The Cherry Tree - JD Wetherspoon

You're walking down John William Street in the heart of town, and The Cherry Tree is exactly what you'd hope for—unpretentious, reliable, and buzzing with the kind of crowd that makes Huddersfield's pub scene tick. It's a proper boozer in the best sense, with that Wetherspoon formula that somehow works: decent ales, food that won't disappoint you, and prices that mean you can afford to stay longer than one drink. The regulars know their spot, and there's something satisfying about a place that doesn't try to be anything other than what it is.
