Asset of Community Value

A barely altered early 1960’s small estate pub with two separate bars and a still-active off sales shop. The plans are dated February 1961 for John Smiths Tadcaster Brewery Co. Ltd. by Sir Bertram Wilson FRICS LRIBA of Tadcaster.

The remarkable survivor is the off sales shop accessed via the door on the left of the main facade. It retains the original glass fronted low counter and original back shelving which are stocked with popular groceries such as eggs, sweets and bottled beer. The off-sales reopened in 2000 after been used as a store room for years. It opens during parts of the day (early evenings). However, trade has suffered since 2013, due to opening of a close-by ‘convenience store.’

The public bar is on the left and retains its original bar counter and two mirrored bar backs which have copper canopies with scalloped edges. The stone fireplace dates from 1961 and the fixed seating is the original but re-leatheretted. The lounge bar has its own entrance on the right and retains the original bar counter of ply where the patterning is of triangles and there is a padded velvet armrest to the front of the counter; bar back of mirrors and glass shelves and original fixed seating but no sign of a fireplace. Toilets retain original urinals, floor tiles (and possibly old wall tiles?). The only major change is the replacement of many of the original windows with new uPVC ones.

Closed early 2020 and is currently for sale.
