Reviews in Halifax

A Jacobean mansion with delightful walled garden offers an unexpected setting, near Halifax, for an upmarket type meal, or accommodation vastly different from the chain hotels. Panelled dining rooms sparkle at night with traditional napery and the bar area offers an entrance to the garden for summer evening aperitifs. A well planned menu should tempt allcomers and the food is presented at a high standard to match the surroundings. The well selected wine list is varied and fair. Service was pleasant and professional; an interesting misselection, by the chef, of the salt cellar, when a sugar shaker was required, produced an alarming creme brulee based concoction, but it was quickly replaced and all puddings were removed, unprovoked by complaint, from the final bill. Definitely a hidden gem to be wrestled from the grasp of knowledgeable locals and to gain favour with your paramour, or to impress your elders. Surprisingly, Sunday lunch is not available. Budget about £40 per head to include house wine.

A brilliant location, very homely with wonderful selection of cask ales and lagers. Alex is the landlord,ex Royal Navy, and a great character, down to earth bloke. The food is all home cooked and a delight to see and eat! Alex has all types of bands/artists performing on a regular basis outdoors, what a setting...the views are outstanding, great for country walks. Looking forward to the next visit.

I thought the meal was very nice compared to other Indian restaurants the portion sizes are probably smaller. however the meal altogether is very nice.

Upstairs and not over-inviting entrance, but excellent value and an all round, sound, standard curry house meal. All the usual choices, and the chef will tailor curries to your liking, if asked. The early bird menu (served until 10pm!) offers a 3 course choice and is topped up with a poppadum and coffee. Excellent value at £5-99. Own drinks permitted, but a bar is available. Friendly staff. Easy street parking and central for town.

had a great meal,service very good,lovely home cooked food plenty of it,well worth a visit

great food.friday night smashing night out .watch if you go sat night or sunday the guy not very nice as if he is doing you a favour.everyone else very helpful though .

The Griffin Inn has been tastefully renovated and redecorated. It is now more restaurant than pub, but retains its bar area for the real ale drinker. Food is excellent with a printed core menu and a specials chalk board with a selection of changing starters and mains. Watch out for special event evenings, pie night on Tuesdays is well supported.

Eaten at this lovely traditional pub a few times and always had a good meal. Went last week and new chef has improved menu and quality of meals. If you like great pub food this place is must. Good beer garden too. Service is informal and friendly.

The location is actually Sowood but that aside I love this inn! Lovely views down the valley from the garden area outside in summer and return visits are always a pleasure. Excellent food, excellent location and friendly and efficient service!

Very good meal pleasant surroundings but can be squeezed up if sat in a corner. Staff very helpful and pleasant, would suggest go early evening before it get very busy and you need to book. Price of the meal reasonable but you get a plate full, well worth a visit.

I would never have thought such a place would exist not only in Halifax but the whole of the North West as well. It really does bring home the true Turkish delight. The food, the people, absolutely fabulous! No one is spared of the highest of respect and hospitality, the type rarely found. Everyone should try it out, n'out to lose!

Lovely old village pub with 2 areas for dining, the pub or the conservatory restaurant. I can only comment on the pub menu, which is not extensive, but does have good quality locally sourced produce available. Food is served efficiently and is of a very good standard. The puddings are worth saving room for! You can also get a decent pint of timothy taylors to go with.

A decent quality pub, serving up honest, proper pub food. It's the kind of place where you know what they'll do well (and they do it very well) and you know what you should probably avoid for fear of over-enthusiasm on the kitchen's part! Very friendly serving team and keenly priced menu, plus good selection of beers.

What a fantastic place, I just love going there, the food and the staff are so wonderful, the tribute night was the best night I have ever had.......... *****

I am a regular at the Duke. I find the service is always excellent, the waitresses are very friendly. Food is very good and good value for money.

The service was a bit slow however this was made up for in the food which was superb. Would return again

Sultan Mahal has been open since 1987. An excellent place to take your family and friends by far the best in Halifax. excellent service excellent food and recently refurbished to a good level. oh and ask for my favourite waiter taz.
