Renowned for locally sourced home-cooked food, it offers four cask ales. Live music events are held on the first Saturday of each summer month, with camping possible behind the pub. There is a Sunday quiz night and a monthly 'doggo of the month' features on Facebook. Situated close to the Peak District and the Pennines, there are stunning views. A welcome stop for families, walkers and their dogs, and a previous Huddersfield CAMRA Rural Pub of the Year. It featured as a location in series two of Happy Valley.

Historic Interest

In 1852 William, son of Nathaniel, took over the Spotted Cow and it gradually became known as Wills o’Nats.
