Real ale lovers who appreciate the excellent Red Rooster will also be pleased to learn that the Brighouse Real Ale Trail now has a new member.
It is the Pear Tree Inn at nearby Norwood Green. Typically it has very well-kept standards such as Teltey's and Timothy Taylor's landlord, but also charming guests such as Castle Rock Harvest Pale, Hobgoblin and so on.
The pub has been tastefully redecorated in much lighter, airier style, and features fresh-cut flowers along with a now-delightful beer garden.
The atmosphere is intended for the genial and well-mannered, and I cannot commend the staff highly enough for doing what is needed to preserve that.

Formerly a Websters pub, but now offering a wide range of hand pulled ales. It was quiet this evening, but I had a good pint of Mallinson's Galaxy from Huddersfield.
It's a solid stone stand alone building, and the plaster's been removed over much of the interior to pleasing effect, showing the restfully coloured and textured stonework. The floor's flagged. There's a variety of comfy seating and tables, and people chat rather than shout, as is sadly all too common elsewhere in this neck of the woods. There's also a pleasant decked area overlooking the road.
The pub adjoins a light industrial area to one side, residential to the other, beside a small river, or rather a beck, I suppose, where the many fish were jumping for flies in the twilight. There's a fair amount of parking space.
If you're driving, don't try to turn right leaving: the traffic coming down the hill and round the sharp bend could be anything, and at any speed.
All in all, it's an excellent pub: 9/10

Bit of a trek from the station and the town centre but well worth it. I had a pint of some kind of stout that was lovely. Pretty quiet early on a Saturday afternoon but I would return if I ever go back to Brighouse.

Deservedly very popular with real ale drinkers -mainly "mature" males. Stone floors and easily the best pub for miles for choice of hand-pulled beers.
|
A stunning pub - now been redecorrated. Brilliant choice of real ales - friendly atmosphere - hard working staff. I'd turn the TV off though.

Great small pub. Taylors & Moorhouses on good form. I had a lovely pint of Marble's Pint here too.
Good pie & peas also.
|
Always visit when in Brighouse, great ales a a very clean environment.

Had heard good things about this place so popped in on the way to the Rugby League Test Match in Huddersfield. 8 real ales and both that were sampled were in excellent condition. Pub is kept clean and tidy and has an interesting collection of signed prints on offer. Will definitely go back.

Nice pint of Taylor,s Havercake.Bit pricey at �3.65 for pint and small fruit juice.
|
Superb pub for the connoisseur of real ales. A bit smoky for a reformed non-smoker and I wonder what will happen when smoking's banned? First went there years ago and now pay a visit but once a year with an old schoolfriend. All the beers are in superb condition and, with no 'music' to spoil the enjoyment of one's pint, the Rooster is priceless! Roll on the next trip 'Oop North'!

Love this pub, being going here since I was legal and was a bikers pub.
|
Anywhere that permanently has Rooster beers will always get good marks from me. With 8 real ales on, the choice is fantastic, and it's always top quality. It's a nice pub too, best in (well actually slightly out of) Brighouse by a country mile.

Try the waterloo sunset cider, when it's on.
