We had another excellent experience at Denmans. The food is exceptional, Rob is a very talented chef. The atmosphere is relaxed & friendly. Denmans is our favourite restaurant. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Had another lovely meal last night. The food never disappoints at this friendly relaxing restaurant. Every small plate was presented beautifully and tasted amazing. Thanks for a wonderful evening.

What a fabulous meal we had at Denmans. Every small plate was delicious and perfectly presented. There was a wide range of tastes and textures. We could relax and eat at our leisure.

Lovey food, service very attentive, a no rush meal with a feel of private dining All the dishes were delicious

Amazing food everytime and the service is top quality.

Excellent as alway, never a disappointing meal and regularly changes menu. Worth every penny

We were delighted at getting a table at Denmans last minute. We'd never been. We booked November 13th but to our dismay when we arrived the whole place was locked up, lights off. We assumed as a very intimate venue there was obviously some sort of emergency so we didn't let it put us off. However we did call up when the restaurent opened at 6pm to double check we were booked - following the mishap we had in November. We were met with some rudeness on the phone, we asked if we could check that the booking was live and she asked if we'd booked online, we said yes, she replied well you're booked then. My partner persisted and asked her to check, she asked his name and said yes we were booked. I was really really excited, I've been wanting to try it for so long. We usually go to the engine in sowerby bridge for this type of food, it's our favourite style of dining. Back to last night. We arrived and were briefly and flatly acknowledged as the lady continued making cocktails, no issue, she was busy. More than happy to wait. Until a table of four walked in behind us and was met with a warm greeting of nice to see you again etc etc- she went ahead and seated them. Before us. We remained stood there for another 5 mins or so whilst she finished making cocktails for the other seated table. We were then given a seat an offered a wine menu and a cocktail menu, I let the lady know we don't drink alcohol but would love a mocktail if she has a menu. Flat no. I asked if maybe she had some Elderflower cordial, which she did and had this with a lemonade. It was a nice alternative. The lady then took the table of 4s order first, again....they had arrived after us. Our turn to order, I don't like nuts, but would never asked a chef to make fundamental changes to dishes, especially in a restaurent like this. If i can tell its embedded in the dish ill choose something else. However if its clear from the menu that the nuts are possible to remove then I would ask if I can have the dish without it. Example....taking walnuts off a salad. This particular nut aspect was a pistachio crumb. I asked for the dish and if it could be without the pistachio. In an almost incredulous voice I was asked...what no nuts, I said yes if possible. She told me as sternly as she could muster she "would have to go check with him". At this point I looked away from the conversation and had to look at my plate because it was getting difficult to bite my tongue. We were polite from the off, even after the annoyance of practically being ignored when we arrived. She recognised this I think so then said "well what does it say the nuts are", I replied....just a crumb....she agreed then that it could probably be removed. We waited 45 minutes for the first dish to arrive. To be honest we'd made a decision at 7.12pm that we'd leave at half past if nothing had come up. It arrived a few minutes later. All in all, good food. Great flavours, nice range of dishes and good portions to have a few. Sadly we won't return, regardless of how polite we were we just weren't getting even the basic hospitality. £100 for a meal for two with just two soft drinks - We got better service and a smile at the greasy spoon breakfast we had this morning.

Our first visit but we will definitely be back. Food was outstanding and the atmosphere was warm and relaxing. One word of warning. The restaurant is in a WiFi black spot so we were unable to call a taxi. The staff ordered on our behalf but it didn’t arrive on time and we were repeatedly told it was on its way. After a long wait we gave up and walked out to find a signal to call one ourselves. If you intend to drink, pre-order your cab home.

Sharing plates of delicious food to suit all palates. We will certainly be back very soon

Finally had chance to visit this lovely local restaurant with a group of friends. Sharing plates portions were a great size and food was delicious with super friendly staff. Definitely will be back!

We visited Denmans for the first time on Valentines Day. It is a charming place, with very friendly local staff, who made us feel welcome. The food was exceptional, small sharing plates of the highest quality, each one cooked well. We will definitely return.

Booked for Valentines Day, food and service excellent as always
