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.

    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.

    Surprisingly nice interior, which was originally a Church. High ceiling, look up to see the Church organ pipes and pews. Unlimited refills available on hot drinks. Constant ale and beer variations available, particularly during regular events. Staff are cheery and quick to serve and great table service. Outside seating available during the summer. Food prices are great!

    Wetherspoons. It is what it is. Predictable menu wherever you go. Fabulous building and interior though. Lovely young man who served us. Pleasant and patient given that it was absolutely rammed on a Friday lunchtime. Good choice for a meal at a decent meal at a fair price.

    Me and the wife thought we would save on the washing up and cooking and pop out to our local spoons in brighouse. You know what to expect when you enter a weatherspoons, reasonable food at affordable prices and a great selection of drinks. We settled on a mixed grill and a tuna Panini with some extra onion rings and a couple of pints of Budweiser. The food came in under 15 minutes and was cooked well and tasted good. There were a few rowdy people in there who looked and sounded like they had been there all day but I found it more amusing than annoying. It wasn't the cleanest with quite a few tables with empty plates and glasses but eventually they were tidied up. Overall we will obviously go back as we got exactly what we expected. Good drinks and good food for the little we spent

    Typical of the brand. A historic building crammed with customers enjoying a range of seriously cheap beers. Can't fault it but subtle and relaxing it ain't!
