Lunchtime on a rainswept Yorkshire Friday.We enjoyed our haddock and chips while our son nursed a hangover, and pondered the nightmarish qualities of pea and ham soup.Busy with couples dourly enjoying their beer and meals.

Timothy Taylor - Golden Best (was 3.5%)3.40GoodAlways a pleasure to drink this:comforting,malt driven.A northern Larkins Traditional? Served a bit on the cold side-would have been 4/5.
Saltaire - Raspberry Blonde4.00GoodI had rarely come across a fruit infused beer before, and had never tried one,so I was curious.Smelt of raspberries,but tasted of a struggle between dryness and sharpness. A bit heavy on the raspberries but intriguing.

Early doors on a Saturday lunchtime.The pub rapidly filled up with groups of diners and a handful of regulars. Regular events are run, including flower arrangeing and "meet the brewer". Also acts as a deli.

Hambleton - Headless Horseman4.00ExcellentNot another Halloween Horror! In fact, this was a decent Yorkshire pale 'n' hoppy with a good blast of citrus that went well with the excellent Haddock 'n' chips that I enjoyed.
Black Sheep - Best Bitter3.80Not Tried
Greene King - Gangly Ghoul4.20Not TriedHad a taste of my father in law's. A fairly bland dark beer.
