The Prospect in Calderdale

Called in for lunch today, thoroughly enjoyable food and service was exemplary. Look forward to returning in the not too distant future.

Excellent food and service, will definitely be returning.

Absolutely fantastic. Looking forward to the next time.

Outstanding food. Staff very friendly and polite. Highly recommended.

Today I took my nan for afternoon tea at The Prospect. She lives near by and we had seen a Groupon offer and some good reviews. What we actually got far surpassed our expectations. I had communicated before hand online and found the communication excellent and prompt. We arrived at 1pm for our booking and was greeted by a very friendly lady ( who later we found to be the owners daughter) she told us to pick a table we would like and came straight away with tea and coffee. She was ever so friendly, and When our afternoon tea arrived it was huge and  could have fed 4! The cakes and scones were lovely and a great choice but the sandwiches!! Wow what a selection. We were offered more tea and coffee throughout our visit and it was nice to see the place looking so clean and tidy. It was warm and welcoming and the owners really are making the best effort to attract customers. Others around us were eating off the regular menu and it looked gorgeous! We can't wait to to back to have a meal. It was a bargain with the Groupon offer but would have been still value for money without it. I almost didn't want to use it because I felt they deserved every penny. We will be back to try the rest of the menu very soon. ( ps don't let the roadworks put you off! There is access in boothtown near range bank which we found better to use actually)

Absolutely gorgeous, steak pie to die for.All drinks excellent temperature, toilets spotless.

Excellent Food, Excellent value. Excellent Service. What can I say about the Food, probably the best 3x course meal I have had from a Pub. 3 x courses for £14 per person (extra £3 supplement for a mixed Carvery so works out £17 per person). Starter: The Black Pudding and bacon stack, with peppercorn sauce, crispy onions (best starter I have ever had). Main: A Mixed Roast Carvery (Chicken, Beef, Gammon & Roast Pork), Massive Yorkshire puddings & roast vegetables. Desert: Sticky Toffee Pudding & Ice Cream. The New Manager, Waitresses, and other staff where excellent. So much I bought everyone in the kitchen a drink and tipped the waitress both of them separately. PS: Genuine Review from a genuine paying customer (Came father's day 16/06/24 and again 30/06/24).

Went for a private party, decent service, average selection of drinks, didn't try the food, would need to visit again to get a better idea of things

Called in to here last week and wanted to order food, was very disappointed with the service as was told they had no food, the staff dressed as they were on on holiday. Will not be returning at the moment and we ALWAYS GIVE AT LEAST £20 TIP

delivery was super quick and the food was super tasty. The only slight issue I had was the garlic mushrooms weren't garlicky enough. But everything was still excellent and would definitely order here again

food was lovely will order again

I would of given it 5 stars. The only thing that let it down was that I asked for no cheese on the burger. It came with cheese. Quality food otherwise.

Full quality. Can't fault them at all. Friendly Professional staff and great food. Quiet location with plenty of outdoor space. Plus, dog friendly.

Amazing food everyone enjoyed it will definitely be coming again

The change in the management has affected this place. Food as gone downhill . Wouldn't be going back anytime soon. Diabolical.

The service was equally as good as the food. There were 9 of us having a meal for my nieces 19th birthday and it was enjoyed by all. We can’t wait to get together & visit again. We felt very welcome on our first visit.

Staff really busy as a daytime party on.. still fitted us in and were lovely attentive and kept us upto date with where everything was up to apologising for being busy, yet they were blooming great.

Ordered 3 meals yesterday salt and pepper chicken burger, steak and ale pie and the lasagne and must say they were all amazing 1 of the best lasagna I’ve ever tasted and local too!! Definitely will be back soon 🤤😁

Had a lovely meal at the prospect. Wine good quality too! Very attentive service. Good all round experience. 👏

no crusty bread with the garlic mushrooms , 2 tiny pots of cold custard to go with the jam sponge but not worth supplying as on only 3 table spoons in each pot. very disappointing 😞

Wow!! The food was great, arrived red hot and the steak was cooked to perfection. They even called ti check how I wanted it. Thank guys. Keep on rocking 😃

Good value for money. Staff extremely good.

First visit to the prospect and very impressed we will be back...Warm & cosy, with great decor..Excellent food & great service. Very friendly & warm welcome from the lovely waitress..

the pub it nice place to eat but the food came out lukewarm all three plates. the food was good and a plate full but just not hot.

Lovely pub, helpful staff. Really enjoyed the gammon and thick cut chips, will have this again.

Went here just by chance after seeing it on Google. So glad we did as the food was delicious 😋 we had the rib eye steak, it was cooked just right and the chips were banging (as my kids say! 😀) The pub was cosy and clean and I was able to take my dog in too. Natasha was our waitress/bar person and she was lovely, she took time to chat with us and check everything was ok with our food. Came out feeling pleasently full. Will definitely be back to try other things on their delicious menu. 😀

Came here today for the first time for a Sunday lunch with my family. Overall first impression when we first arrived was very pleasant and lovely atmosphere. We ordered 4 roast beef dinners and all came out, which when arrived were all cold. The waitress asked us if we wanted them warming up to which we said it would be nice to have a hot meal. When they arrived back at the table, it was quite clear they had been microwaved as the Yorkshire pudding was wet and soggy and certain items on the plate were still cold. Only two plates came out at a time so it meant we weren’t all eating together. Although we were reimbursed for two of the dinners it was extremely disappointing to know that the food is quite literally being thrown on to the plate to be microwaved and served.

We haven't eaten here for over 30 years but we came just after Christmas and it was excellent

Dropped in for something to eat because the place we were going to go only opened for food from 5pm . Didn’t have a booking and Lucy made us feel very very welcome. It was an awful day outside , she sat us right by the open fire popped some More logs on and brought our drinks to the table. Brill service. And really couldn’t believe how good the food was. It was very fresh, very tasty and I’d suggest you try the croquettes, excellent. Very good will be visiting again for sure. Thank you Lucy and the team.

A lovely atmosphere for a Christmas lunch with excellent food

Had my daughters 21st there. Staff were brilliant went out of their way to make it such an amazing night. The food was excellent and extremely priced. Highly recommended

First time in coming here as soon as I walked through door I was welcomed in the pub the manager spoke to me introduced herself, Declan asked where I would like to be seated he was gentle spoken and asked if I would like to order drinks brought menu even read the menu out and answered questions about the food. Declan is a well mannered young man who served myself and my grandson throughout the time I was here its a beautiful pub to visit calm music very Christmas with the lights log fire is beautiful. Thank you everyone I will be coming back.

banging meal! hot beef baguette and chips... the beef just melts in the mouth and the chips were gorgeous! just wished there was a few more chips but I'm a greedy boy 🤤

Great food as per usual. Beef baguette with gorgeous gravy / meat juices. Tried the gyozas and thought they might be stodgy but they're anything but ... lovely and crisp and tasty with a dipping sauce (?soy🤔 ... good anyway!). Thanks.

Impressed 👍 is my first impression. I would definitely recommended this place. I hav never been so pleased. The price I paid for what I got was a big thing for me, the beef baguette was the best iv ever had. You won't be disappointed, I'm never eating anywhere else again 😂 I mean it

Staying locally for a couple of days and found The Prospect after looking for good pub food. Very nice clean and friendly atmosphere very good food. Great value for money. Brisket pie was huge but very nice and the tagliatelle was very tasty. Extremely helpful bar staff will definitely visit again when back in the area

Lovely Sunday lunch, first time we've been will definitely be returning. Highly recommended

Visited here for the first time today for lunch, what a beautiful place and absolutely delicious food, Lucy was a wonderful attentive host. This place has a cosy, friendly, warm atmosphere, the views over Halifax on a non foggy day will be stunning. More people need to visit this hidden gem in Halifax, Can't believe I've not been before, will definitely be back. The cheesy cottage pie croquettes with gravy mayo were an amazing starter as was the sharing camembert with mouth watering crumb top. The beef dripping fish and chips served with a tasty curry mayo and pot of mushy peas rivalled the best seaside fair! All three of us Managed to squeeze in desert and coffee too all fantastic. Thanks again to all @The Prospect, can't wait to visit again and try more dishes from your amazing menu 😊 it all looked and tasted so good I didn't get chance to take any photos, next time x

Really enjoyed the food. Will order again

Smashing food will be going back it was quite when we went with 2 friends but it was early afternoon

Curry night £15 with a drink. No starter and only one Curry option. More options and a starter instead a limited options on drinks would be better in my opinion

Friendly welcome, great food and beer.

What a hidden Gem, nice and friendly staff, clean and tidy environment and lovely scrumptious food, win win for a hard to please vegan.

Loved it, very friendly and extremely helpful staff, the food was delicious, special thanks to the chef, loved the decor very modern, would highly recommend

Did not like having to listen to staff bitching about another colleague,My gammon was tasteless both meals.swamped in gravy..Sorry not worth the money.Try the Turkey at Goose eye near Laycock Different league.

Excellent pub food. Pleasant and helpful staff. Beer garden affords wonderful views across Halifax and beyond.

Had a really nice Sunday lunch at The Prospect. The food was absolutely amazing and arrived on the table in good time. The service was brilliant and the staff courteous and very friendly. This was my first visit to The Prospect and certainly won't be the last. Excellent place to dine!

My first choice was unavailable which was disappointing though my second choice was delicious. We had to wait a considerable time for our meals to be served after ordering. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. The pub is very nice and has great views.

Very was quiet for a Saturday evening. Menu was okay but chips were not cooked thoroughly... Bit d disappointed as have been before and the good was quite good.

Packaging terrible , gravy pots melted so gravy was all over the bag and in the foil of the baguette. Disappointed.

23/7/23 visited this place and all I can say is wowser the food the service the ambiance was absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much Lucy and team. We will definitely be visiting you again . Highly recommend you to my friends and family

Went here for a family meal while some family from a while away were visiting. The food was great (I had scampi), including the Orange Chocolate Cake, which I sadly forgot to photograph. The staff were accommodating and we didn’t need to wait long at all to get our food in front of us. Despite my initial concerns regarding the menu, I found something for me. Will visit again.

Amazing food, we ordered the steak, chicken parmesan with gnocchi and chicken nuggets and chips. Everything delivered. The server was really nice and friendly. Bless them I think they had closed and we didn't realise and they where too friendly to ask us to leave. Really sorry guys ! One thing to note, the parking is on quite a steep hill, made me feel like if there was a stiff wind the car would roll over 😅

Very Friendly nothing any trouble Food great My favourite lemon cheese cake

Poor quality fish, chips swimming in fat and soggy.

Went for a birthday meal (14 off us) and had pre ordered the food beforehand. The food was lovely, dont get me wrong about that. This is the beef sunday lunch. We had orders missing and mixed up . Staff was nice, friendly when we got hold of them. Just don't think they are used to big parties. So, service was slow on that side . Would go again, just not as big group.

Lovely meal tonight and good service

We visited for a birthday and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The main courses were fantastic, so tasty and the food came quick. My only criticism was the chocolate brownie that came with ice cream was cold when usually its served warm. We will be back

The food was fantastic. Really happy with the burger and the garlic mushrooms where good too ..

The wife and I had our tea there. We both had a starter Chicken goujons, the chicken was cooked too perfection, we both truly enjoyed them. My wife had the fish and chips which she said was beautiful. I had the home baked baguette filled with brisket, excellent the service was first class, we both highly recommend you try thier restaurant "pub" for a first class meal and a drink in this quaint pub 👍😊

Ordered the Prospect Burger - very disappointed with the quality. It was barely warm when it arrived, the burger was not what I'd expect for the price - not home made and definitely not quality product. Also there were no onion rings. It's almost as though you hadn't expected any orders that night and just threw together what you had. Oddly you've been off platform since (April) so I couldn't review immediately. Hopefully your general food quality has improved. Otherwise, stick to your Sunday roasts - they're fab!

Loved the food 😋 I will definitely be going back again. The staff are very helpful and also very friendly. Would recommend going 👌

Cracking food and lovely service, I would highly recommend

Food was beautiful tasty and on time, staff was really nice and polite, price's was good ,definitely recommend, Sunday dinner and dessert,

Excellent food and the staff are so lovely! See you again soon ❤️

Very poor service and food chicken under cooked food not as described on menu wouldn't recommend

Served by the lovely Natasha. Great value for money. And did I mention the fantastic Natasha.

Everything was amazing, even the entertainment. Definitely recommend 👌 👍 👏 😀

Lunch yesterday fish and chips very tasty and amazing friendly service definitely recommend

Halifax your lucky to have this lovely pub , amazing food , great atmosphere and brilliant host's and staff. Wonderful views also of the Town , would highly recommend a visit. Please note the pub now has new tenants since the end of April 2023

First time we have visited the Prospect and all I can say is wow, wow, wow. From the moment we entered the door the Landlady was so attentive. Amazing service! The food was exceptional. We had the Chorizo & Nduja Sauage Roll and baked feta for starter, the crusted chicken special and hot crust steak and red wine pie. It was honestly superb. I will attach pictures and the bill. Overall, it's the best food and service in the area. Thank you.

Excellent food, highly recommended

Lovely food apart from the gravy being quite cold, and a few service issues but overall very tasty and reasonable!

Smaller delivery boxes for smaller portions maybe so food doesn't spread and slop about.

What a hidden gem food was top notch and the staff were very friendly and welcoming 🙏🏻

First time we have been in years. Very welcoming when we arrived. Food was amazing and plentiful. Will definitely return.

Lovely staff and food, but unfortunately for all that great pub food there's not a good pub ale or craft beer to accompany it! Recommended if you're not an ale or craft beer type.

Called in for tea with my partner, the food was amazing! Great portion sizes, arrived steaming hot, tasted divine and at a really good price. One of my new favourite places to eat!

Lovely food, had the pulled pork in a Yorkshire 😋😋, shame they didn't have any real ale 🍻 on

Went for the 2 for 1 dining. I had the vegetable tart which was disappointing, the pastry top was undercooked & the base was rock hard. The filling was delicious so not all bad! Staff were very pleasant & helpful

Food was delicious home cooked grub. Great value on the 2 for 1.

Excellent Sunday lunch. Most welcoming and very friendly.

Great service staff very friendly and helpful the food was excellent will definitely call again

We visited on Steak night and the food was below average.

Amazing Sunday lunch you will not get any better! Staff very friendly highly recommend.

Fabulous service, they had a gas leak so couldnt offer us lunch but they tried everything they could to get in touch and then offered us a free round of drinks to apologise. Really, really great service. We will be back soon 😊

Great food good service just closed too early!

the food was not as good as last time we went so only 3 stars

Lovely grub and great service. Average prices. Access and car park on quite a steep slope

Fantastic atmosphere, lovely staff, beautiful delicious food definitely will visit again thanks guys

Food was lovely and worth the money and lovely staff

Very nice sunday lunch, would definitely fo again

Bit of a mix up with the bill first time we went, it was quickly sorted out by Steve, food was really nice, will go again.

Lovely Sunday lunch,only thing that spoilt it was I was on my own ,so got the small table in front of the toilets,

Had Sunday dinner it was fantastic in fact one of the best we have had the wife had beetroot stack as she is vegetarian which she enjoyed . Will be back

Not been for a long time and went for Sunday lunch. Pleasantly surprised. lovely food, good beer.

Called here today for Sunday roast after seeing the good reviews on Google. We didn't end up eating as some of our group were vegetarian. There were 5 different meats on the menu but, after asking, they told us they could do a tart suitable for vegetarians. The waitress said the gravy was vegetarian if they take the bit off the top! This was after explaining it was made from meat juices and had meat in the bottom and couldn't understand that it wasn't vegetarian. We had a swift drink and walked out.

Nice pub, with an amazing roast dinner! Friendly staff and reasonable prices concidering the quality of the food!

Went to the 2 for 1 offer. Very impressed by the food and service, will definitely go back and be willing to pay full price.

Brilliant food Lovely atmosphere And when you get outside a lovely view
