Socialising in Penistone
Our area has a variety of clubs, sports, societies and churches but,
for many people, their social life is centred on our public houses. They deserve a particular
mention and a section to themselves. Some of these pubs are very old, in fact the White Heart (formerly 'White Hart') is at least 400 years old. Some of our pubs offer food or some
limited accommodation, if the visitor enquires.

The Penistone area is well served by watering holes. Springvale has the Britannia. Oxspring has The Wagon & Horses and the Travellers ('Fours'). Thurlstone has the Crystal Palace (which opens sporadically) and the Huntsman (a real-ale pub,). The cinema also opens its bar before films and during the intermission. Springvale's WMC has gone. Penistone is a fairly friendly place and any out-of-place accent would soon lead to friendly conversation.
2007:
A national 'No Smoking' ban came into force in England from 1st July 2007 and this has affected pub and restaurant life in Penistone by a reduction in trade (perhaps 10%). The British Legion started early on 1st March, which led to noticeably fewer customers but trade increased somewhat later. A correspondent (Stu) says that major work will take place in most of the town centre pubs. The Spread Eagle and the Rose & Crown are making smoking areas outside their pubs, offering a degree of protection from the weather.
Eating in Penistone
An ancient law requires inns to provide food and shelter for the 'weary traveller' on demand, but not all of them actually sell food.
