Andreas pickled eggs are not to be missed! Really good traditional pub with cask ales and decorated to match
Great real ale pub with a reasonable choice of beer. The bar staff were very knowledgeable and helpful.
Holy smoke! Now, food wasn't a thing on a rainy Monday night, however, when myself and my esteemed colleague of Keighley fame crossed the threshold into the warmth and welcome of the Boltmaker's open arms, we furnished ourselves with an excellently kept pint of classic Landlord accompanied by the 'hard to top' Uncle Albert's Barnsley Pig Scratchings - I thought I had everything I needed to soothe my wounds of the past few weeks of employment horror stories... But no, what's this? I notice a series of ominous glass jars on the back bar containing pickled eggs... But not just any pickled eggs, like generic chip shop pickles, these look different, and sure enough as I'm ticking over in my mind, the charming and homely landlady states that "she's been at the couldron again"... These are home pickled, masterclass pickled eggs! I take 2 as I must try the Christmas Special, which I think to myself "This can't work? Can it!?"... "Sage and onion!" the landlady states with the swoosh of an outstretched arm and a glint in her eye! I must try one then... Holy ghost! It... Is.... Sensational!! It not only 'works', but is culinary sorcery!! Perfect beer, incredible pickled eggs! I will be back here with an entourage!! Thank you for making my day, week, probably month!
