Cat I'th Well in Calderdale

Lovely little pub, friendly staff, well worth the walk! 🙌🏻

Great little pub with a big beer garden!

Although there is no food service at the moment this is an excellent friendly place with a great landlord, Alex and lovely bar staff and customers. A real community pub with real people. Highly recommended.

Excellent country pub, good selection of beer. Great outdoor space with good views down the valley. I'm not sure about food as we didn't look.

Beautiful country pub. Friendly locals and a welcoming landlord!

No food currently due to injury, however, what an amazing Country pub with a fascinating history and stunning cosy interior. Open fire, beams, friendly staff, amazing views. Motorhome welcome. The best pub I've been to in the last 12 months!

What a great pub,fantastic location, beer garden for when it's warmer, dog friendly, log fire, friendly helpful staff, big car park what more do you want...they had a few beers from local brewery's too...can't wait to go back.

Sat nav takes you down a cart track , so use map, beer garden just grass and benches nothing special , tatty unusable swing in a corner, views none except a duck pond, Beer expensive compared to area , think sometime ago was good but just fair now , not worth a journey to there.

Quintessential Yorkshire pub in a quiet part of the countryside.

You are highly unlikely to just drive past the Cat (you're more likely to be walking) but if you are, you must call in. We've not eaten for a while, but call in for a pint of Landlord and are never disappointed. Room to park, and lots of room to sit outside, a good selection of drinks and very friendly staff, make the Cat a must visit.

Positives: Bar staff were friendly, location and views are lovely, big beer garden. Negatives: had run out of the drink I wanted, don't serve food, and I got heckled on my way in by customers sat outside & noticed the same thing happening to multiple women. The 'play area' was a swing set with no swings and none of the outside benches have shade or a working umbrella. Weird smell.

Great pub with lovely people and a fantastic beer garden

Just called in for a drink on the motorbike with a pal. Very welcoming , great service and lovely beer garden with a view.

Very friendly staff. Good beer. Lovely view

Loads if outside tables for sunny weather and open fires indoors for the bad weather. Good beer, great selection of whisky and gin, average price

Trying to find menu online. All I can find is a photo of your menu over fireplace .... can't read it. I'll go somewhere else

Great bar staff and locals will talk to you

Stopped off during a dog walk. Local Beer was good. They let dogs in but don't serve food on Mon Tues or Wed's... bit disappointed about the food thing but everything else was great

We went at lunchtime and had the beef pie it was excellent. The meat was so tender the chips were divine, definitely going back .

We have just had lunch at the 'Catty' and unfortunalty the food wasn't good at all, it was not what was described in the menu, and was a poor example of pub food, with it also taking 1 hour to arrive at the table with us being the only dinners in the pub at the time, for 5 simple lunches.

Best pub ever! Friendly staff, locals and the food is amazing. Sitting by the beautiful open fire =heaven. My husband and I love it here.

Food was plentiful and good quality. Staff were very nice but seemed extremely busy and a bit abandoned by management.

Cobwebs in the corner of our table, slow service and food was cold, we ordered steak pie came with chips and veg, gravy tasted like packet gravy and lumpy, food really tasteless and the beverages were terrible cheap teabag and cheap coffee, we had to wait nearly an hour before our food arrived terrible waste of money

Lovely pub, great example of a traditional British pub, albeit on the small side. Food was good. Pie and a pint after a long walk kinda place.

Great service and good grub today in this lovely, traditional, country pub. We really enjoyed it and we will definitely return

We popped in Sunday after wanting to try here for a while. Very friendly staff and was seated quickly, drinks bought over. We were with our 2 year old son who loved it in there. Staff were very accommodating and the food was delicious. The beef for the Sunday roast was cooked to perfection. Highly recommend and we will be back

Beautiful pub, beautiful beers 🍻

(Nov 2022) New to the area but feeling more of a local; we love popping in to the ‘Catty’ on our round trip walks around the area. Today, we stopped by for lunch having seen the kitchen renovated (delayed) during COVID and keen to find a pub we love - serve some food which I think started again in August 2022 after a challenging period to update the kitchen and hire staff. We stopped for Sunday lunch (1pm) today with my 11 year old. Was a little disappointed by the language used by some who were sitting by the bar - F’ing and blinding. I would have hoped the bar staff may have asked them to speak a little quietly, but nothing. They clearly knew them as they were having a good chat. Thankfully the pub filled up with lunch goers and luckily it drowned out the language. I swear too, but it was literally every sentence. I’d hate to run a business where customers popped in and ruined the atmosphere for others. Other than that, we were first to order as there was no one else eating. Steak and ale pie, Cajun cauliflower and chicken burger and chips. The food took a good while to arrive. It was nice, but not amazing. The steak and ale / vegetables were soggy and had no life left in them. The burger was well stacked / presented. Chips were good but too big; prefer fries. The cauliflower Cajun was lovely and a great menu idea. N.b. There was NO lemon in stock for the Gin and Tonic. 😱 Service was friendly and polite. Lovely atmosphere (other than the swearing). Was unable to setup a tab meant it was pay as you go for every order, so that meant paying three times at the bar for x2 rounds of drinks and the food. It doesn’t instil any trust. Some possible fixes: 1. Menu on display 2. Cutlery and sauces on all tables 3. Lots of napkins 4. Set up table numbers and tabs; leave cards behind the bar. 5. Buy lots of lemons 6. Turn the music up to drown out the swearing 7. Put the fire on dining area 8. Mark out the paint again in the car park to help people park a little better. 9. Fill the dog bowls with water; have a dog biscuit jar I’ve swapped my 5 stars to 4 stars for now and will come back and try the food / service again. It’s a fab spot, but getting some of the smaller details right would make it a great place for all visitors. (Aug 2021) I love this pub! Such lovely decor and memorabilia. Sometimes the landlord is at the bar and is very chatty about the area, history and pub plans. You’re likely to see some hikers, local farmers in their wellies, locals with their dogs etc.

Very good Sunday roast, excellent Boltmaker. Quiet at the start and became busy. Dog friendly.

Stopped off here after a tough few hours on the moors, the welcome was startling, lots of lovely ,interesting people !!

Good honest food. Small menu beautifully prepared and very tasty. Reasonable price too.

Wonderful food and friendly staff. My only issue is the 70 minutes it took for our food to arrive. Thankfully no one ordered a starter as I'm sure we'd still be sat there waiting.

I called in for a swift half after first visiting this pub in the 1970,'s. Purely nostalgia. It hadn't changed a bit. I might have changed, but this pub hasn't. Thank God. A slice of peace and tranquility. I was envious of the landlord, living in this Taborial ( Wainstallian ) paradise. Visit, just visit. Thank You, Landlord.

Today we passed and stopped for an impromptu drink, we decided to also eat and enjoyed the food and the service.

Delightful views from outside seating in a split level area. Kitchen now open Thursday to Sunday but we visited on a Wednesday. Beware of the road to it. Not for the faint hearted city driver - plenty of narrow stone walled bits.

Very friendly, lovely situated, kitchen just had overall so as we were a big group had to have Sunday lunch, only criticisms were chicken a bit dry, and slow bringing spoons and custard for desserts but defo come again

Excellent meal this evening, pan seared sea bass, crushed new potatoes and asparagus with wilted spinach. Beautifully cooked with fabulous flavours. Very friendly and efficient bar staff, we will definitely go again very soon.

5 stars for all aspects . food , setting ,staff .. a gem of a place recommend highly top notch

Really nice pub out the way. Lots of character. Nice pint and friendly service... Great wooden veneers too. Highly recommended.

What a beautiful pub in stunning surroundings what stopped here for a quick drink and the welcome was very warm can't wait to go again

Really friendly and great outside space

Lovely little pub,in a beautiful area,always call in if we are passing by.

Excellent Vocation beer served by a beautiful lady

Nice beer which choice of 4 real ales. Every customer spoke to us politely as if we were locals.

A lovely country pub with hand pulled beers wine etc and a great landlord Alex even better in the warm weather and very lovely people that go

Yes good service nice beers lovely scenery

Lovely little out of the way pub, warm welcome, good selection of drinks, will definitely call again

Good job yes cat I th well thank you 😊 happy me know see message Heather

Went for a drink in the afternoon and was greeted by a very pleasant bar woman very sociable will go again and try a meal when kitchen refurb is done

The kitchen was closed for refurbishment so we stayed a matter of seconds.

Wonderful country pub, fabulous bar staff, always a warm welcome

A fabulous little treasure of a pub, steeped in history. Great landlord and a glorious pint of landlord!

This is out of the way pub at the bottom of a steep road. Lovely place, very quiet, on a summers day its brilliant to just sit out and enjoy

Made real welcome, when we called today, Heart & Soul by Vocation was absolutely spot on.

Great pub outstanding atmosphere great location a must visit destination

Went today band playing, too loud for the time of day. Bar staff are great.

Nice old fashioned traditional pub

Always great service Estrella is on point keep it up Alex!

This is a real gem. The sort of pub you only find from recommendation. They have an award from Timothy Taylor's for the way they look after their beer - and it is well deserved. There is also a gorgeous blonde pulling the pints. What's not to like?

Very friendly welcome, super inside and out. Great beer garden. Nice beers. No food in August 2021 as kitchen being revamped.

The Cat I'th Well is a lovely pub. It is out in the middle of nowhere, but is well worth the journey. It is not doing food at the moment but when they do it is good quality. When you enter the pub it's like stepping back in time, flagged floor and wooden wall panels, the young lady behind the bar is always cheerful and helpful, I can't wait for my next visit.

Just sat in garden and drinks from a hatch. Beautiful view and plenty of space in the garden. Narrow lanes to get there and quite tight parking spaces.

A lovely little pub, un spoilt retaining traditional atmosphere, good real ales.

Stumbled on this lovely quaint pub whilst out walking. Guinness was spot on. Service was friendly and the view was delightful.

Great service and tucked away for privacy. Only problem was the midges

Just called down on the off chance after walk to Wainstalls. Haven't been here in ages. Cracking pint of Boltmaker - like before. Sat in the extensive Beer Garden. 10/10.

Called in for a couple, albeit while only allowed to sit outside due to Covid its a great pub, nice big beer garden and lovely traditional beers. Great spot, will be back 👌

Perfect spot for a well-deserved pint in the middle of a country walk. Beautiful setting with a beer garden to take in the scenery. Good range of traditional beers.

Really nice beer garden, plus swing area for children to entertain themselves.

Beautiful sunny day .great views .lots of outdoor tables.flat grassy area.good beer.cheers.

Was really nice to be in this fantastic beer garden for the first outing in a long time. Beer, setting and atmosphere were all great. Even with 3 staff on though the team struggled to keep up with the number of patrons eager for a drink. Dont let this put you off though as all good things are worth the wait!

Great beer garden and lovely staff

Warm and welcoming , always put food on when we turn up x

Proper pub. Lovely atmosphere. Friendly staff and customers.

Great garden to enjoy a drink and admire the fantastic view.

Very friendly atmosphere even for a passerby, made to feel welcome, nice selection off cask ales and I'm told the food is good served Wed onwards, unfortunately I visited on a Monday but I will be back to try another time.

It's good but needs to be cheaper as they is cheaper places around.

An old favourite - never changes .

Fantastic range of beer polite friendly bar staff food is fantastic

Cosy country pub with excellent beer.

Great place to have a Sunday lunchtime drink. Outside seating area.

Lovely welcoming friendly pub, a true hidden gem will def back to enjoy the garden in the sun.

This pub is set in a wonderful area of Halifax. The pub itself is very homely. The staff are very welcoming and the food was ok.

Absolutely unspoilt Traditional Oak Pannelled country pub. Great sun trap, spacious beer garden. Lovely lanscape views.

Great beer as always, but your children's swing desperately needs oiling. Some sun umbrellas to stop happy drinkers getting sun burnt would be good, but still one of the best pubs in the area.

Very nice old quaint pub with good ales

Lovely traditional pub, amazing views, and dog-friendly too!

Probably one of the best pubs in Calderdale. Fact.

Brilliant out of the way pub. Well kept beer. Definitely go again. Downside- You need a nominated driver.

Love this pub, always a friendly atmosphere, and excellent service

Lovely country pub with a good atmosphere

Friendly local pub with a good selection of beers and a warm fire

Good food and friendly service in a traditional setting. Great for lunch on a walk to an attractive location.

There was a menu written on a blackboard and people eating some sort of buffet lunch but apparently they don't serve food on Mondays and Tuesdays. Not sure how they expect people to know this when there wasn't sign saying that. I also have to add that their coke tasted like flat panda pop

Perdue au milieu de nulle part mais exelent et authentique pub anglais. Parfait pour boire un verre ou manger au coin du feu.

Long time since I've been here but will certainly be going again before too long.Nice old type traditional pub , stone floor and very friendly.Next time will be going for a bar snack.Four stars for now, other will depend on bar snack

Lovely pub very rural. Open fire is lovely.

Wonderful country inn full of character, lovely resident cat who loves to share your food ( especially fish dishes)- Good quality food and sensible prices.

Warm friendly pub. Good beer. Great crowd.

Small, friendly country pub lovely atmosphere topped off with a roaring log fire. Food was top quality and excellent value for money, great staff, very helpful and attentive a real credit to the proprietor. Highly recommended will definitely dine there again.
