Lovely, traditional 'gimmick free' pub settled in between Horsforth, Bramley, Rodley area.
Its out of the way which means it has a select clientelle - but clearly a firm favourite as it is always busy despite is secluded location. It is next to the canal so gets a lot of by passer trade in sunny weekends, plus a regular stop for cyclists to refresh themsleves at.
It has excelelnt music nights and beer festivals. It is definately a real ale pub serving never any fewer than 5 guest ales - mostly from local breweries - Kirkstall, Leeds Brewery, Ridgeside, Wharfebank, Ilkely and Osset are the most commonly found ones.
Folk nights on tuesdays, quiz nights, live music on fridays... a good friendly social pub.
yes it is shabby and rough round the edges, but thats part of its charm!
One of my favourites - long may...

Other pubs are using Apps such as Your Round which offers a much, much better ordering system and frees up staff’s time I’m surprised not all pubs have adopted...

We booked a table for 2.30 and yes I get it was very busy but to be waiting well over and hour and half for food is not acceptable. We asked how long our food was going to be to be told I will find out and be told it wouldn't be long. In the mean time other customers that got there quite a while after us got their food first? Clearly I think they forgot about our order at that point. If that was the case why not just tell us that? I understand mistakes happen. In all fairness the food was ok just would like to be told...
