The Best Cafes in Slaithwaite, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom (2025)

I really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere & great food. The staff is friendly and attentive when needed. I highly recommend The Little Bridge for lunch or dinner.

Friendly and relaxed yet efficient service. Fresh, simple and tasty food served quickly and reasonably priced. A good selection of drinks and lovely canal side seating. Strongly recommend!

Enjoyable pretty atmosphere, felt almost abroad out on the little river terrace, mid-range cost but very enjoyable and the food and wine was lovely!

Superb friendly attentive staff, lovely location and amazing food. What more could you ask for? I had the roast ham sandwich and chips. My wife ordered the chicken and pesto panini. Great fresh flavours. Well recommended! New menu in photos guys!

An absolute gem! Utterly stunning views across the Clone Valley, heaps of outdoor space, a super warm welcome from the lovely landlord and locals, and Empire ale on cask and Mexican street food to boot. Would massively recommend to anyone looking for a scenic drink in the area, and definitely more than worth the walk 🍻

Good selection of beers and wines available. The food is fantastic and never disappoints with a wide menu on offer. Very friendly and helpful staff. The views are amazing and you can enjoy this from the large outside seating area. Plenty of parking spaces. Also caters for private events.

My partner and I made a much longed for return to the Rose & Crown last week. The pub is located on a hill overlooking the rolling hills of Slaithwaite. Following a 1 mile walk from the centre of the village, naturally up hill so I wouldn’t recommend the walk for those who tire easily! You arrive at the authentic and cosy Rose & Crown. They have a beautiful outside seating area and have outside cover. Inside is your classic English pub vibes, they have a main bar area and a few rooms that off shoot the main entrance which allows for a more private or less hustle and bustle atmosphere. We were greeted by the owner with a welcoming smile and personalised chat about our walk and how we ended up in his pub today! Extremely welcoming and makes you feel at ease after a leg heavy walk. There are a variety of drinks to quench your thirst, I even managed to spot a Thatchers Zero apple cider which is often unheard of in pubs! The music was spot on in the background (for me anyway!) and one room had sports playing for those who wanted to join. The pub will often have an outside projector under cover to watch main sporting events. My partner and I had a few drinks, played a few games and had a pizza from the food truck that alternates upon each week. I understand this pub hit hard times after Lockdown and has only recently opened on reduced hours. I want to shout this charismatic pub from the hilltops and remind everyone that it’s back open! It’s a gem of a pub an excuse to get your walking boots on, dust the cobwebs off and trek for a well earned drink! Parking is also plentiful for those whose walking attire is hung up for the day. I’d only like to see more alcohol free options (that replicate savory non alcohol drinks like apple ciders and IPAs over ‘mixed fruit’ options) and … tricky enough being low alcohol, the pub used to be amazing with dietary variations, but since the venders came on site it can be quite restrictive dietary wise due to the nature of being ‘pop up’. However, plenty of snacks and posh crisps behind the bar! The Rose & Crown is certainly worth the visit, if visiting from out of town or nipping up to one of your locals. The food and drink is spot on and cosy at ease atmosphere is all anyone asks for in this busy world! 🍻 Oh! And a bonus, the pub is dog friendly, infact with the decor seems to encourage dogs! 🐕

A good view of slaithwaite and marsden. plenty of outdoor seats, we arrived 1:40pm and did wait a bit long for our meals. the steak pie was delicacy and plenty of beef steak. the fish pie was in generous portion, it would be perfect if had more smoke fish in it. the fish and chips were tasty and plenty of garden peas. sticky toffee pudding with custard was tasty.

A massive thank you to Bolster Moor for making our wedding so memorable with a three tier pork pie ‘cake’ instead of the traditional option!! It was an absolute hit! 💯💯 We also had a beautiful selection of cakes from the bakery, which added a sweet touch to the spread. The team at Bolster Moor made the whole process so easy, from arranging everything to lending us a cake stand (for just a deposit, which was a great touch). It was super easy to work with them, and the food was absolutely delicious, as always. Thanks so much, Bolster Moor, for helping make our day special with such incredible treats ! We will be back for sure for more of that pork pie 😜🧡🤍🌻

Love this little gem.. I drive 38 miles to shop here for my mini short bread biscuits.. there’s not one brand of short bread that beats this place, the staff are so friendly and helpful and the cafe is excellent.. well worth a trip out to visit

I held my baby shower here on the 4th August and even from the planning stage, the staff and chefs were amazing. We had a special afternoon tea crafted which tasted amazing and everyone loved the food. The venue is stunning and the staff were very helpful with setting up, and catering to our table throughout the day. Cannot recommend enough, thank you for such a special day.
