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.

    Ordered a large mixed grill at the bar, and specifically asked for the steak on the mixed grill to be cooked medium rare- when it arrived, the steak was cooked as well done as it could be and resembled leather rather than steak!! Upon complaining to the manager at the bar, I was then told that the steak was “too thin” to cook medium rare…..however, my fiance had exactly the same meal as me, and her steak was cooked medium rare as requested, proving it was possible to follow requests of customers with cooking instructions- so if the kitchen had redone the steak, or used a piece of steak that was apt for cooking medium rare like with my Fiance’s, there would have been no issue!! Avoid this place for food!! Terrible service after specifically requesting my choice of how I would like the steak cooked! Me and my family will not be returning here ever again!!

    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

    My wife and I eat breakfasts out regularly. Percy Shaws was our place to go, now gone! We change between Barum Top Halifax and Richard Oastler Brighouse. The staff at R O are outstanding. I don't see all the staff because of shift changes. But on the breakfast shift Steph and Jordan are so good. Nothing is too much trouble. A word to the wise at Barum Top. I have a preference for porridge. Getting a decently made bowl at BT is a bit like Russian roulette. I mentioned it to the duty manager, she said "you win some you lose some"! You might agree, it's not the correct response to a complaining customer?.

    This place the building itself is one to admire the outside architecture plus inside has amazing features I think what spoons has done with this place is amazing no future added design kept it all with its historic design plus amazing ceiling painting s plus the organ features really makes the place look good.This place is a really good meeting place the service at the bar or on the spoons app so during the week it’s full of oaps plus benefits British but who can blame them for the price cheap has chips to sit down plus drink or even have a meal .The food I have eaten at this place a few times some times the food can be really good or some times just average but you can’t fault the staff the prices are really good for what ya get but the toilets depending on time or day can be a let down but I guess you can’t blame the staff for the cliental not being able to put toilet paper in the right area . The staff have been very pleasant over the years it’s never the same but always polite . The seating is very open but they have a snug at the back which is just mint
