Quinno _ left this review about The Bear (JD Wetherspoon)
A fairly bijou JDW which is a converted pub (2011) so has a bit of inherent charm and isn’t the usual barn. Blue tones and exposed stone walls. Just a couple of guest cask as is sensible given the size of the town and pub, my Elland 1870 was in good shape (NBSS 3.5) and only 99p! Can't argue with that. A decent all-rounder Spoons, would happily call again.

One of the better JDWs I’ve been to recently, and still as described by others, below. The young staff were efficient and pleasant, and the atmosphere was convivial. The usual ‘Spoons characteristics were present – mute gaming machines, feral children and people who, twenty years ago, would have been waiting on giro day, but somehow it was a bit more civilised than many other pubs. Ales on were Adnam’s Extra, Lee’s Vanilla Cream Pale Ale, Bateman’s Spring Breeze, Ruddles and Doombar, and there were no quality issues. Worth including in a crawl.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Bear (JD Wetherspoon)
Former coaching inn, now a 'spoons but retaining its traditional façade. Of course, the interior has been comprehensively remodelled, refurbished and extended, but the overall effect is still definitely a good thing... Two banks of five handpumps, with a fairly modest selection of real ales and a cider, but the 'international brewer' Uiltje Mr Feathers turned out to be an excellent pint.
