This is a really lovely pub in hebden bridge, I came in with low battery and needing to get a train home and asked the lady behind the bar if it was possible to charge it and she plugged my phone in for me. I decided to stay for a drink and food. The prices are a bit steep for a pub but the food was delicious and the service was excellent. I ordered from the specials menu and can't remember the name but it was deep fried calamari, prawns and sea bass with chips. The portion size at first looked small but I struggled to finish even though I wanted to eat everything on the plate. The presentation was really well done. The chips were nice and crispy and everything was perfectly cooked. It came with a side of salsa and alioli. The atmosphere was very relaxed and calm. They have a range of seated areas from comfy Chesterfield's to rustic tables and chairs and the decor is very nice. They also played quite nice chilled music. I would definetly come here for a drink or food again and would definetly recommend to anyone else visiting hebden bridge. It also seems extremely dog friendly.
So good we came twice. Great food and drink in a beautiful environment at a very reasonable price, served by efficient friendly staff. Only detractor was a couple of children’s desserts were added to our bill in error. This was removed without question but is the reason for 4 stars for service. Met the owners on our first visit who were charming, and deserve great success with this excellent restaurant.
Having been here before, but just for drinks, we’ve always promised to give the food a try, so today we did - Thursday lunch 14 Nov. We arrived to a very relaxed setting, which has a beautiful wood burning stove, we chose a table nearby. The waiter was immediately reactive and brought our menus and took our drinks order. Drinks arrived swiftly. Later we placed our food order with the friendly waitress. We both chose the fish sandwich, on the menu described as a light lunch. We also ordered a side of onion rings to be shared as a starter. Boy o boy, the onion rings arrived piled high freshly made, and deep fried in batter, a little greasy, but they hit the spot. Our fish sandwiches arrived, these were huge and tasty too, served with tartare sauce, chips or fries. Now this is marked on the menu as a light lunch, all I can say is that I wouldn’t like to see their heavy lunch! I’ve knocked a star off because they were having a beer delivery during our meal. 6 or so barrels of beer being squeezed passed our table in a sack truck was a bit off putting to say the least, and the door opening constantly letting in the draught just spoilt it for us.
Outstanding evening! Atmosphere buzzing , food excellent and every single member of staff top. Thanks Mac for flexibility around the booking and will be back 100% when next in Hebden Bridge. Highly recommended!
Visited here for the first time with friends. BOOKING is advised as it was very busy. We sat upstairs which was a beautiful setting. I had fish cake for starters and the lamb and mint burger for main. Friends had the set menu which was 2 courses for £21 I think. The service was of a high standard with very attentive waiters. Would recommend to friends and family
