Large open-plan town-centre Wetherspoon which in previous re-incarnations has been stables (hence the name), a temperance hall, a bingo hall and several shops. This history is displayed, using different art forms, on the walls throughout the pub. Building next door was acquired and is now incorporated as the pub beer garden. Very handy for the bus station and services to Burnley, Ilkley and Skipton stop outside the door. Only non-alcoholic drinks are available before 9 a.m. A dedication to ale husbandry means that it is rare to find a handpump with no ale behind it.
