Reviews in Halifax

Myself and a few friends who eat out quite often called into the sportsman's last Saturday night. The place was "packed" to say the least. Luckily we had booked a table as the whole pubs really busy and the atmosphere was electric. I had a tart of goats cheese and red onion chutney which came served on a magnificently presented, followed by Seabass in lemon and caper butter which i chose from the fish specials board, the fish was lovely and succulent. My friends all had 10 0z sirloin steaks which were cooked to perfection. Value for money and great looking food. definitely coming again.

fab for lunch or evening cocktails.

highly recommended for the fab food & wide choice of dishes, restaurant is homely & stylish. Staff always friendly & welcoming & nothing is too much trouble. Nice wine too. We had our informal wedding reception here (july 2010) & it was perfect-the food, service, everything. Thanks to Johnny, Matt & the team for helping to make it a day to remember.

The food is outstanding here. A good old fashioned English country pub, serving home cooked food at great prices. Atmosphere is fantastic and the staff are great. They are so welcoming and friendly. We are a regular and take all our family and friends there for a meal when they come to stay with us. The Sunday roast dinners are the best and the Yorkie puds are just to die for!

Had one of the most enjoyable lunches out today as my wife and I visited the Sportsmans Inn.We travelled over from Bramley on a beautiful Springlike day. First time visitors we plumped for a Retro lunch and dessert.I had half a pint of Taylors Landlord which was excellent .I chose the Fishermans Pie which came with Roast Potatoes and a selection of spring Veg.The dish was fantastic with succulent pieces of fish in a creamy sauce topped with mash and a cheesy top.My wife had the Beer Braised Beef which also was delicious.Finding space for a dessert I opted for the Sticky Toffee Pudding served with vanilla Ice Cream.My wife had the Banoffee Crumble with Creme Anglaise.Both were fantastic.We immediately booked for Mothers Day. Can't wait to go back .Highly recommended!

New manager (for about the 7th time in 3 years!) and a total refurbishment - hopefully this arrangement stays as it is for a long time to come, because it really is a step up! Great food, good beer (T Taylors and Black Sheep last time I looked), classy decor and a great location - all served up by cheerful, friendly hardworking young staff. Fingers crossed this new team stay the distance...

Went here on Wednesday night. It only opened just before Christmas. Not many tables, liked the open kitchen. Food was good - Italian style - but service was a bit slow. Liked the decor although a big mirror kept putting us off a bit! Good value . NB we had booked (birthday do) and it was pretty full on a Weds so please bear that in mind.

Very friendly staff/Management. Very nice food. Lovely surroundings. Excellent service. More than happy to recommend to anyone. Thank you !

Wonderful atmosphere, cosy and warm with roaring open fires. Real ale, real food - can't be beaten!

Been twice recently and can thoroughly recommend the £10 for 3 courses menu. Some items on the menu do have a supplement but even so its excellent value and no scrimping on value. The only complaint would be that due to the low ceilings and lack of soft furnishings it can get a bit noisy. Even still I can't wait to go back.

The Duke's food is second to none. Service is impeccable and the atmosphere is welcoming & comfortable. Well worth a visit from out of the area for the food alone and worth a visit to have a beer and some banter with James, Maria, Dan, Hazel and the friendly locals. Top draw in every sense of the word. One visit wasn't enough, I've been several times and I'll be back. (like Arnie). Recommended: chilli melt, steaks from local butchers and especially the Xmas menu. Also, don't miss out on Maria's jacket chips. Enjoy.

This pub was recommended to me by a friend. I came with my husband and we had the fish deal on a Friday. Absolutely beautiful! It's the best meal I have ever had out! Excellent price too! Overall, fantastic healthy quality food for an exceptional price. Could not possibly be beaten! Thank you

Great pub with fabulous friendly staff. In terms of food the Duke of York punches above it's weight. Sunday lunch is great value as is stake night on Wednesday but for a real treat try Thursday night and Maria's special curry....it's outstanding. Try it and you won't be disappointed

i would recommend this place to anyone . its got a lovely atmosphere the staff are fantastic friendly lovely people . and the food is top class love it

What a wonderful place to stay and eat. Friendly and efficient staff, superb food, excellent service. Fabulous real ale. Rooms are very nice. If I had one tiny wish, for improvement for me personally, I would love an easy-chair in the bedroom. Saying that it has not stopped us booking again nearer Christmas.

ordered from get stuffed quite a few times, only cos they take card payments. The food isn't fantastic, and twice I've been ripped off - in the case of the latter they delivered our pizza (ordered chicken and sweetcorn, received a small amount of chicken with more mushroom than base - allergic to mushroom) - after an hour and charged £10 for a small. For the next hour we could not contact, them and they refused a refund despite messing up our order.

Oh My God amazing food just to die for!!! The friendly staff are fantastic and are very welcoming, always service with a smile! I continue going to the Duke enjoying every minute of it :)

The welcome is very friendly. The food is excellent and the service is attentive. Prices are reasonable and overall it’s excellent value for money.
