Pub of the Week

they visit.

The club is integral to the community and has established as a popular venue for a drink and a friendly social visit.

Since Rob and Emma took over the club just over four years it has gone from strength to strength and was packed for the night of the presentation.

The club is a ‘home-fromhome’ for its members and visitors and caters for all.

A major refurbishment a few years ago resulted in an attractive horseshoe bar in the centre flanked by a comfortable lounge area on one side and a games area on the other, with a full-sized snooker table and plenty of space.

It has also established a good reputation for live music performances and holds a popular weekly quiz night.

The club is also a welcome ‘stopping-off’ place for people enjoying a country walk on the lanes and paths that surround the Hartshead and Roberttown areas.

The refurbishment resulted in four handpumps being installed on the bar, with emphasis on quality craft brews rather than massproduced leading brands.

The regular offerings are from Copper Dragon and Saltaire but Rob likes to stay local and take other Yorkshire brews as well.

Up to two guest ales rotate on the other pumps, carefully chosen from renowned breweries and well cared for, which was an important factor when making the awards.

The club is a supporter of the CAMRA Locale scheme which aims to support local breweries.
