The Commercial, Slaithwaite was the deserved winner of the Huddersfield CAMRA Spring Pub of the Season 2012 award. Since reopening as a real ale house 3 years ago, the Commercial has sold consistently good beer and cider. It offers keenly priced house mild & bitter brewed by the local Empire brewery, a good range of guest beers and a real cider.
