Brighouse Pubs

Richard Oastler

This Wetherspoon pub is an interesting conversion of a Methodist chapel built in 1878. In Autumn 2014 the pub was extended into a later chapel annex not previously occupied by the pub. This room is available for private functions. The main bar area is lit by two chandeliers hanging from an intriguingly decorated ceiling. Organ pipes, pews and even hymn book numbers can still be seen on the upper floor which is not open to the public.

    I came in at 10:15pm on Tuesday the 14/07/2026 and experienced the amazing customer service from a brunette girl named caitlin (not sure how to spell her name) I was in a difficult situation and she dropped everything to help me and look out for me. What an amazing girl with an amazing vibe hope to see her here more often she’s an absolute asset to this pub not seen staff to her standard in here for a very long time ❤️ Hope her manager sees this.

    Wow what can I say. The staff serving are fantastic. They never stop! June in particular is always welcoming and friendly. She works incredibly hard and makes sure any food orders are met with understanding and full knowledge ie- food allergies. Thankyou so much! The food is basic but you get what you pay for. I wish there was more choice for GF. The toilets located in a hallway. They have a carpet that smells very unclean.

    Like a lot of places Wetherspoons have their own business plan that doesn't suit everyone. If you want a pleasant meal and a modestly priced drink then this is the place for you Other hostelries are available

    Great pub in original church setting. The staff were friendly. It wasn't too busy or noisy. Good facilities. Great prices. We really enjoyed it. Thank you.

    Visited for a breakfast before setting off for a weekend away. Poor start to the weekend, thankfully the weekend did get better from there. The large breakfast was just about ok, despite the long wait. The pancakes and bacon were dreadful. Does the chef not want to be a chef? Would have sent them back but was out of time. As always with Weatherspoons, the drinks are great, a large selection at great prices. The pub itself is great, always clean, and a good atmosphere.
