1885 The - Calderdale

Came over to visit family from hull and we decided to go out for lunch and my family picked this local bar and restaurant to have our lunch.. Nice entrance to the bar, which we was met with a warm smile and welcoming. I the lady showed us to the table , there was 7 of us, so she just pushed a table closer so we had lots of room to sit and enjoy our meal, the child got 2 sheets of colouring paper, which he stared to do straight away.. We got given menus and drinks orders were taken. Fabulous warm log fire and beautiful ombré about this place, cosy and impressive all in one place. Once we looked at the menu we made or choice, all picking different kinds of meals and helpful information when asked for details. All the food came within good time, and cooked freshly, hot and full of flavour. Kids meal was of a good size and good price for the quality. Not one of us could fault the delicious food presented to us. The lady serving and looking after us was tentative but not over powering. sorry didn’t get her name) We often come to visit family and would differently call here again, we even might stay in the on site rooms. Car park to the rear and on a summer time you can sit out, which I’m sure just adds to this wonderful experience.

Great food. I was pleasantly surprised with the really good vegan options. Was offered arguably the best vegan options for breakfast, outside of the places that are 100% plant based.

Great atmosphere and service but let down by the menu choice which was limited and not well balanced in terms of choice. Fish and chips were good but the curry, lasagne and pie were very average. The lasagne was very rich and lacking in pastas, more like a bolognaise although all fresh. Cheese and biscuits were very good, plenty of variety and portion size was excellent. ala carte priced food but over priced for a pub dining experience.

Exiting and delicious tasting menu! Me and my partner are both foodies and love trying something new, this did not disappoint!! Everything was perfect, from the friendly welcome at the door and service from the staff, cocktails, wine list and food. Great quality and value for money for such a fabulous experience. Can’t wait to come back and already planning our next visit!

We called in for a quick drink and were shocked at the cost especially considering one of the 2 drinks was a small soft drink from a pump on draught. Totally understand everything has gone up post pandemic however over £10 for a half draught Cola and a glass of house red is really too much for a country pub frequented by locals in a small quiet village. Pricing yourself out of the market springs to mind.. We won’t be back for a quick drink after this.
