The Shepherd's Rest is without any doubt the best pub I've been to in a couple of decades. A real traditional Yorkshire pub with really excellent food, service and atmosphere topped up by the most amazing views over the Calder Valley and, for hikers like us, the perfect spot for walking to Stoodley Pike. Bar manager James and bar staff Jesse deserve special mention. They were brilliant on every front: polite, enthusiastic, communicative and efficient. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Can't ask for more than that. Our only regret is that it's over an hour's drive away, so I'd make a request that you expand to doing B&B too as you'd be the go-to base for hikers in that valley. Have already mapped out more walks starting/ending at the Shepherd's Rest, whiich I've now recommended to many friends. Thanks again for a lovely day: can't wait to come back!
