[Courier]

Not strictly an agricultural post but certainly a popular venue with farming groups …

Popular Huddersfield village pub and restaurant seriously damaged in major fire

The Huddersfield village gastropub went up in flames on Boxing Day evening

Not too far from the old homestead. Can't say I could afford to be a regular though.
Hope no-one was hurt.

In the “Good old days” (sic) I was part of a group of 20+ Yorkshire / Lancashire direct selling dairy farmers who amongst other aims were able to negotiate a truly significant bulk buying discount on dairy cake - one of the stipulations however was that each farm which signed up to that deal took a minimum quantity and the successful feed company paid for 2 a la carte meals per farm at what would be nowadays known as a “gastropub”.
The Three Acres was one of those, that was the first time I had ever seen a bowl of mussels starter in white wine served at a table to the secretary of the group

I think we still have the Paul's umbrella from that contract.

It has been a restaurant for some 40 years rather than a pub.

More of a general quote than the establishment in question .

They just seem to be out of reach of the average bod ....

Another one, 2 miles away, closed 20 years ago and became a curry house.
Shame about the stinking dairy farm behind it.
