Best find on holiday ever!!…read more Set in a beautiful little village with a huge village green with loads of parking round and about (although im sure that on a mid summer sunny day parking may be somewhat difficult!). The pub has a bar area and a restaurant area - we only ever went into the bar as you could eat int here and it was really cosy (dogs are also allowed!). The staff were incredibly friendly and chatty (lets face it, Yorkshire, particularly North Yorkshire folk are possibly the most friendly on the planet - i challenge you to disprove this!). The food was INCREDIBLE. Nothing fancy pants, just really good food, VERY big portions (trust me on this, you dont need three courses - choose your weapon of starter or dessert to go alongside your main - we made the mistake one night and 1) couldnt eat it all and 2)pretty much rolled home). We spent an evening in the pub, had a meal and then sat playing card games - we felt incredibly welcome. So welcome that we ended up visiting three times in a week long holiday. You cant really get a better recommendation than that can you??

As secluded as it is there is another hotel/restaurant nearby which we enjoyed better.

Monkey is the dog. Lola is the other dog but she doesn't like me talking about her behind her back so to save time let's just say Monkey is the cuddly one. *looks round nervously to check I'm not being watched* East Keswick is just up Wetherby Road- and the great news is you can get the 98 and 99 buses from town to RIGHT OUTSIDE THE DAMN PUB DOOR! Can't argue with that logic. The pub has a Snug at the front where dogs of all shapes, sizes and aromas are made to feel truly welcome. There's a tv for catching up with sports, an open fire, a doggly bowl and some cracking local beers and ales on offer. I had a pint of Mary Jane from the Ilkley Brewery and it was luscious. We'd first bunged the dogs in the car and had lunch in the restaurant part of the pub- which in contrast to the homely snug is really pretty classy for a pub meal. I think an evening meal here would impress. The staff were warm and welcoming and we had 3 courses for £15.95 each, with a decent bottle of red wine this brought the bill to just over £50, which is pretty reasonable for doing it 'all' and less pricey options were available e.g 2 courses for £12.95. This is for Sunday Lunch and there are weekday menus too. To start I had chicken liver pate which was smooth with a decent portion of chutney. Ade had ham terrine which was again sizeable and competently done. Both dishes were well presented and came with Melba toast. All very very good fare. For mains I went for the lamb cutlets and Ade the beef roast. The portions were again pretty sizeable, the roasts generous, crisp yet fluffy, mixed veg was properly al dente and had nice variety.....but it was the lamb that really stood out above everything else. Four almost fist sized hunks of perfectly cooked quality meat, pink on the inside, melt in the mouth and with a subtle and creamy peppercorn sauce to lubricate the GIANT mouthfuls I was pushing into my greedy face. It was sublime and my pleasure sensors were bordering on ridiculous. All this scumptiousness was topped off by Ade's dense and super sweet Sticky Toffee Pudding and the heavenly dark matter that made up my Hot Chocolate Fudge Cake. Yes. Yes yes yes yes yes. We staggered back to the car to 'release the hounds' and then enjoyed the friendly snug for a slow drinking pint as we digested our heavy yet heavenly loads. Monkey in particular made SUCH a friend of the barman that every time he passed by and patted her head she jumped up, wrapped her front paws around his thigh and tried to walk off with him. I thoroughly recommend The Duke of Wellington if you are out that way, and as a diversion for excellent food/drinks and company even if you are not. With a bus to and from the door there's no excuse my little Leodensians, go get some fresh air and hearty fare.

A wonderful English pub nestled in a beautiful location, the decor is traditional pub but with modern upgrades to the bar, but its the food that's the real winner here. Specials listed on chalkboards around the pub offer alternates to the solid menu, i really wished i could have ordered about 5 appetizers and 6 main's but alas, only one stomach! Prawn cocktail app was traditional English, small prawns in a delicious marie rose sauce with a few slices of granary bread, this was a huge serving, could almost feed two (but there was no way i was sharing!) For mains i went light, grilled salmon with baked potato with seasonal veggies, absolutely cooked to perfection grilled salmon with a decent sized potato with carrots and green beans. Other winners at our table were the Sunday roast, meat and potato pie, ribs and chicken and the southern fried chicken. Great value, clean, and a well diverse menu make The Railway one of my favorite places to visit when i'm in England.

You can always get a really good feed, with food ranging from hearty pasta dishes to Asian favourites like Thai green curry etc. Maybe none of the food is particularly groundbreaking, but it's hard to bear for value for money and me and my wife often come here when we have someone to look after the kids. There's plenty of space and the pricing is very fair for what you get. Only minor quibble might be that the music is sometimes a little on the loud side and I always feel vaguely rushed when that's the case, but like I say: a minor quibble in what is otherwise a very nice little local haunt.

I was in a party of 3 that dined at the Yorkshire Rose in Huddersfield. The venue is a good size…read moreand has seating inside and outside. The aesthetics of the venue are good and the waiter service was good. This leads me to the food and the cons of their service. This review is based on my dining experience. It was a Saturday evening and I had noticed that half a dozen tables, at the most, had been occupied. The food order was initially for the hand battered Atlantic cod and chips, bbq burger and the cauliflower and red pepper curry. I say initially because the party then discovered that the fish and curry choices were not a available. The order was then changed to include the classic burger and the vegetable chilli. The food arrived and the party tucked in. I ordered the vegetable chilli that had a 2 chilli rating. Next, I will repeat the name of the order again but this time with emphasis on the name as being a "vegetable" chilli. The reason that I emphasise it is because the offering was very light on the vegetables. See for yourself in the picture. I forked the meal in search for them... Also, and possibly a mistake on my part, I'd read a meat-free mince as being a quorn or plant based mince though that also seemed to be missing from this serving thus, I assume, the narrative is meaning that it is literally, not included...free from being in the meal. It was certainly not of a volume that was noticeable. The tortilla chips in the picture are as they were served. The odd whole one but mostly broken. To add to it, the tortilla chips were also soft and warm. They didn't crunch, tasted cheap and old. The sauces was palatable and I can only figure that the chilli heat rating was because it was served with jalapenos... The observation issues were raised, before eating the meal, with a waiter only to be informed (after they had checked with their management/chef), that the offering was standard for the venue leaving this customer very surprised and disappointed. Overall, and trying to find a postive here, the taste was okay (no higher) for the serving (the exception being the tortilla chips that were poor). Next, I will assert that the prices for the meals and drinks are high for what you receive. The said called vegetable chilli cost a whopping £10.95!. Also, the non alcoholic ale was not in the fridge and served from the back which added to the growing perceived standards of the venue. Based on the reaction of the serving waiter of not finding the alcohol free ale in the fridge, I didn't feel it was the first time it had happened. Overall, the aesthetics of the venue itself are good though I can't resist using the saying of "Don't judge a book by it's cover". This is a deceiving venue and i definitely won't be dining there again. Based on this experience, I would encourage the venue to review the management team because it needs improvement!

The Yorkshire Rose is a Pub/Restaurant and it's very nice inside and outside…read more They have disabled parking there, outside benched tables where you can smoke/drink etc We went here with friends and it was quite packed so we sat near the childrens section lol. They have a little play corner for the under 5's but it's near to the kitchen doors which I can see an accident involving a toddler and a rushed waiter happening We ordered our food and drinks and you pay up front for this. Me and a friend had a Cola, her husband had a pint of fosters and my husband had a bulmers. The Fosters tasted weird and so we asked for it to be changed and it was promptly replaced by a better tasting one so perhaps the last one was the end of barrel or a dirty glass or something? We all had starters. Both us girls had Nachos which came with a lovely creamy dip and a spicy salsa. My husband had Potato skins which he enjoyed and the other husband had garlic mushrooms which he enjoyed too. Next was our main meals. Our friends and my husband had burgers (Ranch and some other one) and they all loved it! Apparently it was the best burger they'd ever had. I had the Ale and Hearty Pie which chips and peas, it came with garden peas, but they allowed me to change it to mushy peas instead. The pie was LUSHNESS! I've never had such a lovely pie and I stuffed as much as I could down my throat and I was WAY past the stage of feeling full, I was so upset that I couldn't fit it all in lol. Will deffinately be visiting again! All main meals are 2for1 and meals vary from about £7/8 £13
