You must visit Pubs in Yorkshire!

Despite the sad news that sees pubs in the UK closing each month, the traditional pub is still very much alive and well in Yorkshire. And these traditional pubs, very much a part of Yorkshire’s tradition, are acknowledged as being amongst the best in the country!

Most people will be quite amazed to learn that there are still over 50 independent breweries in Yorkshire. Names such as Timothy Taylor from Keighley, Theakstons from Masham and Samuel Smith's from Tadcaster produce fine ales and beers free from that mass-produced taste.

Of course, many pubs have re-invented themselves completely, with food now firmly on the menu. And the big advantage exhibited by rural pubs in Yorkshire is the range of reasonably-priced and excellent home-cooked food available. You’ll find everything from the new breed of ‘gastropub’, offering an extremely full menu, to the smaller pub where you can sit and enjoy a traditional hot pot by a crackling log fire. You’ll find everything from quick snacks to full three-course extravaganzas available.
