Pub of the Week

a Last of the Summer Wine tour.

But you would have to be an eagle-eyed fan of the show to recognise on the left hand side one of its characters, Miss Davenport’s typewriter perched on a shelf along with other memorabilia.

So the mother and daughter’s plan is to create a shrine to the show by removing some of the bland pictures from a wall and replacing them with more atmospheric ones redolent of the show which ran for a jaw-dropping 31 series over 37 years.

Lauren said: “When you walk in you don’t know that you are in Last of the Summer Wine territory so we have decided to dedicate one wall to original pictures from the show. And in the summer we’re going to recreate Sid’s Cafe there. We’ve got the original tablecloths.”

But the pub has much to offer apart from its TV showdust.

There are four cask ales, all perfectly kept including Leeds Pale, Black Sheep, Farmer’s Blonde and Tetley’s and freshly cooked food courtesy of chef Kevin Gallacher.

There are log fires, stone floors and a truly idyllic beer garden complete with its own waterfall.

Over the next few months Punch Taverns has offered financial support to transform it while retaining its traditional character.

Visitors in the summer can expect BBQs and music.

On Saturday, July 15, there will be a 1940s themed day complete with sandbags and a specially created menu from that era.

Christine said: “The idea is to do something special to celebrate our first year here. Our first year has been a long hard slog so it will be good to do something nice and I hope everyone gets behind it.”

And for anyone wanting to stop overnight the accommodation has a Last of the Summer Wine feel to it with three of the bedrooms named Compo’s Shack, Foggy and Clegg’s Bunkhouse and Nora Batty’s Boudoir.
