Super real ale pub situated slightly out of the way down a steep hill a couple of miles from Halifax.A couple of years ago the pub had a serious renovation and refit,which included a new bar, flagged floors and rustic furnishings.There is now 4 distinct drinking areas,the bar area which faces you on entry,a seated area to the left,and on the right a smallish room which then leads to a second small cosy room through a bricked archway which has a good selection of historical prints from local areas. Called in on a Tuesday lunchtime where there was already a fair crowd of customers enjoying the roaring fire and and the wide range of guest beers,among which was 4 from the Ossett Brewery,and beers from the Rat Brewery and Steaming Billy brewery.Although parking looks a little tricky,there is a regular bus service with a bus stop about 150 yards away. Definitely worth a visit

Sorry, didn’t get this place. Fairly standard one bar pub but with a largeish outside high walled courtyard out the back. It opened at 10.00AM in the morning so seemed to be the first point of refuge for the professional drinkers of Totnes. But what I didn’t get was that this blue fronted pub, of an evening it’s lit internally by dull red lighting which, on approach, makes you think you’ve stepped through a space and time portal to emerge in a certain street off Damm square in Amsterdam or the Reeperbahn in Hamburg. Unfortunately this illusion of edginess is quickly burst when you enter to find the same plain pub and same boring choice of Directors and Courage best. Packed out with youngsters though, especially the rear courtyard, so perhaps red fairly lights have some mystical attraction for the Totnes youth. But they don’t for me and I couldn’t wait to leave to find the better pubs at the top of The Narrows.

A most excellent drinkers pub , good choice of beer served by friendly bar staff in a great atmosphere. It's not a posh pub with its stone floor but if your after a great pint look no further. PS mines a "London Pride"

An Ossett Brewery House.
