Certainly the finest pub in Yorkshire. Probably, the best in the world. The Landlord, Paul, is a diamond, allowing for his resemblance to a young Henry VIII.

The best kept cask ale in the area! Always something interesting to have.. pumps always changing. Real ale drinkers dream. My only complaint is sometimes it can be too quiet but they do have a very popular quiz night!
