"They also sank several pints of Timothy Taylor's Brewery Landlords pints, both commenting on the epic flavour.”

The show is expected to air in the autumn or winter.

"A huge thank you to everyone involved and to all our amazing guests who made this such an unforgettable night,” the pub added.

Hebden Bridge is also set to be on our TV screens later this year when Sally Wainwright’s latest project Riot Women is shown.
