Cat I' the Well Pub in Calderdale

Beautiful location for this pub, friendly service. Nice beer, clean loo’s. We sat outside on a beautiful sunny afternoon. - parasols or some shade would have been useful? It is set on its own, in a little dell you sense the history and quaint atmosphere of the place. We enjoyed a couple of beers before the sun got too hot, maybe take a hat? Well kept enclosed beer garden, with well spaced out seating.

Ordered steak pie & Chicken burger. The pastry on the bottom was very doughy under cooked . The Chicken burger came with salad on a HOT plate and the bottom of the bun was also soggy. To top it off the waitress asked us if we wanted the change back when we paid. All in all it the best.

Fabulous evening with fabulous food. So impressed. Will definitely be going back for another occasion

Sat out at this beautiful pub in the beer garden , gorgeous views ,very welcoming staff,had something to eat and everything was lovely ,very traditional little pub in a lovely setting ,will definitely be back !!! And highly recommend.

We stumbled on this fantastastic place by accident if you pass it by you'll have missed a real treat. Full of character and charm and very welcoming to all, definitely recommended.

Lovely country pub with excellent atmosphere didn't try the meals just sat in the beer garden looking at the stunning views staff were welcoming particularly the one lady who used to live near Lincoln were we are from we would highly recommend this pub

Arrived early, and had a warm welcome, and for my first visit to the area this was a pleasant surprise. I had a coffee by the roaring log fire: the coffee was first rate, which bode well for the meal to come. When we were gathered and seated I chose the home made steak and ale pie, and it was delicious: not a morsel left on the plate. Others had fish and chips, and blimey what beautiful fish they were. The gammon steak also went down very well, and the three children's meals were eagerly devoured leaving not a trace of food on the plates. This was on December 31st. I will definitely be returning in Spring or Summer. I highly recommend The Cat i' The Well. Many thanks to the owners and the staff? A delightful way to end the year.

What a find! Cosy, pub with real fire, welcoming landlord and delicious, reasonable menu. Well worth a visit.

Lovely fire in winter and great beer and atmosphere in wonderful Calderdale setting. Been a few times and would highly recommend

We have been here a few times and always had a good meal so not sure what's going wrong BUT Went as a group of 4 for Mothers day. When I booked they didn't let me know they didn't have a full menu on (mistake no 1). Table was booked for 1pm the choice was very poor. We got there it was not busy but slow service to start off with, we asked if there was any other choices and asked if there was a pie, (they had sold out), we saw someone getting a baguette but when asked they weren't doing them(!!). Eventually the food came, Food wasn't bad but I asked for more gravy that never came, and food came staggered. Then (why when food took so long I'm not sure!!) we ordered desserts (Big mistake) None came for ages then Apple crumble came with 3 scoops of ice cream Strawberry, vanilla and chocolate ( - mmm No), the 3rd Apple crumble came eventually with custard, my chocolate fudge came with Chocolate Ice cream I asked for it to be changed for vanilla ice cream (and actually said "Just scoop it off and put vanilla on please) I never saw it again!!! Overall a very disappointing experience. Something was knocked off bill but as I was being treat not sure what. Hope they get their act back together as a very quaint pub in a beautiful spot.

Me and a friend took our kids this weekend for Sunday lunch since we had found out the kitchen had been taken over recently. we couldn't fault the food, so tasty, a real plate full... we couldn't manage a dessert even though we wanted to! All the food is very reasonably priced for what you got, there is no kids menu the chef just adapts what is on the main menu into a kids portion! which is think is great because they cannot just have the usual kids rubbish like nuggets etc. The chef told us about a family day they are having on Easter Sunday, where they plan to have bouncy castles, Easter egg hunt and food... we will defiantly be attending!

"Its still a Pub" but offers some great food choices. A new BBQ has been installed and judging by the trial run during the recent unexpected sunny spell it will be a great addition as the weather picks up. Beer garden is ideal for the Kids. Inside and when the weather is a little inclement, a roaring fire offers a welcome. The beer is well kept and the staff are very pleasant. Its worth the trip out.

The food is fantastic an innovative new chef with a diverse range of cuisine would highly reccommend. Nothing is too much trouble and very accommodating

We came here as a group of ten people for a pub lunch on our festive New Year walk and loved it. The pub was so cosy with it's wooden panels, beams and crackling fire. Perfect after a very wet rainy walk in Luddenden Dean Valley. After our friendly welcome from the staff we sat in the pub area first, drying off by the fire and enjoying the lovely pub atmosphere. We then moved to the dining area and all had delecious meals. The top favourite being the steak and ale pie with chips and veg. Definitely recommend!

Our favorite local but also the place we always take visitors to the area. The best of all that is good about an English Country pub. Very well maintained, nice beer and food and very nice staff to top it off. Thankyou!!

Volver de vacaciones y no te gusta cocinar, así que pensamos en probar la comida en este pub para un cambio. Normalmente, cuando hemos visitado antes de que sea demasiado tarde para las cocinas, pero en esta ocasión estaban todavía sirve. Sin embargo, la comida fue decepcionante y no vale la pena la espera. Pedí pescado y patatas fritas, que era una gran porción, pero demasiado seco preparada y. Mi compañero tenía la carne (solomillo), creo que es bastante duro y pobre calidad de carne. Finalmente, cuando pagamos la factura con tarjetas inteligentes sin contacto, la cajera insistió en que la máquina no me generará un recibo para el pago. No planea volver

We went here for a beer and family lunch -three of us chose baguettes with fillings and really they were quite disappointing- also much to my husbands disappointment the Timothy Taylor's beer was quite indifferent! Not sure I would go back here for food.

Mi compañero y hemos comido varias veces en este pub, el personal siempre nos ha parecido muy amable y acogedor. Nunca una larga espera para la comida una vez ordenados y siempre con una sonrisa. No te apresuran dejar, que algunas veces se encuentran ocupados, pero incluso cuando en Navidad, cuando fueron muy ocupados nos metieron en sin ningún problema y no nos rush fuera de la puerta. Hemos tenido algo diferente cada vez que hemos ido y siempre ha sido genial. Ambiente encantador y acogedor pub país verdaderamente.

Reservamos una mesa para cuatro en el martes antes de navidad para la cena esperaba que estuviera lleno. De hecho, estaba vacía, que éramos las únicas personas cenando. Pedimos nuestras bebidas en el bar, pedí a mi esposa un mango manzana J2O tras la primera confirmando que había algunos, ella se servía un sabor diferente y sólo me dijeron que "no tenemos Apple Mango". No había disculpa o ofrecen a cambio la bebida a algo más. Nos sentamos en nuestra mesa y pedimos directamente. No tuvimos que esperar para empezar así el plato principal es de esperar, pero parecía que 40 minutos lo que parecía un poco excesivo dado que nadie más estaba comiendo. El plato principal era muy bueno, tenía la fajitas Grill con una mezcla de comidas calientes y realmente lo disfruté. El postre no era tan buena, tarta de manzana y crema pastelera, pero la tarta de manzana tenía un envenenamiento a la sabor que era desagradable, y algunas realmente difíciles en los bordes quemados bits. Es una pena porque es un lugar muy agradable en el país, Escondida, pero no era nada especial, mimado por un mal servicio.

Fuimos un domingo por la tarde y el ambiente era fantástico. Mi marido y yo no podía decidir qué tener desde el menú variado y decidimos tener un sándwich caliente de carne y un sándwich blt y un plato de patatas fritas para compartir. Ambos venían con una ensalada de sándwiches frescos laterales y las patatas fritas eran caseras las rústicas. El chef vino a preguntarme si todo estaba bien y mi marido me dijo que ella era el mejor sandwich de carne caliente que tenía! Alabanza de él como él de hecho es muy delicada. ! ! Terminamos con una deliciosa tarta de queso y crema. berry Recomiendo encarecidamente la comida y ambiente acogedor y volveremos muy pronto.

Visité este pub en un frío domingos a la hora del almuerzo, así que estaba encantado de conocer el fuego estaba encendido. Yo vine con mi amigo después de un largo paseo por el valle. Tuve una cena de carne y mi amigo tenía carne tarta casera y ale. Absolutamente excelente. La cerveza y la comida era perfecta. La camarera y la camarera era muy hablador y nos cuidaron muy bien. No podía hacer lo suficiente para nosotros, que era preciosa. Sin duda recomendaría este pequeño pub país y volveré en el próximo par de semanas.

Es un pub encantador, con un incendio real. En un lugar encantador, el personal era realmente amable y la mano cervezas eran sin duda agradable. Sin embargo, llamamos por la comida y que no era tan bueno. Antes de examinar la comida tengo que decir que estaban anunciando para chef y personal. Éramos siete y decidimos compartir entrantes. fueron traídos y a la izquierda en la mesa. tuve que conseguir los cubiertos, no había platos, así que tuvimos que encontrar la camarera y preguntar. Ella trajo cuatro. Compartir es sin duda. Mi hermano y yo pedimos filetes de costilla, recibimos el solomillo. Pero eso es lo suficientemente cerca. Era tan duro que ambos media izquierda. Alguien había pescado y patatas, el pescado estaba seco y algo nuevo. patatas fritas era encantador. alguien dejó su hamburguesa

Great location just a little bit out of the way - but well worth the little bit of effort to get there for the quality of food and beer

We visited on a Friday evening setting off for a walk from a packed car park. Thankfully by the time we returned there was a free table. We battled through a crowded bar for drinks so were delighted when a waitress took our order at the table. 5 different meals - excellent fish and chips, homemade lasagne, steak and ale pie, gammon and scampi. All meals were good and the huge chips were particularly scrummy. All in all a great meal in a pleasant pub with a real fire!

A fabulous character country pub in a wonderful location. Great Taylor's beer and very good home made cooking. Homely atmosphere and local banter!

Nice food, staff and service. The belly pork given to the customers as a treat was exceptional - a lovely little touch to add to the Cat Ith Wel experience.

A bit tricky to find but definitely worth it! Beautiful country pub with roaring fire..very welcome after a biting walk around the local area. I had the steak burger and hubby had gammon, both cooked to perfection and service was fast. Didn't want to leave, highly recommended..didn't want to leave but will be back soon

Amazing pub find ! Unexpectedly perfect - after a beautiful walk through Jerusalem Farm we came across this pub which was exactly how a pub should be ! Open fire , comfortable seating , friendly people , great beer and really good food ( best chips I've ever had ) .

I haven't actually been here, but fancied it after reading a bit about it. Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed in the pub, so we didn't book. But it's always useful to know these things.

Ten of us booked an evening meal here for a birthday on a Saturday evening.Eight of us were sat together, the other two were on a separate table... very odd.The choice of food was very limited, some meals on the menu were not available. There were no meals on the blackboard as suggested on the menu and no chefs special. So it was very disappointing.The chef/owner was not a bit interested and very dismissive of us when we asked about the Yorkshire puddings which were missing off the Roast beef.The veg were good, cauliflower, broccoli and swede as were the chips.

We were a party of 10, 2 were seated separately with no explanation. We were waiting for about 20 minutes for someone to take our order and ages for the food to come. Being generous I could say it was the number of meals but I do not think this was the case. Some (3) of the meals were listed as having Yorkshire puddings as an accompaniament, these did not arrive. When we asked the waitress she went to enquire and were told they had "run out".how on earth a supposedly excellent pub/ restaurant could do this defies logic especially when we spoke to the chef/owner/manager he stated his Yokshire puds were wonderful.The Chilli portion was OK for a child but certainly not an adult and as we found out later the chicken was only warm (this was not mentioned until after we left). None of the meals were generously sized portions.When we complained,the chef (or whatever position he held) tried to blame the waitress. He offered no apology and only when challenged gave us £1.50 off the bill,50p per pudding!!Two of our party were not local and do dine out often as do we all, they ( nor us)will be recommending this place to anyone, quite the reverse in fact.

Stumbled upon this quaint little pub whilst out for saturday lunch with my daughter and my grandaughter. Lovely staff.very efficient. Very welcoming, even the pubs cat. The food was lovely and great choice & value too.

This pub is great. Lovely atmosphere and in beautiful surroundings. The staff are friendly and helpful.Food is good and well priced. Good range of beers and sells strongbow. Excellent sized beer garden and parking is ample. Well worth a visit.

Hidden away in Luddenden valley we came across cat l' the well pub so decided to pop in for some lunch.Ordered some food from a very very limited menu the food we ordered was ok but nothing special or adventurous Our pints of bitter were nice not cold which you tend to get.Only a couple of people were in the pub which considering it was a sunny warm Saturday afternoon could mean not a very popular place.The pub has a old charm to it, I would say make up your own mind on cat l' the well pub.

Unfortunately The Cat I'the Well seems to have gone down hill rapidly of recent times.On our recent visit in April we sat in the garden and had to look at the remains of the November bonfire whilst sitting amongst uncleared beer glasses, crisp packets and general rubbish floating around us like tumbleweed.If you fancy looking at old bits of plastic,pallets or any other detritus have a look around.Not much in the way of floral displays going on here.The food is distinctly average with the same old and tired menu that has been going for years. Edible,but without care or attention. Condiments arrive in packets that blow away if indeed there is anything in them in the first place.The pub was empty on a sunny Friday lunchtime.This speaks volumes and people are obviously voting with their feet.I have no intention of kicking someone when they are down,but it just appears to be sheer laziness that holds this wonderful historic pub back.Unless things change I find that I can neither visit nor recommend this establishment to friends or colleagues.Hopefully there is change waiting around the corner.

great put great people good atmosphere was exACTLY what we needed to have some family time ANd a catch up with a few friedns with good beer would deffo recommend to anyone of my friends well done guy .

Called in for beer, Nice hand pulled beers, country style interior, friendley staff, ordered roast beef and chicken baggets excellent, home made gravey and value for money . PS real fire which is enviting on a cold day, Nice and snug . Planning next visit soon with friends.

Only called in briefly whilst walking, nice and cosy, nice fire and friendly service. Timothy Taylor's on the pumps, worth looking in if your passing.

If you love great beer then you will rarely go wrong with Timothy Taylor's beers. This pub serves Taylor's beers perfectly and is a great local pub unspoiled by the trend for makeovers and "gastro pretentiousness".

After hearing some good reports about the homecooked food I reserved a table for my family of six. We received a warm welcome and our table was awaiting us, all staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The menu is varied and reasonably priced, we ordered from the menu, the specials board and the early bird menu (£5) We were not disappointed, large portions, hand-cut chips, quality meat and freshly prepared salads................my family enjoyed it so much we have booked again for Easter Sunday This quaint little pub is now a firm favourite!!!!!!

We called on a sunny Saturday afternoon hoping for something to eat after a long walk. They didn't seem too pleased to be serving us and said they were about to stop serving. The people that arrived after us hoping for food and not getting any were probably the lucky ones. The thing I asked for was sold out and they told us they didn't have any chips either! How can a pub selling food run out of chips? I eventually just ordered a ham sandwich. Because this was just a tad under £6 I was expecting a something pretty amazing. It was actually some tasteless ham in between 2 slices of very dry brown bread - they had also run out of baguettes - with a bit of bought coleslaw and lettuce on the side. The knives, forks and condiments were brought to the table in a rusty metal container meant to look like a miniature bucket. My friend got an equally miserable sandwich and my partner a tasteless baked potato. one week on and I still keep thinking six quid for 2 stale slices of bread with some slimy ham! The pub itself has character and some nice beers. The setting is also lovely. Did I just get them at a bad time? For this money I don't think they should have bad times.

Sadly they don't seem to do a steak night any more, but 4 of us enjoyed lovely steak meals last night. The atmosphere is lovely in there with very friendly staff, and Alex is always welcoming. Lovely beer garden (with gorgeous country views), so you can take the dogs along too. Lots of outside tables to sit at.

Our son and daughter-in-law took us out for a light lunch on a sunny Sunday. We stopped at the T Cat, a country pub with tables outside where we could sit and enjoy the lovely view. We all chose turkey panini with chips and a small salad. The food could not be faulted; freshly cooked chips, a generous portion of meat and a good side-salad. The waitress was very pleasant and even offered to go back and get our dog a bowl of water. After our meal, we went on a circular walk to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. I'd definitely recommend this pub.

Unless you know the area this hostelry can be somewhat hard to find. It is down in the valley near Shibden Park and the road is not a thoroughfare so you definitely have to know where to go. Once inside this hostelry it is small and very welcoming. Would call more often if it was more accessible.

Upon stumbling upon this quaint pub, I found the staff very warm & welcoming to 2 complete strangers. The roaring fires made or afternoon very pleasant after a cold days walking in the beautiful surrounding country side. The meal was excellent possibly one of the best steaks I've ever had! The real ale was also spot on maybe too good! A fantastic pub, and Alex was a very friendly & welcoming landlord

We called at the CAT I'TH WELL for a meal one evening, the food was ok but average, I opted for the mixed grill & the meat was not very good quality, I have had better food at inns around the area although they do keep a good pint.

We visited this pub for Sunday lunch having stopped for a drink on previous occasions. The pub is beautifully situated on a no through road, next to a beck, with benches on a grassy garden area. The inside is a lovely shabby old fashioned pub with open fires. So far so good. We ordered our food, bought some drinks (well kept Timothy Taylors) went outside, and waited, and waited and waited. There were three other tables full outside, and two inside, one of each already eating when we arrived. We saw the waitress serve one table outside, and then a group who had arrived after us were brought some food. By this time we were contemplating eating the bench legs. We had worked our way through all the quiz questions in the pub speak paper. The young waitress was obviously too inexperienced to deal with hungry, and increasingly annoyed clientele, and we eventually received our meal, after an hour and a half and 4 requests. Some of the food was wrong, and the salad wasn't dressed. We won't be going back for food again. Just stick to the beer, and eat elsewhere.
