Market Town Taverns

Useful information: 

A small family-owned chain of 15 pubs in west/central Yorkshire, mostly older establishments that have been bought and demodernised.

Robert Stevens recommends this chain of pubs which are 'spartan in their furnishing' with decent but limited range of food and 'excellent beer'. Typical is the Brigantes at 144 Micklegate York YO1 6JX
In their words ilst all are ‘un-themed but share several common features:-
A unique and welcoming ambience
A wide range of real ales from independent brewers
A superb selection of bottled & draught Continental beers
An extensive wine list
Quality food prepared in-house
Daily and Sunday newspapers
Music free bar areas in most taverns
Dogs are welcome

Fine old-fashioned pub in the heart of St James's

Useful information: 

The Chequers Tavern
16 Duke St, London, Greater London SW1Y 6DB, United Kingdom
+44 20 7930 4007 ‎ ·

The Chequers Tavern is a rarity in contemporary London: a fine old-fashioned pub with reasonable prices, excellent beers, a wonderfully unmodernised interior agreeably battered over the centuries and cheap, simple food ('pub grub' describes it). All this in the heart of St James's recalls a vanishing London not devoted just to the pleasures and purses of the super-rich.
Note: a large TV screen and national flags suggest that football is at times broadcast.
