After a good walk around Hardcastle Crags, the ‘aleandhearty’ family were definitely in need of a beer or two. Unfortunately, our preferred choices in Hebden town centre were closed and so we made a spontaneous detour out to the Fox & Goose and were so glad we did. It’s a cracking traditional, stone floored, three roomer, probably best described as having an unpretentious cosiness.
At the bar, six ales were on offer and the four I tried: Red Willow ‘Headless’ & ‘Faithless’, Magpie ‘One for Sorrow’ and Pictish ‘Brewer’s Gold’ were all in excellent condition. Service from the barman was friendly and welcoming and there was a surprisingly good atmosphere on our Tuesday afternoon visit, with about a dozen other punters in the place.
Our visit coincided with the freakish, late-February, summery weather and so, rather than sit inside, we took the staircase, to the left of the bar, up to the hillside beer garden, just to the side of the pub. It was lovely to drink beer in the warm sunshine, but rather unsettling to see the sun dropping down over the far side of the valley, at 4.30 in the afternoon, when it felt like June!
As a family, we all loved this place and will undoubtedly return in the future. Fans of ‘proper’ traditional pubs will definitely find something to enjoy here.

An excellent pub, which became a community pub, three and a half years ago. The pub has a small bar along the back wall as you enter, displaying six rotating ales on handpump. This area also featured an open fire with a dog basket grate and a few tables and chairs along the opposite wall and below the bay window. A similar sized room can be found on the left hand side, and a very small room on the right hand side of the bar area. The pub also had flag stone floors throughout and the walls were roughly plastered in the old cottage style, which were painted white. The walls and ceilings displayed a lot of narrow black beams, which added more interest. We went for the house beer, Pictish Brewers Gold, which seemed to be going down well with the locals. Also we went for the Northern Whisper Yammerhouse, which was another good session ale. The barmaid and locals were all friendly and welcoming.

This has just re-opened as a community pub. That means it is owned by people who bought shares of the pub. The customers were very friendly. It is a little way out of Hebden Bridge heading west on the A646, but is well worth the 5 minute walk, and even if the place is a bit 'tired', the ale is good.
There were 6 real ales but I forgot to write down their names - probably because I choose a rather strong ale.
