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.

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.

Not a lot of add to Mr P's review,food orientated but still pubby enough to enjoy a few well kept pints,justifying the GBG entry.All tables are numbered,so you may get someone eating next to you but hey ho.I was pleased to see that you need to order food from a different position from where you order drinks,an excellent way to avoid ordering frustration.Despite all the food on offer,the pub is dog friendly .There was a good rock tape playing,and the bar staff were young and friendly.The menu is extensive but some dishes are with "jus" which doesn't seem to fit well in West Yorkshire,although this is Hebden Bridge with all it's sapphist influence.
Boat trips operate from the towpath behind the pub,so expect tourists ,but this a pub I would be happy to visit again for a decent pint or two.

Stubbing Wharf is next to the Rochdale canal, has a few tables outside by the towpath and focuses on food. As such it inevitably attracts walkers, cyclists and families. The building, both inside and out is a traditional pub being stone built with comfortable upholstered benches and seats and plenty of dark wood.
Inside, which we reached by heading downstairs from the towpath, it's a one room open plan affair but with some sectioning. The main area is laid out for dining with a smaller section by the bar where you can enjoy a quiet pint or two. I didn't peruse the menu but on a sunny Tuesday lunchtime there were plenty of people eating and the food looked good.
Unlike Mr. Bumpkin, we found the staff friendly and attentive and, in one case, very attractive - an unexpected bonus.
Beers on were: Bradfield Farmers Pale Ale, TT Landlord, Black Sheep, Copper Dragon Golden Pippin, Purity Pure Gold and Black Sheep Velo along with 2 real ciders. The Farmers Pale Ale and Landlord were both ok without being top quality.
A nice spot to stop for a pint or something to eat.

Nice looking building. Interesting location. Promising range of ales and ciders on tap. Ignorant bar-staff, so we walked out. Nuff said. There are plenty more pubs out there and better places to spend our money. Will not be returning.

I hadn't been in here for a couple of years until last Friday and it seems to be smaller than I remembered. This may be because it was full of families having early evening meals. It's quite a pleasant looking stone built pub one roomed pub, although there is a function room upstairs. Very food led, but there are 8 handpumps on the bar serving a fairly safe selection of beers plus York Jack O Lantern. Two of the pumps were serving real cider. I had a pint of the Copper Dragon Golden Pippin (I didn't like the York brew when I tried at the brewery, so I wasn't having another one here), which was a decent pint. It's an OK pub, but it's better when it's sunny and you can sit outside between the canal & the river.

I liked this place very much and would go out of my way to return. It was a lovely surprise to find this place after a walk along the Rochdale canal, and I retreated to find a good range of ales - Black Sheep, Landlord, Copper Dragon Golden Pippin and a couple of guests, including an excellent Empire Longbow (£2.50). Place was doing a brisk trade in hearty looking food and I very much enjoyed sitting outside taking in the afternoon sun. Lots of families dining as well.
