The Griffin Inn

IF you were handing out marks for effort and perseverance, Liz Lindsay and her daughter, Nichi, would go to the top of the class.
The two women took over the Griffin Inn, Barkisland, two and a half years ago and in that time have tried everything imaginable to draw in the crowds.
The Griffin is one of Calderdale's best-known village pubs and dates back to 1642. As well as having lots of character, it also has its own ghost and spooky happenings are a regular occurance.
Ghosts aside, in years gone by the pub had a reputation for serving some of the best food around, and Liz and her daughter's ambition has always been to get it back to its glory days.
