I recently visited Haworth for a weekend break and visited this pub. The landlady explained that she had recently taken over the pub having moved from the North East. She was led to believe that this was a tourist pub but upon moving in found this not to be the case. It is most definately a local pub. I found the landlady (and her staff) to be very friendly and polite and will visit again in the near future. Wishing her good luck and every success and Michelle, if you read this, I will see you soon. Keep smiling.

Now under new ownership. Beer great but place was rowdy with a 30th birthday party going on (with unironic Karaoke, natch) and taking up 75% of the pub. The beardies from the railway opposite were sat looking bemused but resigned to the fact that there was nowhere else nearby for last orders. Not a place I'll hurry back to if this is the future.

Up for sale as of January 2007. Who's betting it'll end up closed and then remodelled as flats?

Solid looking building containing very little appeal. Staff(?) & locals appear to be killing time whilst awaiting the arrival of the mobile benefits van. John Smiths bitter on handpump undrinkable. Nearly tried the Deucharse but didn't want to get any more depressed.

Marvellous beer... try the Black Sheep, and good friendly service, in common with most "real" pubs in Yorkshire. Seems a bit soul-less... might be due to the serious flooding it's endured in the last couple of years. Popular with the railway lot from the KWVLR over the road. Incidentally, the Royal is a marvellous Georgian(?) building.
