The 50-minute 1979 documentary film*Underground Eiger is primarily about caving but there is a wonderful two-minute sequence which begins at 23:49 filmed at The Old Hill Inn in the Yorkshire Dales.

It’s a party rather than a typiucal night at the pub but nonetheless gives a wonderful sense of atmosphere, and is certainly a great antidote to that grim stereotypical ‘Yorkshire’ pub portrayed in*An American Werewolf in London.
You can find more information on the film and watch what might be a higher quality copy*at the BFI website.
