As Brits love a good pub, it remains one of the nation’s greatest traditions — whether that’s gathering for a Sunday roast or sinking a few pints at the weekend. Much like fish and chip shops, most people’s favourite tends to be their local boozer, thanks to a range of factors.
However, The Telegraph has highlighted some top spots to visit by narrowing down the country’s towns to find the best “pub towns” — and two of Yorkshire’s finest have come out on top.
The Telegraph gets it right when describing the best local pubs as “community-focused places”. Factors used to determine the top towns included affordable pints, a strong sense of tradition, and an avoidance of being overly modern.
Taking first place on the list is Halifax in West Yorkshire, home to the stunning Piece Hall. Pubs highlighted include The Cross Keys, described as a “delightful local”, as well as the Big Six Inn, praised for its magnificent traditional layout, and The Three Pigeons, regarded as one of England’s finest Art Deco pubs.
Next on the list is Huddersfield, located along the Transpennine Ale Trail. Notable mentions include The Station pub, The Head of Steam, along with The Grove and The Sportsman, which is set within a Grade II-listed interior — a harmonious combination of 1930s and 1950s design. The cherry on the cake is The Sair Inn, an atmospheric gem set in Huddersfield’s rural hinterland.
