“Popped in as my hubby had seen it on someone's YouTube channel. We were pleasantly surprised . Friendly staff , huge choice of beers & spirits. We had some halloumi fries & chicken pakoras to snack on. Very tasty. Would highly recommend.”

“Fantastic friendly little pub, with great beers at reasonable prices.”

“Me and the wife discovered this place last night and all I can say it’s unforgettable. Great night with Wayne, spike and Lou. Thanks guys”

“Amazing!!! Really pleased we managed to get a table here. The food was so good, the service was brilliant, definitely recommend, and we will be back.”

“Tucked away in Sunny Bank Mills this pizza is heavenly. Din lighting supported by the natural light from the large old windows adds to the atmosphere, with the music volume perfectly sitting behind the background chatter. I had the garlic mushroom sauce wow, rich and creamy with a variety of mushrooms on a perfect garlic bread. The pizza was fantastic, wonderfully balanced sauce and tasty ingredients. Staff were cool and friendly, chill but attentive, and very welcoming. Loved it!!!!”

“We found this pub by chance when staying in the area during the August bank holiday weekend, they managed to squeeze us in last minute and so glad they did, we all ate something different and each meal was delicious Not only was the food lush the service was great too, all the staff were super friendly and helpful, quite clearly genuinely enjoy working there, we enjoyed it so much we went again the following evening, again all had something different and again the food was great . Really tastes great and home cooked and cooked well. I believe my dad will be talking about the steak and ale pie for EVER and my mum the chips Unfortunately I only took one photo, this is the beef lasagne, my meal from our first visit 100% recommended, my only regret is we didn’t go back for the Sunday roast, we went somewhere else in the area that had been recommended ! That’s a separate and less complimentary review”

“If you like real ale and craft beer, this is the best place to enjoy it. Its family run and full of atmosphere and nice people. They have music every Friday night at 8pm and if that's not your scene there is an upstairs section with more tables you can use which is a bit quieter but at other times the noise level makes it easy to talk to each other. Highly recommended .”

“Lovely little 'taproom' of a pub with Halifax Steam brews & decor inside. There's a small car park, and the pub itself is in a shipping container type add on to the brewery. The service is wonderful, kind, and child friendly. Prices & selection are decent & interesting. Would definitely return again, and our daughter loved the quirky fishtank bar. Thank you!”

“Nice hidden gem in Bradford. Friendly.locals. spacious bar, decent tv function room.for watching sports.”

The room was to a high standard and the bed was the comfiest on the trip. Breakfast was excellent. The bar is cosy and a nice place to pass a few hours. Car park was fun! But if you can get parked it is free. Great location. Staff were all great.”
