Dusty Miller in Calderdale

I called in for lunch, with my daughter and granddaughter. They'd gone to a lot of trouble to trim up for Halloween. The place was packed - always a good sign. My granddaughter and I settled for the Steak and Kidney Pie and my daughter opted for the scampi. The staff were friendly and attentive, and there was a really good atmosphere. The food arrived, piping hot, and the generous portions were cooked to perfection. I'd thoroughly recommend the Dusty Miller and suggest any prospective diners book in advance, due to it's obvious popularity. We'll certainly be back!

What an incredible pub. Really really nice food and great service from the staff. A warm and welcome venue that offers full table service and is dog friendly. The food was stunning and very reasonably priced. The car park was a bit small and very busy , but given how good the pub is , no wonder it's busy. We will be back !

Beautiful food in a very friendly pub. My husband had the Belly buster. Wow!

Excellent service, great food and the hospitality first class. The staff go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome.

Excellent food with excellent service

Nice steak lunch. Car park not too big so gad to park nearby K

The food was excellent 👌 it was the first time we had meal but it won't be the last.

Lovely food Friendly staff Great atmosphere we went for tea pub was very busy would recommend a visit we ll definitely be going again 😳

Top pub. Great food. Friendly staff.

We decided to pop in this beautiful pub for our monthly ladies lunch and we are so glad we did. The staff were friendly and attentive, the menu was just too much to choose from. 2 ladies had the fish and chips - the fish were massive, 2 had the beef sandwich’s with chips - they went down well and big portions, we opted for the dusty share platter - we cleared it all. Stuffed. 4 ladies had coffee but we opted for the cheesecake which was to die for. We will be booking for dining club (WI ladies) and we have decided to have our birthday dinners here too.

Ahhh the authentic British pub experience, truly a sight to behold. With distinct "football free" zones and hooligans cheering up a storm to the tv from the bar front, it's a propa' authentic Bri'ish experience mate. Great steaks, great meatpies and decent nachos. A textbook pub perfect for soaking up some authentic British culture

Amazing atmosphere and friendly staff - went there during a football game and there were both fans and dinner guests, everybody in a good mood and welcoming. The food was really great too, definitely worth the prices.

Food doesn't look very presentable, hope it tastes better than it looks

Nice pub. Good atmosphere. Great beer.

Lovely pub to have lunch, lovely staff and nice friendly atmosphere.

Duplicate singers on that were fantastic too.

We have passed the dusty miller on our way up to the dales many times and we kept saying we would like to call in , WOW what a lovely pup this is , the food is fantastic the staff are brilliant and the landlord beer is second to none . Didn’t think places like this existed any more so glad we called in keep up the good work dusty miller

Fantastic good, warm welcome, great service

Relatively simple menu but it was tasty....staff were pleasant but felt like they were a bit short staffed

A nice pub in typical English style, the food was very good and well-kept (maybe a little bland, But the salt is on the table, no big deal). The waitresses are very friendly and attentive to the service... There is a good selection of beer and an interesting dessert menu

Had a family get together for Sunday lunch it was amazing can't fault it at all. The young female waitress was very professional and got everything right as they were a lot of us. We will definitely return.

We had a lovely time at the quiz last week, the food was fabulous as always. And the staff and owner are always super welcoming xx

Lovely pub and the food is gorgeous and really reasonably priced! & the place is dog friendly, doesn’t get better than that really!

Nice cosy little pub . Nice pint service very good waitress excellent food Nice & hot on arrival. Ample parking but can get busy will call again. We'll done all .

Our absolute favourite pub & restaurant, it’s beautiful the people there are welcoming and accepting of everyone you always feel at home. Drinks are always a great selection food is wonderful, if you’re lucky on a cold day you can sit in a beautiful booth by the roaring fire. So up to date, a modern jukebox accommodating everyone’s choices we couldn’t love it more :)

Lovely traditional pub with a great food menu and good selection of ales etc

Absolutely brilliant, the staff were very quick to serve us and very helpful and friendly,can't be more impressed with staff service, credit to the owners,the pub was very clean, and as my followers know, if the toilets are pristine,you can expect throughout,and we were not disappointed, we didn't have a meal on this occasion but trust me,from what we observed coming from the kitchen, we will defo be back for food. Menu may make you think that's expensive for a burger,but trust me,you will get a lot more than you expected, do not pass this pub, even if it is just for a drink,you will not be disappointed and the price of the beer is good. Real ale as well as a wide choice of drinks.

Best chicken I've had. Chips are crispy and the gravy is amazing! Well worth a visit...

We've been a few times for meals but not Sunday lunch before. All I can say is it was fantastic, the food was excellent, the roast potatoes where amazingly good, and the beef slices were more like steaks. The extra touch were the fried onions on top. Proper juice gravey too. Everything was served fresh by really good staff. Would highly recommend l.

We’ve been looking for a proper local pub since moving to the area and we think we’ve found it! Every member of staff had a smile on their face despite it being probably one of the busiest periods of the year. Felt instantly welcome, and so did the dog! Great atmosphere, and proper wholesome, home cooked food. We’ll be coming here plenty!

Called in today 10th December on the off chance of getting a table on our way to York from the Wirral,young ladies behind the bar couldn't have been more helpful and found us a table.We both had the Sunday roast which was absolutely fantastic,veg was fresh,Turkey was cooked to perfection and Roast potatoes were crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle (just like they should be).The portion size was huge and excellent value,we followed this meal with 2 cappuccinos which were just right.All in all we had a fantastic stop and this will be our new refreshment stop on our way to York or Whitby.All the ladies serving were very professional and nothing was too much trouble for them,they are an absolute credit to your pub.The pub is also decorated for Xmas and it is amazing and well worth a visit.

Excellent food. Well cooked and well presented. The desserts were to die for. Good selection of wines and good quality.

We have been here a couple of times and had the cheese and onion baguette which was delicious...plenty of cheese and a little onion on a nicely toasted baguette. Today we had the same and the meal was awful. Masses of raw onion and a little cheese on a baguette which was hardly toasted. The difference between this and previously was like chalk and cheese. We can only assume it is a new chef.

Great, cosy place - will be back 👍🏻

Food overpriced & poor quality. £6-50 for 3 shop bought fish fingers on 4" diameter bap.

Excellent sunday lunch * edit have been tonight lasagne superb

Called in with a mate been past regularly but ist time in. Nice place good service and beer. Didn't eat but menu looked good 25.10.2023 ammendment. Called in with a friend today had lunch. Spot on food service everything 👌

Went with group of friends . It's also dog friendly everyone enjoyed their lunches

Had a couple of pints and it was loves always. Very good selection of lagers too

Friendly place with great beer 🍺

The food was nice but I don't appreciate being charged 90p for half a cordial when my drink was half a lager and lime. The lime in this drink is just a dash and certainly not half and half. 90p is way too much.

Good local, serves decent pub grub, decent selection of beers, wine etc. Friendly efficient staff offer table service if having food

Family meal out with mum and dad , my mother asked for something off the menu and the chef dud for her fantastic she was over the moon with her hunters chicken as she is a fussy eater. Dad was pleased with his fish and chips and I had the gammon. Great portions we'll done to all.

Visited with family. Friendly and quick service. I had the chili burger and the other meal was the prawn and tuna salad. Generous portions and home cooked. We will visit again.

What was good - the main, first waitress was lovely, polite and pleasant. What was bad - our sirloin steaks and chips were quite frankly, terrible. We ordered gluten free, so that meant they omitted onion rings, but it came with fries that were different to those eating non gf, and I can only assume that the oil that they were cooked in was off as they were truly disgusting, totally inedible. They even smelled foul and quite strong. They were a totally different colour to other people’s chips who hadn’t ordered gf. I handed my plate around the other people who were eating to check it wasn’t just myself and my daughter, but everyone agreed they were terrible and had a very odd strange taste. I’ve had not so good chips n my life, but never so inedible. And the steaks - well my daughter ate 3/4 of hers as she was absolutely starving but she didn’t enjoy it and she couldn’t eat the chips. I however, couldn’t eat more than a couple of small mouthfuls of my steak, it tasted like unfresh meat, far from a lovely tender juicy medium-rare steak. I had a huge clump of raw fat on mine and the steak was frankly unpleasant. Even the peas were strange - some were pale green and wrinkled, cooked to death and looked like they’d been cooked hours ago, and they were mixed with others a totally different colour. Certainly not what you’d expect for a £16 + meal. By the time the waitress checked on us, my daughter had eaten most of her steak - but not the chips - and I explained my concerns and handed back my full plate - and said I am afraid I’m not paying for that. My daughter had 3/4 of a steak and we were still charged £16.50. The rest of the party’s meals were ok, but sadly it put a dampener on the evening which was for a birthday. I went home ravenous as I did not want to risk a dessert after such a bad experience. Sadly, we will not be returning.

Rob and staff do a brilliant job by creating a friendly atmosphere. Top quality meals and served within a good time. Enjoyed the quiz. Recommended for a good night out.

Lovely food & plenty of it. Polite & friendly staff. Very pleased with every meal & service

Food excellent and wonderful so beautiful pub coming next time

this pub is great excellent food lovely staff very welcoming food absolutely gorgeous will definitely visit again it’s been a while since i have had do a lovely meal staff chef all a credit to the owner thank you

Firstly the pub is clean inside and out, offering seating inside & outside (including smoking & none smoking areas). The choice of drinks including real ales is excellent The menu is also very extensive with plenty of options for all tastes including veggie, vegan & gluten free. The staff are all professional, knowledgeable, polite but mainly extremely friendly. My Australian friend joining me for lunch asked for items not necessarily on the menu but was accommodated without a blink of an eye. Good honest food delivered with an excellent service by an amazing team brilliantly managed by Rob & Craig. Improvements- Cheese & Onion Pie as an everyday choice on the menu

Booked after seeing exiting new menu all I can say is SHOCKING had fish and chips I can eat anything not fish and chips at Dusty . Admittedly the waitress did offer to change it but unfortunately we don’t go out as a couple to eat alone should be right first time .

This is a great pub the food is excellent along with service all the staff are very friendly and helpful. We will be there again when in that area

Visited here with a group of friends and we all really enjoyed it. The staff are top tier, very attentive, on the ball, friendly and welcoming- honestly how it should be everywhere, but rare to find. The owner and all the waitresses that we spoke to were just spot on. Sat outside and was lovely in the sun. The food all came at good times, was hot and such good value for money. The nachos and gammon were very tasty. Will definitely be back here again. Also dog friendly.

Lovely home cooked food, great quality and best of all “a good Yorkshire price”. Waiters\waitresses really attentive and the owner always asking if everything is ok. It’s what you pay for plus allot more #wortheeverypenny

Went for spot of lunch ordered a fish finger buttie , 3 soggy fish fingers in a Warburton type soggy teacake , no garnish not eaten here before, won't return think my 10 year old could do better.

had a nice meal nothing spectacular,just nice,staff are on the ball and pleasant,lovely decor nice and cosy,the middle section near the bar is quite a gathering spot abit like pear tree norwood green,might go again price was ok for food but nothing special

Called last minute for Sunday lunch after a winter walk with our Bully The staff were lovely and welcoming! Cracking Sunday roast in a lovely warm environment! Timmy Taylors on draft and old school puddings to finish off! We’ll be back!

We had lunch here with friends. The menu had good choice, including some vegetarian options. The wine list was suitable for most drinkers. The real hand pulled ales are well kept and too tempting! Danielle and the team provided attentive service. we will go back...

Lovely, friendly staff, very good service with a smile, and an excellent Sunday Roast Beef. Very good value for £12.95.

A table for two. Nestled in the corner. A pravha in view. Comfort in body. A war in my mind. Steak or Gammon. The stakes are high. GAMMON. Perfectly blush. Perfectly tender. To the Dusty Miller I surrender. Avast. Till the next time. A steak...

We couldn’t eat our meals. Sweet chilli chicken baguette was awful. Dry sliced chicken covered in a watery tasteless sauce. Steak was rare and chewy. Fries were ok. But. If you want a night out no food, definitely recommend it.

a really cute little pub and the food was lovely!

Great crowd friendly staff Rob is a diamond.

We are 3 friends who were all born n bread in Brighouse but now have all moved away. All our parents still live here so we meet up at Christmas to reminisce & have a bite to eat. We used to go to the Dusty...

Called in for a pint after a walk & it looked beautiful all dress for Xmas. Well done for making so feel Christmasy & happy after all the talk about covid again

A quality pub providing good beer and good food. This must be the best pub in the area. It's friendly, the atmosphere is good and the food/beer spot on.

So welcoming, with a good selection of ales and excellent quality food which is really good value for money. My home from home when visiting from Australia.

Visited tonight having wanted to visit pre covid. SO GLAD WE DID!! Great welcome by staff, attention great, fabulous homemade food. Steak and kidney pie and veg chilli both tasted wonderful. I'm fussy but all boxes ticked. Food hot, portions great, beer excellent! Than you...

What a delightful place to eat, staff are welcoming and friendly food is very good, it's our go to place to eat now.

Excellent lunch. Staff very helpful and will recommend to friends and family.

We actually live local to this pub and go there often. It is a lovely cosy atmosphere, one of the few pubs which still feel homey. The food is always delicious, home made, and nicely presented. The staff are always friendly and happy to help...

Clean .staff friendly . plenty of room outside

Great place, to eat and drink, shame about the parking

Good food, great people and good prices.Rob and all his staff put on loads of great food and looked after us all , for our family and friends get together on Saturday night..

Excellent service. Great sharing platters with plenty for all. Nice outside seating under canvas.

Gasping for a drink to quench the thirst was on the agenda. Not been in for years but pleasantly surprised how much it had improved. Just sat outside and watched the world go by.

Rather thirsty so called in for a pint. First time in for years. Rather impressed by what i saw. A lot better than i remember.

Good food, friendly staff and good atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.

Excellent food and great staff . Parking isn't the best but food and staff make up for it

Great service, I only drink lager but it was spot on

Very accommodating staff and owner. Had some lovely drinks outside. Would recommend.

Lovely, welcoming place and delicious Sunday lunch! Fast and friendly service from Abby and James
