| A rather ordinary looking pub on a wet November Sunday:not, perhaps the most auspicious start. However,having made the decision to leave the warmth of the car we found that the pub was that rare bird: a proper pillar of the community,host to all kinds of village organisations. From where we sat by the front door, the pub stretched away round the bar ,filled with contented groups of drinkers. Family run, it was like dropping into your favourite auntie�s for Sunday lunch:excellent roast beef with all the trimmings. The landlord is a keen and knowledgeable exponent of good beer:regular beers are John Smith�s Cask and the wonderful Theakston�s Mild. The latter is in the running for my beer of the holiday, if only because it represents my idea of the archetypal Yorkshire beer.The guests were Constantine from York,which I liked-not as extreme as Decade from the same home which I drank last year, and more characterful than the ubiquitous Terrier.This was accompanied by Hambleton Ales Nightmare, which I did not try. Unusually, the pub boasts a cider and a perry on handpump. We were most impressed by the Jolly Farmer: in an age of identikit pubs selling boring ale and industrial meals it stands out as an integral part of its landscape, uniting all interests, and unassumingly welcoming all comers. 9/10 wittenden - 21 Nov 2009 23:44 |
| We spent one night in Dalton and dined at the Jolly Farmer, its a damn nice pub the food was good the place was clean the staff friendly locals and I had a good pint of guiness. It was cheap and pleasant, I believe it needs the customers as the population of Dalton and the surounding area is just over a hundred. The village is where you would want to live the B&B was just right. I would go again no problem. lancaster - 21 Sep 2009 11:23 |
