The Boathouse Inn, Saltaire

Ignore any reviews written before 2009, this place has been totally refurbished since then!

The best part about The Boathouse is definitely it's location, especially in the summer time. Decent range of lagers, not as many real ales as some people would like though, doesn't bother me as i'm a lager drinker.

Food is pretty good here, eaten here a few times in the past 6 months, usually on a Sunday, reasonably priced, and the waiting staff are lovely.

only thing is it's a bit pricey, wouldn't recommend a session here unless you've deep pockets

Fanny's Ale And Cider House, Saltaire

Middle class? I guess that depends which "class" you consider yourself.

Having lived in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Saltaire, I haven't found a pub better than Fanny's, and I wouldn't call myself a real ale drinker! The pub itself is small, but it only gets really busy on Friday evenings with people coming in after work, or in the summer when the pavement can get pretty crammed.

I think the staff are excellent, considering how much space there is to work with behind the bar, and how often customers can be.. "particular" about how their pints look/taste/smell/cost.

Also, it's probably the cheapest pub in Saltaire!
