Rob Hunter left this review about The Commercial Inn (JD Wetherspoon)
Visited back in March on a midweek afternoon. Very busy towards the front section but there is an area to the rear that is quieter. All real ales lined up in a big row (rather than being split across two or more banks), which is unusual to see. All were on, though the Spoons Real Ale Festival being on at the time may have helped with that.
There is a small outdoor seating area to the side.
The building itself is not anything to get excited about but as a Spoons it is functional, reasonably priced, and has a good selection of ale.

Brainy Pool left this review about The Commercial Inn (JD Wetherspoon)
A rather uninteresting but functional modern style Spoons, predictably very busy on a Saturday evening with groups getting ready for a night out in town or somewhere else. It’s a welcome option in Sowerby and it does the job- like Old Boots I much preferred the calmer area behind the bar.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Commercial Inn (JD Wetherspoon)
Odd-shaped 'spoons, being on an angled corner and comprising several different buildings of various ages. However, the main bar is quite light and modern, although the rear seating / dining area is rather darker. A small patio can also be found round the side. That said, given that has an impressive bank of 12 handpumps, the real ale selection was rather poor, with just Bradfield's Farmers Blonde (£2.10) and Exmoor Stag on as well as the usual trio.
