Stubbing Wharf in Calderdale

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.

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.

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 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

Excellent food, great atmosphere and very friendly staff.

Great place to visit, lovely bar staff and the waitress on the day was superb considering how busy the afternoon was. 5stars.

Rather a disappointing experience. Having been to the Stubbins for many years, it seems to have gone down the pan. Two weeks before Christmas and the place was cold! I fully understand that pubs need to make a profit but, no heating on and, a lovely inviting open fire unlit? Ok, a member of the staff did light the fire but, not until 12.30 ish, shurely the heating etc. should have been on scince 11.00? The food was ok, nothing special. I for one will find a different place to eat. Such a shame as it used to be a cracking pub ☹.

Excellent atmosphere and a good selection of beer and specials

A lovely pub on the canal.. loads of tables. Very lovely staff and nice food

This is a lovely pub situated next to the canal, with great beers and lovely staff. I'm afraid however, that the food is patchy at best. Both of our meals were sub-par. My pasta was bland, as was the meat pie, which was served with potato that tasted like Smash - remember that from the 70's? 😳 The gravy was solid. ☹️ I'll put it down to bad luck/bad day, because so many of the reviews here are fantastic. There's far better in Hebden - go find it.

A lovely place friendly staff excellent service great place to pop in when walking on the canal

Great little pub by the side of the canal with good food and a fine choice of real ales.

It could do with lighting the fire to warm the atmosphere. See you soon

We had lunch there and were very pleased with the 5 sharing plates we chose. Delicious and filling. There was a very friendly atmosphere in the pub. The staff were very efficient and also very friendly. We will certainly return and would highly recommend it to anyone who visits Hebden Bridge.

Lovely place, canal side seating, but you get what you pay for

My friend and I had a lovely meal this evening, here, for my birthday. It's a cosy pub and the food was delicious but what stood out to us the most, was the wonderful waitress. From the moment we arrived, she welcomed us and served us always with a smile. She was polite, friendly and working so hard single handedly serving everyone. She even gave my little dog a treat at the end. We left her a tip but I really wanted to thank her for making our evening a very happy one. Thank you. Jane

Very warm and friendly welcome, dog friendly, and good food. Guest cask ales as well. Right on the canal bank.

Lovely pub with good beers and decent prices. Good food too. Definitely recommended.

Nice clean pub great service we booked Christmas meal

Great Sunday lunch! Really nice inside, good atmosphere and easy to get to from town. The roast dinner was one of the best we have had, tasted like a home cooked meal. Only downside was the Yorkshire was slightly burnt and they need bigger gravy boats! For the price excellent quality, great that you can have unlimited roast potatoes etc. Good selection of beer too, and really friendly service.

Nice peaceful place with good pleasant staff. More than well worth a visit

We had quite reasonable pub food apart for the meal that the kitchen forgot to make. No real apology and service was just about acceptable. Nice beer.

Called in Friday evening for a meal. We were a party of 3, there were around another 5 people in, it's a shame really as it's a nice pub. I understand why it's not full due to the excessive price of the alcohol. Food was ok, albeit the burgers were massively overcooked. The Eton mess desert wasn't Eton mess, it was ice cream with squirty cream on top and a strawberry finely chopped on top of the squirty cream, the meringue was a quarter of a meringue nest perched on top, disappointed to say the least. Food prices were reasonable for the quality and limited choice. Probably wouldn't eat there again.

A warm and welcoming family pub

Great pub right on the Rochdale Canal. Lovey walks into Hebdon Bridge and Mytholmroyd. Staff were super helpful and friendly. Well kept local cask beers. Food nicely prepared and good value for money. Very dog friendly. Plenty of space inside and you can also sit outside on the canalside if you like.

Lovely location. We had a very nice drink here with nachos overlooking the canal. All the staff were very nice.

My extremely nervous dog was welcomed here and treated very nicely. The dog has never been able to stay inside any other pub but she seemed to take to this place and settled down on the carpet. Shout out to the young bar staff who are a credit to the place.

If you like overpriced microwaved food this is the place for you,got a pint of larger ,tasted like pipe cleaner where as the mushy peas didn't taste of anything,the portions wouldn't even fill a anorexic dog,will not be going back unless it's the only place left on earth that has food

We had a bit of a strange experience here. The positives are that the food was good and there were loads of vegan and vegetarian options. When I asked about gluten free options (there being nothing obvious on the menu I got the reply that the potato skin starter was the only option. We were about to leave when I noticed steak on the specials board. Yes they could do that without onion rings which was great. They then served it with onion rings! After an apology they took the rings away. As the server left I asked if they had any mustard? "I don't think so but I'll check". Sadly I did not see him again until after the meal. Other tables had baskets of condiments I later noted. Then as we were finishing our meal someone added gammon steak to the specials. No doubt gluten free. I have given them the benefit of the doubt with three stars , but if you are on a gf diet it is best avoided. Oh, and there was an aggressive gsd making life difficult for anyone else who had a dog. The customers fault, not the dogs and the landlord did not know what to do . I downgraded to two stars when the response showed that they had clearly not read the review suggesting they will not address the issues.

Lovely place to chill out, staffs are lovely, thank you Vicky for the good service with a lovely smile 😊 I highly recommend this place. Check out in their website for food and drinks details. The burger 🍔 were tasty and in good presentation. Clean rest room, it’s Great pub decoration, and have access to the canal and boat resto.

Nice spot for a pub lunch by the canal and the river. Baguettes and the steak and ale pie were really tasty and good value. Good service too.

Very surprised at the quality for the price, and the kid’s portion was massive! The baguettes were fresh and fully loaded, the chips were proper (double or even triple fried, certainly not frozen) and the salad was fresh and well presented. Service was fab and the setting was lovely. Worth noting that there are two outdoor sections, road side and canal side, I would definitely recommend canal side. We chose here to eat as it gave us a perfect loop to play/walk/ eat with our 3 year old and 3 dogs in tow. We parked at hebden train station (only 50p an hour make sure to take change) and then walked 5 mins to Calder Homes Park, the park had a great variety and was really well kept. We then took a nice stroll down the canal looking at the narrow boats and arrived at stubbing wharf about 25 mins later (google maps will tell you it’s 15 min walk but there were geese and boats and flowers to admire so those with little ones just need allow that extra time). Service was quick at the wharf and it was pleasantly refreshing to have a selection of non-alcoholic ales on offer. Will definitely recommend and visit again!

We’ve been a few times over the years and always enjoyed the food .traditional country pub , next to the caneL so popular with dog walkers. We thought the Covid precautions were good and felt safe . Service was good. Generous portions I had steak pie , served in the pot with a flaky pastry top and hubby had cheese and leek pie( about £12 each ) cooked fresh , both served with chunky chips and fresh mixed veg. Really nice relaxed mid week lunch

The food was, as always, decent pub food. We enjoyed it. However, the place did not feel at all well ventilated, the one-way signage is insufficient (many customers leaving by squeezing past people queueing to get in), and there was no system whatsoever for the women's toilets. Also, the waiting staff need to remember to allow customers to remove their own drinks from the trays. We'll be back, but probably not for some time (post-Covid, probably).

I went with my family on Thursday day time as we were in search of a nice pub lunch. I remember coming here before for drinks and thought the food looked good. We shared the garlic mushroom starter which was great. For mains, my mum had the gammon which came in a very generous portion, my dad had the wharf burger which he said was delicious and I had the battered haddock sandwich which was very filling and tasted great. We were full but couldn’t resist dessert where we got a sticky toffee pudding and a malteaser cheesecake to all share. They were delicious. It was great to see hand sanitizer throughout the restaurant and attentive staff in masks. Overall the stay was amazing, with great service and food. We will definitely be back!

Great fish and chips. Very helpful staff. Lovely sitting by the canal. Timothy Taylor’s Landlord bitter slipped down easily.

Lovely old pub, heaps of atmosphere, good selection of ales. Both a canal frontage and river frontage, plenty outside seating on a warm day. Staff were excellent! Good social distancing. Had a baguette and chips shared between two for lunch, plenty of food and great value. Chips were really good. A few minutes stroll from the centre of Hebden Bridge along the canal, well worth a visit

We called in here with our 2 dogs last week, after having a cruise on one of the canal boats. Good social distancing in place. Excellent food, could not fault it and very good value for money. Pub was very clean. On the whole Staff were very friendly, we only had one issue. We were sat prior to meal, canal side with our dogs waiting for our slot on the Hebden Bridge Cruises and we were sat on one of the benches. A Bar Man came out to place ash trays on the tables, looked at us, sighed and shook his head. Why? goodness only knows. If he had of asked I could have told him we had a table booked for later. The rest of the staff were lovely though so well done to them. I would recommend this establishment.

Super Sunday lunch along the river. Great value, friendly staff. Excellent service. Highly recommend this Pub.

Really good little pit stop as we were walking down the canal, sat on benches looking at the water, full range of drinks. Establishment inside was very spacious and clean, nice toilets too

Passing by on a nice hot day whilst walking along the canal so fancied a thirst queicher. Plenty of places to sit out side: roadside or canalside. Neither very peaceful as you have a choice of the noise of cars, trucks and buses or constant canal boat engines (our choice on the day).Nice beer and coffee with clean toilets. Food looked nice

Lovely atmosphere in upstairs dining area. Tables good distance apart respecting Covid risks. Great service and good pub food.

Fantastic staff, food, ambience, Covid adherence measures, atmosphere - just everything a pub should be and in particular in these straightened times. We had a two course meal each plus drinks - started off by the canal side - fabulous views and then inside to eat. A really lovely menu even though it is reduced and food cooked to perfection and plenty of it and hot. Just lovely. Thanks very much SW Team :)

3 of us came today for my daughters birthday, 3 wonderful meals, 3 empty plates all while feeling very safe. Great service also:)

Food was excellent, service cheerful and efficient. Safety measures regarding virus carefully observed, all customers allocated plenty space. A very welcoming,comfortable pub.

Let me start by saying that the food was excellent. However, the service was lacking. It is table service only, and We were promptly shown to a table upstairs, in the back corner. We were served our drinks and food in a timely fashion, but this is where the service went downhill. I appreciate that things are difficult in the current climate, but at no time were we approached to see if everything was ok, or more importantly, if there was anything else we needed. Like maybe a second round of drinks. After we finished eating, we waited another 10 minutes before someone came to clear the table and enquire if we wanted anything else. After waiting over 20 minutes with an empty glass, I just got the bill and left. Sad to say, I probably won't go back until things return to some semblance of normality.

We visited a couple of weeks ago in search of a proper roast dinner. Our table was book for tea time. We stood around waiting to be seated for about 5minutes. It was our first visit & I highly doubt we will be back. It’s safe to say we were disappointed. The gravy resembled chocolate sauce and tasted like it had been made from a cheap version of bisto. 2 small roast potatoes that appeared to have been deep fried & not at all crispy, 2 small slices of beef, a bought in Yorkshire pudding & a dish of basic veg. Disappointing. The veg soup starter was more like a grainy purée. My cappuccino was lacking in coffee. We didn’t hand around for dessert & we ended up ordering a take away later that evening.

We couldn’t get a table outside but we’d booked for inside. We both had rump steak which was excellent. There was loads of space and people just left you to it. Really enjoyed my first trip out.

4 adults and 1 child visited, we'd booked ahead. Good organisation around covid regulations. Lovely food, huge portions. My bf saw fish and chips going out to someone and said he could have ridden that fish home! Lovely sausages, awesome burger. Would definitely return

Very nice having a drink looking on to the canal, although the food wasn’t great, only 2 roast potatoes on my roast beef dinner and an aunt Bessie, and the pie was basically a stew with a lid of pastry.

Visited when in the area on a canal barge holiday after it being recommended to us. We didn't eat but just had drinks (although other people's food looked delicious!). Fantastic location right next to the canal, good selection of drinks, and friendly staff. What more could you ask for?

Had lunch here with a friend.I had lamb henry and the other two had fish and chips. Neither wanted mushy peas, but they were happy to substitute garden peas for one meal and salad for the other.My lamb was very good. and I think the other meals were enjoyed.Pleasant atmosphere, efficient service and good value.We will go again.

We were in Hebden Bridge to see the devastation the floods had caused again and as expected everywhere was closed so walking along the canal we decided to call in and have a snack. The menu was amazing and we ended up having a roast beef dinner. Well worth the visit and we will be calling in again to try different things.Unfortunately due to the floods no cask ales were available but there was a great bottle selection to compensate.

Staff managed to get 5 of us and a dog in at short notice.... lovely ambiance and welcome... the food was absolutely lush! Eat out quite a lot and I can honestly say this is the nicest meal I’ve had out in a long time... very traditional and cooked with care... all 5 meals were lovely... reasonably priced too.. despite living 40 drive away I would definitely make the effort to return here... only downside was bar was never occupied so had to go to a till other side of bar to get staff attention when you wanted a drink... even so, did not put us off one bit..

Three of us enjoyed dining out in this atmospheric canal side pub. The service was excellent and matched the quality of the food. The pre 7pm offers were good value

Called here with my partner for a couple of drinks to escape shopping and the cold (it’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it). We’ve been before in the autumn and managed to sit outside next to the canal. Not today though, it was far too cold, although a few hardy walkers were sat out. It was really busy but we found a coupe of spare seats and settled down for an enjoyable couple of hours. It’s a lovely pub and it was quite busy, but the bar service was still quick. It’s my favourite pub in Hebden Bridge and we’ll be back soon for another visit :-)

Always good quality hearty portions, friendly attentive staff. The pub itself is warm and cozy set by a canal.

The Stubbing is just brilliant because it is welcoming, warm and highly dependable. It is always there, it always serves food, the menu is extensive and reliably tasty. It isn’t Michelin but very acceptable and enjoyable pub food and a bit more. The location is great.

Can't Fault the Stubbing Wharf Lovely Ambience! Dog Friendly Super Food Reasonably priced Ate Here Lots Vast Menu and Specials Board What's Not to Like Staff Smashing Especially Catherine Who Went out of Her Way to Look after Us So Thank You Catherine! On Christmas Day it Was only open Till 2'oclock To Serve Drinks Only But They Still Put a Free Buffet on for All the Customers each Table had Party Poppers Christmas Hat's ExcetraThe Staff Obviously Enjoy Working There as They All Appear Happy and Eager to Please Top Marks Can't Wait to Return!

I was very disappointed with the food on my recent visit. The portion size of the garlic mushrooms starter was stark. The nacho main packed jalapeños - an essential ingredient surely ? My friends spaghetti marinara lacked taste and was bland. What has happened ? The food used to be great here a couple of years ago.

This was our 3rd time here & 2 years in a row for my mum’s birthday meal. A reservation is recommended for a weekend visit & as before the place was packed. The service is top drawer & the food is so delicious & fresh. The atmosphere is great & the open fire is a real treat on a cold winters afternoon. When you’ve finished you can go straight out of the back door & up some steps to the canal. Dogs are welcome too.

We went to the Stubbing Wharf for my wife's birthday and we were very impressed with the food and will certainly go again thanks to all the team that work there.

Called in for lunch after a walk. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Tasty pub food and lovely to see home made chips. Well priced and portion sizes reasonable. Only down side for us was that dogs are allowed in dining areas.

We often visit with our dog for a drink and sometimes late lunch. Never a problem finding a table even when busy. The staff and service is excellent. The food is very tasty with good choice of vegetarian meals and snacks. Most dishes are offered as a smaller portion( still a decent size)

Been a handful of times for various food which were ok. This time had the roast beef which was tough. Although not a big eater the portion size was also questionable. Other places local to here are far superior for your Sunday roast.

Serve a good selection of food in a relaxed atmosphere, with excellent and friendly staff. Would highly recommend a visit for lunch

Family birthday party. The meal was great but it was the location that got me. Right alongside and lower than a canal. Hebden Bridge is renowned for its parallel river, canal, road and railway. Very pleasant staff (and charming!). Highly recommended.

This was my first visit back to the Stubbing Wharf following earlier flooding to the area. The staff were friendly and helpful. A Tuesday lunch time still had visitors flocking in to the pub. Ordered Fish and Chips which were well presented and Yorkshire portions. This pub gets busy at the weekends as it is in an ideal location next to the canal.

Excellent quality meals, very well kept beer and guiness, Well priced. Nice clean pub and friendly pleasant staff a+++

Had a trip to Hebden Bridge and spotted this near the canal on Trip Advisor. Really busy but we got a seat upstairs but the meals took an hour. We had carrot and coriander soup and gammon. Both nice but we were past hunger by the time they came. Went for a drink outside and watched the boats, people and dogs go by - so relaxing. Would still recommend- it was very busy.

A group of four of us visited on Saturday and what an amazing meal. A great vegan selection for me, similar good choices for a vegetarian and perfectly cooked steak for my father in law. I had spicy chickpea salad followed by a curry, so fresh and tasty. My mother in law had a cheese pie that just looked amazing. To top that reasonably priced gin we could not fault it for a second and will definitely go back. Make sure you book though as we were in Hebden for the weekend and it was busy every time we went past.

Excellent food and drinlk. Very busy but good service.

My Mrs and called on a Tuesday night for dinner it was packed, the place was very friendly, inc locals. Food was delicious and the cost wasn’t too OTT. They welcomed out dog Harry into the sit anywhere which impressed us as dogs are normally relegated to difference areas, but no welcomed like visitors which was nice, they do burger and curry nights and early birds and lite bites which is very impressive, we shall be back

En liten spasertur langs kanalen og du kommer til denne puben som serverer det du forventer. Åpenbart et populært sted preget av liv og travelhet. Vi spiste ulike typer sandwich og alle var fornøyde og mette.

After a canal walk & some shopping in Hebden Bridge today, we were tipped off about Stubbing Wharf as a good gastro pub. It was a scenic - if showery - walk along the canal towpath, but a table was available for us straight away. Our waitress, Kate, took the food & drink order promptly but the pub was then faced with a challenge - a large group, post-funeral, arrived. They'd all pre-booked food but needed to buy drinks. This can put any kitchen off its stride and, understandably, our food orders were delayed. We had been enjoying the 'on offer' IPA beer in the meantime, while chatting with fellow customers. When my wife's chicken breast dish & my pork belly choice arrived, I was very impressed with both the generous portions and the quality of the ingredients. . Absolutely delicious & clearly freshly cooked. Kate offered very genuine and kind apologies for the delay, even though it did not spoil our meal or the whole experience in any way. This is a brilliant country pub with staff who genuinely care about the food they produce, and the people they serve. A jewel. Thanks again, Kate. We will certainly return on your next visit to Hebden. Highly recommended.

We were a party of five on a once a year meet up and this was our first visit and it certainly will not be our last.

Came here bank holiday monday 7 of us after reading the reviews we thought we would give it a go

This is a cracking place survived the floods and has come back well. Better now the fittings are a bit more weathered. The food looks good and the beer is good across the board. Perfect location. Just the staff are a bit young and inexperienced. It’s good they employ young people just there’s a certain naivety and lack of intimacy which perhaps discourages locals. A small thing in that the pub is not aimed at locals but just a fraction more emphasis on the punter would be good. Otherwise a really good pub still

we were at Hebden Bridge for a 4 night break in august and ate twice at Stubbing wharf. They had a great range of ales and it was fantastic to sit outside in the sunshine. The food was of a high quality and the steak was a particular highlight. would recommend and hope to return at some point.
