Early dinner as we're up early to catch our flight back home, TEXAS, USA!!…read moreThis used to be somewhere we visited when we lived here 40 years ago. I must say it did not disappoint!! The cassoulet of wild mushrooms with gruyere is an outstanding (starter) dish, tried to get recipe from chef but he told me it was a secret Kenyan recipe!! Don't think I believe him but that's ok! I'll deconstruct and get it close!!! Two beer battered fish with chips and puréed peas (mushy peas!!) that we're awesome according to my sis & hubby. I had the lamb shank, served with mash, green beans, carrots and parsnip. Meat was so tender and the rich gravy just put it OTT! Sorry though that they don't serve the giant Yorkshire Puddings with either beef or sausage!! Maybe on our next visit????? Service was wonderful, great team work and we really appreciated the dance moves and heel clicking from behind the bar!!!!! A great time was had by all.

All you want from a pub in a small village, always has good ales that swap round regularly and an…read moreopen fire in the dining room. The food is plentiful, and very good for the price, staff always really friendly. Basically if you want an inexpensive sunday lunch out this is spot on. Fantastic views from walks round the reservoir and hills over meltham so this is a nice reward.

Perfect Yorkshire Pub. Easy parking, friendly owner, quiet comfortable dining area,and excellent…read morefood. The owner let my mister sample a couple of beers so he could decide which one he wanted to order. We had the fried brie with sweet onion starter, vegetarian tart (egg and cheese with tomato, olives, and basil) and mushroom stroganoff. I have been seriously craving Yorkshire pudding, but it is hard to find a good vegetarian gravy. The owner happily substituted Yorkshire pudding for the rice with my Stroganoff, and it was delicious - Like a creamy mushroom and onion gravy. We went on a quiet Sunday night and most of the other customers were regulars. I can see why. We would be too if we lived a bit closer :) They even have a kid's menu.

Although The Ford Inn is a little out of the way, up above Holmfirth at the edge of Saddleworth…read moreMoor, it is definitely well worth a visit. At this traditional stone pub, which is over 300 years old, you will always receive a very warm welcome, both from the staff and the roaring log fires! There is a large car park, but unfortunately no bus service. The Ford Inn has a lovely menu of home cooked meals, our favourite is the Cod Topper but we never had anything we didn't like. The deserts are heavenly too, and the prices are very reasonable.

If you like a quiet evening with good food and friendly staff this is the place. The menu is…read morevaried but the food is excellent. The other day I had Ox Stew with dumplings, the quantity was really good the content was magnificent. I am very fussy with stews and things and this was little out of the ordinary but the meat melted in the mouth, the dumplings were filling without being heavy and the gravy was just delicious. My husband had the leg of duck done in a heavenly sauce served with a Herb Rice pot. I know it was good cause he never opened his mouth to talk the whole meal just made these mewling noises at one point I looked around to see if there were a cat. The locals come in for a pint and a chat and the pub runs some themed eveings you know the usual kind of quiz nite sort of thing but I also believe they have an open mike night on a Thursday but not sure about that. The pub is under new ownership and it shows to the good.

A real pub. No food but great beer and a good atmosphere.read more
