Real ale lovers who appreciate the Ship will also be pleased to learn that the Brighouse Real Ale Trail now has a new member.
It is the Pear Tree Inn at nearby Norwood Green. Typically it has very well-kept standards such as Teltey's and Timothy Taylor's landlord, but also charming guests such as Castle Rock Harvest Pale, Hobgoblin and so on.
The pub has been tastefully redecorated in much lighter, airier style, and features fresh-cut flowers along with a now-delightful beer garden.
The atmosphere is intended for the genial and well-mannered, and I cannot commend the staff highly enough for doing what is needed to preserve that.

Great for a couple of pints before your very hard to beat curry, at Hussain's round the corner, which is one of the best in the land (and I'm well travelled in that vein). A la carte or buffet. The pub's own food is well above average too.
Excellent selection of real ales, friendly staff and customers, pleasantly lived-in, characterful building.

Bit tatty inside but does that really matter? I didn't eat there but the food prices looked very good value. Black Horse's Old Ship ale at 5.5% and �2.90 was good and brewed especially for the pub I was told. I was offered a taster without asking, which I think is a sign of good service.

Truly first-rate establishment. The staff have a sensitivity to what's good in food, drink and atmosphere that's a real privilege from which to benefit. Understandably, in turn the pub attracts customers who appreciate these things, so your chances of striking up a genuinely interesting and informative conversation are better here than anywhere else locally, I'd say. Substantial, traditional structure in an old building, with some tasteful modern touches.

Bit chilly on a cold February day as the heating had bust, but the welcome was warm and the locals friendly. A good selection of well kept beers, most of which were micro-breweries I hadn't encountered before, from Rossendale and Wigan. Food was hearty stuff reasonably priced and the young bar lady very pleasant and knowledgable about the beer.

Superb pub. If you only go to one pub in Brighouse this has got to be it. Six or seven local real ales changing regularly. Friendly bar staff who make you feel like it's your local. No loud music or gimmicks, just a lovely atmosphere and really good beer. Come in here with a gang of mates for a night out or on your own with a paper. Mixed age group too so never too young or too old. Perfecf.

Excellent pub. Just visited its annual beer fest and I think I'll be back next year. 48 beers all at �2.20.

Fine pub, really good food. Excellent choice of well kept real ales. No Sky tv.
|
Not a bad pub! Plenty of drinks to choose from, 4 real ales and various ciders. Was a bit disappointed I hadn't seen the Thatchers Gold on! Quite a popular place and very tidy. Shame the place has seen the original interior taken out
|
Brilliant Ale House. It is nice to see that the new owners are making an effort to promote real ale. Well worth a visit.
|
Also has a TV and Sky sports, cask ales usually include some from local breweries (Eastwood / Copper Dragon)

What a transformation! When I lived in Brighouse this was the Prince of Wales and was such a dive. Fascia built with timbers from a sunken 19th Cent sailing ship. Now tastefully renovated & refurbed with when I last visited four cask ales on. Food also available.
Sadly though seems to be struggling against the cheap prices at the Richard Oastler Wetherspoon's on the same street. here's hoping the Brighouse ale drinkers give it some support.
