The Cricketers Beerhouse, Horbury, Bar

The Cricketers is the only Beerhouse pub located in a village and not a town centre, set in the charming surroundings of Horbury in Wakefield. Family and dog friendly, we have a real fire roaring in the grate in the winter and a covered beer garden for the summer.

Originally built in 1898 in an Arts & Crafts style, it still retains many original features, including the distinctive wooden bar and beautiful stained glass windows. You may even have seen The Cricketers on TV as it was used as a filming location in Sky movie Tinsel Town, starring Kiefer Sutherland and Rebel Wilson!

As you would expect from a Beerhouses pub, we have an excellent range of rotating cask ales on the bar and have consistently appeared in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide since 2012 as well as won numerous awards.

Abbeydale Brewery Celebrating 30 years! Lunar Moonshine’s classic combination of willamette, citrus and centennial and added new Australian Luna hops for a boost of extra citrus, stone fruit and tasty tropical notes.

Still beautifully balanced with a delicious subtle bitterness, and shining as brightly as it was in 1996. Luna hops bring additional mango, passionfruit, blackberry, blackcurrant, orange, and grapefruit. It is a third generation of the American hop Liberty mixed with high alpha Australian lineage.

We’ve got two casks! So got to be quick
