Good pub. Busy young lady behind the bar did very well with good and drink orders coming from all angles, TT beer as good as ever and food excellent.

Stayed 4 nights - bed tiny, but great view over valley (not all rooms have a view though). Staff rated very helpful to efficient, breakfast standard quality, evening meals good (lots of competition in this street) but choices limited. Beer excellent (4 Taylor's brews, lots of interesting bottles lagers), seats outside for view, beer garden round back. Very popular with locals who didn't bother me as I didn't bother them. Never felt anything more than a tourist in any pub in town, but enjoyed the beer.

In a time of recession when you'd think with so many hundred pubs closing a week across the UK that customer service would be paramount, it was such a shame to venture into this pub and be served by a sour face arrogant hostess. I'd guess she was a manager or assistant manager, very rude, inattentive, and not concentrating on the customer in front of her. After being served in somewhat of a fashion, I continued to remain at the bar and observe further rudeness that I frankly found unacceptable even if she was familiar with the customer she was serving. I read previous comments before posting, and would have agreed with many points, but on the night the rudeness of this young female left me happy to go elsewhere and be unlikely to return.

Tall narrow terraced stone building in what I believe is the main street in Haworth (though it took us long enough to find it coming from the station !). Inside it is divided up into smaller drinking areas, each big enough for 2 or 3 tables, plus a larger area around the bar. If you sit at a table by the correct window, there are great views across the valley. Toilets are upstairs, as is the accommodation. I believe the beer garden is even further up (sign pointed that way), but I couldn’t work out how to get there !

Pub appeared to be frequented by genuine customers rather than tourists, but that could be because it was out of season.

The pub is a Timothy Taylors tied house, and serves their complete range. I had the Ram Tam, as I had never triedit before, and very nice it was too. There was also a guest, thich was Saltaire “South Island” (made from New Zealand hops apparently). Also, has a range of continental bottled beers, but many of them are such staples as Peroni and Budweiser. NOTE : the beer isn’t cheap, as 3 pints came to £9.

There was a substantial menu, concentrasting on “good solid home-cooked food”. A cut above the normal “pub grub” but not into gourmet or gastro territory. I had the Aberdeen Angus burger, and my colleagues had lamb shank and beef and ale pie, all of which were entirely reasonable. There is also a specials board which contains items a bit more exotic. Prices were on the igh side, but not ridiculous.

I nice feature on the menu was the listing by each dish saying which beer(s) it would go with. Having already bought our drinks, we attemped to use that in reverse !

Where the place fell down was in the servicing of food orders. Dishes seemed to appear at random, and not all of a group together. And we only ever got two lots of vegetables to go with our three dishes. Five minutes after our first dish arrived (before anything else) we were offered a Rabbit Casserole !

NB to reach the pub from the station. Take the footbridge over the line, cross the road and take the cobbled “street” directly up the hill. When you cross a “proper” road, there are some steps, go up these and at the top the pub is almost immediately in front of you.

7/10 – needs to tighten up its act a bit.

visited this pub on 2 occassions the first being spring and the second being 1940's weekend
The pub itself is split into separate areas with the bar straight ahead, so you can find a quiet area if you want
spring we entered the pub which was warm and seemed nice a cosey there were around 15-20 people in at the time and all seemed in a happy mood. i ordered a pint of landlord and a wine for the mrs it was quite pricey, however the beer was good.
1940's weekend entering the pub it was warm and really really busy and when we managed to get to the bar we were greeted with a smile and asked what we would like i ordered a pint of landlord and again a wine for the mrs. i was shocked to find the price had risen when we had only been there abit before the 1940's weekend i paid.

i am shocked that with the beer being the same standard as last time and the wine being the same as last time the price gone up only to over hear a regular being charged slightly less when he ordered the same pint as me.
the bar staff need to remember who visits before they put you prices up next time and it was not a normal pub increase (visitors price increase and normal prices for the regulars)
