Reviews in Todmorden

Great food great service.

Went for a sunday lunch 4* food, found it to be better when you used to get your own individual veg portion instead of a sharing bowl. The beef was lovely and you got a lot of it, my only fault on the food is that the last couple of times I have been the roasties have been quite hard, but other than that food is fab! You get a much better dining experience when you are sat in the restaurant not so good if you end up being sat in the bar area. Waitresses were all nice and polite, but I didn't like being questioned as to why I needed a spoon when I asked for one at the bar (I didn't receive one with my veg or cauliflower cheese). Quick service and reasonably priced always busy on a Sunday so make sure you book in advance so not to be disappointed. Will visit again!

Food was nice , but took a long time to be even noticed at the bar , ordered sunday dinners and was given no veg , asked a member of staff for veg again and non turned up ,,

Great place, staff and food. There are gluten free options in both food and beer. Was crazy busy in the Gallery but nice and quiet in the bar. Will certainly be back.

Lovely meal, polite staff would visit again

Lovely food, great salads, all fresh and delicious Service was spot on with helpful friendly staff. Organic wine was good too, even the decaf coffee was lovely! Will be back soon.

Very disappointed. We waited a long time for each course the starters were good, when the main courses eventually came the roasts were good but one of our party had a burger but that was overcooked, there was a lot of staff about but nobody taking notice when we wanted them. Asked for dessert there were 2 missing the ones we wanted and it wasn’t late 3 asked for coffee but the machine was broken but could have instant, then another member of staff came and said we couldn’t? Everything took along time even the children were getting board and they had a play area. More organisation 2 1/2 hours for Sunday dinner !

Our first time eating at the Shepherds Rest, and it won't be our last. Had the Sunday Roast, which was really delicious and good value. All of the staff were terrific too - helpful, friendly and welcoming.

Just had another excellent meal here. Great food, great service and excellent staff! It’s great to see so many young people obviously enjoying the work they are doing there (not just waiting on but in all key roles). It’s become our favourite place to eat in Todmorden!

The food was lovely the service was very good and all the staff were very pleasant and very helpful

A party of three of us visited the Shephed's Rest for an evening meal and were not disappointed. The staff were friendly, welcoming, polite and helpful. We all chose something different and all were delighted with our choices. I had the gammon and can honestly say that it was the best I've ever had. Very lean, beautifully presented and cooked to perfection. Iam sure that we will be returning soon.

We had 3 meals. Burger, Lamb Shank, vegan shepards pie. All 3 were exellent. Good quality food at a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend "The Shepards" to anybody. Also the Staff are very attentive. And very professional too.

Had a lovely birthday celebration lunch yesterday. The Shepherds pie was delicious, the best I've ever tasted. Staff were very friendly & attentive, gave my dog some yummy treats. The views and setting are beautiful. Would highly recommend this cosy, friendly country pub.

First time visitor, being meaning to try for ages, we weren’t disappointed it was a busy Sunday but staff were very polite, welcoming and helpful, we pre booked a table and were given one with a stunning view near the window, drinks order was taken and delivered quickly, same for the food, we had the giant yorkie sharing board it was very filling and good quality. All in all a really good experience, we will be returning very soon!

Excellent food and service special thanks to Declan always on point never a problem.

Great food, great service. Simple.

We visited three times during our stay in Todmorden. Fabulous food. The meatballs were exceptional, as were the shepherd's pie and the fish pie. The lemon merengue sundae was amazing. Really fresh, high quality, local produce. Portions are generous. Ask for a table in the back with fabulous view over the moors. Bank holiday weekend, so a few things on the menu were not available but there were plenty of alternatives. Would be good if staff warned what is not available when they give out menus. Staff are friendly and warm. Highly recommend. Hope to return one day!
