That's a demanding schedule. I hear the Shoulder, Lockwood's got another new licensee.
Thanks so much for all the suggestions. I have printed your note to take with us to Holmfirth. We look forward to the Taylor ales, especialy Landlord. We'll have that again in Keighley (sp??) of course. Really prefer the Ram Tam when I can get it, but it's not always to be found.
What's within an hour or so drive?? Used to be a great brewpub up in Oxenhope, but I believe he sold up. Any other great (!) ones around??
Yes. Pronounced as "Keithley". In the same vein that the Sair Inn is at "Linfit"
People are free to make mistakes without ribbing from the locals[1] as most of the local names don't match the spelling.
Landlord + caramel. Still nice.

Thanks Steven, wonderful info. We'll get to them all, I'm sure. How's the Waggon and Hosses in Oxenhope these days, now that the brewer moved on?? I have also noted everal smaller brewers in the Keighly area. Any we should seek out while in the Haworth area (after Holmfirth). Also, last time over there was a small brewpub just outside of Leyburn, but I can't find it now. But .. I see a brewer in Askrigg now -- maybe the Leyburn brewpub moved to Askrigg??

Are there any pubs in slayyyth-wait.....?
Well yes but it's pronounced "sla-wit" with the emphasis on the "sla". As far as I remember the pub with the beer is the Star. That could have changed as it's a long time since I was there - but the pronounciation's still the same!

Don't know but it's Slawit to the locals, such as my dad :-)

The only half decent pub in Slaithwaite is the Wharfeside. The others are very poor.
Paul in Slawit.
I know :-)

We're a funny lot round these parts, most folk call where I live Yetton (Kirkheaton).

Ram Tam tends to be seen more in the winter and is around at the moment i many Taylors pubs. The Wagon and Horses is no longer a brew pub but is still a very good pub for beer and food. The branch area which stretches into North Yorkshire has 8 breweries the newest one is being extremely well received - Naylors which is at the Old White Bear at Crosshills.

Speaking of spelling and pronunciation... Why is the pub called the Wharfeside when it is alongside the canal wharf not the River Wharfe?
Peter,
I pointed this out to the landlord when the sign first went up. He was not amused!!
Paul
Other than the Nook, Hervey's Bar (3 Copper Dragon beers + Tetleys) & the Old Bridge (Batemans beers & guests) are both well worth a visit. Sycamore at Wooldale (various), a mile or so away, is too.
Cheers
Mark
Thanks for ALL you suggestions. We may have to spend an extra couple of nights to try them all properly. It's a difficult job, but someone has to do it.
thanks all
