Completely refurbished in modern style by new operators in 2017, however the three-room layout is unchanged. Food is available all day, mainly in the form of hot and cold snacks rather than formal cooked meals. Take away bottles and cans are available from fridges in the public bar and the rear room has a selection of over 300 board games. There are four handpumps in each of the front bars with up to six changing beers, and one pump devoted to cider. Harrogate & Ripon branch Most Improved Pub 2019.
