Shepherds Rest in Calderdale - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Cracking hour or two in the shepherds rest today for the Ruchbearing parade. Proper packed out but brilliant atmosphere and great to see it doing well.

Cracking selection of beers and lively atmosphere

Good selection of beers. Nice interior (plus beer garden) and excellent service.

Local and would recommend brilliant pub 👌

Pleasant pub, decent choice of beer. Open fire in winter

Expensive prices, the night we went it was cold. Open fire was almost out at 8.30pm. Not a great lover of open mike night.

I was told about this place when I stayed at the old post-office in Halifax, its a 10 min taxi ride costing 7.00 I found it to be out of the way, it was quiet and peaceful, usual bar drinks however I found it to be priced a little more than I thought over 4.00 for a pint, it has a nostalgic feel and this is quite obvious when you see 20/30s pictures, there is a shelf of pictures previous owners of which I found to be a nice touch, it has a larger seating are to the rear, for those sunny days (when ever that happens ) I would definitely say a yea old pub, I arrived on a Wed and was greeted by staff member who was polite and any question I had, he was more than happy to answer them. A nice night out .

First time visiting under new ownership. Great atmosphere, and the real ales were spot on!

One of my favourite pubs in town. Great team & Atmosphere

Great pub with friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere

Called in for a drink yesterday ( 7th Jul) And first time in under new management. Unless the man behind the bar with the beard finds some manners, will not be going back. No greeting, no smile, no please or thank you. No nothing. All he said was the price. So rude. That itself contributed to the lack of atmosphere. Good beers on sale though. Could be a nice place if it had half decent staff. Really poor all round and disappointing.

Traditional pub serving half a dozen casks and the usual drafts. More of a local type pub but OK. Give it a try if you're passing. Decent ale, pool table it's just OK.

New hands, and still the best the best pub in Sowerby Bridge.

Great atmosphere, great pub, the new owners and staff are awesome

It is always a pleasure to visit one of Ossett Breweries Pubs. Clean and pleasant surroundings with friendly staff and of course a good selection of traditional beers. And my pork pie was heated up for me.

Great pub with good selection of beers

Come here often. Always an excellent carvery and great value. Large car park but parking can be crowded. John

Old fashioned local with great beer. Barman appeared to think I was disturbing his chat with his friends.

Good friendly local, the Ossett Blonde was the best I've tasted.

Very nice local pub with great staff and selection of ales at good prices

Lovely pub, very nice atmosphere!

Cracking pint, lovely bar staff, nice atmosphere. Honey roasted peanuts were 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼😂

A good 'backstreet' boozer (on the main road). 3 beers on as we withdraw from C19.

Rude staff and owners. Used to be a lovely pub. Avoid.

Great pub, nice selection of beers and been very accommodating over the years when we’ve visited. Doesn’t seem that way anymore, the person who I assume is the manager, (kinda looks like Mini Ming the Merciless) was very rude even to the point of being aggressive to our group for no good reason. My advice would be to not move any chairs or heavin forbid move the dog bowl an inch. Will go elsewhere in future.

Expensive beer, service little slow, but nice pub..

Really friendly. Showing the darts, I am now a new darts fan. Also, SALT brewery. Buy 4 pints get one free

First time in this place ale spot on I'll be back

Nice local pub, with a great atmosphere 👌

Good pub got some good beer's on

Went to listen to some friends on an acoustics night. Great entertainment & atmosphere. Sells cask ales

Excellent pub, we, including our dog poppy love this place. Staff always make you feel at home and special, pops loves them all! Best pub in Sowerby B.

Excellent table service from the staff. First time I've been to this pub, but it won't be last!

Great pub ... friendly manager and good staff

Very rewarding after very wet training session

Good atmosphere and great selection of beers

Good old fashioned pub, banter with the landlord and barmaids and made to feel welcome with the locals x

Good pub if you like your "real ale". If you are not a CAMRA buff its not for you. Cider was a bit ropey in my opinion.

Great beer and nice chilled atmosphere

i like this place good real ale pub with good friendly bar staff that does a good pint of carling (for the non ale sniffers) however the locals stare at you when you walk in as if you are walking into their front room --a local pub for local people ?? -strange

Proper trad local pub. No food just a great ale selection.

Descent public house, good real ale, knowledgeable landlord

Nice pub with friendly staff Great choice of ales and well kept

Rammed with a charity fundraiser. Obviously a popular local!

Excellent place, lovely cheap beer

Decent proper bar serving ales and lagers, not a wine bar but a drinking pub

Ok, bit dull inside but friendly people it was very quiet

At the top of a steep hill but very welcoming when u get in

Decent local. Nice ale selection.

Great choice of real ales and lagers. Dog and child friendly cosy pub

'mezzin. Proper pub with proper beer and proper friendly staff and customers.

Awful service combined with a terrible attitude. Stay well clear

No frills real ale local pub. Osset brewery beers and guests. Friendly crowd. A little gem.

Grand pub, part of Ossett's pub estate and very friendly with nice range of beers.

Great local and fantatic service. Not many left of this quality.

Excellent range of beers and superbly kept. Pub itself feels a little barren and could do with a touch of love. Cracking beers though.

Well run, friendly. Very local. Great beer.

OK for a quick drink on our pub crawl.

Great pub with warm atmosphere and good beer

Friendly pub with a good atmosphere. Lots of traditional ales and proper pork pies. Garden with plenty of seating and so peaceful. Sports is available and weekly quiz
