I had my first visit to the Red Shed in Wakefield tonight. I had a really good tasting porter from Bradford (local to the area). A wonderful clean tasting pint :D

What a place too.... literally a shed that is red. There are plaques of various awards and pictures all over the wall, all squint, and all advertising just how good this place is.

If you are ever in West Yorkshire, go to Wakefield, and find the Red Shed.  If you have ever seen "Batteries Not Included", then you will experience what is basically the real life version of the cafe in that movie. A massive shopping centre is being built right next to it (though the building has currently been suspended due to financing issues). They tried to buy over the Red Shed and turn it into a bit of a shopping centre. They failed. Here's hoping they NEVER succeed.
