Crossing Club, Grosmont

This is a club, which means that the bar may be only open to members.

Owned by the villagers, this not-for-profit cosy club, situated opposite the North Yorkshire Moors railway station is accessible from the ground floor door, then up a flight of stairs.

The Club serves up to four real beers, and was set it up following a period when Grosmont went temporarily dry. It has now featured over 1400 different beers to date.

The Club is now brewing its own beer, Preservation Ale, a 4% ABV blonde beer, and available exclusively in the Club.

Featuring much railway memorabilia, the Club, part of the former Cooperative building, has a single bar on two levels and limited opening hours, whch may be extended during NYMR steam galas.

Set amid beautiful scenery in the Esk Valley, great walking country, but please note, Grosmont is French for 'very big hill'. Ring the door bell on the front door to gain entry. Note: Not ideal for the less-able bodied as access to both the bar and the toilets require stairs to be negotiated.

Annual and weekly membership is available, which is ideal for holiday makers, while bone fide guests can be signed in up to 4 times a year.
