The New Orleans Strollers Jazz Band
Cubley Hall
Cubley Hall is located a good distance from the centre of Penistone, past the old vinegar brewery horse trough and up the steep
hill of Mortimer Road. The leaflet says that it was a moorland farm on a pack-horse
route in the 1700s, then a gentleman's residence with four acres of gardens and
grounds during the reign of Queen Victoria. After WW2 it became an orphanage until about 1980.
In the early 1980s, it was sold to John and David, the former truck drivers who have built it up into a popular pub, restaurant and guest house. I recall being enthusiastically shown around by one of them as the cement was drying, just before it opened. In 1990 an old oak-beamed stone barn was converted into a large carvery. Accommodation was added in 1996. In 2007 they proudly celebrated the twenty fifth anniversary (bottom row) with raffles, a jazz band, bouncy castle and a children's magician.
The pub part has a separate family room, a small quiet room often used for private functions, a large and comfortable main area and a dark corner near to the bar for more intimate gatherings or assignations. A good range of proper real ales is available along with all of the usual popular beverages and tea or coffee. Car parking is ample and well lit at night. There is a children's obstacle course outside and a beer garden in the well maintained grounds. A new bandstand was built recently. There is plenty of room for a kick-about if you bring along a kid and a ball. No. 21 or 22 Buses come from Penistone every hour, in a round trip.
