Allegedly one of the five cosiest pubs of England,due to COVID regulations and the bar being full, we sat outside and enjoyed our beers on an increasingly cloudy and chilly lunchtime.

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. |
