Only stumbled across the corner cask place in town yesterday (been under the beer radar for a while). And what a place! Hope it gets the support in town to keep going!

Also noticed you can take your own food in as long as your drinking there

Spent yesterday afternoon in and around Holmfirth and as you would expect, that included a couple of drinks;

Visited the Rose & Crown, more popularly known as The Nook and home of the Nook Brewhouse, and tried their Best Bitter 4.2%.

Later, visited the Farmers Arms and had a very nice Sunday Lunch complete with a pint of Abbot Ale.

Also visited the Nook yesterday and sampled the delicious Oat Stout and the moreish Cherry Choco Stout. Hmmm!

Obviously, I concur with those sentiments. The first couple of weekends we went in people would look in (as if to say 'what's that, I didn't know that was there') but then walk on ... the last couple of weekends people are thankfully venturing in. They are currently in the process of getting upstairs completed too so there will be even more seating.

Yes, it is all very well being bohemian and having a 'work in progress, so please make allowances' approach.
But it's not that attractive to a lot of folk, decor-wise.

And a coffin in the window might put a few people off. CAMRA members get a money off discount on real ales.

One pint per week and the discount more than pays for CAMRA membership.
