Green Man, Stokesley

A warm welcome is assured from the owners of Stokesley's first micropub, situated towards the west end of this busy market town. The pub is striving to go someway towards adhering to the established micropub norms, with its back to basics approach, and where even the bar, seating and tables have all been made locally from beech trees cut by a family friend. And there is nothing 'pagan' about this family run Green Man, though the pub does have a fresh spring feel about it. And upstairs there is a relaxing lounge where it would be hard not to chill out and there is also a loo that would win prizes. Fulfilling a dream of this world travelled newly retired couple, this pub is destined to become the go to place for locals and visitors alike. It prides itself on not having a sports TV, nor any music, nor a jukebox, nor a one-armed-bandit and no food, just pleasant conversation with the engaging owners. Two handpulls, real cider and several Belgium bottled beers help the conversation flow.
