It was a very wet day on Thursday, and David and I slept in, then
grabbed the papers and went out in search of a pub to read them in. We
tried a couple in Loftus, one was rammed with folks and the other was
clearly hosting a wake! We then moved on to the Captain Cook Inn at the top of the town in
Staithes.
We love this pub. The big Victorian pubs have their admirers, but I prefer a country pub. I know the Captain Cook wouldn't be everyone's pint of bitter -- it's shabby and dark -- but it's comfortable, is a great place to spread out ones papers and relax, and best of all, it has GREAT beer and cider. David had a pint of a guest bitter and I had some tremendously strong and delicious cider.

The tables, shown above and below, would be great for the do-it-yourself 1:12 scale pub builder :)
And in the corner they even have a 1:12 scale pub of their own!
