Shibden Mill Inn, Halifaxback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Real ale lovers who appreciate this excellent pub 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.

MA Food Pub of the Year.

I agree with the earlier favourable comments but would recommend quieter times especially in the summer months. The pub attracts its fair share of showoffs on Fridays and Saturdays, who can detract from otherwise excellent surroundings and beers.

This truly a gem of a pub in the relative real ale desert of Halifax. Three resident real ales with another three guest beers normally available. Great staff, outstanding food and really friendly locals. I'd agree with the comments previously regarding the specially produced Shibden Mill Ale from Moorhouses, an excellent ale.

A nice pub tucked away, but worth the effort of finding. Food is good, beer is even better. I recommend the Moorhouses "Shibden Mill Bitter". This place still has some soul, with locals frequenting, and a slow turnover of staff - a rare thing these days.

this pub is very bourgois in the nicest sense.Plush clean and comfortable.An excellent selection of real ales including one brewed for them only.It is more of an eating place though with an extensive menu and has a good local reputation for food.It is a bit pricey as you might expect but well worth a visit.Transport is essential as it is in the middle of nowhere.Just beware that the dining area has an unprotected step down to the bar and it you are not careful you will fall down if-like I did
