Large pub near the entrance to Wentworth Castle whose interior was mostly opened out some years ago. Reopened May 2014 after extensive refurbishment. The main physical change is removal of a wall to the right of the entrance so that the dining area is now separated from the rest of the pub only by a chimney stack. The renovations are in an over-fussy shabby-chic style with a multiplicity of flooring styles, wall treatments, furnishings etc. Superficially attractive but doesn't really hang together. A pint of real ale is pricey for the area at £3.75 and two halves pricier still (£3.95). Evening food majors on steaks - a more varied menu at lunchtimes.
