About This Pub
Ah, Savile Arms, what a treat it is! From what I've gathered chatting about it, this place has really nailed that classic pub charm with a fresh twist. The staff are just top-notch; they're so friendly and attentive, it'll make you want to linger longer than planned, sharing a laugh over a pint. And the drinks? Brilliant selection without breaking the bank—perfect for us who appreciate a good ale without the hefty price tag. The newly done-up interior feels bright and inviting, and that beer garden is a lovely surprise for soaking up the sun or escaping the indoors. On the flip side, it does get lively, so you might find yourself queuing for a round if it's a busy evening, and without a website, it's a bit of a faff to get the lowdown online. Still, with such high marks from folks who've been there, it's clear this spot does more right than wrong, making it a solid choice for anyone after a genuine, down-to-earth pub experience in Dewsbury.

It can get a tad busy at times, which might mean a short wait for your drink, especially if things are hopping on a Friday night.

"If you’re looking for a pub with great atmosphere, friendly locals, and a pint that won’t break the bank, The Saville Arms is the place to be! Walk in once, and you’ll feel like a regular—walk in twice, and they’ll probably know your drink order. The staff are so welcoming they could make a scarecrow feel at home. The beer flows smoother than my dance moves after a few too many, and the banter is top-tier. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys good company, great drinks, and the occasional questionable karaoke performance!"
One of my favourite pubs! Always a good selection of beers and a brilliant vibe. Thanks to the staff for always making it a fab experience.
Nice little pub, was there last night 6th Jan. Some good real ales on, was a good pint. Nice atmosphere. Barmaid did a fantastic job, got busy a couple of times and beer was taking a little time to settle. She took it all in her stride and looked effortlessly done, having several beers and customers on the go at once. Top marks to her.
Great to see the Savile Arms re-opened and renovated. A good selection of beers which is a relief as previous landlord kept his beer really well. Great beer garden too, a real surprise as I didn't know they had one.
Welcome back! 🍻
Newly refurbished and under new management. The place is bright and welcoming with a great selection of drinks (including Brooklyn Lager on tap). The locals were friendly and the landlord was extremely welcoming. Even got a slice of lovely pork pie! A great local pub and one that we'll be visiting more frequently.
