Been recently a couple o times in the cask (real ale ) side & meh not overly wowed on any metric. Last time I elected to leave my cloudy dubious ale & go to the Sportsman to drink my unit... Much better 🙂

Came here to meet my daughter off the train before a town game on a Tuesday night. There seems to be two bars, one focused on cask ales, the other on keg/craft. Amazing range of cask and keg beers. There is also a Pie Minister menu but I didn't try it, as had limited time. We both had a couple of pints here. There was a choice of around 10 keg beers and 12 cask. It was fairly quiet, but still a nice friendly atmosphere. Will definitely be back.

We come here quite often when travelling to and from huddersfield by train. The pies by Pieminster are outstanding, I have had the Mooless Moo, Heidi and Kevin, they're all absolutely delicious. I don't like how on a weekend it's served in a box though so weekends we just tend to pop in for a pint rather than eat. Always a friendly atmosphere with both travellers and locals. It's quiet during the week and does get livelier at weekends. We like to sit in the back where it's cozy and has candles on the tables.

We had a great stop here on our booze cruise from Leeds to Huddersfield and back. The Head of Steam has been a favourite of mine since my student days at Huddersfield University from 2006 to 2010 and it hasn't changed for the worse. Great selection of ales and ciders, lovely atmosphere, kind and knowledgeable staff who are happy to have a chat, great decoration all over and just overally cozy and lovely. The patrons are typical Yorkshire lads and lasses and you usually find someone to have a chat with. The only thing that sucks, but more for the owners and staff then the patrons is, that the direct access from the platform is no longer available.

1st port of call on my visit to Huddersfield. A very friendly welcome was received by me. It was pretty quite on this Saturday lunchtime, which meant no queues at the bar 😊. My Camerons - Road Crew was bang on form. This place is 5 mins walk from the bus station and 5 seconds walk from the train station!! I will definatly visit again. Check out the "Untapped" app for up to date info about ales available. 👍🍻

I had to check out who has given 1 star as I’m so appreciative of any pub with such an amazing selection of beer (especially of the Belgian variety which is so hard to come by.. and on tap!!), anyway, someone has wrote “full of drunk people waiting for the train home”. Well that says it all. Hello… people have been working hard and just want a pint. Personally I ended up here after being pissed about by Northern Rail which turned a 32 min round trip into 3h 20m, so you can imagine my delight to come across this little oasis, where I can enjoy a beautiful beer in the sun, whilst waiting for my bloody replacement bus service. Thanks Head of Steam, and to the gentleman behind the bar who seemed as interested in beer as me. Wonderful.

Called here for some beers before going for food, they have quite a good selection of real ales but was really disappointed with the barman and his service. There was 4 of us all choosing different ales (we order half's so we can try different ones) so ordered 8 halves some of us had the same ones but one of the beers was off, now we drink enough of the stuff to know a bad beer. He had it the week before so knew it didn't taste or smell right. But when he took it back to the bar the guy told him it was fine and he would have to buy a different one if he didn't want it. Sorry but that is really poor customer service. Think we might avoid this pub in the future.

Argyle playing "The Terriers" today! Nearly 7hrs after setting off from Devon, I have arrived!! Right alongside the railway station is this impressive pub. Met with the Midlands cronies and had a few jugs. Had a real ale called "Legover" which was excellent. Good speedy bar staff as it was busy. 1400 fans again today. Trouble is these pubs don't cater for the avalanche of fans and consequently within the hour they were down to 2 ales from the original 12 !! They really need to do their research because they are dipping out massively financially by not planning in advance.....Nice pub though with fans from both teams enjoying the camaraderie....

Lunchtime at the Head of Steam was quieter than I thought it would on a Tuesday. So the atmosphere was quiet. Which might be what you are looking for. It's right on the railway station with taxis and buses but pay parking at the bus station so no excuse about difficult or inconvenient to get to. It's a proper pub, pub. With plenty of real beer choice. It's good well kept beer too. We had the pieminister offer of food which was home made, good value, tasty and filling. Excellent for a cold December day. The real test is would I go again? Yes. The second test is why have I not been in a while? I don't know. Must go again, soon.

I went into the head of steam today for a pint with my puppy while I waited for my train. I got my pint and the man behind the bar gave me some water for my puppy which was absolutely lovely! I went outside and there was a very drunken man who was talking to himself who had just been inside the head of steam who sat next to me and was speaking to me incoherently, making me uncomfortable, the staff came over before I knew what was what and they asked him to leave and to let me enjoy my pint. After a while I told the bar staff he was okay and they left me too it, reminding me to "please give them a shout if he bothered me at all". After a while I was a bit fed up of listening to his drunken nonsense so I got up and went back inside and a staff member showed me to another outside seating area and brought me another dog water bowl. I just want to say that the staff here are absolutely incredible! I am so grateful to them being so vigilant and attentive. Really, really nice guys.

Wide selection of beers and resonable prices. Good service . The pies are very good but are spolit by being presented in a tight fitting cardboard box. Once upon a time they had plates and knives and forks. and once upon I time I would have given them 5 stars. The pub feels a little neglected by the H of S chain though its in better condition than the one next to Leeds Station which looks ready for closedown or sell off.

Usually a cracking pub. Unreal selection of ales and lagers. Staff always friendly and efficient. Like most people I am just a transient from one town to another and come in here for a decent pint before the train home. It would appear that this evening the pub has been taken over by a load of self centred beered up people think it is acceptable to ruin some brilliant songs with their monotone and flat signing and mediocre playing of their instruments. Their very important rucksacks and clearly extremely expensive instruments took pride of place on chairs that were not being used by intended users. Finally as I tried to leave the new ‘owners’ of this pub even though asked politely wouldn’t move away from the door. Incidentally this is a fire door. So I eventually barged my way through and advised these weekend millionaires that they were blocking a fire exit. I’m assuming they are still sat there. I just hope there isn’t a fire…..
