History: A large roadhouse style pub that began life as a Tetley establishment, became a Mr Q's pool house for a while, but latterly had settled into a community pub role. Vast lounge on one side featuring two raised areas, one with a pool table and games machines, the other area was more comfortable, while a stage at the far end completed the scene. In fact, the stage end of the room somewhat resembled a club in its layout. Next door was a separate, equally huge vault, nicely fitted-out, and complete with TVs and pool. 20% off pints for CAMRA members.
