A few minutes walk north of the train station with level-crossing immediately outside it, you can actually see the lights for the barriers from the terrace of this shop unit conversion drinking venue, so it's possible to enjoy the plentiful amount of seats in a defined terrace area and keep an eye out for your train as there's enough time to make it to the platform once the red-lights start flashing to the stop the traffic. If you are inside there's a fair amount of seating in front of and opposite the bar against the outer left-hand wall as this is not a small unit by micropub standards. The selection in this modern venue is a little staid, with four real ale pumps and probably a couple of keg options, all pretty much local with Roosters and particularly Daleside represented well here and in the fridge. A few Belgium bottle are also chilled alongside the Yorkshire options, but nothing extensive. It's a nice place though if passing through Starbeck.

A pleasant ten minute suburban walk east of the train station, it's in a architecturally thoughtful building on a main road, with its front quite close to the road so no outdoor seating either side of its central entrance. Once inside a horseshoe central bar offers up keg and cask all around it, so you may need to walk around it, and bar stools are popular so peering around bodies to see its worthy craft and real ale might have to happen. Seats with tables are mainly around the extremities of the front room, but a few struggling for any natural light exist behind the bar areas. Traditional, local, it has a good vibe.
