Cracking pub - tried most of the guest beers and they were all excellent.

Lamdlord's missus (I think?!) caught the eye.

Large multi-award winning traditional pub situated to the west of Huddersfield town centre, just outside the ring road.

There's one bar, but with a number of different seating areas.

The pub is owned by Ossett Brewery. As well as their extensive range of real ales, beers from Riverhead and Fernandes were also on. The friendly welcoming barman advised me that both these breweries were owned by Ossett, but were run as separate distinct businesses.

There's 14 pumps in total on the bar. Try the Ossett Pale Gold if you get the chance.

As well as pub and brewery memorabilia, there's a collection of music posters. These, combined with the loudish rock juke box and the pinball machine gave the place a rather studenty feel.

There was a London Pride promotion on at the time of my visit and the pub was proudly proclaiming that the Pride was being served without a head in the proper way.

This is a must visit pub when in Huddersfield - but do note that it doesn't open until 3 pm on either Mondays or Tuesdays

Called in for the first time in nearly 10 years and it has hardly changed from how I remember it. Still excellent beer and I'm sure some of the locals were still in the same places. You would have thought some of them would have died, found jobs, got girlfriends by now. Highly recommended at a frequency greater than once per decade

called in to see what all the fuss was about , had the misfortune to have to stay in huddersfiled for the night, found the beers to be on top form , couldnt understand half of what the locals were saying but was still made to feel very welcome by staff and locals alike. can see why it gets good reviews and mentions in yorkshire pub of the year . a shining light on an otherwise unproductive visit to drabtown UK. pub gets a 9 from me
