The most Northerly Micropub in England. Selling 4 cask ales, 3 traditional ciders & a selection of world craft beers. The Curfew also dabbles in wine, gin & bar snacks. We enjoy popping in ourselves from time to time and always find the staff to be welcoming and friendly and full of advice on their fantastic range of beers. If you're unsure what to try, we recommend the 3-beer paddle. The place always has a nice buzz about it.
