The Percy Shaw in Calderdale

Met in here for ore drinks before my works Xmas party was really good atmosphere and busy but still quick service. Great place to be and nice inside also

Nice to go into a warm place with warm atmosphere on a wintery day, great prices to.

Nice little pub, great view and great value for money!

Shocking breakfast had to send it back . Burnt bacon slimy egg and ashbrowns were cooked hours before I think . Will not be putting myself through that again

Unfortunately over an hour's wait for food totally unacceptable... otherwise a lovely place to sit and chill out and nice view if you can get near the window.

More choice when it was a spoons.

Had a lovely traditional breakfast and refills of coffee here this morning, Not over priced either I will definitely be coming back again.

Came here today for some lunch while our baby was sleeping. We picked up a menu from the front and went to sit down, spent 10 minutes or so looking at the menu and went to order. When my husband got to the front of the queue he was told that they were so busy that they weren’t taking any food orders. While we were sat looking at the menu, several members of staff walked past us, and not one of them bothered to tell us before we wasted our time, that they weren’t taking orders. And It wasn’t even busy, we got a table no problem and passed several empty tables as we walked in. Load of rubbish

The Sir Percy Shaw as it should have been named

One of the cleanest looking Wetherspoons I've been in! Bar mam who served us was really friendly and quick. Didn't have food so can't comment but what we saw being bought out looked good. Just a nice, bright and clean looking bar. 👏

Great pub was weatherspoons but has been bought out simular prices and decent pub food.

Has a feel good factor to it. Called in for breakfast after nhs appointment. Table was dirty. Had that cleaned. Ordering from the menu was easy but the breakfast, Oh dear. Toast was warm bread. Eggs and sausage were nowhere near cooked. Could probably have made one decent slice of bacon out of the four. On the up side, the choice of flavoured lattès was a bonus. Got a refund and left.

Don't normally like precinct pubs but good views and service

Lovely place and atmosphere. Decoration is lovely. However the food was a big let down. Really greasy onion rings and fish battered chicken in the burger. Chips were okay but overall the food was a bit bland. Would not get food again however drinks possibly.

We headed for breakfast to what we believed to be a Wetherspoons. However, this place is no longer a spoons. We ordered breakfast which in fairness was tasty. Unfortunately, the big let down for us was the time it took to serve it, about an hour went by which to us was far too long a wait, had we have known the wait time we would’ve gone elsewhere. Also, one of the breakfasts came minus the mushrooms, beans, and an egg, so this took still longer to sort. We weren’t impressed, and therefore we won’t return.

Great place for a sociable drink & bite to eat. 😀

Cheap and cheerful, food was nice and very reasonably priced

Tried to get a pint at 10:15. Told us they were shut. Pathetic. Would love to give no stars but unfortunately not allowed

Zero atmosphere, and more expensive than the Spoonz it has replaced!

Haven't been since new owners, went for breakfast and it was lovely, food was fresh and tasty, it was very clean and hospitality was spot on .

Called in for a few drinks and some dinner with family members. Oh wow. We had the chicken pizza and it was better than pizza hut by far.. the pies are to die for and the drinks are very reasonably priced. They also do a quiz every other Monday too. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Halifaxs place to be!

Once a Wetherspoon's, this pub has reopened and has kept the interior the same and offers a similar menu. It's an unusual shape, but very light inside and has a 60 foot long window which offers marvellous views of one end of the town and some of the local countryside. I ordered a cheese jacket potato with salad, plus a mug of unlimited coffee. The meal was on my table in ten minutes and was well cooked, nicely laid out and tasted fine. A decent pub. Thank-you.

The best wetherspoons I've been in yet and I've been in a few. Food was perfect and staff very friendly and helpful. The place was spotlessly clean.

Well, out of all the Spoons I've visited, this has to be the best. The food didn't even taste like a Spoon's breakfast. Everything was warm for a start! Tasty sausages, with actual flavour! Toast in a basket (posh!) Sauce in a bottle, not sachets. Free syrup for coffee. Lovely view. Great service. And clean! Spot on.

A great Wetherspoons next to Halifax bus station

Very similar to witherspoon around the same price also

First time we've been here and we were quite impressed. We had fish and chips and a Steak pie and chips and both were much better quality and presentation than Spoons food but at similar prices.The drinks were good and the bar service friendly and the only drawback was the long wait for the meals (55 mins), not sure if this is normal or whether the kitchen was short staffed but it did seem a bit excessive.

I haven't been to The Percy Shaw for over 12 months but has been told its still good. So I can't make a comment about it

It was OK. Staff were good and efficient

Great value drinks and food. Friendly staff and clean facilities.

Descent pub, and nice atmosphere.

Now not a Wetherspoon so please update google with closing times

Do not buy the margherita pizza - dry and tasteless

Good place to start a night out. Sensibly priced beers in a relaxed atmosphere.

What a lovely pub. The outside seating area is quite small which was a shame because the evening of our visit was a rare sunny treat and it would have been lovely to sit out. Service was prompt, despite the pub being busy. And I have to say that I LOVED their Purple Rain cocktail. We called in to the pub both nights of our stay and I had it both nights because it was lovely.

The place has really gone downhill since it was sold. The menu is tiny and has very limited options for someone who doesn't want a very meaty lunch. Although the building was quite nice inside and has been renovated, it is just a cover up for what is a very mediocre pub.

Food was good and the staff were very friendly

Regular Wetherspoons experience. Clean, tidy, cheap. Nice views. Big glass frontage so plenty of sunlight can get in. Great! 👍👍

Thought we’d visit a local well know cafe but it was full so we opted for Percy’s. It was pretty dead which I was surprised at but haven’t been in since it’s been under new ownership. We got drinks served by a nice lad at the bar and ordered 2 large breakfasts. When the food arrived at our tables we were surprised to see the beans, or should I say lack of beans, they had been put in the smallest pot I’ve ever seen beans served in, it was one of those little pots I’d expect tomato sauce etc to be served in, both plates had the same pot of beans so it wasn’t an error, they’re just blumin tight when it comes to the cheapest thing on the plate, totally don’t understand their logic with this as they could fill a decent size pot and it would still cost next to nothing, the other thing was lack of tomatoes, since when does a full breakfast exclude tomatoes, not one tomato, again something cheap that could make a plate look a lot fuller. The sausages & hash browns were really nice, the bacon was tasty but absolutely full of fat and sat in a massive puddle of grease, just give it a dab with kitchen roll or something instead of plonking it straight on the plate dripping in grease, then 2 nicely cooked eggs which were the best thing on the plate. It was an ok breakfast that could be massively improved with minor tweaks.

If you are pushed for time, don't come here, service at the bar was excellent, unfortunately I ordered our food and almost an hour later we received it, I had asked one of the staff twice if he would check how long it would be, but he never got back to me. When the food came, again, I was disappointed, the steak was excellent however the fries were luke warm at best and the peas hadn't been anywhere near any heat, also it was served on a board, how do you get peas to stop on a flat board? They were in a very small ramakin so couldn't eat them from there, even if they had been edible. My husband's pie chips peas and gravy came in a small bowl minus the peas, and smothered in gravy, (this should have been in a jug like the other sauces do) if we had been told when we ordered that there was a wait then you can decide if you want to stop or not, and when the food eventually came there wasn't an apology. My other observation, whilst I was waiting was that the only people clearing the tables were the customers that wanted to sit down.even the staff taking out the food didn't bring any glasses etc back with them. I have been here several times since it changed hands and have always been perfectly satisfied, unfortunately this last experience means I won't be back again unless it improves.

After waiting 50 min for pie chips and peas, and asking twice when it was coming, it turned up with lukewarm chips and no peas, and with no appolalgis, and a waiter unable to clear glasses on his way back to the counter, won't be going back soon

All the staff are lovely and welcoming. Food is on point and comes out quick. Bottles are cheap. I drink fire ball shots. Like loads 🫶🤦‍♂️ they run out.. so 1 of staff went to reload me some. U can beat service like it. 👍

This is our first visit since new ownership. Staff friendly and helpfull. Looks a lot lighter and nice music playing. Food was lovely. We both had loaded mixed grill and it was lovely, cooked just how we asked really tasty and all meats were wonderfull. This was a late lunch as we had been to The Vue will definitely be back. Prices were good as well

The manager is very rude the service was very bad food was very average will not visit again

Went for the first time since it was taken over, all I can say is that it was a really good menu, price good and quick service, give it a try

Great staff members a bit cluttered Food is terrible whoever is cooking can't do eggs very well and also they are using cheap frozen pizzas Won't go again until sorted

Good to meet uo....probably a good atmosphere with a big group.

Didn't have food since its been changed owners

Five of us came for a meal n Sunday teatime….we were all impressed with the food,also it was hot and served on warm plates (hate it when food is served on cold plates) 👍

Went to The Percy Shaw on the strength of a Wetherspoons meal being safe and value for money. The news that the pub is no longer in the hands of 'Spoons had passed us by and so we were left to sample the goods in an ex-Spoons. We weren't overly impressed to be honest. The pub was right on the mark of average and had nothing to add that made us want to return. Our meals were deeply unimpressive and we were far from impressed. It was all a bit bland and dull.

Was dead for a Saturday at 830pm

Nice friendly bar in Halifax open from 09.00 till 01.00 ( ex Weatherspoons ) Same prices same good service

Nice place, menu okay, some decent offers on.

Gone downhill since being taken over, service wasn't great, appearance of servers was not good, white trainers caked in mud, touching food on plates, as we sat across from serving window we saw a lot of not nice habits, so much so I didn't have a big meal, just had chips. Won't be going again now.

This meal was really nice steak and ale pie with mash, veg and gravy if u go on a Tuesday. This 1 is on offer they also have other items on offer too, friendly staff quick service

Been a few times now for food since the pub has changed hands,always been good, nice and clean and pleasant staff

Very friendly staff great service great price and great Quality food befo would good back recommended to anyone

Reasonably priced food and drinks a decent range of real ales

Wasn't so quick on clearing table between meals. Sent adult meals first before childrens. Also same with puddings adults came first before kids

They were very short staffed but the ones that were working were ok. The food was not good cold thrown on the plate it was nearly inedible

I went here with family also the name of the place is iconic, we had breakfast and the lunch 😋 it also provides free top ups of tea or coffee ☕️

Percys is no longer a wetherspoons, however the prices are still very reasonable and the food is to a good standard. The menu is alot smaller than wetherspoons and drinks are not included however it's still reasonably priced and well worth a visit. PLUS at the moment kids Menu is £1 on a Monday !!

Nice social space,staff pleasant and welcoming.Atmosphere in day time is relaxed and friendly.Value very good.Didnt eat here, just met for drinks but plenty of popular choices for breakfast, lunch etc.

Great place good prices for drink and food .

Unfortunately not the place it used to be . Real ale choices not as good . Prices have gone up . Last pint had to take back as cloudy and tasted funny . Such a shame . As enjoyed a pint and views .

Went in for breakfast. Was told 35 minute wait and it wasn't that busy. So we left

Good to see open again and doing well. Great beers and staff

Absolutely disgusted, my wife came in and ordered the VEGAN BLT and was given the non vegan one! Shes not eaten meat product in 15 years this would be considered a hate crime if she was vegan for religious reasons!

Like the place. Cheap drinks. Not changed much since it was a wetherspoons.

Only had coffee but it wasn't the best. Very weak, couldn't taste coffee. Just like drinking hot water & milk. That said, the place is lovely, just need to sort out the coffee.

Quick service and friendly staff

Great food great atmosphere and welcoming even though I was dressed common and sound it too ha haa 😂 I felt comfortable and I don't visit pub's at all. Thanks for having us also it cost 52 quid and fed 5 plus a 4year old bargain okay okay someone else paid for dessert and another for drinks so still less than 100 easy.

Good beer, good service, great music

A decent pub. Cheap and cheerful! Good for pregaming and food!

Great start for new ownership definitely out shone the former spoons owner's. Food was good and the service was great It was definitely worth a visit.

Once we found a seat/table for two we were able to get to the facilities.

Great shame wetherspoons selling out.

Was in on the 15-04-2003 Nice place but put off by the chef scooping chips on to a plate with his hand Not good at all

Top class food definitely recommended chef a magician loveded it 😊👌🏻

Not a fan, friendly staff, just lacks atmosphere, very open, with very little character. But a good selection of wines and beers and spirits.

Excellent place with friendly staff

Waiting 45 minutes from a breakfast. Never had this before it was sold. I'll be going to Wetherspoons in the town centre from now on. Looks like theu can't keep the standard of witherspoon. Shame

Great pub lovely and clean, food was good, better than the previous Percy shaws, mom rates the coffee so hard she's been telling everyone about it. Good prices too. Lady who served us was very friendly and polite and had a chat which was a nice touch. Good luck for the future.

Only just realised it existed.. good find though,used to be a weather spoons, didn't eat here but food looked good

The food service was terrible with 3 aspects of the mixed grill missing. Our food sat on the pass for 10 minutes and us all getting parts of our meal at different times.

Some dirty tables, no cask ales at the time. Quite busy, not very warm.

Food absolutely horrible everything was deep fried waited extra 10 minutes for onion rings couldn't even cut my fish fingers won't be going back

Much the same as Wetherspoons was. Out of our party of three adults all commented the food wasn't quite as good and wouldn't be coming again in a hurry.

The food was awful. The lasagne was swimming in oil.It was the worst lasagne I've ever had Would definitely not recommend.

Brilliant service, food was brilliant will visit again

Nice modern clean pub, used to be a Wetherspoons but not anymore. Food lovely , quick service for drinks and good prices.

My husband had the steak and Ale pie with mash and gravy and he said he really enjoyed it. I had the chicken tikka massla with chips was delicious, the place seemed quiet so maybe needs more advertising to say its open. Would definitely recommend here.

Had a brunch. Bacon under cooked looked boiled and flashed on the grill for 1 minute. Sausages were white with no sign of been grilled or fried.

Very disappointed had a mixed grill the chicken breast was a chicken chunk the steak wasn't much bigger the egg was hard and got no peas to be honest it was totally disgusting

The new owners Black Star Pubs have done a great job. The decor is fresh and inviting. The new menu is similar to Wetherspoons as are the prices, although you must buy drinks separate now. The food quality and presentation are far superior to anything Wetherspoons ever provided. The burger was moist and juicy, onion rings crisp, bacon was tasty, the chips were crisp yet fluffy. As for the gammon and eggs. It looked like 5* service. 2 thick slices of gammon, 3 fried eggs, plenty of crisp fluffy chips dressed with fresh herbs. The gammon was great, full of flavour, and so thick. The eggs were perfect. Definitely worth coming back for. My only issue is done tables are not wheelchair friendly. The door was hard to get through and the new seating area near the bar makes it hard to get to the bar. Especially in a wheelchair, my wife tried and ended up being skipped over by staff as they couldn’t see her over the high bar. But that doesn’t detract from the amazing food and great prices.

Unbelievable. Waited 50 minutes for a beef burger and chips. Burger was pink in the middle ( I check with staff if it was steak or normal..... normal!) And no chips. Told it would be awhile to replace so just cancelled and asked for a refund. Not even a heads up about the wait time. Won't bother again

Excellent place with friendly staff

First visit since new owners took over from weatherspoons, the English breakfast was spot on, the service was excellent, the place was spotlessly clean, and good value too. 👍👌

Used to visit the Percy Shaw regularly before a cinema outing when it was a Wetherspoons; no, it wasn't 5 star dining by any means, but you got a meal that was good value in a friendly atmosphere. I had misgivings when I heard the place had been sold to another pub chain, and waited several months to pay a visit for breakfast today. First of all, there is no app to order from your table; you have to queue at the bar and wait for a member of staff to acknowledge you, by which time (if you're by yourself and it's busy) someone else could be sitting at your table. No salt or pepper, so if you require these basic essentials I'd advise you to take your own; I saw someone else mention this lack of condiments in a review 5 weeks ago, so it's clearly not something the new owners are worried about fixing. What I really didn't appreciate was a member of staff trying to hustle me into eating up and leaving when I still had a fair amount of food left on my plate; I noticed that he wasn't trying to evict the tableful of men who were already half cut at quarter to eleven in the morning, so it's fairly clear what sort of clientele the Percy Shaw's management team are trying to attract. Next time I have a movie outing planned, I'll eat at home or bring a sandwich to the cinema.

I only gave one star for food as I never have eaten here but have to add the food coming out looks amazing ... but this is my couple of drinks before food place .... staff are always soo polite and good at there jobs (hope you all get paid decent) ....never ever had a marked or dirty glass always clean inside and packed and busy all the times I have been here ... Great place to meet up for a bevvy with friends and family before food !! Hope this continues your doing a great .....no FANTASTIC job .... 👏 👍
