Up it's own arse Taylor's pub where the pretentious and the wannabes of Ripon go to talk loudly to "impress" visitors. The ale wasn't really up to much either.

Smartly decorated pub which looked the nicest of the ones we saw in the city centre and it was popular on Saturday afternoon (race day but the meeting had already started). Big enough to accommodate drinkers and diners alike. After a couple of evenings enjoying the beers of the Masham breweries, it was nice to find that this is a Timothy Taylor house and the Ram Tam was in great condition. I can see why the last reviewer is/was a regular visitor.

Another visit to Ripon with the wife and I staying at the Royal Oak on the Thursday before Easter, we arrived at 9.30pm so had time for several drinks before it closed at 11pm.

On arrival it was very busy, several couples, a group of girls but mainly blokes.

Like my previous visit’s here the ales are excellent, on this visit I tucked into several very good pints of Timothy Taylor’s Landlord. Other ales available were Golden Best, Ramtam, Boltmaker and Saltaire Blonde.

Cracking pub and I can highly recommend the full English breakfast we had the following morning.

Another re-tick for me after dinner at the local Italian restaurant on a Saturday evening in late January. We arrived here at 11pm for a couple of drinks as I knew it was open to midnight.

Older crowd in here than the Unicorn around the corner, it was about a 3rd full with most of the tables and chairs taken up by groups or couples, food had stopped being served so the restaurant part was empty.

Timothy Taylor's Golden Best was again in excellent form just like on my previous visit.

I’m due to be back in Ripon in March and we are planning on staying here next time as they have rooms.

The Royal Oak is another cracking pub in Ripon, great little City with friendly locals and good pubs.

Timothy Taylor pub just off the Market Square.

4 Timothy Taylor ales on the pumps, which were Landlord, Ram Tam, Boltmaker and my choice Golden Best @ 3.5%. The 5th ale available was Saltaire Blonde.

2 seating areas at the top of the stairs as you enter the pub with the U shaped bar to your right. Light and airy inside with lots of trendy lights hanging from the ceilings. The walls are painted a different colour in each room, while hanging on each wall are pictures, drawings and photos all in gold frames, this adds a warm decorative feel to the 2 large rooms. To the rear is a large dining room with an open fireplace.

Music playing softly, a couple of locals chatting to the barmaids at the bar, not that busy on my visit but still a very nice pub
