We’ve been in the Brewery Tap several times over the last couple of years since it opened. It’s owned by the Leeds Brewery and has a small micro-brewery upstairs in the pub; this isn’t the main Leeds Brewery but where they do their Leodis lager I believe.

In 1972 summers were proper summers. It was in the June of that year that I paid my first visit to Ilkley. I was on a cycling holiday, and Ilkley was the first stop on my ride from Leeds. A solo holiday in the Yorkshire Dales! Four plastic bags …

On the wettest day in April that I’ve seen in a long while, the Rutland Arms was a welcome port in a storm. Despite the rain, and it was truly torrential, the pub had still attracted several loyal customers, a number of whom were enjoying lunch. It’s one of those …

On our recent trip to Sheffield, The Harlequin was high on our list of favorites. It wasn’t long before we had succumbed to the extensive beauty of their gin menu: Geranium, Bloom, Death’s Door, 6 O’Clock, Blackwood’s, Tanqueray Rangpur, Hendricks, Bombay Sapphire, Gordon’s, …
