Shepherds Rest Inn, Lumbutts, Todmorden

A busy food pub, with two car parks that fill up quickly early evening, and doubtless at weekends too. For the drinker, less of an attractive prospect, with limited space and not much to entice on the bar. There are three hand pumps, which had beers from the Marstons stable at the time of our visit, and no reason to think that other times are any different: Jennings Cocker Hoop and Cumberland Ale, and Marstons Burton Bitter. We had the Cumberland, which can be an enjoyable drink when well kept, but this was simply ordinary.
