From 21st June 2021 operated as a True Town Tavern by Welcome Inns. One of 4 such pubs in the area. Due a major refurbishment in late 2021 / early 2022, so some details below may change. See pub Facebook posts for more information.
Originally three cottages, this award winning, spacious community pub has lots going on: acoustic jam night (Tuesday), quiz night (Wednesday), open mic night (first Thursday of the month) and bingo and fun quiz night (Sunday). The back room has a pool table and darts and dominoes are available. The main front bar is divided into three distinct areas, each with its own feel. The Kings has been a regular outlet for Westons cider, fetched from the cellar. Regular buses from Keighley to Ilkley stop at the front door; those going the other way stop across the road at the back. From time to time the front windows feature hand-paintings by a local artist. The photos on this website show those painted for the Tour de France, which passed the pub in 2014. Branch Community Pub of the Year 2016. Branch Pub of the Year 2017. Beers are served using traditional Yorkshire economisers.
