The Shepherds Arms Horbury in Dewsbury

Ah, The Shepherds Arms – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem in Horbury, you know? From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the food is where it really shines; think hearty, massive portions of amazing roasts and belly pork that's tasty as anything, all at prices that won't leave you feeling short-changed. I reckon it's ideal for a Sunday lunch or a casual evening out, with that cozy atmosphere making it easy to settle in for a chat. The staff are generally lovely and helpful, adding to the friendly vibe, and once you've placed your order, the grub comes out pretty sharpish. On the flip side, though, it can be a tad frustrating waiting to get served, as they sometimes look a bit stretched with just one person handling the floor – but hey, that's not uncommon in smaller spots, and it hasn't stopped folks from raving about the place overall. If you're popping by, I'd say go for the specials and maybe time it right to avoid the rush; it's a solid choice for good times without the fuss, and with a solid 4.4 rating, it's clear most people leave with a smile.
