The Darrington Hotel, Darrington

Spent last Friday evening in this pub with about 30 relatives of a similar age who were staying at the attached Premier Inn. Ate in the bar and the food was more than adequate and very reasonably priced. The staff in the bar however made a lie of my earlier comments to my relatives that Yorkshire was a very friendly place. They were sullen and where possible served friends and locals first. Despite spending a good deal of money in the restaurant and bar and being resident in the hotel the manager asked us all to leave at 11.30 as �unlike you lot I have a bed to go home to�
We left and went to the nearby KYTE hotel whose staff was happy to serve the residents amongst us with alcohol and the rest of us with tea, coffee and soft drinks. I recommend others to head straight for the Kyte or Pontefract town centre and give this pub a very wide berth.
