| Timeless Brewpub high in the hills approx 2 miles from Hudderfield railway station, only started brewing again in October after a fire in June that destroyed the brewhouse roof. I sampled 5 of their beers, all in top form, no food as befits this throwback to a gentler age when a ticking clock, crackling open fire and conversation were the sounds you heard in a pub. Wonderful, just wonderful. Try it soon the landlord now uses 2 crutches and is getting on a bit, talk from the locals is that the community want to buy the pub when he retires to keep it open. Good on them if they manage that. Hodge1 - 8 Nov 2011 14:54 |
| Spent a pleasant Saturday afternoon in the Sair Inn. Six real ales as brewed by Linfit were on offer: Bitter, Linfit Bitter, Swift, Gold Medal, English Guineas and Old Eli. All these beers were sampled and each one was top notch and in excellent condition. As there is no TV, we had to check FA Cup final scores via my mates internet phone! The jukebox was also heavily sampled too. The great thing is the The Sair never seems to change. This pub is just superb and we are already planning our next visit, which cannot come soon enough.

| First class night again on Saturday. Pretty well unchanged since last visit, and 7 beers available. The best on this visit were Linfit Bitter, English Guineas and Old Eli. Ron is still enthusiastically at the helm, and the locals were again a friendly bunch. Jukebox was not overly loud and the choices of music were varied and good. A real pub, full of real, unpretentious punters. A gem. lad_newton - 21 Feb 2011 01:20 |
| The Sair Inn is a haven of real-alery. A pint (or three) of excellent ale, great music, top banter, beautiful views on a summer evening, and a warm fire-side on a cold january night. There is a lot of joy to be had in the contemplation of a pint, in terms of plain reality of course, there is a good deal more to be had in the draining of one. Started with the Linfit which was deliciously crisp, moved onto the Gold Medal which was exquisitely quaffable and finished any thoughts of leaving in fine style with a dark, rich stout called English Guineas. A friendly chat was had with the eccentric and enigmatic Ron Crabtree over a pint of Old Eli (rich, fruity and hoppy) accompanied with the folklore of the pub, we then put the world to rights with the locals and staggered into the night to flag a horse and carriage. A truly excellent pub. sellout_online - 2 Feb 2011 19:01 |
| Oh my, this must be in my top 1 pubs in Great Britain. The Sair is the worst kept secret in Huddersfield. Heading out towards the wilds of Marsden, there's a little left up a 45 degree hill. Where does this hill go? To the Sair, that's where! Greeted by a godawful sign comprising a cartoony pig you enter the door beneath and take a step back into an age forgotten. 4 rooms, some with fishtanks, some with idle guitars, all with dogs and logs and a rowdy local contingent of rabbit trappers and jazz musos. Don't expect luxury, find ropey alleys to the gents (with a glimpse of the conservatoire brewery!) dodgy wiring, and the ever present master of the brews, salty dog Ron Crabtree! The ales, take your pick of 8+ are all VERY local and they taste absolutely excellent. The range and quality astounds, at unbelievevably reasonable prices. Try the Leadboiler for a strong dark one. Go there. DRHartley - 4 Jul 2010 23:46 |
