This felt like the holy grail after missing it on previous trips to Halifax, this time I made a beeline for it. A real timewarp of a pub amongst backstreet terraces, unspoilt and full of local character. Clearly very popular too with tables at a premium on a Saturday afternoon in all of the rooms, with conversations flowing between mixed groups. Beer-wise, there is a decent Yorkshire cask selection. The walk from town isn’t the easiest but along Savile Park it does offer some nice views.

What a lovely pub! It's been well described by Nev below, so I'll content myself with singing its praises. One of Camra's heritage pub interiors (two stars), with a real step back in time feel to it. Five beers on at the time of my Monday afternoon visit, with Old Mill Bitter on a solitary pump to the left, and four others in the centre (see photo). My Jericho Blonde from Settle Brewery was in tremendous condition, and expertly poured with a tight sparkler, with the appropriate period of rest before topping up (NBSS 4.5). Two millimetres short of the top, but I'm really not complaining. I walked from the Cross Keys at Siddal, which was enjoyable exercise given that it was pleasant autumn sunshine today, not sure I'd fancy it so much in the rain. A pub this good deserves a further visit, though, so I'll give it at least another go, and who cares about the weather.

A bit of a hike from the town centre so it was a taxi ride for most of the assembled crawlers, obviously worth the effort to get to this very good multi roomed pub with some added heritage interest. The beers, listed by BF below, were a good range and my Thornbridge Importance Of Being was spot on.
