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.
