Venn Street Social, Huddersfield

My visit to the Parish found it very quiet, in the sense that I was the only customer, but I have to say I have not heard such loud and challenging music at 11am on a weekday before. To be fair, it wasn't uncomfortably loud, and I settled down at one of the tables and made myself at home. There are six hand pumps, with two having their pump clips turned around (one being Timothy Taylor Landlord). The beers that were on were Robinsons Trooper (inspired by Iron Maiden, doncha know) and those depicted in my photo. I had Sheffield Brewery's Trail Ale, which was in pretty good shape, though not particularly to my taste. At £3.20 a pint, this pub was slightly more expensive than the average on my day out in Huddersfield. I noted that 33cl cans from Vocation were available at £3.50. I imagine that the Parish is popular with students and lovers of heavy metal. Date of visit: 23rd September 2016

I have been to the Parish hundreds of times for gigs, meals and pre-exam drinks. I love the place as it always has a laid back vibe, friendly bar staff and great music in the venue, recently the bar has gone a little bit more mainstream but that has not affected how the place is. I can recommend the food especially the burgers 'The Squealer' and 'Bourbon Baby' as they are amazing. The drinks on offer are great with a nice selection of Craft IPAs from Vocation and Brew Dog.
