A traditional, compact two room city centre pub which is 190 years old in 2019 with 8 handpumps featuring 7 "rotating" ales, one of which is always a Vegan option and one often a mild. There are 2 keg lines , two bag-in-box ciders and ten whiskies always available, along with 150 gins. The pub has been a regular entry in the Good Beer Guide for many years. Full menu is served weekday lunchtime only but hot pies always available all day. Small pleasant yard to rear for smokers. There's always a friendly welcome which means the pub attracts a lot of regular clients - like a local in the city centre. Particularly busy on Fridays and Saturday evenings. Dogs are welcome on Sundays but not other days when the pub is too busy. Given a spruce-up including the toilets in early 2023.
One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: II
The layout of this late 18th-century pub derives from a refurbishment around 1900 but some fittings are inter-war whilst designation as a ‘Tetley Festival Ale House’ in the 1970s introduced further changes such as the bar-back and panelling in the public bar (front). Through the left-hand door is a passage with tiled floor and attractive dado tiling. Halfway down, a hatch still offers service from the back of the servery. Inside are two small rooms on different levels with a widish gap between them. As noted, the public bar with its bare wood floor and fixed seating, has seen post-war changes. Much of the rear saloon décor is from the 1930s: an Art Deco fireplace with bevelled mirror in the mantelpiece, dado panelling, baffles and (probably) the ‘ladies’ stained glass panel. Another wooden floor here but the fixed seating seems quite recent.
