Royal Oak Inn
The existing structure, colloquially known as t'Barracks, is believed to have been constructed in the 1930s. This historic building serves as the starting point for the village's renowned coal carrying race, an event that attracts many visitors. The establishment is also a popular destination for food lovers, offering a variety of meal deals that are detailed on the pub's website. The pub frequently features beers from the Leeds Brewery and Partners, both of which are located nearby. This provides patrons with the opportunity to sample local brews and support regional businesses. Additionally, the pub offers a loyalty program in the form of a collecting card. As customers accumulate points on this card, they can eventually earn a free pint, adding an extra incentive for frequent visits. The pub's location also offers a unique advantage, as it is situated within viewing distance of the Dewsbury Rams Rugby League ground. This proximity to the sports venue makes it an ideal spot for fans to gather before or after games, further enhancing its appeal as a community hub.
