The Best Restaurants in Esholt, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom (2025)

Amazing food at the tapas tree. Highly recommend. Service was also wonderful too. Will deffo be back!

This lovely little place serves food with heaps of flavour! We had the bottomless brunch, with a fantastic selection of delicious dishes to choose from, and a solid choice of drinks! Service was fast and efficient, I’d certainly come back. The atmosphere could definitely have used a switch up just to get our party of 5 going, but other than that I couldn’t find fault. Thank you Tapas Tree

What a gem of a place, not visited for years and thought we would have our anniversary meal. Was absolutely delicious, would highly recommend chicken pollo Marbella. The service for the lady for lovely too.

I'm a pretty regular curry eater. This place is by far the best food I've had in some time. Thoroughly recommend

First time tonight we tried this restaurant and we weren't disappointed and will be coming back again

6 of us visited Saturday night 10:8:24 the restaurant was busy ( so I suggest you book 1st ) I had fish pakora's for starters then chicken madras for main meal must say best curry in ages will definitely be going again

Very nice food,good service,clean and tidy, can get busy at weekends, booking recommended.

Update: Visited here again recently and it was just as good as the previous visit. Great early bird offer with great value! Excellent find. The food is amazing and the staff are nice and friendly. Very well priced for today's cost of living. I had the Sambuca Special Pizza and it was one of the best I've had, even the mixed salad was on another level. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Never had a bad meal here! Food is always amazing and front of house staff super friendly and accommodating. 5 star 😁

Great food and great atmosphere. Well worth a visit but you beed to book as this place is in high demand. Had mushroom in garlic sauce fir starter and pollo stroganoff fir bsin. Hubby gsd pollo fiorentine. Tiramisu for desert goes without saying.

Celebrating my graduation at Aldo's Italian. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough, the food was absolutely stunning, the staff were amazing and so friendly and welcoming. The restaurant has such a lovely atmosphere, that I'd recommend it for anyone wanting a nice meal out. Thank you Aldo's Italian for helping make my graduation meal a fantastic evening.

Always have fab food and lovely staff. Friendly, welcoming and always happy to help. Food is fantastic.

What can I say about this wonderful place, 😍 we traveled from Dorset to see our wonderful family and friends up Bradford, this place is a goldmine, well worth the money, just wish they had down Dorset

This restaurant was that good that it could knock my other reviews down a star to make room for it. I don't usually eat Italian as I find it boring but this place is a unique experience. I have never been somewhere where the staff were so attentive. Aldo himself too our order and picked my main. I wanted to east all the starters but what I did have was amazing. This place ticks all the boxes. Great service, food and reasonably priced. I will definitely go back.

We had a fabulous afternoon visiting Salts Mill! We heard that David Hockney had a flowers in print exhibition and couldn’t wait to take a look. We had visited the Media museum earlier in the day, so saw some of his artistic talents through his 4 seasons videos filmed through 9 cameras. The mill had 3 floors of interesting arts, plenty of areas to eat and drink and a wonderful book store! There’s plenty of David Hockney related things to peruse/buy! We also watched a video of the history of Salts Mill which was fascinating!

It’s always good to take a friend from other areas to visit places you enjoy and find they like them too. Salts mill and Saltaire is such an unusual place combining history via art ( through Hockney) and industrial skills - the mill itself and the town of Saltaire. The town has a character modern towns usually lack and the mill shows industrial heritage where money talked and could be good for the workers. Pity more entrepreneurs don’t build new towns around their dream developments!! We enjoyed the art, the spaces within the mill (which is huge) including the cafe and book shops. We saw some video footage of how the mill started but didn’t see it all. Think we should return to learn more. Cafe - we had to wait a while but it was ok and the lunch was fine-tasty and reasonable. Take time, don’t rush and think about the original workers but also the dedication of Jonathan Silver who so valued this place and ensured it became a valued place in industrial history.

We parked on Caroline Street for £1.50 per hour (able to extend on RingGo app). Queue for food was quite long but we got in early at 11:30 which seemed to beat the queue. Pizzas were amazing! There is another cafe on level 3 if you want to skip the long queue. Exhibits were nice and the activities in the Peace Museum upstairs were great. Only suggestion to management is have some signage for prams/wheelchairs. Accessibility at the two entrances/exits we saw were none existent.

What an amazing place to visit, and so much to see! Beautiful art and photography displays, a book store, antiques, jewlery, hiking wear, peace museum and more. Even a few caffès/ places for food in there too. I recommend setting aside a couple of hours if you really want to make the most of your visit here! There are also elevators to access all floors.

Came here tonight for my hubbys birthday as a family of 5. Absolutely faultless. The food was perfect, the atmosphere was beautiful and the service was amazing. Thankyou so much. Can't wait to come back again soon!

Been here 4 times now and the food is amazing. The flavour, quality, and value for money is second to none. It isn't a big restaurant but this adds to the atmosphere, it's lovely and friendly.

First time here. We both realy enjoyed our food. Very tasty. The restaurant looks lovely inside. Friendly service. The reason for not giving 5 stars is as as follows. 1. Cash only 🤔. There is a cash machine at the opposite side of the road (£1.99 charge) The proprietor kindly gave me a latte free of charge to compensate for the charge 😊. I cannot remember the last time I went somewhere that was cash only. Hopefully they will except card payments in the not to distant future 🤞. Recommended but have enough cash with you.

Gorgeous freshly made food in the loveliest venue. I'm knocking down a star as recently service has gotten a bit poor.. i blame the young staff who are not as authentic with the cuisine as previous staff were. Also they don't do tap water.. totally disgusting and ridiculous. The place is expensive as it is and they can't even give you a glass of water without charging you?? Absolute robbery. That being said, the quality and taste of food has always delivered. I recommend you try as it's one of the best in Bradford and I can't wait to go back!

Delicious food and very friendly staff. The atmosphere was great.

The ambience is great. We were accommodated despite a late booking. The food is well made, succulent meat, falafel was outstanding, the lamb shank and Beiruti Grill that we tried did not disappoint. The main chef was willing to help. Staff were overall helpful, sometimes took time to access as was a busy evening.

We booked the Old Barn at Esholt for our wedding and are thrilled with how everything went. The food was amazing, of a really high quality and we've received lots of compliments from guests about how delicious it was. Our wedding guests were able to use the driving range, which was a massive hit and made the day that extra bit fun and unique. We paid a small fee to be able to have the venue stay open until 02:00AM which was a fantastic bonus for us as we usually feel that weddings end too early. Diane and her team were a pleasure to work. They were flexible and accommodating about the menu, ceremony layout, music and extra bits we wanted like a cheese wedding cake. As our guests love craft beer, Diane ordered our preferred cans of beer and sold these on the day. This was a lovely touch for us to be able to have our ideal drinks selection on offer. The day itself went very smoothly with everything being impeccably well organised with great care taken. We were thoroughly well looked after and we are so grateful.

We had our wedding at the Old Barn in March 2024 and we couldn’t have wished for a better day. From our first meeting with Diane the year prior to the day everything was spectacular. Diane is a complete professional, extremely friendly organised and hard working, she worked closely with our suppliers making the weeks leading up to the wedding stress free. Throughout the planning she recommended some fantastic suppliers! The venue is beautiful in a lovely location it was the perfect size for our wedding of 80 day guests. The food was spectacular, I have been to a few weddings at other venues where the food is mediocre however the food on our day was superb, the roast beef and Yorkshire puddings were beautiful! All the staff at the old barn worked incredibly hard, always with a smile on their face and they couldn’t have done enough for us. Thankyou so much to everyone at the Old Barn for creating such a magnificent day for us, the only let down is we can’t do it every year!

We got married at The Old Barn on September 30th and it was such an incredible day! From the moment we booked our wedding to when we collected everything from The Old Barn, Diane and her team have made us feel special and truly looked after us. Diane is unbelievably organised and experienced, and throughout our planning has given us many a tip/suggestion that paid off well! When the day came, everything went perfectly. All of our decorations and little touches were taken care of beautifully and exactly as we had asked for them. Although it rained all day, there was more than enough room for all our guests to stay dry! All of the food and drinks were incredible too; and all the staff took great care of us, very attentive but also gave us the time and space to enjoy our day. We also used The Old Barn's DJ for our reception (Alex Dixon) and he was just incredible. We sent him a list of suggestions/requests before the day and he really ran with it, which created an incredible atmosphere where the dance floor was never empty! We'll be eternally grateful to everyone at The Old Barn for making our big day just so special and perfect. Thank you all, Mr. and Mrs. Stott 🖤 Photos by @lizbakerphotos

My daughter recently had her wedding at The Old Barn and they gave everyone a fantastic day. Diane and her team helped everything run seamlessly. Thank you Diane, I would highly recommend your venue to anyone who is thinking of having their wedding at The Old Barn.

Lovely comfortable pub.... friendly manager (Will) and his team. Good to see a real fire . Food great and value for money.

This was a pretty good place. It was dog friendly and relatively quiet. The food arrived quickly, and the staff were friendly. The food was ok, and the atmosphere was relatively good. I’d probably come back here again.
