The Head of Steam, Huddersfield

i often go to the west riding in dewsbury the cellar bar in batley and have being to the navigation in mirfield which are all great pubs. we decided to go a bit futher out and thought we would give the head of steam a go for a change. when we walked into the pub it was lifeless, it was saturday night, there were quite a few people in but no atmoshere at all. the only cask beers were copper dragon golden pipin, black sheep, and 2 others one of which was brigton rocks at 4%. after finally getting served i ordered 2 pints of brighton rocks and a bag of nuts it came to £6.25 which i think is a bit pricey. it might have being worth it but the beer was not nice at all. no real taste and the aroma was like a can of carling lager. there was a massive selection of bottled ales and we were going to buy a couple of bottles of sam smiths nut brown which is a very nice drink. however there was a train to dewsbury due and with the lack of any atmosphere and not much choice of cask we left and went to dewsbury for a choice of 8 cask ales. i dont think i will be going back to the head of steam for a while.
