Moorlands Inn in Calderdale

We came here last night (Saturday evening ) & it was a fabulous atmosphere the staff was so lovely all smiling & you could tell they enjoyed there job they wanted to be there . The food was amazing , there was 4 off us & we all had different but it all looked lovely & colourful too , . It was mine & my husbands first time going , but my son & daughter in law have been a couple of times but will definitely be going again .

The restaurant was pretty empty, food was mediocre but way overpriced, we were going to order desert but when no one came over to us for over 40 minutes we went to pay, were given someone else’s bill first as they didn’t know where we’d been sat - figured, won’t be back I’m afraid which is a shame as I’ve been here a few times before and it was lovely back then, the pubs also had a make over, for the worse, boring grey walls and no more cosy open fire, ruined the feel of the pub for me

The food was very poorly cooked and the wait for it to arrive was outrageously long, over an hour at the least. It’s a shame because I hoped the food was going to be homely and filling, instead it tasted stale and flavourless, with the Stilton cheese being extremely salty. I will not be eating here again.

Overpriced, average pub food at best. Will not be returning again which is a shame as it used to be a nice place to go but the quality of food has gone down as the prices have gone up. Loads of other places to go In the same area that have better food and at better prices too

Went for a meal on Wednesday we were seated at 5.15pm six in our party all ordered separate individual meals the early bird has finished and replaced with a 25% discount which was fine. Meal was okay no problem at all but drinks were very expensive. When we came to pay approx 7pm I was told by a tall blonde rude lady the 25% wasn’t eligible as after 7pm I explained we were seated at 5.15pm and ordered, her attitude was unbelievable, we finally got the 25% discount but the gentleman at the side of me side said he had been spoken to really rudely too and the service was appalling and had been for a while, we will not be going again. We were going to book a Christmas meal for ten but certainly don’t want the service we had today. Been going to the Moorlands for years but the standards have certainly dropped, the blonde waitress needs to have some training in etiquette.

Always really lovely polite staff. Food is beautiful. I love the chicken and stuffing baguette my little boy loves the brownie :) bonus with the 25% off on Facebook. Definitely be back 😊

My wife and I go to Moorlands every week with our grandson and usually have the £10 pp early bird menu. We went today as usual but noticed the early bird menu wasn’t available and mentioned it to the waiting staff who said this had been replaced with a 25% discount off all food which we said was fine. The food and staff were good as usual but when the bill came it didn’t include a 25% discount. We mentioned this to the waitress who said do you want me to take the 25% off the bill which of course we said yes. I asked why it hadn’t been deducted and she said the customer has to actually ask for it when paying the bill!! I think this is terrible and I feel it is deceitful and the owners are relying on people not knowing or asking, they should know better, the discount came to £16. We will not be going back anytime soon which is a shame. Btw they are still advertising the £10 early bird offer on their website. Spread the word, we will be doing.

We go regular, I have anaphylaxis, and other dietary requirements. So I can be quite fussy often requesting things that aren't on the menu, the staff, Laura, ( manager) in particular always goes above and beyond to make sure I am safe abd happy. I can't recommend moorlands enough for there quality, friendliness, and service. Well done moorlands you set an amazing standard.

All of the staff were very friendly & helpful. The food was delicious & very generous portions. It was extremely busy but the service was very efficient. Will definitely return.

Poor just poor we have been regular customers over the past few years but this year has been the worst poor service,poor food. I’m gluten free and the pizza take out have always been amazing, but not anymore frozen commercial base 14 pound each, when bought at the pub a lot cheaper avoid at all cost bloody nasty and so not worth the price. Talk about taking advantage of your local community

Outstanding service by really motivated staff, truly outstanding food and a 'booth' environment that keeps the noise down and allows for proper conversation. Our second visit and the level of quality has been maintained - now on our list of future visits.

This place has gone down hill fast since my last visit. waited an hour for someone to take our food order, during this time we asked twice if we could order. staff said they would get someone and just disappeared. after our plates were cleared from our stater it took 45 min for our main to turn up which was cold and not very nice. went to the toilet and the cupboard door is hanging off broken and the toilet seat was broken. the chairs in the restaurant wobble whilst you sit on them

Oh my word I love this place meals are so nice had a lovely roast beef dinner today lovely meal lovely service spot on .can't fault it

Visited with family to use a promotion they had on in February. After reading a lot of mediocre reviews I wasn’t sure what to expect. Thankfully my personal experience was great. Table was ready when we arrived. Despite it being very busy, drinks and food were ordered and arrived in good time. All the food was hot… not warm. Service was spot on. Going back next week.

We have just been for my husband and sister birthday we have been before and the food was very good ,this time the steak was horrible very tough and hard to cut worse meal we have ever had the chips were over cooked and very brown the oil needs changing not be going back

Thought we would have a family treat found out they had a meal deal on .tried the moorlands steak pie with trimmings well nice...fantastic choice of the deal menu food arrived quickly to say it was busy . Staff spot on well helpful lovely venue clean and warm ...back next week 👍

Food is OK but is well overpriced (£20 for gammon and £18 for steak pie). We’ve enjoyed meals at the Moorlands over the years but have stopped going on a regular basis simply because you can get better value in similar pubs elsewhere in the area.

Very nice little pub , good food but pricey for what received. One major thing that let this visit down was overall customer service. The reason for this was we felt very rushed into ordering and I thought the manager of that night came across quite rude and acted as though she did not want to be there at all, very unprofessional and was quite upsetting for us as we was really looking forward to this visit.

Why spend all that money on beautiful decor but not the food!!! The food is terrible and so overpriced.Go to KFC instead at lease you know where you stand.

We have come out for a family Christmas meal and never left anywhere so disappointed. First of all when our meals came out it was apparent one was missing we questioned staff who advised us while the rest of the family was eating that this meal was unavailable and they could change it for a chicken curry… not once came over to say the meal ordered was unavailable or to give chance to choose another. chicken curry was not an alternative for the sea bass special we asked for. Which left one member of the family without a meal, which was a total embarrassment. The meals we did get were average and not at all worth the money, The £30 beef special got taken home for the dogs as it was chewy and inedible. At the end not one member of staff took accountability for their mistake and instead all brushed it off as they couldn’t have done anything else for us, I’m guessing by this they mean the curry they offered us which was a little too late. No gestures we’re made or not even an apology instead the waitress was coming back and forth to our table interrupting a conversation between us and the manager Tracy who was no where to be seen and didn’t even have the decency to come out and deal with the situation herself which I thought would have been the managers role. The waitress left dealing with it was not even capable of a conversation without pulling rude faces at us and being argumentative, it was a total disgrace to say the least. As local people who come here often I can honestly say I will not ever be returning to this place how we was treated in this situation was disgusting, we left totally embarrassed and £300 down! This place has really gone down hill and clearly become too greedy, a meal to remember for all the worst reasons.

The family manager and a member of staff were very rude and this upset us as we also had children with us. The food was not great. The most polite member of staff was a young chappy working behind the bar that did his best to help despite his manager. We would definitely not go back. A crying shame considering we were there with quite a few family members- some of which were having their first experience of this place.

Extremely poor value for money this evening. Thankfully the pub isn't usually like this. Magical tour of the winter wonderland took about 2 minutes, with 4 lit snowmen/ Santa's and a couple of hundred yards of lights. No opportunity to feed the reindeer as advertised and no interaction by the staff who just stood at the back. Queued in the rain to get back into the marquee. Standard £8 charge per adult/teenager which included a festive drink - a hot chocolate or mulled wine. No soft drink alternative and staff not really interested. Up by 60% on last year. £20 per child with little interaction from the 'elves' whilst waiting for Santa. Jigsaw for a 3 year old which costs £1.50 online. The only person of any value was actually Santa who was really engaging. All negative comments on Facebook appear to gave been removed.

Lovely meal nice setting good staff . Been here twice recently and food is always good . We got early bird offer which was a nice bonus knocked of our bill 25 percent which we did not know about .

Booked a table for 15 people to celebrate my daughters up coming 18th birthday. Jodie was great answering my many emails before booking to make sure everything would be ok. We were positioned well in the restaurant, but the table orientation could have been better positioned as some of the guest had their backs to each other and was hard to chat to all. Service from all the staff from bar to waitresses was very good and they even put our balloons and banners up before we arrived. Food was great and all came out together so that was good. Overall a good night was had

Lovely place, amazing food and service. Fairly priced, good variety definitely worth a visit and in my top 10 of places to eat.

Have been coming here for a lot of years and have always loved the amazing Steak Pie. Last 2 visits there has been a change in the pie and it now has (quite large) chunks of potato in it. The first time I thought it...

Great menu unless you are vegetarian!!! When I asked why there weren’t more the woman couldn’t care less & said there’s enough on!!! So guess we won’t be going there again!! Bad attitude!

Used to love this place and go every 2 to 3 weeks. We have now stopped going due it being hugely overpriced. A meal for 2 with a drink used to be around 15-20 pounds at lunch. Now it works out 30-35 at least. ....

This is one of our go to restaurants whenever we want good quality value for money food and have the pleasure this week to sample the new improved menu. I had a 20 layer lasagna and I can say it was the best I have...

The food is overpriced poor menu dont like burgers feel crammed in tables small Drink prices are just a rip off bottle villa maria £25 morrisons £8.50 beer and a GT £14 75

This is our go to place for date night! I cannot recommend this place highly enough! It’s set in a beautiful location with outside seating and a play area if you want to bring the kids! The food is amazing and of the best quality....

We attended the 90’s Brunch event this weekend just gone and it was absolutely fantastic. Staff were amazing, cocktails were fab, food was gorgeous (I had halloumi & peri peri fries) and the music was brilliant. Really good atmosphere and beautiful outdoor space to use...

Used to be good more like a cheap Blackpool cafe now food is very poor and over priced would never use again

The food was lovely! And the service was spot on! Really reasonably priced aswell and it’s location is beautiful! Thank you :)

Booked a table for 6:30, for 4 people. Arrived on time and was given menus. After getting drinks we ordered food at 6:40 and waited…and waited….and waited. Got to 7:25 and thought I’d better ask how long the food was going to be as we...

Very good food and happy friendly staff! Warm environment and attentive. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

My family and i along with the children, attended the mothers day event in the marquee for a 3 course carvery lunch. The food was delicious as always!. The meat is always cooked perfectly and not tough or fatty, fluffy yorkshire puds and crispy roasties...

Was a bit reluctant to go on this family meal out with having a 2 yr old that needs extra attention was made easy 1st time in a long time I haven’t wanted to leave as soon as I arrived at a restaurant . well...

We booked the Mother’s Day carvery and so glad we did! This was not your standard carvery…fresh piping hot veg brought to the table once you had gone up for your meat. I usually steer away from carvery’s purely because the vegetables have normally been...

Came here for tea with three of my friends and we absolutely loved it. Service couldn’t have been better - they were very attentive. We had steak pie, chicken & peppercorn and special salmon. We all had a dessert also. Will defiantly be returning!

We always enjoy the Moorlands as a treat for our family. The staff is friendly and very helpful and the food always delicious.

We went on the 4th March 2023 My wife myself. Son daughter inlaw and grandchild 7 months. My wife and I travelled over from Manchester to meet our son for a family meal together. A fantastic choice of venue, superb friendly staff very attentive and...

We’ve been before but really disappointed when we arrived for a drink and meal today to be told that it is no longer dog friendly. So we then went to the Causeway Foot which was great.

The marquee was beautiful. The food was a supper and 4 half's of hot dog for a table of 8 and chilli. They could of at least done one per person. Was nothing special in all honesty. BUT THE WORST was the tribute. I have...

Firstly I’ve always been an advocate of the Moorlands, you’ll see a previous 5 star review. It’s definitely not as good as it was. Burgers now come with no garnish, not even a bit of salad. Makes it look a bit incomplete. We’ve visited twice...

5 of us went for Sunday lunch. It was the 4th time me and my husband have been here, but it was the 1st time the other 3 of our group had been there. The food was 100% delicious. We started with onion bhaji they...

So £30 each to watch a band on NYE ( which were very good), the food included was absolutely shocking, burnt , small portion, we have been previously at NYE twice which were not great but decided to give them another chance, never again.

We booked for today having had a pleasant meal last week for myself, my brother and my 99 year old mum who we wanted to take out for Christmas Lunch. The booking was for 12.30 and we requested the table we had last week which...

Very disappointing, poor service, had to wait an hour for our food. Could see through to kitchen & young male staff fighting & messing about. Had to go to bar for our orders on every course, no one came to us. Sprouts had & not...

I absolutely agree with the review about the tables last year round ones this year rectangle ones not enough room to move. We were very squashed in the management did bring another table to extend it but space was tight. Also our table was next...

Went on a Christmas party, we were a large group in the marquee, about 300 in total. Things were quite well organised and the staff were good. Big concern was spacing, we were packed in like sardines and it was hard to sit comfortably or...

Last year we came to the Christmas party night and it was amazing I gave it an excellent review. Based on that we came again this year with two groups of friends and how different it was. Last year we had a round table and...

Went today 26/11/22 for husband's birthday as a treat from my son we had 2 lasagna 1 fish&chips and 1 chicken burger 2 cheesecakes and 1 sundae very prompt and efficient service very nice food once again highly recommend the moorlands

My partner visited the Moorlands with a group of work friends. They had a table for a meal and drinks. No standing at the bar even for drinks have to be sat down at all times. Some of the party had starters which were quite...

The burgers were OK, nothing special and not something that we would recommend or order again. The chips were very pale and didn't really taste of anything. Onion rings were tiny and looked like frozen ones you buy from the supermarket. Not worth the money...

The food was brilliant, very tasty. Kids meals came out first - thank you 😊 Good portion size everyone was happy. We just got forgotten about after the pudding came out (which were great by the way). I had to flag down a member of...

Fantastic service Steak cooked to perfection as requested Incredible food Lovely atmosphere 100% will be back

My partner and I ordered Sunday lunch. My partner had the beef, which he said was very nice. I had roast chicken which was awful, very tough, my feeling is that it had been warmed up in the microwave. Worst Sunday lunch I have ever...

Went for a birthday meal for myself and my family, atmosphere was good… very busy as there was a wedding on at the time we went at 5pm. Food served in good time.. but we all thought it was overpriced… and one of my daughters...

Our daughter finally got married here at the end of May after two postponements. During covid the staff made significant changes to the wedding venue. The outdoor areas have been improved and the venue itself extended to accommodate a larger bar area and a separate...

Arrived here at 1.15pm on a sunny Tuesday afternoon having heard so many good reviews and especially the wedding venue reviews. But ordered a glass of wine each and then asked if we were sitting outside or in we said outside and the bar tender...

We came on Thursday 23rd June. A very much needed date night and celebrations. We haven't been for a while and we said we'd go for a treat. Both ordered a starter - pate and garlic mushrooms. First of all portion sizes are much smaller...

Enjoyed a Friday night tea. The food was very good and plentiful. The menu caters to both vegetarian and meat eaters. Cannot fault the service especially as we had a £20 loyalty voucher. We will be booking again

Washout, we felt most dissatisfied and our money was taken under false pretences. We booked 4 tickets for a queen tribute IN THE PAVILLION, which would have been fine, as it's large and caters for weddings. On arrival we were told it was outside, having...

Went for lunch today and there was a menu with 50 per cent off certain meals which both my husband and I chose but when the bill arrived we were charged full price. Surely if the 50 per cent menus were on the table we...

What a shame, the food here tastes amazing, we visited when it was the half price January offer and the portion sizes where great too. However the service isn't upto scratch, to say it wasn't even busy and there was plenty of staff it took...

Very nice food and quick, friendly service. Will definitely be back soon! Cheesecake was fabulous well worth the travel

It’s been a while since I’ve been back to the Moorlands after a few bad meals through COVID. Although prior to COVID I really enjoyed the food and atmosphere of Moorlands and I was a regular there for Sunday lunch. The restaurant has been refurbished...

Pre Christmas catch up with friends and kids. Good selection of drinks on offer. Great tasting food. Belly pork starter special was spot on. Couldn’t fault the service as the food came out at a good time. Staff were always about checking things were okay...

Went here on Sunday as a party of 12, they took our booking as a 2pm booking and changed it to a 2.30pm booking by means of leaving a voicemail on a mobile, meaning we were hanging around for half an hour whilst the people...

I’ve visited the Moorlands many times over the past 5 years, food and service are both excellent, as is the value for money. The beef in particular is always a treat, and is my go to when visiting with family or friends 😄

We have visited the moorlands on many occasions as a table of 2 and up to a table of 12, on a week day or a weekend, for lunch or for dinner and EVERY TIME this place delivers on quality of food and service. The...

Visited The Moorlands tonight and thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Served attentively by Sophie and Tia with friendly politeness and efficiency. The food was amazing, standard starters from the normal menu, the garlic cheese fingers are to die for and my all time favourite starter followed...

Wonderful, best burger around. Please don’t listen to the moaners - given the number of 1 star ratings in a short space of time I smell a big rat. In any case some people moan about ANYTHING! We will be back - if you keep...

Visited with my hubby and had to have the Steak pie which is always delicious. Staff can't do enough to make the visit a great experience and always make sure our visit is a welcoming one. Will be going again very soon and can highly...

Came for Sunday lunch last week with my family, the food was lovely and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Very quick service and will be returning.

Moorlands is amazing every time I go. From the service, staff and the food. Food is absolutely incredible and there’s always a huge range to choose from. You can go for something healthy, authentic home made curries, or proper British grub to name a few...

Staff are always really friendly, We held a baby brunch for a new mum & the team went above and beyond to make the day special for us with our own private area!

To say i was looking forward to this outing with my family is understatement so disappointed with allocated table really for 6 people, 7 of us. The food was abysmal, how you get away with serving this rubbish at inflated prices is beyond my comprehension....

This night was an absolute shambles, if it wasn’t for good company on surrounding tables we would have left after the first hour. It was £7 per ticket which was entry only, no welcome drink no nibbles or anything which would be fine however with...

Incredibly disappointed. We’ve been to this pub many times before and had amazing food but the service can be hit and miss but the food always makes up for it but not tonight. Some of the staff really need more training in customer service it’s...

First time we went here about a month ago everything was great, lovely food, quick service but this was mid afternoon during the week. Second time we came the service was okay (midweek evening time) but the pizzas weren't the best in my opinion, they...
