Not a bad pub, but let down by stinking attitude from the barman. Poured a quarter of a pint of Guinness before the barrel ran out and he raced off to change it. When he came back, before he could continue pouring into the already settled quarter-pint, I simply asked if he could start over.

Read moreOut and about in Halifax with Madge. We made a bee line for this Greene King pub that features in the 2025 CAMRA Good Beer Guide. Easy to miss as the pub is hidden down a narrow alley.
