Welcome to The Sovereign

The Sovereign is well known in Shepley and across Huddersfield as a fine country pub. A popular pub restaurant famous for great food, we are on the periphery of Shepley, close to Cownes. There is always a warm welcome with roaring log fires, freshly prepared food, a great selection of real ales and a diverse wine menu for you to choose from.

A Little Pub History

The history of The Sovereign goes back over 160 years to the reign of King George IV when a local entrepreneur, Seth Senior built a brewery on the site in 1829. Legend has it the business was started with a borrowed sovereign and many believe that in commemoration of its origins, a gold coin is still buried somewhere on the premises.
