Vocation & Co, Hebden Bridge

I couldn’t get along with this one with its cafe interior and plain decor. A few of their cask were on including a strange sweet stout. Very busy on a Saturday evening with some large groups looking for food. Dining is burgers only.

There are a few external benches,but on entering it felt more like a cafe with coffee type tables scattered around. However to the right up a step is a section with a rank of 6 seater booths with 2 seater tables along the window frontage and this area felt more pub like.Food plays a large role here and many punters will be dining but just drinking is fine. There is a beer menu,with only two Vocation real ales in Heart & Soul(NBSS 4) and Bread & Butter but there are a further 16 keg options including guests and sparkling ciders. More somewhere to pop into rather than a base for a session but worth a visit if you want to try some outlandish keg beers.

4 cask and 16 keg lines at Vocation & Co - a mix of their own Vocation ales and guests across both. Smells very foody when you go in. I think dining may be off to the right though didn't really investigate as the bar area was to the left. I went for the Bread & Butter by Vocation on cask and found it a very pleasant drink. It slipped down a little too quickly so ended up ordering a Stout by Moor Beer Company (on keg) while waiting for my friend to finish his drink. At this time of year there aren't many places serving dark ales so I made the most of my chance and it was bloody lovely. Seating was a bit limited but there was a shelf running the length of the left hand wall that we managed to perch at. The toilet facilities are a bit small for the size of the venue, with just two shared toilets just beyond the bar. A place I would be happy to pay a return visit to, should the opportunity arise.
