One word sums this place up; "wow" Everything you could want from a pub. We visited during a recent holiday and can't disagree more with the comments of Andrew in Cleck. The atmosphere was pleasant and welcoming and the food was simply fantastic, so much so we ate there both nights of our stay in the area. Really well worth a visit, please don't be put off by its slightly off the beaten track location!

1970 decor. Non enthusiastic bar staff no food so avoid for food go for cheap beer and basic surroundings

The service was awful. Really slow. Unfriendly staff. Food was ok but for £70 for a meal for two I would expect a lot more. You can get tastier Japanese food at Fuji Hiro for a fraction of the price. I wont be going again.

I moved to stainland in 2011 as my husband Alan had lived here for many years, I wanted a local country pub and the Duke of York offers a homely feel to a pub, where everybody makes you welcome and even as new comers we felt like we had been friends with people for years. As we are now regulars to the Duke of York and we consider James and Maria as our friends. They offer excellent service and always have a smile so we decided to have our wedding reception at the pub on 17.9.11. We invited 50-60 people and all our guests were made to feel welcome. The buffet was excellent as always, maria's cooking is fab. Maria and James had a smile for everybody all day, our guests stayed till late into the evening and now my family feel part of the local pub life. We had a fantastic day and would highly recommend the Duke for any functions or if your passing just call in for a meal or a drink. Maria and James will make you welcome and you will never be short of people to talk to when you go into the pub. Pauline and Alan Whitehead

Looking for a breakfast recently,I called into Pasta Romagna. I felt very let down by the quality, as the cappuccino was very week and the fried eggs where over cooked and brown from old fat. The place seemed to live in the past. I definitely will not be visiting again .

Fancying a curry take away, I rang Kebabeesh recently. My request to deliver to the pub I was drinking in caused no problems. The Mixed Thali I ordered arrived promptly and was delicious.

Hansa's food is sublime! I have eaten here several times and every time I go back I am always amazed by the depth of flavour, vibrancy and sheer quality of the dishes. It is a wonderful place, with an extremely friendly and welcoming atmosphere. If you haven't been, you should definitely go!

Booked a table last Thursday for Saturday night at 8.00 pm. Arrived early, which was a good thing as parking is very limited. They didn't have my reservation on the list, so was asked to wait at the bar. After about 15 minutes wait we got a table, and were told by the waiter he would fetch the specials board. 10 minutes later I reminded them, we were still waiting for it. Ordered & when the food arrived, it was hot, obviously freshly prepared, and generous portions. Were delighted to see one waiter, Gus, who had been at Bella Roma in Wakefield for many years. He remembered us, and his attention made what hadn't started out too good into a very pleasant night. A couple of little things like the offer of a drink on the house, and, unexpectedly, a plate of fresh fruit at the end of the meal was a nice touch. Think next time we go (and there will be a next time) we'll get a taxi, but overall, for a very busy place, well done Valentinos.

Well we must have been unlucky. ! My husband took me to The Railway for a birthday treat as we have been there before. Last time we went the service was very slow but we thought we would give them a second chance. We were shown to a table which rocked all over and had to ask for beer mats to steady it. Then we waited for ages to make our order, The food as usual was lovely but after the plates for our main course where removed we seem to have been forgotten . More than 20 mins later still no one asked if we wanted a sweet or another drink ( which we did ) and we gave up and went to pay the bill in the bar. The woman behind the bar was on the phone chatting to a friend and to be honest we could have walked out and they wouldn't have noticed. ! Eventually she put the phone down and we remarked on what had happened and we weren't happy so she didn't charge us the £2 extra surcharge each. Wow ! The food is very good at the railway but I dont think we'll bother going back now. No one should have to wait that long in a restaurant. !!

Having worked for mr Kong at yum yum undertaking various electrical work from the toilets to the kitchen and having my dinner made for me then returning on an evening for a meal with my girlfriend, I can confirm that the food is totally awesome, the kitchen is spotless, the food is prepared and the kitchen is thoroughly cleaned each morning and the chef, mr Kong is awe inspiring to watch cooking. He is amazing as is the food. I will be going back to eat here time after time.

we live in oldham and visited Bradford for the day googled for somewhere to eat, this pub came up and we weren't disappointed, the service of the young lady behind the bar was so pleasant and very nice, and then the food came it was lovely, we will be coming again wen we come back to Bradford.......

Unfortunate to say, but this once great restaurant has gone seriously downhill. The last few times we have been we have had poor customer service. The vegetarian dish arrived with chicken and had to be returned, and minimal apology/acknowledgment was given from the staff. The starter was burnt and the smell ruined the rest of the meal. They had run out of main course that I initially wanted, and then didn't have my next choice either. A once great restaurant has had its last custom from us.

very enjoyable on our last visit. hope to come again very soon for celebration meal for retirement. look forward to seeing you then (November). K and M Peplow

We had a home delivery from here on Thursday 29th Sept , I can with all honesty say that it was Disgusting £31 it had cost usso be warned !! don't waste your money !!

After lunching here a few years ago, I'd been looking for an opportunity to take my wife there. Her birthday on Saturday was the occasion. Overall impression? Definitely resting on its laurels. The gap between ordering, sitting down and receiving starters was about 10 mins. and then despite asking for a breather between courses, the main course was there within another 10 minutes - seriously we'd had 2 courses within 30 minutes. Now I don't know about you but on a Saturday night 8 pm booking, I'm not there to be rushed through my meal just so that the restaurant can squeeze some more covers in before 10 pm! The belly pork (one of their signature dishes) needed some more longer slower cooking and my wifes salmon was brought back so quickly after they'd accidentally coated in sauce that it was clear that these dishes are not freshly cooked to order but pre par cooked and then finished for speed. If I'd wanted fast food I'd have gone elsewhere. all in all a very rushed and slightly disappointed experience. Finally, my wife hit her head twice whilst going to the loo. Very low ceiling but no signs warning the unsuspecting customer. This place needs to sharpen up its act!

Fantastic food beautifully cooked especially Wednesday steak night, served in friendly surroundings. Great selection on the menu and really good portions, no one comes away hungry.

their fish and chips are to die for !!! the fish is always fresh,and chunky and especially if you get a large cod its huge. staff friendly , good food , nothing else to say really except try it , you won't be disappointed !!!

This is a small family run restaurant with family links to the Royal Spice at Darton which was awarded the first ever 10/10 for alround food and service quality. What can we say but the palace Tandoori rivals the Royal Spice and has also been awarded a 10/10. Food excellent, service very good and very friendly. Bring your own booze keeps costs low. Booking is a must as it gets very busy - but is certainly worth a visit.
