Amazing quality food, friendly bar staff. I realise people adore their dogs but the smell coming off 2 dogs made us leave without trying a dessert
Food on Pie night (Tuesday) is nothing short of epic. Service is great, beers are good, it's just a little bit tired.
Good atmosphere, talkative patrons, the staff are nice even though they are a little draconian and eager to enforce the no mobile rule. I get that it's meant to encourage conversation, but I got told off for trying to check the bus times to see if I had time to buy another pint. It's also hypocritical to then accept payments via phone contact less function. I admit I usually do this to be passive aggressive. Lol
Door sign says it all. "Sam Smith Rules". Reply to Landlords feedback comments as below. "Sam Smith" is renowned for imposing his "rules" within his pubs I just don't want to drink in an establishment which applies such rules. I would accept a quiet "technology free" area, but imposing these restrictions throughout is archaic. If "Sam Smith" wants to impose these restrictions then fair enough but I doubt whether this business model will survive. (Decamped to Boons in Horbury. Tradional "Real Ale" pub with no restrictions. Groups in conversation, individuals quietly reading complimentary newspapers, TV Sports, no juke box, a well populated beer garden an oh, customers even smartly checking their phones!!!)
An excellent example of a sam smiths pub, well looked after.
