Can't really say much more than what as been written. This pub is OK but with a little imagination, effort and probably not too much capital investment it could be a gem. Would visit again but prefer the Head of Steam at t'other end of platform.

The Head of Steam, Huddersfield
Went here after already having had a few pints and wanted some food and we were not disappointed. The beer was in good form and the home made food, especially the burgers. which I am not usually a fan of, were superb and filling.
There on a Saturday evening so quite a lot of passing trade but all were really friendly, even the football fans watching the City v United semi final.
Would well recommend, either for some food or as part of a West Yorkshire Day Rover pub crawl.

Probably one of the best pubs you will ever come across. A remarkable selection of real ales (18 when I went), plus loads or ciders and lagers on draught and an extensive selection of bottled beers and spirits.
The decoration is an eye opener! Wonder if the life-size paintings are of regulars? You will see what I mean when you go.
Brother-in-Law and I went by chance for a quick pint while the lady's were shopping. 2 � hours and 6 pints later � say no more. The lady's joined us eventually and they loved the place also.
All the beers were in top form. Glasses are oversized with a pint level so it is a true pint. No need to ask for �topping-up�.
The locals were friendly as were the bar staff. Got the impression it was managed with an iron fist and no harm in that.
This pub is 5 minutes from bus station and about 8 minutes from trains.
Get there for a truly remarkable experience.

The Labour Club (Red Shed), Wakefield
A throw back to the good old days � not the music hall � but the labour party of the 60's and 70's. Barman and locals very friendly although a bit Royston Vasey-ish. Beer spot on and extremely quaint surroundings. Considering you are entering a shed I found it surprisingly roomy � bit like the Tardis really.
Go here just for the experience. You will not be disappointed.
