I can recommend the VERITAS bar that has opened opposite the LGI (used to be The Hogshead at one time).They have a really good range of local beers in.Beware the mulled wine though!I tried it the other night and the amount of cinnamon in it made my eyes water!

Great news for real ale lovers in Horsforth. The Fleece on New Road side is no longer a John Piths, sorry John Smiths house - but has been taken over by Theakstons! Draught 'Old Pec 'anyone?

I noticed the To Let sign has gone from the Fleece and it seems to be doing OK when I've gone past.A new place just opened up on New Station St this week. They don't have a website yet but they are on Facebook (
https://www.facebook.com/friendsofham) and Twitter (

Wonder if they're going to bring the decor up to date, or at least into the 21st century. The last time I went in (about four years ago admittedly) it still had chicken in a basket on the menu as well.

Worst pub in Ilkley has to be the the Station , full of low lifes,bar staff unfriendly and top wack prices to drink in a sh**hole of a pub. No real ale either !

When I was a young 'un in Ilkley the Station was a nice pub with traditional small rooms - everything changes eh ??The nearby Midland is quite amenable though and "unspoilt" to a good degree.Both are railway hotels from the nineteenth century - as the name suggests the Midland was built by the LMS London Midland and Scottish, and the Station by the LNER London and North Eastern.
