The Maypole Inn in Calderdale

You definitely get what you pay for here. Super portions and great quality food. Service is 5 star. Thanks

Food was awesome ...just a large gap between main and desert

Booked a table for 6. We all really enjoyed our food, would have given 5* but just let down by service. Silly little things like ordering drinks, then waiting ages, and have to ask again as order forgotten. When food delivered to our table, we were asked if we required sauces etc, again we had to go and request again as they had forgotten. Would definitely return, just needs a little more attention to detail.

Absolutely amazing food, amazing service! We came for a surprise 40th birthday, the staff were so attentive they helped set up all the balloons and decorations. Chris and all the staff were so friendly and accommodating they couldn’t do enough for us, would highly recommend the Maypole. Food was delicious and such amazing value for money! Thank you so much for everything!

Visited this lovely pub for my niece's 18th. There were 15 of us altogether. The service was fantastic, the food was delicious and the whole atmosphere was just great! We ordered in advance so there was no messing about with menus on the evening. One of our party was late arriving so we didn't want to sit down until they had arrived but the staff were very relaxed about it and were happy to wait. I ate Gunpowder Chicken to start - delicious and lots of it! I had Seabass with wild mushroom ravioli in a creamy chardonnay sauce with samphire - the flavours in this dish were just delightful. I should have stopped there but my favourite dessert was on the menu and as the rest of the meal was so yummy I had to try the Sticky Toffee Pudding with ice cream and butterscotch sauce - it certainly did not disappoint and I pretty much had to roll to the car as I was so full of food at the end of the evening 😆 I would highly recommend to anyone thinking about visiting.

Always good food here but gets very busy.

Really nice meal at dinner time. Ample portions and all the meals were excellent. No complaints only compliments from all 6 of us having the meal. I've been before and will be back again.

Wonderful food and very friendly service. We had a lovely lunch here, and I would highly recommend it

Steady away, good service and food. Not a bad fixed menu, worth a go. Revised after last visit, food was great but being sat upstairs was not the warmest of places.

Turned away for 2 paying customers. I’m guessing there was a private function on but the pub was completely empty and was told ‘to go somewhere else’. I never do these reviews but can’t believe the response we got when we’d been there literally about 20 seconds. Absolutely no warning it was busy for walk ins for a quick pint and maybe some food.

Fantastic pub, we were there for Rushbearing but would love to go back sometime and enjoy the fireplace. Lovely beer garden round the back as well

Come to dine here often. Themed nights are well priced. My favourite is Tusedays pie night, which includes a selected pint of beer. There are some great desserts if you are still hungry.

I've popped in here a couple of times before for drinks outside, but after today up definitely be back to try more of the delicious menu! We ordered from the early bird menu and I can't express how good the food is for the money. The chicken parm alone is one of the best I've ever eaten, it was so fresh and tasty! The staff were super friendly and attentive, and the vibe is warm.

£17 each for fish & chips and scampi. Pint of dark fruits £5.40, Pint of Coors £5.00. The food wasn't anything fancy either. The lady's toilets smelt, cobwebs in the restaurant. I won't be going again.

We visited yesterday evening for the first time after recommendations from friends. We received a warm and friendly welcome, the food was good sized portion and value for money We'll visit again, thank you for having us

Excellent food as always, we booked in advance, but we did see walk-ins getting seated as well. Service was efficient without being intrusive. Very good evening was had.

Very nice staff and excellent food. Would highly recommend.

Service was good, but the food wasn't good ordered the fish pie, and chips, did disappointed.

Met up with friends at the Maypole as it’s half way for us both, we’ve never been before but what an amazing pub / restaurant. Taken to our table straight away, staff very attentive and friendly. Food was delicious, option of good old Sunday dinner to fish pie, burgers, pasta. Good selection of real ale and quality wine. We had a wonderful evening thank you.

Great food, easy to park, helpful staff. Best to book as it gets busy.

Ended here on our walk stopped for a nice refreshing drink and lunch the food was beautiful staff was really Friendly nice atmosphere in the beer garden with the football on.

Fantastic food and service, would strongly recommend

Top place,great food,service is tops,been here loads of times ,under different management (this one the best)and very consistent highly regarded localy ,which is a great advert !!

Multiple experiences of stressed staff come across as rude and unfriendly. Do not expect a warm welcome if a lone woman out on a country walk.

Very nice a bit on the expensive side but lovely food 😋

A quiet Tuesday evening meal. Food was very good. Had to chase up some drinks orders was the only weakness.

Friendly and efficient service at this pretty, popular restaurant. Table for two felt a little cramped as it was in a corner and blocked off from the main body of the pub. The coffee machine was not working on our visit. The menu varies and the chicken dish on the website was not on the menu that day. However the food was well cooked and well presented. Well worth a visit.

An excellent gastro pub, I invited relatives here. The portions are huge, the paté and the stick toffee pudding were the highlights for me. Great hospitality as you would expect in the north of England.

Experience was great and scampi was delicious. Out of all locations I’ve been to that offer scampi, this one served the most at 15 pieces. We did have some issues with my Grandma receiving peppers with her salad and me receiving lemon with my drink but this was not on them, we didn’t make them aware. All issues were resolved in a timely manner and without hesitation from the staff. Will visit again.

Just been and eaten in this fantastic building. The staff were great and the food was amazing. The location is great too.

We have been to the Maypole several times with the family for a drink and always really enjoyed it. Today we decided to stay for some lunch. Two of us are coeliac so we asked for the gluten free options. My daughter picked gf pizza and chips and I went for the Sunday lunch. My meal was nice, as were the other two meals purchased. Unfortunately my daughter’s gf pizza was a pizza sauce and cheese on two untoasted slices of gf bread. It was soggy and fell apart when she tried to pick it up. Both children commented on it after it arrived as it was obviously a bit of a mess. My husband brought this up with a staff member who apologised and went to get someone else. We offered to pay for the chips and beans that my daughter ate but didn’t want to pay for the inedible pizza. Unfortunately the second staff member was less sympathetic and came across as quite rude. He was very defensive about the bread and reasons why they were using it as the gf option and how it couldn’t have been in any way toasted to try prevent the sogginess. I suggested that there were a lot more alternatives to sliced bread for a pizza base. He did take the meal off the bill for us which is all we wanted to happen. There was no intention from us to create a big fuss about it but unfortunately the member of staff really didn’t deal with it well. We would absolutely have returned, as we are always willing to give places a second try if any issues are handled well but not on this occasion. There really isn’t an excuse for poor customer service.

Lovely pub, with great food and service today at lunchtime. Thank you

Five of us ate and drank for £110. Great food, great beer and great value for money on the early bird special menu.

Visited here twice now... Great outdoor area and lovely inside. Great service by the very friendly owner and staff, food is delicious and reasonably priced for the quality. Definitely will be a regular for us. Highly recommend visiting this pub to anyone in the area, not to be missed 👌

This pub is a hidden gem and we love this place all the staff are just fantastic and the owner Chris is simply the best host you could wish to meet he is really family oriented and every visit is just special. One of the best eating drinking places in yorkshire its 10/10 the food is so good. Well done guys all the best from big Mike and family xxx

Really nice meal, nice pub, happy that we dropped in and they fitted us in for food at a busy time. Will be going back.

The food here is probably the best and cosistently the best for a country Inn anywhere in the UK I have visited. The service and atmosphere are top class and the Maypole was our first go-to eatery when my mother was alive. She loved the food too. Chris and co have created an amazing place. The menu is very varied, there's always something new to try.

Best meal I've had in a long time. Staff friendly, service excellent. Three different meals served to our table, all excellent.

Always excellent, so much so I travel there from Blackley 24 miles one way, I can't recommend this pub enough, excellent food and service, the staff are lovely.

It is some time since our last visit. We were warmly welcomed and given a table round the back in a rather cramped area. The food was excellent. The best fish pie I have ever had. Thank you

Been several times and yes it never disappoints. Big portions, friendly banter from owner and staff efficient. Its hidden away in Warley, but still people find it. So downside...always very busy.

Had cheese croquettes and mackerel salad to start which were good. The mixed grill my husband had, the lamb chops were inedible as so tough. I had the sea bass which was nice.

Food was exceptional, l had a hot beef baguette, chips and gravy. I didn't like the fact they didn't have a disabled toilet.

Amazing food this evening at The Maypole. The service was great too. Highly recommend the belly pork and cheese cake. Kids ate up and loved the fish and chips, perfect sized portion.

Lovely gastropub in cute village setting. I am a vegetarian and the vegan burger was to die for. Lovely atmosphere and gorgeous staff!

Loved the maypole great food friendly service would highly recommend it to anyone

Lovely pub with open fire in the bar main area. However, as we had not made a booking we were seated in a small room that was offset with an unlit stove. Our meals were a very nice grilled salmon and a lamb Henry.

Lovely tasting pub grub and nice friendly atmosphere. I had the gammon with pineapple, egg chips and onion rings which were all lovely cooked. Recommend. The steaks also looked very good which is what I would have next time I go.

45 minutes before our meal arrived , then asked for dessert menu 20 minutes later it hadn’t arrived so we left Good was nice but without the level of service such a shame Usually leave a substantial tip for hard working staff but on this occasion first time ever £0

Beautiful country pub with excellent food great service,and atmosphere. Definitely got to try this place

The food was really nice,cosy eating atmosphere reasonably priced service was great lovely nice people

Really nice place warm and welcoming the staff were nice polite the food was lovely I had gamon steak egg chips I couldn't fault it

Lovely food, attentive friendly staff and nice cosy atmosphere.

Lovely Christmas meal , only downside was the table was only booked for 2 hrs , so couldn't sit and relax with a drink.after the meal ,

Lovely Goats cheese salad today. V busy pub, but served with reasonable speed. Friendly staff, beer and steak n' ale pie reported as good!

Having witnessed how the manager spoke to a customer who had complained about her meal, I was most disgusted with his whole attitude and lack of respect towards the customer. I will not be frequenting the Maypole anytime soon. Most upsetting experience.

Great food and atmosphere! Came here for my grandma's birthday and prices are good!

Lovely meal and friendly staff. Recommended!

Did a lovely buffet for dad's funeral wake. Highly recommend

We had a lovely meal last Friday after work. The pub had a two-course fish special on for £21. I had the fried whitebait with garlic mayonnaise and the surf and turf (sirloin steak and prawns) for a £6 supplement. The steak was absolutely delicious and tender. My wife had the fish pie, which was enormous and delicious.

Prebooked table for meal with family. Easy to find and decent sized carpark. Drinks reasonably priced (soft drinks) and lovely interior. As we were a biggish group we pre ordered our meals from the 2 course £21 menu and everything came out at a nice pace. Portion sizes are quite big so very filling and everything is homecooked. I had the burger & sticky toffee pud which were delicious (though the chicken tikka looked really nice) and the whole group enjoyed their meals. The staff were all lovely and chatted to everyone giving that family feel. Highly recommend.

Another superb meal as a special treat. We know the meals here are always outstanding.

Fabulous service, friendly welcoming and the food was top notch, great portion sizes and value for money "Definitely coming again with my girl's. ☺️

10/10 great service and atmosphere. The 5 spice&butternut squash soup was unbelievable. Hope they add it to the main menu. Definitely will return.

Gorgeous setting and outstanding food and service

Lovely place and really nice staff. Food was delicious

The food was excellent and really tasty . The staff are very friendly , it was my daughter’s birthday so she got a free shot with the landlord ! Lovely gesture . Would highly recommend. Thank you .

Nice clean place friendly atmosphere and good food. Chorizo and black pudding starter was lovely in particular. Dog friendly and big garden good parking. We had a lovely impromptu lunch thankyou

Great place, need to sort out their veggie menu though, Veggie Nit roast or something good. Serving a Sunday roast without meat & charging same is a bit odd. It’s not hard to get quality Veggie stuff on the menu. Otherwise a good time was had by all.

Good food, good beer in pleasant surroundings.

Don’t go here. Travelled from Leeds as we had the place recommended and we were visiting a friend. Asked the barmaid if there were tables available for food. She told us that downstairs was full but thought she might be able to get us in upstairs. So asked what looked like the manager, a tallish man with a shaved head. He grunted something like a ‘yeah’ insinuating that she was stupid for asking. Then, walked off shaking his head, like we had broken the law asking if we could eat at the pub. Even the other customers noticed. We walked out, humiliated. Shocking behaviour. The gentlemen wants a lesson how to treat his customers & staff and it would do him good to realise you don’t take your day out on people.

Lovely food great staff. Definitely go again 👍

Lovely pub! Good food! Good service! The Maypole is a lovely little pub tucked away in Warley Town. There is a very cosy atmosphere in the main pub area and the larger dining area is good and open with original features scattered throughout. The food is generally good basic food, with a good range on the menu and made well. I only gave it a 4 when comparing to other similar pubs in the Halifax area. But there is certainly nothing wrong with the food, and is good value for money. The roast dinner was good, with plenty of meat served on the plate! Decent Yorkshire pudding too! Definitely recommend for eating out with families of all ages!

Went for some dinner at the weekend. The food was absolutely lovely. Our first visit will definately go again

Really disappointed with this place. Took my daughter and family out for her 30th today, 2 of the group ordered burgers that were over cooked then at the end of the meal we were given desert menus, after 15-20 minutes we saw a member of staff and called them over as no one had come back to take our order then as we tried to order we were told the cheese cakes had sold out which 2 of the party wanted to order. To add insult to injury the member of staff said when we were the given the dessert menu they still had 4 cheesecakes left which means if somebody had come back to the table we could have ordered the deserts we wanted, due to 2 people not being able to order the dessert they wanted everyone decided against dessert and to top it all off they tried overcharging us for things we hadn't ordered totalling more than £20 which I would have paid if my son in law had not checked the bill for me.

Lovely new discovery for us only a few minutes from home. Hot sandwiches during lunch and larger options for bigger appetites. Lovely food well prepared and served by very cheerful and helpful staff. Recommended to book mind

Love coming here to eat we travel for an hour great gluten free options staff lovely will be back again soon

Best pub meal I've had in a long time. Family also loved it. Reasonably priced plenty of it and extremely well prepared. Will definitely return and would recommend to anyone.

Great food brilliant service would highly recommend

Never fails, food and drink spot on been loads of times over the years and it never fails to deliver.

Absolutely love this lovely pub,been going 12 plus years and it never disappoints.The food excellent,choice excellent,staff lovely,setting beautiful.would highly recommend,we're like family,we are always made welcome by the cheery staff and managment,its always warm n cosy in winter and lovely to sit out on their patio or in the garden under the tree's.if i cud give them 10* i wud.

Had the two courses for £20 lunch and wasn't disappointed. Huge portions and very well done. Service was good and pleasant atmosphere. Will definitely be back.

Called for lunch with Friends. Excellent menu choice including roast dinners. Staff were friendly and helpful and polite. Lovely atmosphere and location. Well worth a visit Folks. Good choice of alcoholic drinks and coffees.

A great place to come for just a drink, to eat or both. Great hospitality!!

Lovely food and great waitress service

Went on a Wed evening 6 30 steak night had a beautiful fillet stake prompt service and very friendly

Fantastic food . Great service from 2 funny (ha ha) chaps . Recommended

Lovely inside and really helpful staff. Absolutely amazing food, starters were out of this world

Very over priced for what you got

Gorgeous fish butty , homemade chips and mushy peas for less than a tenner 😀

Went for lunch on New Year's day. It was extremely quiet and no atmosphere. Roast dinner was good and large portion. Service was slow and rather off hand. I eat here two or three times a year and was rather disappointed on this occasion.

Loved the Maypole, staff are friendly and helpful, a good choice of beers and a good menu all in a lovely relaxed atmosphere.

Just been & the food was delicious… chris the owner can’t do enough for ye.. highly recommend

Went on a Saturday night. Quite busy but a warm, friendly atmosphere. Excellent friendly service from all the staff. Nothing too much trouble. All the food we had was excellent. Well presented, plenty of it and good quality. I had pigs in blankets to start and z turkey roast for main with crumble and custard for dessert. Excellent. 10/10. Will be going again in the New Year.

Nice place with lovely food. Had a lovely work Christmas gathering 😊 It was the second year we've been

Nice place and decor very relaxed and nice owner and staff

Bit disappointed tbf went for a group pre-ordered meal. Looked like if we'd have eaten at lunchtime it would have been delicious, but at 7:30pm it appeared to have been pre-plated & 'kept warm', each slice of roast beef had rock hard ends, the 2 roast potatoes were definitely warmed up, luke warm mash/gravy ,cold veg & a Yorkshire Pudding as crisp as a biscuit. A chicken burger wasn't so much a burger, but rather- pieces of chicken chunks that looked like they belonged on the flatbread meal, this made it quite difficult to eat. It looked like it would have been really good value for money at £19 for two courses, if it was fresh & hot. The pudding was nice though. The staff were very friendly. - & I appreciate it was very busy, but our orders were given long in advance. I'll give it another go at a different time of day because I hope it was just one off bad luck.

Having not booked, my friend and Iwalked in to ask for a table for two, man approached us and quite rudely said, can’t put you in till at least 7pm,then just walked away How to approach should be,so sorry we are totally full,but if you would like to stay for a drink,a table would be available at 7pm. Manners cost nothing,no matter how busy,

Lots of choice and fantastic food reasonably priced

Lovely place, never been before, met with friends and thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Will visit again.
