    I could check Google before writing this but I’m pretty sure Magic Rock opened a tap room there that everyone speaks highly of

    There used to be a pub called The Farmers Arms which used to do meals. A group of us used to go up on a Friday night every two or three months, sit in a corner and sing. Sometimes a few local musicians from the Holmfirth area would accompany us. Our Christmas shenanigans were particularly popular. We rarely had to buy a drink. Usually, we finished with 'Pratty Flowers', especially at Christmas time even though it's not a carol.
    It's over thirty years since I was up there, so the pub may no longer exist.

    Anyone eaten at the Pickled Pheasant at Holmbridge?

    Thinking of going for my 50th in September as the reviews all look very good.

    Magic Rock Brewery have a lovely place in Holmfirth.

    Also a nice place for food and drink is Harvey’s Bar/Kitchen.

    I haven't been in but it looks a nice place and always seems busy. Have you considered the Fleece at Holme?
    It's only another mile or two away and the food is very good.
