The Apothecary Guest House Cafe in Bradford

This place seems to divide opinion judging by the reviews but we thought it hit the spot nicely. Yes, the owner does invite you in if he spots you looking at the menu but we felt able to walk away, check a couple of other places and come back with no pressure. Sat out the back where there is lots of Bronte and Railway Children memorabilia on the walls. Even on a dreary day there were decent views over the valley towards Crossroads. In the summer the terrace would probably be lovely. We had homemade lentil and vegetable soup each, two sandwiches served with salad, pot of tea, bottle of water and a toasted tea cake for £25. For Haworth that’s not bad. Food was served quickly and was good, solid, no frills stuff - ideal for a grey autumn day.

The Owner is proactive in attracting customers, his keen eye spots the hesitation as you look around for somewhere to eat. His humour adds to the excellent food on offer, it is great quality and well priced. An added bonus is the restaurant being Dog Friendly.

Probably the worst place I have been in the last ten years! The food was mostly burnt and it tasted awful. No one asked if our meal was ok. I mentioned it was burnt when paying and was told I should have sent it back! It should never have left the kitchen! The person outside who may have been the manager was stopping people walking past trying to get them to come and eat. Two ladies said they were quite scared as he was confronting and bossy. This is a shame because Haworth is a lovely place to visit.

Wonderful Full English Breakfast. Great service. Recommended. Also has a guest house. Lovely location opposite the church at the top of the village.

We had a nice lunch at a very reasonable price. Dave greeted us and showed us to our table on the balcony, we were served promptly by a nice waiter. We would recommend The Apothecary.

Food was awful we had beef and veg in Yorkshire pud not worth the money food not freshly cooked all I think came out of packets and tins even custard on dessert was watery not sweet very disappointing won’t be going again

Got to be the most uncomfortable place that I have ever stayed. From the flippant greeting to the bed that kept myself and my partner awake all night. Asked for coffee with breakfast and got tea instead. When my partner informed that we had the wrong drink. She was scowled at. I would not recommend anyone to stay there unless they love a really poor experience.

Great location situated in the centre of Haworth. Both hosts were helpful and friendly and nothing was to much trouble. Room was clean and the bed comfortable. Excellent breakfast overall excellent value for money.

On arriving an older gentleman who worked there told us to go inside and find a table somewhere. As my husband and I were just walking in the owner it seemed burst over and said “ where do you think you’re going “ ? Taken aback I said “ I’m so sorry but your colleague told us to come in and find somewhere to sit “ He said “ I will show you “ !! We were then handed dirty cutlery in a sheet of paper no better than a piece of tissue / toilet roll. As pensioners, if we hadn’t been hungry, thirsty and in need of a sit down to rest we would normally have left. The food was tasteless and not offered anything like sauce or mayo etc to try enhance it. The poor staff looked so down beaten and losing the will to live or even try offer a smile. All the while the same owner stood with his arms folded watching all staff and customers as if making sure NO ONE put a foot out of line. Such a disappointing, hostile atmosphere to both work and eat in for such a good location. On leaving we were made to wait awkwardly to pay the bill while the same owner continued chatting away to someone else with his back to us. On such a nice day in lovely Haworth we didn’t want to get into any discussion / fearful argument about our experience and spoil our day out. All I can say is if you like being spoken down to, treated as if you don’t exist and are back in school waiting to be disciplined you will fit right in with the owner ! What a sad establishment spoiling such a nice place like Haworth !

I booked here for an overnight stay and got a lovely welcome. Dave was lovely and very helpful. The room was warm, clean and had everything I needed. It's in a perfect locatin for what I needed and the breakfast and service in the morning was super too. I'll definitely book again in the future.

I have been going here for over ten years on a regular basis. This is owned by two brothers and their mother. One gets a grat personal service, a wonderful breakfast, and a warm welcome.It's just along the road from the museum. The rooms are cheap, clean, and nicely furnished.

Sandwiches and hot drinks to take away. Friendly chap, "Dave" very sociable, conversed with us. Food and drink fine. First visit there, I would go again. 2 Butty's 2 hot drinks £11. It's also a small hotel.

Waited a long time for our food. Our beverages were stone cold by the time our order came. Problem here is too many tables with a tiny kitchen that can’t cope. One member of staff was very gung-ho in his manner and was irritating. What a pity.

The guy who invited us in as we walked past seemed quite jolly, but when I went in, with face mask on as required by law he was very sarcastic, pretending he couldn’t hear me and saying “we’re trying to be normal in here”; very poor. The tea and cake were, however, good. We returned later on for lunch. A boy told us upon entry that hot food had finished; fair enough. We sat down, the same guy as before came up and asked us what we wanted. When we said about no hot food he said “who said that?”, then went and checked something, came back and said (in a very rude way) tell me what you want quickly”; we just had tea, got out quick and won’t be returning. Rude service (from one guy only) and disdain for the Covid rules.

2nd time we have stayed at this quaint, beautiful place. The brothers who run it are do friendly. They can't do enough for you. It's obvious how good it is because most of the guests had stayed here before as well. Its location is perfect, being right in the middle of the bustling street, where there are plenty of pubs, restaurants and quaint little shops. The price is very reasonable. The rooms are spacious and clean. Plenty of towels. A hairdryer in the room as well! Breakfast was lovely, especially the bacon. Won't hesitate to stay here again.

The Apothecary Guest House is above the old apothecary run by Betty Hardacre who supplied Branwell Bronte his lethal doses of opium. The downstairs apothecary is now a soap shop selling soaps and soap salts in all sorts of mindboggling shapes and sizes. But that is a separate shop. The Guest House is run by a duo of brothers Nick and David, who was 64 when I was there, and couldn't believe it. Nick manages the overall running and David cooks and serves the meals. Breakfasts were sheer joy with David serving love and friendship with steaming hot eggs, toasts, beans, sausages and strong Assam tea. The Guest House is on Main Street up at the top in front of Haworth Church. So, if you want to spare your legs a steep walk up the hill with your bags, you should get off the bus from Keighley at the bus stop called Doctor's Chambers, which is the NHS clinic, at Heathcliffe Mews. Go across the car park and up the little lane onto Main Street. Turn left and walk to the church crossing, and the Guest House is on your left. There! The views of the Worth Valley from the dining room are spectacular. I was there during the September full moon, and I admired the moon all evening and night from my room window. In front of the Guest House is the old Hartley's Post Office and Shop, run by Margaret Hartley. Her great-grandfather established it in 1796, and it was here that the Brontes came to mail letters and collect letters and parcels. "Our Margaret" is a walking history lesson, and she will tell you all the old stories and gossips nuggets you don't find in books. What Margaret misses, David fills in! You can pick up second clothes in gorgeous styles and colours from The Souk, run by Diane. They are very reasonably priced, and you can land yourself a chic outfit for a song. The Souk is to the left of The Guest House, next to The Black Bull, Branwell's second home.

This is not the Ritz, but it offers the genuine service of being served by people who are interested to offer food while away from home. Everything was prompt and served warm and the general feeling is that of being at someone's home not a branded tea room or restaurant which is attached to a hotel.

We couldn't get anywhere near our favourite Cobbles and Clay cafe for queues, so decided to look elsewhere, and as we approached the top of the main street, a guy wearing an apron practically dragged us in, with promises of a seat and great food, so we decided to give it a go. The acid yellow walls, with black painted windows was a little alarming, but each to their own! We were taken to a table in the room at the back of the building, resembling a sort of conservatory add on, but with absolutely wonderful views. We ordered hot beef in a roll with gravy?! and bacon rolls (without being offered a choice of bread) tea, and a glass of water. A young waiter brought cutlery, plonking it into a pile on the sticky table, so not the most hygienic start. We were very hungry by the time the food arrived, so even the sight of a cheap white bread roll filled with beef, sitting in a pool of gravy, didn't put us off completely! My daughters were able to eat the top half of the roll, the bottom was a soggy brown mess, and the beef. The bread is advertised online as fresh daily, but it doesn't say where from, probably the cheapest from a local supermarket. The bacon was chewy, and again served in a horrid cheap white bread roll. The tea was ok, the glass with water marked, probably from a dirty dishwasher. To top it off, when paying at the till, the little elderly lady was trying to add up the bill in her head, at which point the whole experience reminded me of a scene straight out of 'the acorn cafe' with Victoria Wood and Julie Walters! Come on Apothacary Tearooms, you have a prime spot in this very popular tourist destination, with a fantastic opportunity to offer great food in a clean and potentially attractive environment, it's not that difficult, you just need to make an effort, or maybe you think people like us who can't get into the better places at busy times, will simply make do with the way below substandard crap on offer at yours!

We have been here a few times always a friendly welcome , so decided to stay over night this time . Room was cosy and warm , breakfast was yummy and plenty of it . Will be back .

It was coffee time and we were in Haworth, so we called in at The Apothecary, The menu was quite large but we just went for toasted t cakes with coffee and tea,The food and drinks arrived very quickly and the filter coffee was delicious.We were so pleased with the place we called back two hours later for lunch. As well as another coffee I chose a Yorkhire pudding filled with Beef and seasonal veg, My wife had a cheese and tomato sandwich. The food was gorgeous, we then followed with desserts, me a Bakewell tart and custard, my wife Scones with jam and cream. Everything was delightful, including the price! We shall return!

First visit to Haworth in over 35 years and we decided to sit out in the lovely Autumn sun watching the world go by after some gentle persuasion from the owner David. Situated at the top of 'Hovis Hill', we were served promptly despite there being seven of us and the Roast Beef and Gravy roll was fantastic with the beef just melting in your mouth. The banter with David was great especially when we told him where we were from and what we did for a living. If you want a no nonsense lunch in a pleasant location then look no further than The Apothecary.

Beautiful surroundings and super friendly staff , plus if you go into the toilet they have a pic of trip advisors favourite travelling fairy performer

The view's great. The food predictable, but fine. It's not difficult to make roast beef and the works in a giant Yorkshire pud. (I used to be a caterer so I know how much of it you can buy in.) But it was wholesome and filling, arrived pretty quickly, and the staff were friendly. The pot of tea was excellent. A good find in such a tourist-trap town!

One of my sons was visiting with his family we were looking for a more traditional lunch. This lace absolutely filled the bill. The view of the countryside is amazing and we all enjoyed ourselves

Stopped for Saturday lunch. Staff friendly and helpful. Food was very good. Deserts were good too. Cafe is not wheelchair accessible, it was necessary to step out of the wheelchair and walk in the return to chair. Toilets are downstairs.

Again after remaining un-served from Emma's Café next door, we attempted to visit this café, only to have some rude chap immediately tell us that the café was shut - at 14:45pm on a Saturday? All this incredibly rude treatment made me re-evaluate that I just wanted a drink. Thankfully the sweetshop across the way, was more than happy to accept our money.

Called in late afternoon before setting off home. Ordered cream tea which included 2 scones, butter, jam and cream. On the table next to us a couple complained about their coffee and that the scones were a bit stale. When ours came they had been warmed up making them soft and a bit 'claggy'. The portions of butter were small and given the scones were warm did not spread far. There was one small plastic carton of jam which might have been sufficient for one scone and a small dish of cream. Thankfully the tea was ok so was able to wash most of it down. With so many other places in the village to choose from ( been to a few in the past but like to try new places) don't think we will be returning.

I brought my husband to see Haworth even though I've been several times before. He loved the teashop's view, kind service, and large Yorkshire pudding lunch. Everything is fresh and delicious. Other places have fancier coverings on the chairs, but good, inexpensive food makes this tea room a special treat.

Had lunch here last week, got a window seat, what a fabulous view. Had homemade veg soup and a sandwich, at £6.80 it was good value, as the soup was a generous portion. Friendly pleasant staff, all in all a thoroughly enjoyable lunch.

Spent a night in the guest house located at the top of Main St . We had room 7. Very spacious, clean,a bit dated but great views. The brothers who run it made us very welcome and were very chatty even whilst cooking and serving breakfast which was very good and plenty of choice. The Bronte Museum was only 5 min walk away and the steam railway 15min walk down hill.

My friend and I had a girly weekend in Haworth, we had breakfast here every morning.

My wife and I stayed here for a short break, and we're delighted with the accommodation and fantastic location. The breakfast was also superb, possibly the best we've ever had in a B&B.; We look forward to going back soon.

We always stop off for a hot chocolate or tea and a scone at the Apothecary Guest House Cafe every time we visit Haworth. The owner always recognises us and offers a warm welcome. Food is always well presented and good value. Did not realise they offer BnB in guest rooms (despite name of tea room), so will try here next time we visit as seemed very good value.

We Have for many years always visited and had a meal in this café, but it will be the last time.

Called at Howarth ,for the 1st time in 25 + years , As we had our dog with us and the weather was unusually pleasant we took one of the outside tables. Right at the top of the hill we thought a pleasant place for lunch. After looking through menu and rejecting Sunday lunch and giant Yorkshire puddings we opted for something lighter. I had sausage egg chips and beans, my wife had beans on toast. Drinks were brought out 1st ,not a lot can go wrong with pot of tea and a diet pop!, it started to go downhill when the food arrived.

Only popped in for a coffee and a pot of tea but was impressed by the cheery room in sunshine yellow and the great views. Friendly, chatty staff all aiming to please! Might try a meal next time - the Bakewell Tart looked very tempting at 10.00am - but too soon after breakfast!!

Una vez que nos registramos en el hotel nos llevaron a nuestra habitación doble con baño en suite. Una gran habitación con vistas a la calle principal, un montón de espacio de almacenamiento y un armario grande con un montón de perchas. El baño de la suite tenía una ducha, lavabo y wc. Buena iluminación y una televisión decente si es necesario. El desayuno se sirve entre las 8. 30 y 9, buena selección de bebidas, cereales y desayuno cocinado. Preciosas vistas desde el comedor de los páramos. Aunque tuvimos una estancia cómoda y la habitación estaba limpia, en un punto de limpieza hay un par de problemas, pero no afectó nuestra estancia. Había un nuestros clientes jabón en la ducha, cuando limpiaban la habitación después de la primera noche la bolsa bin bin en el baño no fue sustituida. El colchón era un poco suave y mullida y probablemente podría reemplazar, ropa de cama estaba limpia pero un poco descolorido.

Una buena estancia de una noche en la botica, en una fantástica ubicación. El hotel está un poco anticuado y la cama no era la más cómoda en la que he dormido en la casa de huéspedes sin embargo estaba situado justo en la parte superior de la calle alta con vistas del cementerio en la parte delantera y el wild Yorkshire Moors en la parte trasera. La casa tenía un montón de fotos de Bronte por toda la casa que era interesante de ver. La casa anuncia un gimnasio y una sauna, sin embargo este no fue mostrado, así que supongo que estaba en la bodega. Los propietarios (especialmente David) era servicial e informativo.

Yo tenía una carne asada con verduras cena tradicional en un gran budín de Yorkshire. Fue una buena relación calidad-precio a 5 libras. 90 y por sólo £1 más que podría haber un postre. El servicio fue rápido y la taza de té para dos era enorme. No dudaría en volver a comer aquí de nuevo o para recomendar el té.

We had soup and bread roll. The soup was micro-waved and not what was offered. The chips were oven ready chips and we were charged £2.50 for a small bowl. A long wait for the food considering it was micro-waved! Poor value

Me alojé aquí con mi familia. La habitación estaba un poco deteriorada con ropa desteñida, básicas pero limpias. Con un poco de TLC podría ser encantador, ya que está situado en una zona preciosa. No enchufe cerca de espejo que era para el secador. arkward El desayuno estaba bien, pero de nuevo el comedor estaba un poco anticuado y viejas pero en una buena ubicación para los amantes de bronte como sacerdote está a dos minutos a pie.

Mi compañero y yo la limpest sandwich de tocino y huevos "Double Decker" aquí, más barato posible de pan rebanado blanco, 2 huevo y 1 lonchas. Es muy decepcionante y muy por debajo de las expectativas para casi 5 libras un sandwich. Después busqué, probablemente los más pobres café recogido en la ciudad para almorzar. Poner una verdadera decepción en un encantador viaje a quede.

Excellent service, food and value. Friendly, attentive, helpful staff. Gorgeous food. Well worth a visit

This is in a fabulous location, near to the old Parsonage and all the local attractions. The rooms were spotless. Breakfast was of a good standard. Excellent value for money. This is a good spot to see the surrounding countryside and other places of interest.

You will be welcomed to this family business with a smile and a good chat. There is a good café menu and nice puddings. Great views over the town if you like.

Had a great home cooked lunch here, service and welcome were excellent. Food very good homely and great quality.

Second stay at this friendly B & B. Comfy clean room and hearty breakfast. Really great value for money.

Excellent B&B! The rooms where lovely and spacious, big comfy bed, nice powerful shower and 3 large windows with lovely views across the village. Our room had cute little dressing area between the bedroom and bathroom too. The whole building had lots of character and everyone who worked there was so helpful and friendly! The owner was lovely and really chatty and the breakfast was delicious! I would definitely recommend

Personnel tres sympa. Plat typique anglais , frais , copieux et bon. Les gateaux sont excellents. Si il y a un peu de soleil, il est tres agreable de manger sur la terrasse qui donne sur la grande rue.

Keep to the traditional fare and you'll probably be okay. Found the service a little lacklustre.View from the back balcony was nice.

I had a lovely lunch on the sun terrace with my Mum. The staff were very attentive and we weren't disappointed with the food which was delicious.

Friendly staff, comfortable seating, nice views across the valley but the scone cream tea had very dry scones, quite stodgy

A great little restaurant with a vast menu and lots for the children to choose from, the position is good at the top of the village with a public car park with in easy walking distance, they also have rooms to rent but need to book in advance as popular

Stayed here in a group of 8 lovely hosts & breakfast was lovely but the rooms were very dated mattress very uncomfortable felt every spring.Would I stay not sure.

What a lovely little restaurant this is! A real little gem! The proprietor is genuinely friendly and absolutely loves dealing with his customers. Gorgeous views from the windows which all overlook the outstanding countryside scenery. The prices are fair and the meals were lovely. They have a great deal on lunch of roast and a dessert. Although we ate more simply, the meals that other patrons were served looked delicious and were very generous. We couldn't manage a dessert as our main meal filled us up so much. Cannot recommend enough.

Good food, friendly service and a lovely view across the valley. This place is situated close to the Bronte Parsonage Museum in Haworth. It is next to the apothecary store and is a little tucked away at the left-hand die of the store. We would not have noticed it if the owner had not been near the door and invited us in. We were glad he did. There was a friendly atmosphere and everyone seemed to be enjoying their meals.

The food in this place was average, I chose it because I liked the sound of the place, staff very friendly, but being a coffee addict which is what we had with a toasted teacake, I was disappointed as it was awful, I did tell the lady when I paid, so she knocked it off our bill.

The Apothecary Guest House and tea rooms is Fantastic venue, situated at the top of the main street in Haworth. Outside seating in the sunshine is a blessing on most days and if it rains....there is also a large conservatory area with ample seating with amazing views of the stunning countryside. I personally was treated with impeccable good manners from one of the proprietors David, and intend to always use this venue for Breakfast when in Haworth. I full recommend this venue. 5

Great atmosphere very friendly staff, Inexpensive lovely food, home from home.David one of the owners is a great host, clean, and lovely view from the restaurant. A place with lot's of character and charm. We stayed for a long weekend, like staying with family. Price was really good. Location great. Why stay anywhere else. We have stayed twice so far. If we were staying in this country we would go back every year!

This is a our 3rd stay at the apothecary, each stay has been excellent. Really clean and lovely rooms.with amazing views.the owners are really friendly and make you feel extremely welcome. Breakfast was absolutely delicious served in a lovely sunny dining room.all in all a wonderfully relaxing stay .will stay again.

Chose to eat here as Sunday lunch 2 courses was £6.20. Owner was really friendly, atmosphere good. Beef in a large Yorkshire with gravy and veg was promptly served....and tucked away ! Bakewell tart or apple pie was the choice of dessert.....yum ! The Guest House Cafe was able to offer a veggie derivative of the main course.Good value,good experience !

Go around the corner behind the post office to meet the friendly staff, have an inexpensive and delicious lunch, and see the view. An excellent value.

Visiting Haworth for the day and will definitely be back. Wondering through the village and came across the Apothecary Cafe. Lovely welcome from the proprietor. The food we had was good value for money.

One of the nicest tea shops in Haworth, (barely 3 doors from the worst!). The enthusiasm of the guy who must surely be the owner has to be admired, as he caters for all needs.

9 of us stayed at the Apothacary on 02/01/16 for a family engagement party held at the white lion. I have stayed here before and find the owners very friendly and welcoming, Dave has a great knowledge of football although his speciality is Q.P.R. i cant hold that against him being a pilgrim. The rooms are very comfortable with everything you need in them. The breakfast is lovely with nice views down the valley. The location is excellent being right on main street. I have only been on a weekend were you can park for free in the doctors car park behind. i honestly think that for the money you pay to stay at the Apothacary you couldn't get a better deal in or around Haworth.

Good food , good prices. Very welcoming going out of their way to make you welcome. If you are lucky enough to sit in the back of the cafe beautiful views of the amazing countryside. Do visit!

Dirty showers unclean rooms, although breakfast nice owner drunk on the two nights we stayed and swore at us

Stayed here for two nights with ten friends for one of their 50th birthdays, it was a nightmare from start to finish! We arrived to a note on the door stating no-one was available to let us in - we know Haworth well so went to a local bar to kill time, suitcases in tow. We were eventually allowed in and shown our rooms, this was after 4pm.That night the owner came in drunk and knocked two of my friends out of bed as he'd forgotten his key!!! He was very drunk but did apologise at breakfast. The second night he caused great disturbance in the corridor again waking four of my party and became very annoyed when told he was being unreasonable, to which he replied "put it on Trip Advisor"! At breakfast his brother had to apologise for him as he was nowhere to be seen. Rooms were dated, my shower was absolutely hopeless (room 3), and others stated their rooms were dirty. Food was lovely, however, being watched over eating your breakfast was unnerving! All in all a great weekend with a fabulous bunch of girls but I'd never stay in this establishment again.

stayed 3 nights. had free upgrade .staff very helpful rooms clean decor a little tired and the pub opposite quite noisey at weekend ask for a room away from main street

Like Derek H, we were also passing and the proprietor was so persuasive that the Roast was good value for 6.20 with pudding included! There were 3 of us, two ordered the Roast whilst I ordered a vegetarian dish. I made it clear that only two would like the main with pudding so that mine will only be 5 pounds.What a shock when the food came - on a Yorkkshire pudding were some veggies and 3 paper-thin slivers of roast beef with runny gravy! Not wanting to make a scene, we carried on without complaining thinking the pudding will make up for the atrocious misrepresentation. When we asked for the 2 pudding, only one came brought by the young girl helping out. She insisted that should only one pudding! She disappeared and the elderly lady (mother of the proprietor as was introduced to us) came and gave us a funny stare and disappeared. A few minutes later the second pudding arrived.When my niece went to the counter to pay, the elderly lady charged us extra for the second pudding which was included in the roast set menu and also charged for my meal as a set menu when in fact, I did not order neither did I get the pudding!! When she was queried, she got agitated, so my niece just paid and left.All in all, not a pleasant experience, so unacceptable that it left such a bad taste in one's mouth. What could have been a positive experience in Haworth has been tainted by this meal. I do hope that other service providers in Haworth do not practice this modus operandi.

We were passing and the proprietor said that gluten free food was provided, however the mature lady that served us said "they don't get much call for it" so my wife went hungry. We should have left then but I ordered scrambled egg on toast with sausages and whilst the scrambled egg was OK, the toast was white rather than brown and the sausages cheap, chewy and very small. Frankly not a good experience and annoying as when we walked down the hill a couple of doors away was another establishment offering gluten free on their board outside!

Not an obvious choice, as its tucked behind another building as you come down the steps of the church to the left of Rose and Co. Apothecary, but the owner spotted us and invited us in. Really friendly staff and lovely, reasonably priced food. Good for lunch or just coffee and cake.

Good service they were straight over as soon as we sat down and it was busy. Food and drinks came relatively quickly. Nice selection of sandwiches and soupas well as jackets. Their speciality is various fillings in a Yorkshire pudding. Nice cup of tea too. Great view out on the country side from the back room, well it would have been if we could have seen it for the rain.

Best Views In Haworth, Great Food, Brilliant Staff, Excellent Prices. Terrific value for money and the owner always has time to chat even when packed to the doors

We always have the huge yorkshire pudding with all the trimming and always find it appitizing, the only fault we could find that the plates could do with hotting up before the food is put on, we found halfway through the food became cold.

The cafe we normally use was closed so we ended up here!The food & drink quality was very poor quality and possibly warmed up or kept warm for too long. The fizzy drinks didn't taste like premium brands and there wasn't much fizz either!No food allergy information on the menu.Beware! Gluten free not well catered for here, owner not sure what's ok and what's not but will check each item... We found this process time consuming and embarrassing.We would never go here again :-(

We visited today & what a lovely place lovely food freshly cooked home from home place. Staff are so welcoming & friendly. My nephew said it was the best bacon roll he had so that definitely a reason to go !!

I will start with the very few good things about this cafe. Friendly swift service, clean and spacious toilets and beautiful hilltop views. That is all that is good. I would call this more of a transport cafe rather than a tea room. By today's standards, there was very little on offer on the menu except that which you would purchase from one of those vendors in a lay-by. I ordered a jacket potato which was over done (probably pre cooked and warmed up) and also not warm enough. Very little effort had been made in terms of the awful side salad which consisted of one small slice of tomato, one slice of cucumber and a small amount of the awful iceberg lettuce!The coffee was served in a tall mug which wasn't hot enough, and to cap it all, a large jug of ice cold milk was put on the table for four of us to use in the tea and coffee! We were not offered warm milk.I should have realised not to go in this cafe as the owner waits outside to draw people in. A good establishment should not have to hound people to go in.The whole place is dated and in need of a refurbishment. Some floral soft furnishings would be an improvement together with new menus which looked rather grubby. My friends had soup and a roll. They complained about the bread being very dry and to me it looked like bread fingers from a cheap supermarket packet.Needless to say, none of us will return to dine here. I recommend you go to the bottom of the hill where there is a nice looking coffee shop which looked very inviting.

Had lunch here today. Had soup and sandwich. The soup was very nice. The bread for the sandwiches was very dry. There was a mix up over my party's bill. The owner was very rude. Firstly they worked out the bill to be more than it should have been. I wanted to pay my share of the bill with my debit card. He worked mine out to more than it actually was, albeit only by 20p. He got quite irate and said "is 20p so important to you". We had left a tip and no 20p wasn't important to me, but his attitude was. He was outside his establishment touting for business. This place was at the top of the hill as we approached the village, and he obviously wanted to catch tourists before they got further down the hill where there were a lot of other eating places. Not a pleasant experience.

As always Haworth is a charming village , and at the top of Main Street ( cobbled street ) lies a hidden gem directly opposite the black bull pub and the bronte's church ! This is the apothecary guest house and tea rooms , it has a stunning view over the worth valley , it is a family run business for over 25 years and is a very friendly place indeed , the Sisley brothers David and Nick along with Margery there mum offer every hospitality and always greet there guests with a hot cup of Yorkshire tea , the guest house is clean and has all the amenities you would expect including TV and tea/coffee making facilities , large rooms with en suite facilities in each room bar one ( room 4 ) but this has a super are private bathroom . The breakfast is a traditional English breakfast with as much tea and toast you can eat and the breakfast can be tailored to what you want too .as for the tea rooms they serve all sorts of food through the day and it is all very reasonably priced , can't fault this establishment at all , if you want something then the sisleys oblige happily . Try the apothecary guest house and the tea rooms . We go at least twice a year and stay here each time , it's great value for money and it's as friendly a place as love seen

Such a varied menu so much choice Absolutely nothing to dislike. Lovely home cooking They catered for all tastes

Having Frequented ' The Apothecary Guest House' many times over the years ! theres one thing that you can always be sure of ! ..... A warm yorkshire welcome nothing is to much trouble ! The Sisleys are a dedicated family ... so if you are looking for a prime location, close to the pubs ! a great yorkshire breakfast ...fab views , parking, inhouse Cafe during the day & a cosy bed!! This is the spot!

Me and my husband enjoyed brilliant and friendly service at this café. We spent some time exploring the town in February 2015 and needed a winter warmer so called in for a soup and drink. We really enjoyed this and could tell the soup was homemade which is always a bonus. Would definitely recommend if in the area.

Call in for a bite to eat and and brew over Easter. The restaurant was clean and busy.Our order was taken and we waited for the Drinks. This is where it all went a little wrong, the drinks order arrived wrong and when questioned the lady doubted I had asked correctly, despite other members of the family quite clearly hear me order Coffee and hear her confirm it , we ended up with a cold drink. This was finally rectified and we awaited the food. again this came wrong, and I ended up with different food than ordered, only for the waitress to doubt my order again, this time a check of her pad confirmed my original request. It all seemed a little like a Victoria Wood sketch and to top it off the food that I ended up with was nothing to shout about with tasteless soup and dry cheese sandwich. Would I call Gain......No plenty of other over priced eateries up Main Street Haworth that can at least get the order correct.

Dave is not only hospitable, but a good cook who knows how to make you comfortable and full. Thanks for a yummy meal and catering to my sons extra dietary needs. We will certainly be back.

We sat outside the tea rooms in the easter sunshine, listening to the gentleman singing outside the Apothecary. Tea and scones and Yorkshire Parkin went down a treat, as a mid morning break. The tea rooms owner was really friendly and very hospitable. The food others were eating looked tasty and fresh.

This beautiful building caught my eye, as did its unusual name. Apparently, the Apothecary was frequented by Branwell Bronte in his day. If he were to pop by today, he would not be disappointed! The view I had from my window seat was wonderful, lots of greenery. I had a lovely cup of coffee and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The menu had lots of yummy food on it and if I had time, I would have stopped by in the afternoon for lunch!

Friendly owner , nice atmosphere ,great for coffee n cake. Set in great location we will be back.Thanks

Good place to sit and relax after visiting Bronte's house and walking along the town's nerrow streets. LKovely gentleman was inviting people inside to experience pharmacy as well. I bought small fragrance made out of violets , very local , very good. Soaps and other stuww was quite pricy. Coffee was served good, tasted great, service was good as well as price.

We walked out after a few minutes as we were put off by the garish bright yellow wall paper, the dated utilitarian metal chairs and plastic 70s style table cloths, sorry we didn't give you a chance as the staff seemed friendly enough.

Everything was right about the place good food (Cheese on toast excellent) good service (very enthusiastic trainee) and good views.

Loved the pretty and interesting things in the shop. Bought some soothing cream for a heat rash, did the trick, girls looked the part

friendly helpful staff , lovely views food served quickly really nice . we stayed at the wilsons hotel which was lovely.

This is a wonderful tearoom run by the Sisley family. The views to the rear of the café are spectacular. Good food, good service. A pleasant experience.

We have been to the Haworth Christmas Market, saw the cafe as we came out of the carpark and the Owner was greeting people in his Christmas Suit of the 20s, we said we would walk the market and call on our way back And I am glad we did, the other cafe's we so small and cramped, we had a pushchair and granddaughter with us, We were greeted with a Right Yorkshire Welcome, we asked if they minded us bring a pushchair in, He said of course not (unlike at lot of the others who said NO pushchairs), he saw us to a table asked if we needed a high chair which we didn't, Menu were given and asked would we like some hot to drink, Yes Hot tea's around, it was a cold windy November day, Tea arrived straight away and our orders taken, Menu of the day, LARGE yorkshire puddings with Roast Turkey, Stuffing Balls, Carrots, Potatoes and peas, lots and lots of gravy, a place was brought for the granddaughter so she could have some of ours, she was also given a little cup of cool tea for herself, once we had finished, the plates were taken and the pudding menu came, choice, Christmas pudding, Apple Pie, or Tart and custard, cream of ice cream, My Christmas pudding was lovely, lots of fruit and brandy in there.. All the time the staff were excellent, asking if there was anything else we needed, We were not rushed at all. Once people left, plates cleared away, NEW clean tablecloth put on the table... Lots of room to sit, Not squashed at all... Yes I would definitely be calling again. Thank you for your Right Yorkshire Welcome, We will certainly be telling our friends.

Good points - great location opposite the church with a lovely view of the main street. Breakfast room very bright and cheery with lovely countryside views and friendly service.Bad points - the room had a very strong chemical citrus smell when we first arrived which must be some sort of cleaning product, it was pretty overwhelming and unpleasant and the next day I had to go and buy some joss sticks to try and get rid of the smell. :-(Rooms and bedding were clean but the beds not particularly comfortable and I struggle with lower back pain so felt stiff in the mornings. Pillows were also a bit flat. Feel like I'm being a bit picky here but if you suffer from a bad back then a firm mattress and good pillows are pretty important for a good nights sleep!Breakfast was plentiful and filling but a little lacking in taste.Overall for the money this is a very good little B & B and I would definitely stay here again.

my friend and i were remembered from previous visit. made welcome. four night stay was great. rooms very good. breakfast very filling. we made good use of the gym and sauna. we found the owners very willing and helpful. we have already booked for next year and would recommend to others to visit

We cant comment on the interior as we had booked for 2 nights through Late Rooms and received confirmation, but when we turned up after a 5 hour drive from the Highlands of Scotland, he informed us that we couldnt stay because Late Rooms had messed up.....He found us 1 night accommodation elsewhere but it was highly unsatisfactory and was only for 1 night when we had wanted to stay in Haworth for 2. He claimed he had tried to call us but the number wasnt correct, but even if the number was correct we had no signal where we had been staying. His attitude via email since has been extremely uncommunicative leaving us to contact Late rooms to try and sort out what happened. He claimed this had happened several times so to any one booking this guest house I can only stress that you MUST call him immediately to confirm he hasnt double booked again. Late rooms inform us 'We are doing our best to make sure that any human errors are eliminated from the booking process by instructing hoteliers on how to manage their availability effectively.' Our visit to Haworth was completely spoilt by this. My marking of the restaurant is not accurate as I couldnt submit this with out giving a rating...I have no idea how good or bad it was.

I decided to take a little trip to Haworth, stayed at the guest house for 2 nights. The service was brilliant to say one gentleman had to manage it on his own. The room was clean, lots of space and very quiet which is what I was wanting. Breakfast was lovely, very tasty, large portions and wide variety of choice. Thank you for a lovely experience. Definitely recommend.

Considering the place was busy, as it was lunchtime over the Bank Holiday weekend, we soon found a table for our family outside. There were still plates etc from a previous group, but they were quickly cleared.Ordered our lunch, which came fairly quickly.What was good to see, was the friendly approach by the waiter, particularly to my grandchildren.
