve. Couple open fires for the cold winters days. All seems to be doing well.
4 Mar 2009 12:53
Excellent brewed on site ales, along with regular guests. Good spicy veggie food at very good prices.
9 Nov 2008 10:32
Ye Olde Black Bear, Tewkesbury
Quite a few real ales on tap. Serves food all day until 9pm but didnt try it. A few rooms from quiet to noisy. Timber beemed structure and has a lot of info blackboards detailing possible history of the building.
3 Nov 2008 10:56
The Royal Hop Pole, Tewkesbury
Massive Wetherspoons pub attracting the typical mix of Wetherspoons customers. The beer i tried was good (Wetherspoons can be so hit and miss) and the food was good, hot and served quickly. Very busy on friday eve and the local branch of the Leeds United supporters club were meeting here before getting their coach to the game on the sat morning as such was very busy then as well.
3 Nov 2008 10:54
The Nottingham Arms, Tewkesbury
Good beer and a pretty good atmosphere. Good mix of locals and tourists, I was not made to feel particulary welcome but wasn't glared at either. Went in a couple of times during my time here.
3 Nov 2008 10:52
Very friendly local. 3 Wadsworths beers on and also a guest, currently the excellent Hobgoblin. Lunchtime food looked good on the menu but didnt try it.
3 Nov 2008 10:50
3 good beers on hand pull. Other peoples food looked ok but the gammon I had was awash with grease.
3 Nov 2008 10:49
Just re-opened after a 3 month closure. Great new owners, really trying hard to re-instate this pub's place on the map. Food in a couple months (from aug 08). Looking good so far.
31 Aug 2008 09:56
The Grey Horse Inn, Manchester
Another small pub. Top quality Hydes bitter and usually the Hydes seasonal ale as well. Great "living room" feel to the place and the gents toilets are outside.
27 Jun 2008 10:12
Tiny pub with limited beer choice. Greeted and told to sit down and your beer is brought to you because of the size of the place.
27 Jun 2008 10:11
Typical Holt's local in the City Centre. Good priced Holt's beer. Seats and benches could do with re-filling and re-covering though.
27 Jun 2008 10:08
Quite good for a wetherspoons, ale was of good quality and reasonable food served promptly.
27 Jun 2008 10:06
Went in this evening for a usual couple pints, tried to order my normal pint and drink for the wife. The (very friendly) thai / chinese / japanese heritage bar staff didnt understand any english at all. The landlord took over but when i complained, he just threw me out. Particularly now this is a customer focused environment. Avoid like the plague.
2 Apr 2008 22:13
Good pub, with a couple beers on offer. Was very busy on a monday night, no obvious reasons why. Good atmosphere, good beer.
1 Apr 2008 12:24
Quite a small pub with quite a few ales on offer. Very reasonable prices. Bit out of it but worth the trek.
1 Apr 2008 12:22
Large (9 on yesterday, 10 hand pumps avaliable) selection of good real ales. Very reasonable food. Worth a visit.
1 Apr 2008 12:20
The Last Orders (The Trap), Glossop
This is now a Cains tied house re-branded as the Market Tavern. Good beers and very reasonable prices. Food menu looks good but I haven't had any.
7 Mar 2008 19:27
Nice refurb. Good Holts' beers served at good value. Nice food although it is the "standard" Holts menu.
7 Mar 2008 19:26
Not a bad pub. More of a restaurant in some ways but there is the bar area and a little room to the right. OK beer but very pricey for both food and beer (pub down road was �1.25 cheaper for exactly the same 2 drinks)
19 Feb 2008 14:39
Good locals pub that made us feel very welcome on a number of visits while staying nearby. Good beer and also does lunchtime food. Only open for a few hours at lunchtime and closes for the afternoon even on busy sunny weekend days
19 Feb 2008 14:37
The Inn on the Marsh, Moreton in Marsh
Great pub for lunchtime food. Simple stuff like gammon, egg and chips, egg and chips etc as well as pies / salads and Dutch Specials. Think that it has different evening menu.
Excellent range of well kept real ales including guests and Marstons Pedigree.
Would definately return when next in area
19 Feb 2008 14:34
The Black Bear, Moreton in Marsh
Nice pub split into 2 halves. Friendly bar staff but i couldn't really rate the Donnington Ales. Nothing wrong with the way they were kept, just not to my taste. Good value for money compared to some of the other pubs in the village though.
19 Feb 2008 14:30
An OK pub, could do with a little decorating, Beer was good. Went in on Tuesday market day though when "all tables are for diners only" according to the menu. I didn't eat and sat down on principle as there was plenty of tables free. The outside area was in need of cleaning however.
19 Feb 2008 14:28
Very handy for the train station. It is a very locally pub but with excellent real ales on offer.
23 Nov 2007 13:21
Large pub, near railway station, food served, a couple of OK - kept real ales
23 Nov 2007 13:20
Great selection of well kept real ales, when demand is there. During less busy times only a couple are avaliable but what is there is excellent. Quality over quantity is always a better option. No food other than wednesday curry night.
20 Aug 2007 17:38
A once great pub. Recently going downhill, food obviously kept warm for too long and the bitter range varies in quality and quantity. I really want this pub to be good, but I keep going and saying "never again", only to visit again after a couple weeks to improve. The recent poor quality is now just once too often.
20 Aug 2007 17:25
Oast House, Spinningfields
Nice building, huge part covered outside area. Expensive. Beer poor
