The Shoulder of Mutton at nearby Mytholmroyd is decent.
Apparently it's reopened but as a cafe rather than as a pub.
Do you have a reference for this ?
In fairness, it was always a cafe as well as a pub from the day it opened more than ten years ago. They served teas, coffees and bacon butties to commuters from early in the morning - and for a while had a trolley on the Down (Leeds-bound) platform in the morning peak - before becoming a pub (but still serving tea, coffee and cake) later in the day. It closed during lockdown, then reopened as a morning takeaway cafe only for a few months before closing again. As far as I'm aware - unless there have been new developments since I transferred to Italy three weeks ago - it is still closed....and likely to remain so for the forseeable future. Luckily there are several other excellent pubs in Sowerby Bridge within a 5-10 minute walk from the station.Apparently it's reopened but as a cafe rather than as a pub.
Jubilee Refreshment Rooms, Sowerby Bridge
Reopened in November 2022, initially as a café. PLEASE NOTE : ALCHOL NOT CURRENTLY SERVED. They will not open during the local school holidays. It took twelve years of patient negotiation for the Wright brothers to change the use of the...whatpub.com
Cardiff Central? Glasgow Queen Street? Perth? Aberdeen? Plymouth?....and Bristol Temple Meads now that Brunel's Bar has closed.
Looks like All Bar One could be moving into the large empty unit above M&S at Glasgow Central. Was going to be Wetherspoons at one time a few years back. If it had happened JDW would have no less than six outlets within a 10min or less walk.
I was there last week and found Wetherspoons' very impressive Imperial pub to be just a five minute walk up the hill.
But still not on the station.
It seems a shame to spoil such a lovely space by putting a mezzanine floor in there.
For it to be any good they need to boot out the current operator and get a local pub/brewing company to run it! You can refurbish something all you like. If the end result is the continued sale of cooking lagers and smooth flow you may as well open a toilet!
Imagine there's no Spooooooons

I would say get out more but if weathers is your treat try staying in!
Good Lord it’s what gets me out and about more than anything from Wick to Penzance and across the Irish Sea

I would rather stick pins in my eyes. Horrible places. I despise the Brexit balloon of an owner and he won't have a penny of my money.
I'm sure there's something about their beer pythons. Every wWetherspoons I've ever been in serves the cask ale consistently far to cold.
when I used to go in a Spoons I found the ale quality variable. If you got a manager with pub experience the ale was decent. If not they treated everything like super chilled cooking lager
if you are at a station pub you have to be able to see the trains surely!
The fashion nowadays is to be able to see the ale barrels whilst at a station pub.
