Reviews in Halifax

Great little Pub - proper home cooked food. Recently re-furbished and now has air-con, so even when busy, it's a pleasant environment. Thurday night quiz is great fun - the quizmaster should be on stage in London - he's really funny! All in all, a great place to eat, drink and be merry!

Fabulous rural location on the edge of the moors. Excellent parking. Atmospheric "country pub" with open fires and a traditional cosy seating areas. Food home cooked and excellent with large portions. Friendly service. Perfect as a lunchtime venue(perhaps advisable to book ahead on Sunday)or an evening excursion. Coffee served for walkers( good starting point for many beautiful walks)

Much to my disappointment service was poor and the food only average compared to other Indian restaurants in Halifax. The waiters seemed reluctant to help more of a fast food type attitude.

Outstanding, food - divine, service - perfect, not lacking yet not overbearing, ambiance - just right, everything about this place made for an exceptional evening. Highly highly recommend it. Not cheap but like the adage says - "you get what you pay for". Superb.

I had lost my faith in Chips this has now been revived. James and his crew are very friendly and polite. Never rushed, top Quality Stuff.

had a great night last Saturday staff really lovely apart from scruffy arrogant barman .had a super meal home made good food will go again have to find out when he is off.

lovely meal, beef wellington was fab, so was the fish and great homemade puddings, excellent choice. will definitely come back here, we went Thursday and very busy ,

Lovely old village and old pub with terrific ambiance. Well worth repeated visits if only to enjoy the draught beer (Timothy Taylor's) and the excellent young staff who are attentive without being obtrusive, very polite and extremely helpful. The same can be said of the manager.

Always a good meal with a good choice of fresh vegetables. the sweets are to die for and I just keep going back with friends. Very friendly staff. The only down is the tables are all close together, but makes for a friendly atmosphere.

Had a lovely meal at this restaurant staff were friendly and the owner Ziggy helped us with choosing our meal. A thoroughly enjoyable evening.

We visit this pub on a regular basis for the friendly atmosphere and warm greeting that you always get. James and Marie and all the Staff provide service of the highest standard. The bonus is the food, always good, always served with a smile and at a very reasonable price. I have recommended it to many and will continue to do so>

a place to go to to eat in halifax at the moment with their new chefs and refurbished premises with ac great

A very friendly place to visit, with customer service second to none. The range of drinks and the super varied menu with staff going that extra mile to make you feel welcome, makes me return to the Duke on a regular basis. They do lots of little extras that you wouldn't get everywhere (like chill the glasses for the chilled champers) if you order in advance. Well recommended.

i found the pub to be very friendly with a good character inside with the wooden floors and ingle nook fire, a very outstanding range of red and white wines, the food was plenty to chose from. i would recommend anyone to pay a visit this place.

Not been before, recommended by a work colleague. Beautiful setting, especially when the sun is out and you're sat in the garden. Loved the food and wine and my boyfriend said the real ales were very good. Old and rustic with a good friendly edge, will certainly visit again

A group of 8 of us ate here last Saturday and I have not got a bad word to say about the place! The ambience was delightful and the staff so friendly. The food was amazing. My partner recommends the "Tiger Tears" steak which he loved. Most items on the menu could be ordered with chicken, pork, beef, prawn, salmon or just veg so there was plenty of choice for everyone. The vegetarian option is almost half the price too so it was a bonus for me. The noodles are gorgeous here, better than plain bland noodles I have had at other Thai restaurants and the sticky rice was also very nice. I cannot recommend the choclate cake that I had for dessert enough - it was absolutely amazing! Price wise it was decent. It was £190 for 8 of us and that included 3 bottles of wine at a tenner each. We will definitely return for another fantastic meal.

This old pub has now become hidden so well, that only locals have any chance of finding it. But visitors should make the effort. A good, sound pub meal, but with enough choice to satisfy the jaded, is served by friendly staff at a pocket friendly price. The single bar is supplemented by a terraced garden area.Traditional ales available. It provides a cracking lunch time venue within a couple of minutes by car from the town centre. Sandwiches from around £3 and "main meals" about £7

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.
