| The Sair Inn is a pub I would love to have as my local. As it stands I have to cross the border into Yorkshire, which is no hardship come journeys end. The Linfit beers are, in my view, peerless. I particularly enjoy the Guineas stout, but all their beers are totally brilliant. The pub itself has a nice timeless and rustic feel, with stone flagged floors, roaring fires in the colder months and some quaint décor. There are various rooms to get oneself comfortable and sample the many delights of the bar. Also there is a great jukebox, which caters for those with a taste for classic rock. The locals and bar staff are really friendly too. Absolutely one of my all time favourite pubs, I can only award this place a big fat ten points!!! DoctorBarfly - 7 Apr 2009 21:56 |
| Walked up to the pub from my home in Slaithwaite on a fine sunny Sunday, got there just after 1.30, and found a most welcoming pub with an excellent range of cask beers and a friendly reception from barlady and customers alike. I had a wonderful pint of Old Eli to begin with, put some music on the jukebox and had a bit of a chat with one of the - presumably - regulars about the Bo Diddley song that I'd selected. He didn't know it, swapping of musical heritage ensued, and a fine time was had by all. Yes, there were a couple of dogs lounging around on the floor, as a previous correspondent has mentioned, but so what? Friendly enough beasts, not a murmur of trouble out of any of them, so no problems there. And any pub that's confident enough to have a fish tank in view of the bar is fine by me. In short, it's pubs like this that help define our country. You'd never find a place like this outside of Britain! parksidepete - 5 Apr 2009 17:18 |
| John Bonser and his one man ale tour has summed this olde worlde pub up a treat. I bought a couple of freshly shot rabbits from a local chap for the price of a pint. Had a couple of the micro brewery ale and left a happy man. Will be going again in the new year. Hopefully will get a duck next time. PaulShaneTributeAct - 25 Nov 2008 21:34 |
| The John Bonser roadshow ( or bus show in this case ) paid its long overdue first visit to this splendidly traditional 4 roomed pub on Thursday evening, 13 November. Since being voted CAMRA's National Pub of the Year in 1997, this fine pub with its own brewery attached appears to have developed almost legendary status. It regularly crops up in conversations that I have had with fellow drinkers up and down the country in recent years - yet very few people that I have spoken to have actually ever been there or have a reasonably clear idea where abouts it is. Well, its approx 3 miles from Huddersfield in a small village, reasonably easily accessible from Huddersfield ( 20 minutes bus journey ). So now you know. Apparently it overlooks the Colne valley, although on a dark November evening, I missed out on the view unfortunately. Disappointingly, on the evening of my visit, only 2 of the Linfit home brewed beers were on, Bitter and Special, both clean tasting and hoppy and at a reasonable £ 1.90p per pint. Two guest beers from Elland Brewery were also on and these seemed to be selling better than the Linfit beers. Real fires were lit in those of the rooms being occupied. The floors are stone flagged. It's a real community local, although I, as an outsider was warmly welcomed. Unfortunately, it's a dog-friendly pub and I counted at least 4 largish mutts, either lolling around, sprawling on the floor taking up room, or getting under people's feet. Was it worth the effort of visiting - yes, definitely, although I'll try next time to visit in the Summer months when it's still light in order to appreciate the views and the scenery. Finally, watch out for opening hours - it doesn't open till 5pm midweek JohnBonser - 21 Nov 2008 13:49 |
| I am happy to end speculation on the future of this pub, having just received a confident answer from Ronald that the pub is not going anywhere and certainly not being sold. lad_newton - 25 Apr 2008 16:52 |
