Always appreciate a pub that opens before midday all week (apart from Sunday) serving a wide choice of well kept cask ales. Reasonable prices including CAMRA discount makes this a welcome entry in the Good Beer Guide.
My first visit in 40 years & it felt like putting on a old comfy pair of slippers. Was a regular in my late teens, early twenties, before moving away. Took my son to introduce him to where I'd spent many a happy hour. Lovely, lovely pub, very quiet with it being a Sunday night. Transported me happily back in time.
Out and about in Halifax with Madge. We made a bee line for this Greene King pub that features in the 2025 CAMRA Good Beer Guide. Easy to miss as the pub is hidden down a narrow alley. Only sell one or two of their own real ales, the other six or seven being guest ales. Heavy focus on Yorkshire breweries on our visit. Had a pint of Brew York 3.9% bitter. Madge a lager. Super traditional pub interior, lots of dark paneling. Rooms wrap around the central bar. Separate pool room. Lots of TV'S. Rear outdoor beer patio a little bleak. Cask Marque pub. Live music on Saturday nights.
Don't usually venture to various public houses on a Monday but as a rare day off I visited one of my parents favourite establishments, on recommendation, but I was vastly disappointed by the uncooperative miserable service I was given here on this particular day. I can't knock the prices or the atmosphere nor the cleanliness..it was genuinely just the service I was given. Firefly being served with such shortness and lack of people skills and warmth but then After a small polite complaint I was met with abruptness and with the lack of helping I felt I had to leave the matter and the pub shortly after which was disappointing for a early Monday afternoon
Good pubfor cask ale and free jukebox.
