Stubbing Wharf in Calderdale

Fabulous place. Went there last night for dinner and it couldn’t have been better. The pie was fabulous - and served with a delicious gravy and plenty of chips (no measly half portions here!). The wine was lovely and very reasonably priced. And the people working there were knowledgeable, polite and all-round smashing. We will be going back very soon.

not bad used the cheap lunch menu £ 26 for cou0le of meals, one burger and chips nice, I'd stick to good old fashioned plain chips mind and a cauli veg pie and chips gravy lovely meals nice but nothing to write home about but ok I do wish they would pressure clean the flags do look grubby!! and then seal them brighten up the rooms! furniture looked a bit shabby...but main menu looked expensive for a pub.. overall 6 out of 10 might return on a good day.

Only one Malt whisky on offer, but a lovely NZ Sauvignon Blanc. Also no non dairy milk alternative to offer for tea or coffee, strange in this day and age... Need to pay attention to the basics. Other than that, food looked lovely. We will give it another try as it looked like new owners.

This was really outstanding, especially for the price. I came here a few times under the previous management and it was ok, but fairly basic pub grub. The new food though is really, really good. I went for a hot honey chicken burger, which was absolutely great and genuinely these were some of the best chips I've had anywhere. I eat out a lot and often pay substantially more for food that is not on this level. Looking forward to my next visit!

Quirky place on the side of the canal, with a steep turn up from the main road, but large enough car park. We ordered a Sunday Lunch sharing platter, it was a few more quid than 2 individual Sunday lunches, but we're celebrating, so why not. Sadly disappointed in the amount of food, half of it must have been less than a normal meal, unless it's usually served on a tea plate. It left my partner hungry. Was more mashed potato than anything else. The taste, quality, and quantity was medíocre, nothing to rush back for. What a shame. We were given a time slot to be away from our table, as it was booked for a 2nd sitting, so you can't stay and chat there, which feels a little unwelcoming. Nicely situated for a walk along the canal afterwards, but you probably can't leave your vehicle after you've left the premises.

Had our wedding reception here, changed hands since then, but the foods still great. Lots of great memories. Great for a pint and chips.

We recommended by some friends to give this pub another try, it was bought by a chain some time ago, and when we visited it was rubbish. The newish owners have done wonders with the menu, lots of choice, with different meals plus the standard classics. Specials board mostly sold out, always a good sign of quality, dog friendly always a bonus, good choice of ales, friendly staff. We had the spicy lamb with Yorkshire chorizo stew, mash , crispy kale, toasted ciabatta, brisket and red wine pot pie, handmade rosemary chips, mushy peas, and beer and onion gravy. We managed to get a table, but it was very busy. I recommend booking, plenty of tables, and I think they have more upstairs. You can access the canal at the rear of the pub to walk into Hebden Bridge after eating, outside seating is available at the front and rear of the pub. Will definitely return so why not see for yourself, congratulations to all of the team for a lovely lunch, pre Strictly.

Lovely pub with really good, locally-sourced food. And it's reasonably priced as well. Very impressed (and we're fussy!)

Stayed overnight in our motorhome. Nice walk along canal into Hebden Bridge centre

What a find this pub is, the food was fantastic and at decent prices too.

Family of 4 (pre-booking) visited today for a much needed Sunday lunch, very little room for improvement, mains and deserts went down a treat. The portions are excellent and exactly what you expect from dining out, with a perfect balance between quantity, quality and cost. Staff are super friendly and the atmosphere is subtle and welcoming, dogs are welcome also with treats and water ready to accommodate the fury friends. Will definitely visit again, highly recommended.

This is a lovely pub. The ambience is great, as is the service. However, on my latest visit, I was not impressed with the heavy consistency of the ciabatta or th e chips, although plentiful, were overcooked or precooked and not heated up properly as they were dried out. A few weeks later I have not had a reply discussing the issues I had. Disappointing!

I arrived a bit late for lunch around 3pm. Unfortunately, despite being ravenous the food was disappointing. Perhaps had I arrived earlier the meat, which was dry and tough, would have spent less time being kept warm and losing its moisture. The cauliflower cheese was also lacklustre being more bechamel than cheese, but the large, crispy roast potatoes and flavorful gravy saved the meal. The purple sprouting broccoli was perfectly cooked, as were the roasted half carrot and half parsnip, if only there was a slightly larger portion of them. The service was great—friendly and attentive staff. The pub is a lovely spot to sit outside by the canal in good weather. I would return for a pint by the canal-side but would not recommend a visit for food.

Excellent food in lovely location next to canal and easy walk into town

Lovely Friday late afternoon tea with our 12 year old grandson and dog . Relaxed and a lovely relaxed comfortable pub . Had chicken burgers and the lamb kebab followed by the Devine baileys cheesecake . All was delicious

Popped in for couple of drinks after walk along the canal Extremely friendly service clean pub and top beer tables on canal

We had a really poor roast pork dinner. Waited ages so had high hopes but it was pretty bland and not cooked well, there wasn't anything on the plate that we enjoyed. Really disappointed considering such a nice location and atmosphere downstairs.

Fabulous canalside restaurant / pub. The food is delicious, and the vegetarian options exceptional, the cauliflower and smoked cheese pot pie, to die for. Ate there with friends who all had meat options, and everything was spot on. Delicious, hot and homemade chips. Good selection or beers and wine. Enjoyed it so much we went for lunch a day later and the same experience. The cauliflower and pototoe burger with butter bean hummus another veggie delight. Dog friendly and a nice fire for the chilly days.

Location is ace. That's why I go here. Lovely pub beside barge canal. Staff are alreet nowt spesh. Ales are ok. Would like more vocation IPA's. Food is ok, came for Xmas, was average. Recently Sunday roast was 1 carrot, 1 parsnip ,decent mash , dry beef. But I'd go again...because of view

Booked here for a weekend barge trip and weren't disappointed. 3 excellent meals good priced craft beer and excellent friendly service from Harry. Thank you👍 definitely recommend

Absolutely fantastic food and great service. We had a table upstairs as they were all reserved downstairs. Only criticism is that it was cold upstairs.

This was our first time here. It was quite busy when we got there a lot of people eating. Would definitely call again and have something to eat

Food was ok but a bit expensive. Portion size ok but not generous. Food quality was good but not exceptional. Service was very slow.

Nice pub plenty of parking . Food was nice apart from onions rings were fatty tasting so left them but the rest was lovely. You can have a nice walk along the canal afterwards

We visited pub today with a friend and my husband.Place was busy for a Wednesday. Food was okay nothing to cry home about.I ordered a chicken burger, explain to waiter that I need gluten free without breadcrumbs Waited quite a bit I thought they went out to find a chicken When my food arrived plate was very hot and chicken was lukewarm with two slices of gluten free bread ,I wasn’t impressed and return chicken back . I was disappointed as I was looking forward to have lunch ,ended a bowl of fries Will I return again I’m not sure

I heard it was taking over with new management Menu is okay not a lot of gluten free food available I ordered a chicken burger they offered gluten free bread ,waited for half hour which I didn’t mind at least it’s fresh ,not cook in a microwave My chicken burger arrived with two slices of bread ,chicken was like warm plate was very hot obviously it was under hot plate.I was so disappointed as I was looking forward to it

We parked up here in our van for the night for the price of a meal. After reading recent reviews, we were sceptical but thought we’d give it a chance. We were so glad we did! Honestly - the food is freshly prepared and absolutely gorgeous. The chips are home made and the portions are great. An absolute gem of a find - lovely staff, dog friendly and just an all round lovely pub. We’ll be back!

I think it's worth the drive, or walk along the canal. If driving, it's hidden off the main road, over a narrow hump-back bridge. Small car park. Nice decor, good feel. Pleasant staff, who seem friendly towards each other. The menu is varied, as you would expect on a pub menu.

The food was superb especially the steak pie. Great atmosphere. The only downside was having to wait over an hour for our food to arrive.

Paid £16.95 for roast beef dinner, menu said it came with vegetables, it was one carrot, kale a tablespoon full if you put it in your mouth altogether, cauliflower, it tasted a little like cauliflower but did not resemble it, meat was pale , thin, fatty and undercooked , which I except the undercooked but not to my liking, gravy was short in supply and very sepid looking, yet table next to us got gravy separate in a jug, much bigger plate too, I think we may have been at the end of the queue. Mash was very hot, but rest of it just warm.

Lovely lunch, had the dinner time main meal deal, small haddock, chips, and peas £10, great value. Lemon cheesecake lovely, too. Friendly helpful staff aswell.

Very nice food, definitely call again, price wise for two people, 3 course £60 ish. Great food

Only had drinks so can't comment on the food, but it did look and smell lovely. Lovely atmosphere.

Really friendly pub Good food and excellent service

Absolutely loved the experience

The food was fabulous, home cooked, and a great choice. I couldn't fault anything. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Facilities were great. I would go back again .

Thankfully back to its best.. We went there for a family dinner and could not fault our experience. Food was great, the new staff could not do enough for us, and the general buzz about the place was back to what it was in its "Hay-Day" Congratulations and thanks for such a great meal.. We will be back soon!

Wow! The stubbing wharf back to how it should be! Lovely friendly welcome, restaurants clean and tidy, staff are friendly and very obliging. My third visit for food and it’s been excellent. Love the variety on the menu. Well done to the New Managers.

Sadly, when this place changed hands we were promised a whole new experience. Ok, so the massive tv screens have gone that is a point in their favour. I booked a table and it was ready for me so that was a good start, What wasn't obvious was what I was supposed to about ordering my food and drink. There are still signs up from the previous owners telling people where to order food that isn't true anymore. So, I went to the bar and ordered eventually as there clearly weren't enough bar staff and one of them seemed to be in a day dream. I went back to my table and then was told that the meal I had ordered had sold out. Surely with today's technology that should have been made clear to the person taking my order. Ok, these things happen. So I ordered a fish sandwich. What arrived was actually ok but, the fish barely covered half of the panini it came in. I have been told by friends that they weren't very impressed either. In their defence, they are a very new team of people (some of whom need to b let go of) and hopefully the service will improve but, they need to upgrade the food if they are hoping to attract locals rather than one off tourists. I will try again in a few months time and hopefully they will have ironed out most of the issues mentioned here.

Although we had booked, had to wait an hour for food. Food was ok nothing special and definitely not worth the price of just short of £17 each for Sunday dinner which consisted of beef, 2 roast potatoes, small scoop of mash, medium sized yorkshire pudding, bit of kale, 1 Carrot, piece of onion and cauliflower cheese. Was looking forward to going but left disappointed.

First time here...its a great stop off location for a pint on the walk between Todmorden and Hebden Bridge.Really nice staff and good variety of ales...food looked great but we didn't try it as we had a reservation elsewhere ...Will be back.

We haven’t been to Stubbing Wharf for some years, and only visit Stubbing Wharf when we visit are daughter who lives in Hebden Bridge. I take it that there is new ownership, well the food is amazing specially the rib eyed stake, it’s a pleasant pub and not to expensive. I have dropped it 1 Star for a remedial thing that should never happen, and that was the food came with a chipped plate. But this did not take away from the good food. This is the second time in a week I have been to Stubbing Wharf, this time was for a Sunday roast, wow this is how food should be full of flavour and not stingy on the portions. The week before we went to a pub/restaurant which is above Todmorden, That place could learn a lot from Stubbing wharf. That place left out vegetables are saying that they run out in the morning. There are potatoes, was one small spud, cut in half, A spoonful of mash, a large Yorkshire pudding gravy and meat and some greens. When we left Stubbing Wharf we knew we had a lovely Roast like we have down inthe West Country. When we return to Hebden Bridge to see are family, Well I know where to come next time.

2 pints of Timothy Taylor landlord very nice no food but looked nice very busy

A little expensive on the beer but good service and food Food could have more than 4 straps of chicken

Wow what can I say, I've been before with numerous previous owners and nothing compares to tonights experience. I came announced even though it was very busy but as soon as we chose our table we went to the bar to order and we was advised it may take longer as they had been pushed back by a late arrival of large party but as soon as we put my order in they said they would be able to get it out much quicker and to that they did. The food came and it was a decent portion and tasted/looked like we were the only guests on the restaurant. We will certainly be returning, see you soon!

Was good but now full of TV's and the food is not as good as the previous landlords

Popped in for some food, they had a long wait and the menu on the day was 'reduced' so regrettably we didn't stay.

We've only stopped on many occasions for a drink when we walk the canal. Never eaten here but the food does look lovely when it comes through. As a Pit stop for a pint on a walk it's excellent, prices ok and friendly staff.

Very disappointed arrived at 7.15pm Wednesday evening to be told no food been served, as there was no chef. Certainly won’t be rushing back if food is not guaranteed.

Decent canal side boozer with awesome views. Drinks a little pricey.

Lovely pub in a lovely location.

We've been coming to the pub for the last 4 years and use it as a base for walks on the canal. We always stop and have drinks and food after our walk, and generally, both have been very good. We've recommended the pub to lots of friends and they've used it too. Yesterday, we brought my elderly father for lunch and couldn't believe the change in the few weeks since our last visit. Firstly, the place was filthy. The carpet under our table was disgusting, and as we found out that the people on the next table who were regulars to the pub had noticed it too, and having seen this, they were refusing to order food. The toilets are a disgrace and in need of renovation. I ordered the chicken tikka masala from the menu, and it was a microwaved meal with four pieces of chicken and the tiniest nann bread ever that was like cardboard and inedible. My wife's Hunter's chicken was well below par too. I really didn't want to complain as it was a treat from my father for an upcoming birthday meal. The barman, who is always very nicely confessed that the food was microwaved meals and would remove the curry from the bill and this was without my father knowing, thankfully he was at the toilet at the time. It's very disappointing as we love going, but we won't return until it hopefully changes the way the food is cooked and the place is cleaned.

Very expensive for average wine.

Average pub food but great staff and a friendly atmosphere

Nice setting. Good menu but disappointing. Portion size of beef chilli very small and pricey at £13.99. Ladies toilets condition poor. Only one in use, scruffy facilities and taps on basins all leaking.

Lasagne burnt to a frizzle unedible, No problem!, waitresses very understanding took it away and brought alternative grilled or planchared gammon, edible but just! Way to thin and again overcooked. Eventually table cleared and fancied a sweet. Had to go to the bar and order. Quiet a while before latice cheese cake and other sweet came. Again disappointed as the cheese cake was still half frozen when started to eat it! Good point the chicken Tina masala with rice was OK. Naturally don't think we'll be eating there again.

Lovely pub, very clean, they have a lovely place on the canal to sit and enjoy your meal and drink

Really nice pub. The staff were very friendly and the food was good.

Lovely pub. Only had a lite bite and a pint but the benches around the back, near the canal are lovely. Will definitely be back.

Hi ,I have just been tonight to celebrate my son’s birthday,wow,the food was amazing thank you so much to Sam,the service was excellent, thank you so much to the lovely Esme and Chris,you all went out of your way to make my son’s birthday meal amazing ,he loved it so much,the food,service and the decorations were amazing ,Thank you all so much.ian

Great pub. Food lovely, we had curry and gammon. Really friendly, helpful staff and music pleasant and not too loud you could have a conversation without shouting. Will visit again!

The one asset this pub/restaurant has is it's staff who are welcoming,warm and helpful. The food however is abysmal...instant mashed potato ( last seen and eaten in the 70's) frozen chips which looked like scrapings .,. here's hoping a landlord will soon replace the ghastly regime imposed by the owning company!

The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly .. you reap what you sow in terms of service and they were great. They looked after my little dog Stanley as if he were their own. Thank you ALL

Only stopped for a drink, but what a great spot.

Great pub, warm welcome menu catered for all. Can't wait to return

Didn't eat here, just stopped for a drink. Lovely place with a good menu. Friendly staff and lovely location on the canal. Worth a visit if you are in the area

Great little pub by the canal. Good food and beer.

Attended wedding reception in upper room with direct access to outside seating and the canal. Good food

Soggy batter on the fish. Food served luke warm. Decent sized portions. Pub needed a good clean. Staff seemed overworked but did their best.

Bank Holiday is always busy and some allowance has to be given for that, but there are now too many tables crammed together and the food wasn't good

Great eatery & watering hole on the side of Rochdale Canal just outside Hebden Bridge. Walker & dog friendly.

Great pub, tasty food, nice staff and fabulous location.

In fairness, the grill had broken so the menu was limited It should all be good when you visit

Good food ar reasonable price. Great friendly staff. Able to walk on canal

Great little place, lovely food and great service.

Comfortable pub on the bank of the canal.

Didn't have any food, just a drink, we liked it and will calling again.

Great pub campervan stopover. However, it isn't really suited for large motorhomes. This is another pub that does great food and with or without our camper, we'd visit this place again! 😀 Thanks for letting us stay! Claire & Nigel

Had a drink only. If you have a walk on the canal call in for a drink or food, they can't do enough for you.

Top class food, excellent service

Always Enjoy. Menu has slipped a bit though and my fish needed another 90 seconds in the fryer. Staff buisines wise and pleasant but that personal touch has gone

We've been here before and it's a really nice, friendly atmosphere. Staff are always great, polite and accommodating. The pub is situated on the canal with nice views, a good seated outdoor area and it is dog friendly so you always see a lot of cute dogs which is a bonus ! The food is so good here, each time i try to get something different - myself and my partner got the smothered chicken burger with an extra chicken burger on each and they were huge ! The chips that come with it were lovely and we got beer battered onion rings which were extremely reasonably priced at 1.99 and delicious ! My father in law got the mixed grill which he said was amazing, it was a massive plate of food and he added peppercorn sauce which he said was the best he had had. For dessert we chose the brownie duo which comes with ice cream - the brownie is huge and i must admit i was never keen on brownies - before i tried this one ! My father in law chose the crumble of the day which was apple and cleared the bowl. Fantastic service and great location for a pretty canal walk to walk off the fantastic food!

Me and my partner visited at the weekend. Was a wonderful experience. Food came promptly and was delicious. The staff were helpful and attentive. We will be back!

Great place, good location, friendly staff

A great pub on the side of the canal serving great food and drink with very friendly staff. Recommend you give it a go and visit.

Excellent service and food. Let us park overnight in our campervan for free. Close to centre of Hebden Bridge, canal towpath behind the pub. Highly recommended for couples and families.

Myself and my partner came here today. It's in a great location along the canal with lovely scenery along the way. The staff were all very friendly and attentive and the food was excellent and portion sizes are really filling. The menu has set deals which are cheaply priced and everything else was also equally reasonable. The starter, main and dessert were brought out with impeccable timing. Lovely decor with a comfy, cozy vibe and the music was relaxed. One of the staff members saw that we were watching f1 on one of our phones and put it on the tv for us. Thank you, we will definetly be back next time we come to Hebden Bridge.

Lovely food and dog friendly which was nice!

Cosy pub, good food at reasonable price, dog friendly. What's not to like. Easy parking on private car park. Can get into canal tow path. Would go again. Burger, chips and drinks £13 (Feb23)

Lovely little pub, great location at the side of the canal. Really tasty food, nice staff. Recommend going

Nice pub food and staff very enjoyable Sunday lunch will return

Came to the Stubbing Wharf as part of a Party of 8...for an 80th Birthday Celebration.. Fabulous afternoon and evening Superb food, / Drinks. Service, Environment...first class friendly staff... made our afternoon complete...many thanks people.

Lovely pub, beautiful setting. Tasty food. They did get our pudding order wrong but quickly changed it no issues

Good service and reasonable p food and prices

Great place to eat...varied choice...got a table easily as went in early.. definitely recommend..then a walk along the canal.

Amazing pub and location. Very welcoming and atmosphere.

Lovely place good service but disappointing steak & ale pie - not much meat other than that nice experience

Very poor experience. Food was disappointing and when we spoke to the waitressshe was disinterested. I emailed the pub giving detailed reasons for our disappointment and had no reply. Definitely would not recommend! Despite having booked we had to wait over an hour for our food.

Very nice food and a beautiful location

This place was the best food I have had in years❤️, thank you staff and the service was amazing, and so was the sanitation of the toilets and tables
