This is a remarkable testament to Ian Hayes, who bought the derelict pub (previously a keg/lager grothole) and only opened it in June this year. He's even installed a small brewplant which should be operational in the foreseeable future. With the assistance of Alex Travis, formerly of the Fox and Goose in Hebden Bridge, he's turned the pub into a real ale paradise (fitting in well with the other real ale pubs on the Huddersfield scene)



For those who live nearby, there's a presentation on Monday 27th Nov. For those who don't, it's worth a visit at some point. Taylors Landlord at £2.00 is a bargain (as are the other 7 real ales) and the website, whilst basic, is kept up to date.

Interesting, as a Huddersfield lad of 60 years standing that's one that's slipped under the radar, I thought I'd been in most Town pubs, I'll give it a try.

Agreed. Cracking pub, with an excellent selection of imported bottled beers, too, some of which I haven't even seen in this country before. Apart from the beers, he's even got a bottle of Latvias Balsams behind the bar.

Impressed!
