Well hidden in the Gore Brook conservation area gives the Vale Cottage the feel of a country pub, indeed it is often described as the "The Country Pub in the city", it offers quality and comfort in a peaceful setting. Parts date from the 17th century, hence the low beamed ceilings, multiple drinking areas and reputed ghost. A relaxed friendly atmosphere, where conversation predominates, which is disturbed only by the ever popular lively quizzes (Tuesday – general knowledge, Thursday – music). The guest beers are often from Moorhouses. Indulge in an excellent home cooked meal (lunches 12-2 most days) in the garden to round off a visit or even partake in Steak Night, on the last Thursday of the month. Don’t miss this hidden gem. The pub proudly displays a plaque declaring it "A Taylor's Champion pub".

Historic Interest

In 1899 it was acquired with Henry Cardwell's Brewery, it then became a Wilsons Brewery house.
