The Finest Pubs in the Huddersfield Area
|
|
The Cop Hill pub that had been such a favourite venue for many years had become a bit tired and tatty of late. Now that's all changed! Steve Kerr and his family who took over the reins a couple of years ago have already breathed new life back in to the place. There has already been a full refurbishment of the bars and restaurant, with the inclusion of a new kitchen. One thing that hasn’t changed is the view, on a good clear day it is still amazing. |

In
the past when Blackmoorfoot Road was the Turnpike through Marsden to
Manchester the Sands House served as a local pub for the men that
hewed the stone in the nearby quarries, stone that was used to build
the local mills and the grand homes of those who owned them. Today
it stands as an example to the large Pub Enterprises of how a small
local can be “modernised” without turning it into a characterless,
cavernous drinking hall.

THE WOODMAN INN, THUNDERBRIDGE, KIRKBURTON. Down Dam Hill, past Shuttering Row, alongside the beck and the old corn mill race to the bridge, no sign of thunder, just the tranquil hamlet of handsome houses and cottages. Nestling in this cleft between the surrounding woodland stands The Woodman Inn, a focus for the surrounding villages for the past 2 hundred years. This is a peaceful place, just to sit outside and enjoy a drink of your choice surrounded by the sounds of the passing stream, the birds in the stands of trees and perhaps enjoy one of the superb bar snacks on offer. If you require finer fare the Woodman today has an excellent restaurant with a full a la carte menu. The wonderfully prepared food is complimented by a comprehensively stocked wine cellar.
Should you wish to extend your stay
in this sybaritic haven some of the adjoining weavers cottages have
been converted into guest accommodation but demand is high and early
booking is advised. |
