Friendly, cosy Sam’s pub in their trademark brown and cream colours, with wood panelling. Patio with seating to rear and an attractive garden with kids’ adventure playground amongst trees. Local and passing trade. Large car park.

Two star - A pub interior of very special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

The building is early nineteenth century, or older, but it is the makeover it received in 1937 – by Leeds architect H. Lane Fox for Samuel Smith’s brewery – that makes the Tankard Inn special. This has left us a little two-room interior of modest dignity that has stood the test of time as a good pub design of its period. Both rooms have matching 3-light windows with colourful leaded glass in patterns typical of their time and the public bar has its original bench seating and curving bar-counter. The lounge seating and counter are more recent, however, and this could be true of all the pub’s panelling too.
