Good Pub Guide Recommended

Old-fashioned gaslit pub in interesting location with dark-panelled original bar, up to 11 real ales and well liked bar food; seats outside
Now owned by Ossett and with a new landlady, this remains an old-fashioned pub - still making the most of the village green setting opposite. The original bar has gas lighting which adds a lot to the atmosphere, a fire burning in the old black range (with a long row of smoothing irons on the mantelpiece), plain elm stools, oak settles built into the walls, and dark panelling. A more comfortable extension has carefully preserved the original style, down to good wood-pegged oak panelling (two embossed with royal arms) and a high shelf of plates; there are also two other small flagstoned rooms and a conservatory that opens on to the garden. Ossett Silver King, Yorkshire Blonde and a beer named for the pub from Ossett, as well as Fullers London Pride and five guest beers on handpump. There are some sunny benches facing the green (which is surrounded by 19th-c stone merchants' houses), picnic-sets on a side lawn and a nice walled garden.

Excellent unspoiled pub. Great choice of real ales and very good sandwiches at reasonable prices. Beautiful location too.

Great pub but the foul drain smell in the main bar is disgusting it just comes now and again but makes you feel physically sick. Bar staff seem to be unable to smell it though lol
