Lunch at the Dusty Miller

 Wednesday 26th  August 2026.          Lunch at the Dusty Miller 

As the title suggests today’s outing for some of the Lads will take them to the location of Mirfield, a town on the outskirts of Dewsbury. It will be a group of 6 that will participate, those being, Colin, John and Brian travelling to Dewsbury by train from Leeds, whilst Derek and Dave are travelling by bus from Ossett, Keith will be coming to Mirfield by car.

The five lads meeting up in Dewsbury will take a short bus ride journey from the station here onto Mirfield. Their venue is the Dusty Miller Pub which is situated on one of the main roads in close proximity to a rather handy bus stop. It would be the 202 bus that ferried them to the nearest bus stop.This journey taking the lads along unfamiliar routes to them, they eventually got off the bus on Flash Lane the Dusty Miller was just over the road on Dunbottle Lane.

In less than 10 minutes all but Keith were inside the pub and eventually found themselves a suitable place on the second attempt, uncomfortable seats at table 30, so moved up one. Keith joined them a few minutes later, in what was surprisingly very pleasant surroundings to say the least.

Now with drinks ordered it was time to study their very extensive menu, various options to choose from, all six of us taking advantage of the two meals deal, good choice.

As per usual the conversation turned to future adventures and the next locations to visit etc, the weather playing a very significant part in our upcoming plans etc. the long term forecast for unsettled conditions not favourable.

With our meals relished in these pleasing surroundings here at the Dusty Miller it was some 2 hours before we bid farewell to the place and made our respective journeys home, Keith kindly taking Brian and Colin along in his car, John , Derek and Dave returning to Dewsbury by bus.

Upon reflection today’s outing proved very successful indeed, lovely venue and very pleasing meals.

Cheers Everyone.s
