Should be an option for zero stars. Horrible pub. Very aggressive and dangerous customers looking for trouble. Please be careful if you are ever in or better still. Don't go.

Didn't particularly like the place. Went in at 6.30pm on a Saturday evening, when an old DJay, started playing music which didn't represent the age group of the clientele in there. We drank up and went somewhere else.

This place could be so good, spoons round the corner closing the owners should jump right onto this! Toilets need attention, seating is torn and ripped, service leaves a lot to be desired, often one person on the bar or in this case nobody now the girl has cashed up at 17.00 on a Sunday and no drinks can be served until the next person comes on….. Owners pay attention, not a bad bar , but of spit, polish, attention to service could be a gold mine!! Loads of crap at top of stairs also, just a bit of attention to detail when spoons closes you could be cashing in, just need more staff!

The bouncers on the door and smashed window was a bit unsettling, and my feet stuck to the wooden floor as I walked towards the bar. The whole place seems stuck in the late 90s with outdated decor and strangely the lingering smell of stale smoke in the air. I'm not sure why it's called The Hockney as the only thing that I can see referencing David Hockney is the sign outside. And I presume if ask the regulars about Hockney they'd probably tell you it was a medical condition to do with the kneecap. Regardless of this, drinks are cheap - but don't expect much past the usual swill water largers - and I didn't get glassed, so it has that going for it I suppose.

I've popped in here once or twice whilst waiting for my gf at the gym. Nice, pleasant and not noisy. Not been down on busy nights as that's not my thing but if you fancy a few pints without the hustle and bustle whilst reading a paper or just twidling on your mobile then its much more relaxed than the Wetherspoons further down. Very reasonable prices too!

Only just got to know this hidden in plain sight pub, being taken up by the local wetherspoons. However, this is a gem. Sunday dinner two for ten, plenty of meat four or five veggies, etc, and plenty of gravy. They do a lovely cloudy cider, which is my main reason!!! However, chicken tikka massala is great, hot dog cheapest with a free drink.. lovely, cheesy garlic bread a nice snack. They do do breakfast too!! Plenty of space child friendly until early evening, pool table for all to play, plenty of big tv screens, different seating areas, disabled access and ground floor toilet.

Hadn't been in Hockney for a while then went in with a couple of friends for a meal, there was only one person behind the bar so took ages to get served. We ordered food which took even longer to arrive. I am a lover of real ale, unfortunately the beer tasted so bad, not sure if the pumps hadn't been cleaned or the ale wasn't looked after properly I ended up having a pint of cider. We did feel sorry for the poor lad behind the bar who was left to do everything from serve drinks, food as well as clear tables

Called in for a few drinks after going bowling. If u like a bit of a dance they have a dj on from 10.30pm til 1 (just on a Saturday night for now) so that was good for the 4 mates I was with and the dj was happy to play requests. We had a great time and though not many dancing we had a fun time. Not eaten here since it reopened so can't comment on.

Called in on a Tuesday lunchtime, the place was quiet, we were served, by a very polite young man, and nothing was too much trouble. The food, when it eventually came was adequate, but not fantastic. It was hot, plentiful, but lacked imagination. The salad was limp and lifeless, Ok it was only a dressing to fill the plate, but it had seen better days. The burger was good, and tasty, my wifes chicken was insipid, and my mother in laws lasagne was tasty enough. I do think, waiting nearly half an hour for food, when the place was quiet, is a little too long. The place is clean, and comfortable, but on the whole, it would not be my first choice of eating place.

Once you took the hairs off the chicken the food was really rather good. However owing to the very poor customer service we won't be going back. Tips for the manager- it's useful to have staff behind the bar rather than outside smoking, customer service can be hugely improved just by a smile, provide cutlery for the customers as they generally won't want to use their fingers.... Even in Shipley and finally put a stop to patrons smoking inside, albeit with the door open its still illegal.

The Hockney was until recently a food pub I have tended to avoid, but now under new management they are serving home-cooked food and the place seems much less dowdy. A good range of dishes on the menu, augmented by specials..Claire and I both had home-made chicken, ham and leek pie, which came with real skin-on chips (or mash, or baked potato) peas and gravy. Generous portion, delicious, and economical... 2 meals for £10 weekdays, plus a pint of local Saltaire brewery's excellent 'Amarillo' for £2.50 and a soft drink, our overall bill was under £14, and the quality of the food made the nearby Wetherspoons look to be serving expensive rubbish. Well. Oh, and the meats used by the chef are locally sourced (from Kearns the butcher across the market square). The staff we met were friendly and helpful; all in all a very positive experience.

Lovely little cafe. They made good hot drink and the staff were so friendly. We sat out, and it was really peaceful, we sat outside the cafe while the sun was out. It's really worth checking it out. We did not get anything to eat but it did look really nice. Think we will grab a bite to eat on our next visit.

We went for a Sunday dinner, when ordering asked if they has full availability as it was after 6pm , reply was yes. We ordered, mine a Veggie roast..waited about 25 minutes for the food and mine didn't arrive, then when a meal was presented it wasn't what I ordered. I was told there was none left so this was sent instead, it was macaroni cheese!.. I refused it and then a guy who may have been a manager came over, no apology just said they miscounted in the kitchen so I could have something else. My family all has their meals so when he said just have the veg option I said yes for speed. After being offered a meat roast !..It seemed they thought that was OK. Very rude and weird you would do that, didn't feel like a customer just a £ sign ...really disappointed

There is one girl that works there that's absolutely brilliant, made me a lovely drink, was incredibly pleasant, she's the bomb. If it was just her - 5 stars. Next day though there were a couple of guys there, I asked for the same drink but it was quite bad honestly, they weren't as good at providing service nor at the drink making, mind you this is evening shift, two of them and they couldn't do half of what she did by herself (two people job, because she took the order manned the till and made the drinks), and even though they remade it it was still not even close, and they only had to make one, whereas she nailed two when I was there the day before. Anyway I didn't return it a second time but for 5+ quid I was expecting a lot more, honestly, and it was disappointing that they're not up to the same standard.

As far as 3 star hotels go, this place was brilliant - I initially booked the hotel thinking it was a 4 star hotel, given the building style and images of the rooms and hallways (high quality) only to realise it was a 3 star afterwards. The car park had to be paid for and wasn’t secure enough in my opinion - but aside from that, everything else was on point. Breakfast was cooked to a good standard. Staff were helpful and friendly. If you’re staying overnight, this place should do the job.
