Stubbing Wharf

Ten minutes walk along the towpath from Hebden’s centre, the Stubbing Wharf is a thriving pub situated between the River Calder and the Rochdale Canal. Children, dogs, walkers and boaters are welcome. On sunny days you can sit on wooden benches beside the canal, gazing out over colourful narrowboats and wooded hillsides. During chillier months a real fire keeps the olde worlde interior cosy. The wood panelled ceiling, mismatched wooden tables and simple red/cream décor create a homely feel. There’s a good range of guest ales and probably the finest selection of ciders in town.
