Unfortunately not, I generally only go to Rowton if the weather is dire, which means the Gully route is impassible. Otherwise I am doing something squlid, Rowton isnt you see.
We called in yesterday evening - was pretty dismal - warm G&T
However rumour has it that the new (local?) owners take over very soon, within days - hopefully they will improve what was once such a superb cavers' pub.....and rip out those blummin uncomfy benches!
After Travelzoo cancelled our Marton Arms booking (the night before check in!), we managed to get in at the George & Dragon in Dent. Good clean accommodation, good food, good grog and good service! Can recommend it.
