Duke of York Inn in Calderdale

We recently held a private family event at the Duke of York, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, Ellie and the team looked after us with the upmost care and professionalism. The food was excellent. All our needs were catered for seamlessly, making it a truly memorable occasion. Highly recommend the Duke of York for any special event.

Just had Sunday lunch here again today, food was fantastic, succulent chicken, great roast potatoes and vegetables. Pub was busy with a great atmosphere and brilliant service from all the staff..

Amazing service and made to feel very welcome. There was a live band on after the meal it was so nice to see the pub so full We will be coming back :)

Had 2 meals 1 a lasagne...really nice 1 steak and potato pie ...not so nice the steak should be tender and soft but the steak was too rubbery and inedible..a few weeks previously I got a steak sandwich and the steak was also too chewy .the cook needs to cook it longer

Called in for drinks, ended up staying for a Sunday dinner. Great food, amazing service, the bar staff are all so lovely and attentive. Recommend very highly!!!

Amazing food and amazing friendly staff. Will be definitely back. Thank you Duke of York staff. Tip for a Sunday….The beef dinner is amazing. A*******

Lovely food, kind, attentive staff, dog friendly and we enjoyed a game on the newly installed dartboard with some locals. Will return for quiz night on Monday 😁

Waited 1 hour for food to come Food cold when first come out then second time it came out still cold beef dried out chicken was tasteless and dry roast potato had been warmed up in microwave Yorkshire puddings rock hard but lovely service by bar staff

Called to the duke of York shelf for lunch today had the roast chicken breast dinner omg absolutely top notch the chicken melted in my mouth everything cooked to perfection would highly recommend staff were friendly polite and professional

Visited for Sunday lunch. Delicious well presented food with other choices as well as the Sunday roast. Staff were welcoming, friendly and attentive. Would recommend.

Went for lunch with my partner and daughter and it was beautiful! I had the roast dinner and the beef was to die for. The kids meals are excellent quality as well, lovely fresh food! The staff were welcoming and service was brilliant. Will definitely return. Thank you!

Wow best night ever with Miss Syren.. I will defo be returning brilliant staff, brilliant night

Lovely food,my wife had sunday roast I had the pie.

Met friends for lunch. The staff accommodated dietary requirements and adapted menu as had no gf bread delivery. Chips were oven baked to prevent contact with wheat. Adapted dressing to a gf. Option. Went that bit extra to adapt requirements. Freshly cooked. All our meals were delicious. Staff were super friendly and great service. When next in the area will definitely return.

My 30th Birthday was held here on the 7th June - all I can say is the team went above and beyond and the management went above and beyond to meet our needs! The DJ was brilliant and the atmosphere was just amazing! I wouldn't hesitate to book again.

Lovely staff found us a table as a walk in. The food was delicious and the people serving us couldn't do enough to help us. Really friendly and cheerful. Made the experience really nice thank you. There was a band playing that night so they were getting ready for that and it seemed to have a good atmosphere ready for that.

When Holly left the Duke..it wasn't the same..then after a year or so was taken over again..Elle and Ben in charge..n Chris the chef back..went Friday 9th June for a meal n catch up with a work colleague..which normally consists of a few hours..however it was Gaz's 30th birthday party who i didn't know and was in the pub with a DJ...we was made to feel part of the party and enjoyed the karaoke and disco..Elle n Ben were brilliant..normally home for 9pm...left the pub at 1130..with a big smile on face..what a fab night xx

Had a lovely lunch with my husband and friend today. We all had a prawn sandwich which came with chunky chips or fries and salad. It was a good portion size and very tasty. We struggled to find anywhere that was dog friendly in this area at lunch time, and following today’s visit we will all definitely be going back again for food. Staff were very courteous and friendly. Toilets were very clean. We all thought it was reasonably priced too.

Dog friendly free dog treats. Staff so so lovely food yummy. Nothing too much trouble

We’d heard the previous chef had returned under the new owners and the food was really good so called in tonight to see for ourselves. And have to say we could not fault a thing. Friendly greeting, drinks brought to our table, and the food was really good. Hubby said his fish pie was lovely and my chicken Caesar salad was also great. Good food and good service in a local pub. What’s not to love!

I didn't eat here, but walking in it feels welcoming. My associates had burgers that they loved and thoroughly enjoyed. (they did look impressive)👌🏾The bar staff are friendly as is the manager. Inside is clean and roomy, with added function room. They have an outside area for sunny 🌞 lunches and drinks outdoors. I will be eating here soon enough so I can update this review, but so far, I'd give 10 /10 and recommend the Duke of York!!

Staff are nice and service is good, but the menu is limited. Also every time I have been there have been several items on the menu out of stock, you don’t expect 3 items on the main menu to be unavailable especially when it’s a small menu anyway. Weirdly this was also a problem with previous owners, never once been here and not been told something on the menu was unavailable. Very loud private event going on downstairs, wasn’t told about this when booking. Not really conducive to a nice meal.

Only went for a drink outdoor but looked nice inside as well

Food is overpriced £15. Ordered steak and potato pie but couldn’t find any potato in it. Pie is very salty to say least you need a galling of coke to swill the salt down. Ordered a bowl of veg and all I got was a bowl of green Beans. Nasty salty don’t order chef needs to learn how to season pies.

As regulars who used to visit on a weekly, sometimes daily basis in 2022 before it changed hands, we can certainly say that the Duke of York is back with a bang. The food was absolutely a-m-a-zing and being able to eat 'al fresco' was an added bonus! We asked for our compliments to the Chef as 'The Duke Burger' was on another level. Thanks also to Ellie for her bar and table service as always. We will certainly be back and look forward to it.

Excellent food, staff freindly, helpful and reasonably priced. Lovely meal and look forward to our next visit.

Nice food but ridiculously slow service, over an hour wait when the pub was pretty empty. Need to get themselves organised, don’t take bookings if you can’t service them!

Friday early evening. Half the menu no longer served after 4pm. Extremely slow service. Food distinctly average despite higher price point then the other local pub food. Not somewhere we would pop in for tea again.

We visited Saturday lunchtime and really enjoyed a Hot Beef Sandwich (£10) The following Friday, we called for tea (at 5:30 pm), with the family but Sandwichs are only available till 4 pm! Instead, we had to choose from the evening menu, which is much more expensive, I.e. Steak pie and chips £19. We won't be going for tea again. We were a party of 6, including 2 young children. We'll go for lunch but not for the evening menu. It's overpriced, and it wasn't that good.

Absolutely amazing pub! Just been newly taken over and it’s back and better than ever. We came for lunch and the service from new assistant manager Ellie and manager Ben was spectacular. Very accommodating and nothing was too much to ask for, also the food with chef Chris was amazing, everything was perfectly cooked and presented lovely! Definitely recommend for lunch/ dinner! Thank you all for making our time there memorable, we will definitely be back x

The Duke of York has improved drastically in the last couple of months. Under new ownership the pub has got its customers back and the atmosphere is really good. We also tried the food yesterday and it was really nice and really tasty. I highly recommend the Beef Croquettes of the small plate menu and the Steak and Potato Pie for the main course. The only minor negative came when they decided to turn the volume of the music up a fair few notches. For the first hour or two the sound level was fine, loud enough to hear and enjoy but quiet enough to have a conversation. It got turned up to a point where we couldn’t hear anyone talking, however they did turn it back down upon request so that was really appreciated. We visit here fairly regular, even before the new ownership and will continue to do again.

This pub used to be really good but under the new owners it's absolutely fantastic. Beavertown beers on tap and the food is unbelievably good and the prices are spot on. Frequently call in for a bite to eat after a dog walk or to celebrate birthdays with family etc and the service is top notch, comfy seats with a log burner nearby. Couldn't be happier.

Had a lovely meal, delicious and plentiful. Great service, very friendly. The room we were in wasn't particularly Christmassy and felt a bit bare, so could do with some cosying up but didn't detract at all from the food. A really nice pub.

Atmosphere 3 because we were only people in. Would have had more of a buzz if it was fuller. Don't let that put u off. Portion sizes were great and food was good.

The food was great - just a pity we had to wait so long to get it. It took over an hour before someone took our order. Then it took almost another hour before our starters arrived. We were told there was a back up in the kitchen but that didn’t explain why one drink took almost 20 minutes to arrive nor why other people, who had arrived after us, had been served and almost finished eating before our starters arrived.

Back again for a Sunday roast. Did not disappoint. Food was excellent and service was impeccable. Waiters were both professional and excellent(young lad with glasses and young blonde girl). So impressed again with the food and the atmosphere. I cannot rave on enough about this little place

Nice pub. Food good especially Sunday lunch. Pleasant staff.

Visited the Duke of York on Sunday and was happy to see it was getting the recognition it deserved. Very busy and seemed to be understaffed but our waiter handled everything amazingly. He was attentive and helpful and overall made our trip. The food was excellent despite a waiting time which was instantly forgotten upon the first bite of our roast dinners. Thank you so much especially to our waiter who's name we didn't catch, but deserves a massive amount of recognition. Great Sunday lunch at a great price.

Arrived on a Sunday for a family birthday meal, with some members of the party travelling over 2 hours to make it. On arrival we were informed it would be a half an hour wait, this was double checked upon ordering and we were reassured it wouldn’t even be 30 minutes as they were quiet. It then took 1 hour for starters to come and a further hour for mains to arrive. This meant family who had to travel to get home, left as the food took so long and they went without eating. When food arrived it was average. We were given a free round of drinks and staff were apologetic, however the whole experience was so poor that we shall not be returning.

We booked for Sunday lunch with family for a birthday treat , we where advised on entering the pub the kitchen was a little behind due to staff issues and we would have a 30 min wait . On ordering we confirmed the wait time as we had family travelling home to Newcastle after . We where advised that they had caught up and shouldn’t even be the original 30 mins advised , however the starter took ah hr to arrive , the mains where 2 hrs , our parents had to leave with out eating there main meal . The staff where polite and the food was ok when arrived but the experience was not relaxing or enjoyable unfortunately at one point we where the only table in downstairs eating so by no mean busy .

Very nice food, tastiest burger ive had 🍔😋👍

Earlier 6.15 beautiful steak meal for two with a lovely bottle of Merlot £34 Steak cooked perfectly, chips, Wow, gorgeous! Fabulous front of house, cannot give enough praise to, I believe her name was Charlie but I may have misheard, what a fantastic asset to a fab place, she was totally focused on the diners, very impressed with her attention and attitude to a couple on the table next to us who were visibly impaired, she instantly asked how she could aid them with the menu 👏Fantastic, sent to the wrong venue chuckle, what a right wrong treat ❤️

Visited today for Sunday dinner with my family. Varying choice especially for my vegetarian sister, great food and fantastic service. Best sunday dinner i’ve had round here for a long time!

The most disappointing meal I've had for a long time. Should have known better when we walked in. Only two other people there. Complained about the wine as it had a strange taste. Just showed me the bottle it came out of. Won't be going again.

Best pub food we’ve had in ages. It was so fresh and the food was piping hot. Staff were very nice and accommodating and kept coming to check on us. Feel like we’ve found a little gem, will be returning. The chicken alfredo was 10/10 better than any I’ve had before

Delicious Sunday roast beef dinner, I really enjoyed it. Very tasty red cabbage, gravy and the carrots were soooo good. The meat was perfect for me, lean and a decent portion. Roasties and Yorkshire pud excellent too. Yum, I will be thinking of this meal all week.

I’ve been this pub many times before asked for a menu when buying a drink and then ordered my food at the bar, all good and friendly staff. On this occasion I asked if food was still being served, the lady said yes and was told it was table service , I took my drink and sat down . The same lady walked past me 3 times and still no menu or even asked me for my order. I’m not sure if she assumed that because I was solo I wasn’t going to eat but I clearly asked if food was still being served and was advised it was table service. I left after 25 mins once my drink was finished . Please sort this out as I’d like to return again but I’m not going to sit there like a lemon again!

Last minute decision, fancied a Sunday dinner after a good walk, very nice food 👍

Very disappointing, over priced food and drinks, poor quality food and small portions, really don't bother.

Food was terrible party10 we got home the wife as been sick as a dog. stay well away we all said the same fish chips were really bad I mean really bad for the money we paid won't be going back you have been warned that should be ashamed

Popped in for a cheeky Monday pint! We weren't disappointed, friendly service, great selection of beer to choose from. Thank you

We arrived to celebrate my mums birthday having accidentally booked the table the day before. Despite being full they managed to find us a table in the bar area. The meal was absolutely gorgeous and we had a wonderful time. All staff were friendly and made the experience a joy. Food was delicious and good value 👍

Good food and very friendly staff. Would definitely visit again. Good sized helpings for most of the meals, although the fish pie was a bit small. Confusing menu for vegetarian as not noted that veggie sausage were available as part of the roast, along with veggie gravy, and a ‘V’ against the Chicken Caesar salad?

Food and drinks expensive and food not good at all chips like old chips recooked tasted funny, burger undercooked, had lamb shank also and broccoli burnt and replaced with hard awfully tasting microwaved! Hardly any mash or gravy! Desert was just as bad and ice cream portion was around a teaspoon size scoop served in a sauce pot?? For the expensive price charged was very bad. Seats was filthy n needed cleaning, will not be wasting my money again at that price could go to any decent restaurant previous good reviews are from when old owners had the pub, since new owners taken over overpriced rubbish

Me and my husband came for Sunday lunch today. The food was fantastic. Really good sized portion and everything was really well cooked. Meat was great and loads of lovely veg. Service was excellent. Would definitely recommend.

First visit since the new owners and I was not disappointed. Tried the Catalan burger and it was delicious! My partner had the steak and ale pie and said it was gorgeous. To top it all off the service was immaculate. Would definitely recommend

Had a lovely roast dinner here one Sunday afternoon. Served by a lovely lad called Charlie. Very efficient and friendly. Desserts also good. Quite pricey but worth a visit.

Had some vouchers kindly given, booked a table and looking forward to a meal. When ordering showed vouchers only to be told they would not honour them as business recently changed hands. No attempt made to compromise. If you buy a business like this that offers vouchers then factor that in! We left and had a nice meal elsewhere. Also beer selection was pretty poor. Don’t think I will ever return.

Sunday dinner Expensive for what it is and food very disappointed shared with kid but didn’t realise chilli was in the broccoli ,meat was like chewing gum

Ate here after not being back for some time. Lovely food and excellent service. Will definitely be back soon.

Haven't been for a little while but are very pleased with our visit today. Food was great and service first class. Lovely old pub and will be back soon.

Good atmosphere lovely staff really friendly and food very good indeed

Had the most amazing burgers, the welcome and atmosphere was really warm and welcoming what more could you want 👍

So disappointed by the decline in this pub. Called today after months of absence having moved out if the area. Firstly as we entered the manager noticed we had a dig. Oh. You have a dog. I’ve put you in the restaurant but let me...

Myself and 6 friends went for a Christmas Dinner, What a disappointment, No table cloths , no crackers, not a thing Christmas about it. Lovely log fire when we arrived which went out half way through the meal so we were frozen on one of...

We visited for a Christmas meal with 12 people. From sitting down to leaving the service was brilliant! We preordered our food and everything came perfectly Cooked and correct. We even asked them to make extras as a few wanted starters but didn’t pre order...

We have just had a meal tonight 12 of us. It was lovely. Staff excellent. Food spot on. Thankyou to all concerned

My wife and I visited for a family lunch with my son and his partner. We arrived and were seated in a cold and desolate back room - we asked to be moved to the main bar! On sitting down we waited 15 minutes but...

Spacious, warm, inviting, family pub. Meals for every taste

Good staff, friendly and very worth a visit.

I suggest you order your food the day before the wait is ridiculous!

We have eaten here many times before and always enjoyed the food But today we have just had the 2 course Sunday lunch the portion sizes were so small even though we paid an extra £3 each for extra meat and we had 1 bowl of vegetables for 5 adults and all got 1 roast potato The service was so slow and to cap it all we got over charged Won't be eating here again

Lovely place for a meal. The seating area is cosy and bright. Dishes were full of flavour and so tasty! Highly recommend the prawns! Luke

Made a 5pm reservation and when we arrived the pub was packed. The waitress told us there was a immediate delay with food up to 30 mins . We still decided to be seated. We had the 2/3 course Sunday menu. For starters we had...

Went for the first time in a year and I think it must have changed hands. Portions no where near as big and Sunday dinner not as nice as last time . Jam roly poly was raw suet and sticky toffee pudding tasted shop bought, again small portion with a tiny splash of very runny toffee sauce and was served with a dead fly in it - they swapped it but took a while to come and by the time it did the rest of the party had finished. Given 2 stars as I enjoyed the garlic mushroom starter and staff were attentive. Would go back for a beer but won’t be eating there.

Come for Sunday dinner it come with 1 roast potatoe ask for more cost £3 for 3 roasting meat over cooked n0 sorry left a tip too not worth it 😪

Fantastic food and great service again and always a great Atmosphere. Definitely recommend 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The first two time we went here it was lovely food was consistently nice, staff were really attentive. I always order chicken an chorizo pasta however when i went Friday night i orded this same dish and it was completely different, no flavour just cream and pasta. I was really disappointed. We booked in advanced however only got to order our mains an didnt even get offered a desert menu.

Just went in for a drink and chat to friends and family, good selection of drinks and menu looks good and the food comming out was wholesome Pity pubs don't have more seating areas for drinkers and having to squeeze into one small area as tables were reserved for diners was less enjoyable but I fully understand, good atmosphere and staff are very pleasant

Had a fantastic meal had to book a table for 4 but all enjoyed great atmosphere all staff very pleasant and a warm welcome on entry a bit expensive for a pub meal but bloody lovely mite have to go back

We went to the Duke of York on the 16th at lunch time we had a three different meal and all of them were lovely meals and the staff were very friendly would recommend

We were given a recommendation to go here as the food is good. And the food was very good, it just took way too long to come! We arrived at 7.45 and didn't leave until going on for 10pm. And not because we were loving the atmosphere. And we only had mains, not 3 courses. The food was great all around, no complaints. But the service was so slow! The restaurant wasn't particularly busy, are there were plenty of staff so not sure what the problem was. I suppose the bar area was quite busy but if that's going to effect the service of the restaurant then maybe stop serving food earlier on? We were wanting to get a dessert but weren't prepared to sit there for another hour.

Service was slow but the waitress came and told us they had a problem with the ordering system and offered us a drink while we waited so absolutely fine with that. However after our mains we sat for 30 mins and no one bothered to...

Great food, nice place. Will be going again.

This was probably our fourth visit over 12 months or so. Decor wise, it's a nice looking place. However, having been a few times the look is not matched by the service / produce. Food menu is slightly limited, not tricky to put together but...

Superb food served by superb staff in excellent surroundings

Just went for drinks this time Great venue Great bar staff (nice and friendly) Good selection of drinks

Good, as always and brilliant staff.

Fish pie was huge but tasteless, lamb burger cold and tiny , waitress wore a skirt That was so short you could see her thong, and she had holes in her tights. Not a very professional look

Excellent pub 1st class staff service amd food

The food was fantastic, the service was poor

Visited for a drink with the wife on a Saturday night. Staff are welcoming and the pub is brightly lit with lots of nooks and crannies to sit in. Not eaten here, but will come back. Beers are almost £1 a pint more expensive than other pubs in the area.

Nice clean restaurant, staff polite and friendly the food was excellent. I would recommend this restaurant .

Decent food at reasonable prices worth a visit

Excellent steak night would highly recommend.

A friendly well run establishment and the food was good.

Staff were very welcoming and attentive. The menu however was not that inspiring. Having said that I will return to sample their Sunday lunch

Worst place Iv eaten. Booked table for 12 people on a Monday night waited hour and half to get starters. Very poor service. Got soup of the day which was supposed to be with freshly baked bread roll, but it was a slice of bread. Ordered steak and never asked how I’d like it. Will not return

excellent food and service best in area great steak deals with wine staff are amazing,on the ball all the time

We booked a table for 4 on Easter Saturday. Shown to our table, ordered drinks, received the menu, great choice to suit anyone's taste all at great value. Placed our orders, The waitress was cheerful and jolly, our food orders soon arrived. Excellent service, lovely meals, great atmosphere and fantastic value. Looking forward to our next visit. Big thank you to all the staff.
