2026 Update
A recent refurbishment has brightened up both the interior and exterior, with greater use of corporate GK green. The furnishings have also been smartened up - there don't seem to have been any structural changes but there may be even more sports screens around if that is possible. Ales on were IPA and Old Speckled Hen with two guests from Brew York.

(2023 Review)
A large and much modernised pub, divided up into numerous areas including some 'snug' sections, but all a bit heavy on the sports screens. Terrace at rear. Despite being a Greene King pub, it seems to have a healthy interest in cask ales, with a display of what's on and what is coming next. There seem to be two guest ale pumps alongside the GK regulars, which on this occasion were both serving Ainsty brews and very nice too. Actually not bad for a modern-type circuit/sports pub, but there are better offerings not far away.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Windmill

Large, multi-room pub recently refurbished by Spirit in a reasonably attractive semi-modern style. Has a rear extension and a patio terrace at the back. Heavingly busy when we walked past earlier on a Saturday evening but rather quieter a bit later on. On the downside, several of the real ales - from a total of six handpumps - had finished, leaving a choice of Greene King IPA, York Guzzler and Leeds Pale (£2.90).
