The West Riding is the flagship pub of the Beerhouses family as this is where it all began in 1994 when founder, Mike Field, saw the potential in transforming a disused waiting room at Dewsbury Railway Station into a real ale pub. His inspiration was Stalybridge Buffet Bar – the railway pub at Stalybridge station where he’d spent many hours drinking in while a student.
Despite knowing nothing about running a pub, and everyone thinking that he was quite mad, the ‘West’ is still going strong, serving the locals of Dewsbury and those who pass through the station, whether they be travellers on their way somewhere or dedicated Ale Trailers (who also take in Stalybridge Buffet Bar which, poetically, is also now part of the Beerhouses family)!
Regular events include a weekly quiz night, meat raffle, monthly charity bingo, and Tuesday treats with offers changing every week.

The Latest from The West Riding
It’s our birthday and we’ll rebrand if we want to!
To celebrate 10 years as a business, we’ve undergone a bit of a visual transformation! We have a new brand and a new website, but we’re still the same Beerhouses and we still believe in ‘proper pubs’!
Bluesbury Beer Line-Up
We have 30 cask beers especially curated for Bluesbury – a weekend of Blues, Beers & Bangers. Here’s the line-up!
Bluesbury: Dewsbury’s first blues and beer festival
We’re putting the blues in Dewsbury. Bluesbury is Dewsbury’s first ever blues festival and we’re combining it with a full beer festival too.
Outside is grey and drizzly but inside the pub, there's a bit of Mexico waiting for you! If you hadn't already guessed the identity of our newest bespoke spirit, we're delighted to unveil our Beerhouses Coffee Cactus Juice!
Made with genuine agave from Mexico, this has a delicious, smooth coffee flavour but delivers a piquant punch you don't get with a coffee liqueur. This one is not just for the tequila fans - trust us! 🌵
On the bar now at all Beerhouses pubs, you can even buy it by the bottle (what a great Christmas gift!).
