Once the most renowned of the three pubs in this group (Woodies and the New Inn being the other two) it was famous for its sporting memorabilia and the crush at the bar.

A cosy, traditional pub with a lively clientele was too much of a target for the brewers and in came the word - makeover.

Don't panic
Don’t panic though it could have been a lot worse, the design is supposed to appeal to "locals", students and those searching for a coffee bar feel.

So there is some traditional panelling, some bright colours and bare wood and a couple of quieter carpeted corners. It seems that the total look is less than the sum of the parts yet the pub remains popular and the beer is good.

After all that is the main point of a pub. Drinkers still travel to the "shoes" as a single destination as well as part of the Headingley run.
