The Howwood Inn, Howwood

I've just moved from Howwood, and was bitterly frustrated by how the pub WAS run. The previous owners/tenants ran it as their own social club, and many evenings the pub was filled with young (ie VERY young) people, intent on oblivion. Fortunately, it is now run by a young woman intent on making it more attractive, with real ales, and a good atmosphere, with a friendly barstaff. The real ale is hit and miss, but the pub is well worth a visit.

The Sun Inn, Beverley

Unfortunately this is one of those pubs that changes name/landlord/staff etc by the month. Fortunately, it's a good building, with a decent cellar, and with a good landlord, it's a fine pub. We visited today (a re-visit), and there was Spitfire, Landlord and other decent ales on. As it's the folk festival weekend, there were a few brave souls singing. Don't be put off, see how you would feel doing the same!!
The pub re-opened a few years back having been stripped back and rebuilt around original structures, and it had a tour of the progress that had been made, but it seems to be being overtaken by successive alterations. It's a decent pub, not trendy, but usually with decent beers and clientelle. If you drive a car with darkened windows and mindless, throbbing music then this is probably not for you.
