West Riding Refreshment Rooms — Restaurant in Kirklees

I’d heard word about the Sunday Roast Dinner at the Ridings for a couple of weeks at this point but it’s only once I’d tried it for myself did I understand the hype.

Awesome Ale Trail Pub!!! The West Riding in Dewsbury is one of the highlights of the Ale Trail from Manchester to Leeds (another being Stalybridge Buffet Bar). The staff are really helpful, informative and friendly. Mason, one of the bar staff, talked me through the guest ales and provided me with a flight (3 x 1/3 pint glasses served on a wooden rack) of ales which allowed me to taste a greater range (did this a few times) before settling on my favourites. Zoe, another staff member talked me through the pie night (Tuesdays) menu and when they came; our pies, mash, mushy peas and sliced onion soaked in vinegar were delicious and took me back!!! All this was served by the fireplace and was really enjoyable on a cold night! We will be back!...

The West Riding pub is a great place with character and characters. It has history and a traditional old pub feel. I love that about it.

It holds an ever changing selection of ales and beers so there's always something new to try as well as some reliable favourites. All good quality.

Some nice fireplace spots and a converted car park area to a good little beer "garden" area, that holds regular live bands.

The beer prices are a little on the higher side, and the small kitchen means the staff have to try hard to get good food out, but they do as good a job as they can with what they have.

You can grab a train ticket if heading on somewhere and walk right from the bar to the platform to catch the train. Perfect

All in all, a...
