Awful atmosphere at this public house. A depressing environment that feels like a local-exclusive place. Was met with hostility as soon as we walked through the door. I was at this pub with 4 of my friends (of which are all local) and after playing 8 games of pool the owner proceeded to cover the pool table with a wooden board as to dismiss us from the table. Participate in the pub quiz. Won. Was congratulated by the barmaid confiscated our prize due to reasons unknown (most likely our youthful easily-discriminating age). I’m led to believe this is due to the fact they we were not regulars: BORING.

This is a Stonegate Pubco establishment (which includes Craft Union Group) but has a long time tenant. Moderate size and seems to focus on food Thursday to Sunday. Comfortable with some quirky design features. Sells 3 real ales, Taylors Boltmaker plus 2 guests - usually Yorkshire breweries. Large car park and 'beer garden'.

Hospitality is an alien word and a concept clearly not understood. A very toxic atmosphere makes you feel you shouldn't be there.

Really gone down the drain since Craftunion takeover. Reasonable service but poor attitudes from all bar staff. Undesirables at both sides of the bar not addressed by staff. Filthy language of one particular staff member. Really makes it a battle having a pint in here. Ugh....!

Superb service from start to finish. Room was so clean and you had absolutely everything you would need. Loved the magnifying make up mirror and the soap/shower gel smelt wonderful. Smothered Steak was so tender and beers were cheap. Breakfast was a full English and was yummy. Would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended. 🙂

Pobre distanciamiento social y personal del bar reacio a intervenir. Durante mi visita, el equipo de fútbol del bar entró y usó el área de la mesa de billar sin pensar en el distanciamiento social, pero el personal no lo desafió. También fui testigo de cómo el personal limpiaba los vasos pero no limpiaba las mesas después de que los clientes se iban. Tuve que solicitar esto para la mesa en la que me senté. La mayoría del personal es joven y no parece estar dispuesto a ser más proactivo. No tendrá prisa por volver.

Having moved into the area recently and my mum and dad coming up we decided to have a few drinks in this pub was having a great night until the landlord/manager Neil threatened me. He wasn’t happy that my dad asked to change his pint because it was a bad pint then as my dad was tasting his pint the second time to see if it was any better the manager was glaring right at him then we sat down and I had a little go of vape as there are no signs saying you can’t do this he came over put his arm round me saying do that again I will kick you out and you will piss off my regulars and you will also piss me off the right way to treat new customers after putting about £80 behind his bar my mum put a complaint in as she is a Solictor. Won’t be stepping foot in that place as up at the top by the bar is a clicky group and he doesn’t care about any of his other customers.

This how all village pubs should be. Bright, welcoming staff, well kept beers at reasonable prices and no overwhelming smell of food. If you want to eat then it is nuts, srisps or pork scratchings. brilliant. A local I know - we were visiting the village - told me it had recently had a makeover and prices had been lowered and the Friday teatime we visited there was standing room only! Enough said.

Called in with my 20 year old Son for a drink (Me beer him coke) one Friday recently.........I was asked if my Son had I.D.....I said he didn't need any as he was only drinking coke......the young girl behind the bar said he wouldn't be able to stay as there is a strictly no under 18's after 6 p.m rule and as he couldn't prove his age he couldn't stay! Is this the kind of ridiculous rigid unreasonable rule that will attract families to the newly refurbished pub? I don't think so. A 20 year old man out for an hour with his 50 year old Dad drinking a soft drink is not the same as a group of under 18's descending on the pub on a Friday night! Badly done! But then maybe the problem is leaving the judgment to a young girl behind the bar! We won't be repeating the experience!

Me and my son popped in here one Friday night for a couple of drinks. We liked the pub.it was early evening but already quite full. We drank a local Leeds beer which was very nice and reasonably priced for this day and age. The atmosphere was lively and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. We did not try the food and so could not comment on that but I would recommend the pub for a drink.

After driving past all week after week and seeing the food board placed on the street outside the pub advertising "Home cooked food" "Sunday roast served 12pm til 3pm" I arranged to bring my dad for Sunday Lunch today. We walked in and ordered some drinks and asked the girl behind the bar if she had any menus she said "we don't do food". I said the board advertised food on Sundays and she just replied saying they didn't have a chef??? Completely bewildered as to why you would falsely advertise you do food when you clearly don't .... just another way to get customers in!! Absolutely appalled the board could have at least explained there was no food due to having no chef giving your customers the opportunity to go elsewhere! Terrible experience and customer service!!!

I would have to say after been recommended to try this place for a Sunday roast I wasn't disappointed. I had soup of the day which was lovely and a chicken roast with Yorkshire puddings, mash, roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese, peas, carrots and gravy. Great service and price also the kids meals at £2.95 each is fantastic value. I will be back on a regular basis.

Our expectations were high, having visited the restaurant twice since the takeover. Our experience today did not live up to those expectations Firstly the temperature was so cool that most of us kept our coats on. Secondly the drinks order was incorrect, but was quickly corrected. Thirdly there was no cup for the tea. We had to ask twice, only to be told “you’ll have to wait, they’re in the dishwasher!” Meanwhile the tea was cooling on the table. There were no side plates for the bread and butter. Also, the chips were cool, but the rest of the meal was hot. The fish was beautifully cooked. The staff were frazzled. 2 serving staff for the whole restaurant was just insufficient. The girls tried hard but it was clear to us that more staff were needed. Where were the management? Nowhere to be seen.
