Catching up now with my visits from mid-January when I walked to Morley to investigate the pub arrangements there. This pub is situated in a little collection of mostly micro-pubs and it was worth the relatively lengthy meander from the hotel to visit.
The cask options. There was a friendly atmosphere when I entered, even though I nearly knocked the staff member out when opening the door, but that’s a different story.
The keg options and for the relatively small size of the venue, there was plenty of choice.
The interior of the pub and I was fortunate to get a seat, it was the only table that was free. It’s got plenty of atmosphere and it was all rather refined and welcoming.
Some of the past beers and it’s clear they’ve gone through a fair few over the years.
The beer fridge and it’s always good to see some variety in can and bottle form.
My first half pint was the Morocco Ale from Daleside Brewery, a spiced quite punchy beer with plenty of flavour.
My second half pint was the Westend IPA from Ilkley Brewery Co, which was slightly piney, dank and interesting.
The venue is well reviewed online and it’s this mix of on-trend micro-pub alongside a traditional interior. It’s been used as a micro-pub since 2021 having previously been left effectively derelict for around fifteen years. It’s a marvellous example of how a building can be brought back into use and it seemed like a very competently run micro-pub.
