The Stubbing Wharf is a stone built pub that is next to the Rochdale canal and a decent walk from the middle of Hebden Bridge when it is chucking it down. Once inside there is a single square shaped room with the bar on the right side,the floor is bare boarded,there is bench seating and lots of normal tables and chairs in the middle area,pus one tall table and chairs to the left of the bar. There was a decent choice of real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Roosters Wild Mule which was a decent drink,the other real ales noted were Rat White Rat,Bowland Buster,Saltaire Blonde,Taylor Landlord,Black Sheep Bitter and Daleside Blonde. The pub was packed on my Saturday dinner visit with virtually all having meals,i had to prop the bar up. Not really my type of pub and probably not worth the walk here especially when it was raining hard. Pub visited 3/9/2016

A food- and family-oriented pub, with more babies under six months than I've seen in one place for a long time (I don't see many maternity wards these days, obviously). There's a surprising number of hand pumps - nine - though three of these are for cider. the beers (five of them) were much of a muchness: Timothy Taylor Landlord, Copper Dragon Golden Pippin. Osset Excelsior, Rudgate Jorvik and Black Sheep Best. I wouldn't make a special effort to come here again, though if I were on the canal, either boating or walking, I'm sure I'd be glad of the opportunity for refreshment.
