Lunchtime on a windy Tuesday.A similar clientel to our last visit, with a few more walkers.I first came here in 1975 or 76,it being one of a very few pubs selling cask beer in Co. Durham.

A largely middle aged clientele, together with a table of young mums and their babies and dogs.We sat by the window in the pannelled bar on an October Tuesday lunchtime.

Fairly quiet on a cloudy Wednesday lunchtime.The bar seems larger, as they have knocked through into an adjoining room.Pleasantly old world.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Black Sheep - Reaper | 4.10 | | Red ale,enthusiastically packed with Yankee hops,including Summit, which apparently has to be hand picked as there aren't (or weren't) any machines for picking dwarf hops in the US.What larks. |
| Black Sheep - Best Bitter | 3.80 | | I often overlook this,but on form it is a fairly flavoursome Yorkshire bitter,the gritty side of malty. |
| Thwaites - Wainwright (please now use the Banks's entry) | 4.10 | Not Tried |

A smart hotel with a cosy bar, attracting locals and visitors.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Black Sheep - Best Bitter | 3.80 | | Not my favourite beer, but well kept, and presenting that bittersweet edge that gets me behind my eyes. |
| Theakston - Best Bitter | 3.80 | Not Tried | Was planning on trying this, having seen that it has been repatriated to Masham, but a local returned his,saying it wasn't right. |
