This solid roadside pub on the unyielding moors between Wakefield & Rotherham has been plying its trade for years without recourse to modernity. Take no notice of the patterned carpets, faux panelling or wood-chip wallpaper – the food is what matters here. The kitchen serves up beautifully prepared & presented dishes, kicking off with their famed twice-baked farmhouse cheese soufflé or classic prawn cocktail (offered without a hint of irony). After that, loin of Round Green Farm venison with parsnip purée & curly kale followed by spotted dick with Yorkshire custard is perfect comfort food on a ‘wuthering’ winter’s day (as they say up north).
