A pub that was renovated in the 1930s and untouched until 2007, featured as CAMRA's national inventory pub of the month in October 2007, it closed not long afterwards. Thankfully subsequently reopened, it retains an outstanding 1930s interior but with some modernisation, the wood and stained glass remains largely untouched. The pub also retains its original multi-room layout although in a concession to the modern world there are a number of TV screens. Three handpumps in each bar serve five or six local ales, usually including a dark beer. A blackboard opposite the left-hand bar lists the ales including tasting notes, ABVs and prices for pints.
NB. This pub sometimes charges a premium on the price of half pints.
Historic Interest
Grade II listed and in CAMRA's National Inventory
Three star - A pub interior of outstanding national historic importance
Listed status: II
This is one of the best-preserved examples of a small inter-war roadhouse and one whose revival has been a recent success story. Originally built to serve traffic on the old Great North Road, which then ran straight through the town, it was sold off in 2003 by its longtime family owners and narrowly escaped conversion to a Chinese restaurant! Thanks partly to its statutory listing, successfully sought by CAMRA in 2000, it has re-emerged relatively unscathed. Apart from losing original fitted seating and sustaining two enlarged openings between rooms (one now sensitively hung with double doors – pictured) its interior differs only slightly from the 1929 plans by architect Sydney Blenkhorn of Knaresborough. The fittings, which include quality oak bar structures, oak fire-surrounds and stained glass naming the various rooms, are all from the original building scheme by Hepworth & Co., a small Ripon brewery, for whom this would doubtless have been a prestige project.
