The Robin Hood Inn, Pontefract

Since it's a new landlord it could probably do with a new start on the ratings. Been again today and the pub has a very friendly feel with families welcome as well as the usual regulars, and a number of new faces. The beers, which are in great numbers are constantly changing, though thankfully there are plenty of Filey brews left. had a pint of Old Empress today, an old favourite which is as good, if not better than before!

The Robin Hood Inn, Pontefract

The pub is now redecorated, though essentially unchanged, so it's the same Robin Hood we always knew. The old photos are back, and there is a massive range of beer. There's all the usual stuff like Becks and Hoegaarden, if that's what floats your boat, but there is also a wonderful selection of real ales, many from the Filey brewery, I believe made by the new Landlord. Rumopur has it that he wants to set up a micro-brewery round the back. If he makes more beers like the few I've tried then bring it on as soon as possible.
