Tap on the Tutt

Grade II listed Historic pub in Boroughbridge, North Yorkshire, England


The Tap on the Tutt is a historic pub in Boroughbridge, a town in North Yorkshire, in England.

The pub, in 2014

The pub was commissioned by Hepworth & Co, a brewer based in Ripon, for a site on the Great North Road. It was designed by Sydney Blenkhorn and opened in 1930. A rear extension was added in about 1950, but the building remained largely unchanged under long-term owners. In 2001, it was Grade II listed on the initiative of the Campaign for Real Ale. It also appears on the organisation's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors, with the maximum three stars.[1][2][3]

The pub was sold in 2003 and it was considered for conversion into a restaurant, but ultimately remained a pub. It was known for many years as the Three Horseshoes, but became the "Tap on the Tutt" in 2023.[1]

The two-storey building is in painted render with applied timber framing, and has a tile roof. The ground floor has four public rooms, arranged in a line: a dining room, public bar, lounge, and a second dining room. A further bay, recessed on the right, contains toilets. There is a servery behind, and a kitchen and service rooms at the rear. On the front are two doorways with triangular canopies, and four canted bay windows. The upper floor contains two-light casement windows, and in the roof are six flat-roofed dormers.[2]

Inside the pub, most of the original fittings survive, other than fitted seating and the enlargement of openings between some of the rooms. They include the oak bar counter in the lounge, with a glazed screen above, bar back and fireplace surround, all in oak.[2][1]
