Oz Clarke's Stomping Ground

Huddersfield Railway Station, as featured in Oz and James tour of Britain, here we have The Head of Steam in Huddersfield Railway Station.

Crossing the newly renovated square in front of the pub, you might be mistaken for being in Milan. But no. Huddersfield of all places. It's copped a fair bit of slack for the cost of the development but its prety impressive nonetheless.

Our neighbout has the luxury of hanging out here for a pint while he's waiting for his evening train home. Even now I can see a train on the platform through the window in the back of the pub. Suddenly public transport is very appealing.

Now it's spaceflowers birthday today and after a very mediocre steak at a highly rated Argentinian restaurant, its nice to get back to a nice pub and an even nicer pint. Only a half today as driving but its a cracker! Sam smiths old brewery best. Great temperature and very smooth. Spaceflower has a swift birthday port and a half of westons old Rosie scrumpy at a mind blowing 7.3%! Before singing to The Communards in the car on the way home...

Lessons learned today...

1. Never go to a top rated restaurant on trip advisor you'lll only end up disappointed.

2. Try and use public transport more, especially if it passes through huddersfield railway station.

3. Sam smiths, always a cracking pint.
