This is a good pub if you want similar prices to wetherspoons but something a bit different. It can get a little rowdy on occasions, but generally is a quiet and pleasant pub. I like coming here for food, as its good prices and a nice atmosphere. They do interesting bar snacks for something a little different to regular full pub meals.

Located just off Otley Rd. on the way up to Market Square, the Hockney is a Smith & Jones Pub which offers an inviting space in which to catch a football match on one of their several TVs, have a few pints, and dine on one of their traditional pub favorites. The entire menu is well-priced, with deals like 2 meals for £5.99, or one of their daily specials like their Sunday Roast or Curry Friday. You sort of know what you’re getting with a Smith & Jones pub, which can be a reliable thing in a new town, though perhaps not as unique as your neighborhood pub. But a nice roast with potatoes and vegetables along with your favorite pint, sat in front of the TV catching the evening sports news, makes for a lovely Sunday.
