Nook, Holmfirthback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
IF.... I had to go in there again I would have a bottle. The lines must come straight from the river. I used to be a frequent user, it was good then. What has happened???????????????????????????????????????

The Nook is by far the best pub in holmfirth to have a few pints with the lads! A ruff and ready place to have a good time.

Unfortunately a pub very much on the decline. The beer was, as always, excellent, but the pub itself has become very shabby and is in need of a lick of paint. There's a line between original decor and being grubby. The jukebox is overpowering ( and I say that as a fan of jukeboxes in pubs ) and the pool room seems to be the main focus of the pub and staff. This place is very much living of it's reputatio.

Just to say its a great pub, been going for years, tho not so much now as I no longer live in't valley. In response to the earlier comment, the bloke who ran it looked more like santa than a tramp and its now run by his daughter, who also has the bar restuaraunt next door. The Carniceria, which is worth checking out as the food is nice, but a little expensive

A year ago it was better

The Nook (aka Rose & Crown) is a blinding little pub. I spent one memorable (for the most part) St. Patrick's night there, which started well at 4pm when I was offered a steaming bowl of Irish stew and soda bread on the house. You don't get that at O'Neills... Great beer (including a good selection of local brews), a decent jukebox (although you're unlikely to hear it playing should you pop in for a quiet lunchtime pint) and a real fire in one of the rooms make this a little gem of a boozer. Even the somewhat, er, idiosyncratic pool table doesn't detract from its charm; just try to find a local who'll tell you where it is. Clue - have a look behind your nuts...

Great little pub,easy to find (ha,ha),regular guest beers,open fire,only thing I could find wrong was there was a strange smell,it must be good,1 bloke had come 14 miles to visit and a group of camra members also came specialy.
I beleive it used to be run by a bloke who looked like a tramp,now his son and daughter in law have it,one complaint is there are a couple of steps to the toilets which sort of buggers things up if your dissabled,when I was there,there was Timothy Taylors best bitter on,Holme Valley brewery,Copper Dragon from Skipton plus the usual beers

You want character ... you've got character! In the centre of tourist trap Holmfirth (Last of the Summer Wine), this is a genuine local boozer. Great atmosphere and sound beer. And no tourists!
