We went there on Saturday lunchtime after a hike in Ilkley Moors. It was busy but we managed to find a table. We only had dessert and a café. They allow dogs in the pub area. The service was prompt and polite. We also had a nice view. I do recommend and would visit this place again.

Christmas Dinner can be a let down however the staff here did really well. The food was tasty and served whilst still nice and hot. Service was quick, as well as friendly. Usually you expect a drop in standards for a christmas meal but they did really well making it a fantastic meal.

Absolutely delightful visit as a family group. Such a warm and welcoming place with beautiful views all around. Child friendly with colouring pages, high chairs and changing facilities. The staff were all lovely and the service was great. The food itself was incredible, every one of us enjoyed every bite!

The Cow and Calf at Ilkley Moor is an absolute gem! Nestled in a gorgeous location, it offers stunning views of the moorland, making it a perfect destination for both locals and visitors alike. The surrounding landscape is truly breathtaking, and the pub is ideally situated to take full advantage of this natural beauty. Parking is convenient with a variety of options available. Whether you prefer to park in the nearby car park or on the verge just outside the pub, you won’t have any trouble finding a spot, even during busy times. The ease of access is definitely a plus for those who might be stopping by after a long hike or simply exploring the area. Although we had already eaten before arriving, it was clear from the menu that the food options are very tempting. The dishes we saw being served looked delicious, and it was a bit of a shame that we couldn’t sample them ourselves. If the food tastes as good as it looks, then it's definitely worth trying on your next visit. We visited the Cow and Calf primarily as a rest stop after a long hike across Ilkley Moor. The pub provided a perfect spot to unwind, enjoy a drink, and take in the views. In our case, a drink and a snack were just what we needed. The atmosphere is welcoming, and it feels like the kind of place where you can truly relax and soak in the surroundings. In summary, whether you’re looking for a delicious meal, a quick snack, or just a place to relax after exploring Ilkley Moor, the Cow and Calf is a perfect choice. I’ll definitely be returning to try the food and enjoy more of what this lovely pub has to offer.

This has always been one of my favourite places and nothing has changed! The food is still gorgeous, the staff are friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was perfect. Had a lamb Sunday Roast and it had zero faults! Thank you especially to our server: Emily, she was a delight!
