| Black Bull | At a prime location in the middle of Main Street is another tourist oriented pub with a fake (I think) olde worlde interior. A small selection of well kept real ales and a good looking menu.

Main Street |
| Fleece | The full range of Timothy Taylor's beers in this splendid ale house situated right in the middle of the tourist area. The multi-roomed interior is nice plain traditional pub style and not at all the fake olde-worlde I had feared in this prime location. The food, which has gradually moved more up-market in recent years, was very good last time I ate there, and they've a fine range of foreign bottled beers in the unlikely event that you're not keen on Taylor's brews.

Main Street |
| King's Arms | At the top end of the cobbled Main Street is this very pleasant pub serving hand pulled Tetley and Black Sheep, with economisers in use, in accordance with local tradition. The interior is stone walls and wood beams, possibly all fake? The food looks good.

Main Street |
| Old White Lion | Right at the top of the cobbled Main Street is a large multi-roomed pub with very olde-worlde (fake?) decor inside. There are two bars plus a restaurant and the bar menu looks good. I sat in the very comfortable smaller bar. They serve a small range of real ales, I had Tetley Bitter, and it looks like economisers are used.

| Riverhead Brewery Tap | A plain wood floor and tastefully understated traditional decor with the odd barrel thrown in for authenticity in this fine pub. A wide choice of real ales from the brewery downstairs (visible through a window) and from the owners, Ossett Brewery. I haven't visited the dining room upstairs.
