| The Shepherd’s Boy is a large, traditional, roadside pub about two thirds of a mile from the town centre. It is one of ten pubs owned by Ossett Brewery. Originally with four rooms, it has been sympathetically opened up into three drinking areas, two of which have wood burning stoves. There is an interesting bottle collection lining the walls. Most Ossett pubs have eight real ales and there was a full range on this visit: ‘Excelsior’, ‘Silver King’, ‘Pale Gold’, ‘Shepherd’s Boy Bitter’ all from the Ossett brewery itself. Plus Timothy Taylor’s ‘Landlord’, Fernandes ‘Brewer’s Gold’, Oakham ‘Raucous Reindeer’ and Nethergate ‘Old Growler’. The ‘Old Growler’ was a satisfying and warming porter, perfect for a freezing cold day. Very fresh and well served. The landlady was welcoming and friendly. She was more than happy to talk me through the beers. I called on Sunday lunchtime and found it surprisingly quiet, but put that down to the pre-Christmas shopping rush, in town. Special mention must be made of the free bread and dripping, black pudding, pork pie and scotch eggs available on platters, at the bar . A nice touch. As was having four pint takeaway containers for the beers. I wish more pubs had this facility. When you consider The West Riding Licensed Refreshment Rooms is also only a few minutes away, Dewsbury is very well served for quality real ale outlets. Highly recommended. aleandhearty - 21 Dec 2007 14:50 |
