Top Brink inn in Calderdale

Great place, lovely food as always.

Went with a group of 9 people, my starter did not arrive, we asked why, they brought it out just as everyone else on the table had finished their's. I ordered a chicken burger and was disappointed, wish I'd ordered something else, the chips were hot but dry and hard, won't be returning anytime soon.

The Sunday dinner is to die for!

Food was very nice and service staff were very nice and friendly. We didn't book a table so we got seated around the back on our own, in some regards that was a good thing because we have little kids, but it let down the atmosphere a little bit. But a great place, highly recommend and we will be visiting again. I would recommend the cheese and onion pie, was delicious 🥧🍻👍

Starter onion bhaji over cooked infact burnt on the outside Salmon main coarse was lovely although potatoes could have been cooked a little longer, veg was nice thought it was a bit much to be charged 1.50 for bbq sauce Staff were nice ..would go again .place is lovely

Very very tasty and the staff are really friendly 😋

Lovely inn with good beers and excellent food served in a relaxed atmosphere with interesting jugs hung from the ceiling beams.

Lovely setting for a family celebration. Menu caters well for coeliacs and vegetarians/vegans. Staff nice. One point of feedback would be to introduce a wine list and cocktails/mocktails, but that is a minor quibble. Will go there again!

Tje last time we went to the top brink was in the 1960s it has not changed it is still first class!! the staff are polite the food is the best.the drive there is interesting to say the least of course we will be going again

Called into this pub over the weekend with family. First time visit. Plenty of parking spaces in the car park. The food we ordered was fantastic, big portions and piping hot. Good selection of ales at the bar. The service was excellent. Will definitely call again in the future

Good pub with scenic views. Food is decent by pub standards but, in my opinion, unusually expensive (a mixed grill was £27).

Bit of a tricky narrow lane that leads you here, that said; the service is spot on, the food and drinks are delicious and the inn has a relaxed atmosphere. Will be here again…..👍🏻

Always nice food, great portion sizes and good value for money

Really good food. Plenty of seating outside and inside. Great location for a stop off for food and drink if you are hiking too.

After driving around Hebden Bridge and Todmorden , we decided to go for lunch and ended up here, friendly staff, fabulous lunch and the Raspberry sundae is to die for, cannot wait to come back. See you all soon and thank you.

Great food and good selection of beers and wines

Bene coming here for years and enjoying it but last night completely missed the mark. The service was poor and the food took forever to come out with little-no communication from staff. When the food arrived it was not at all the standard I expected for the price. The chips were barely cooked and just tasted like cheap oil, even ketchup couldn't mask the taste. The fish was dry. A friend tried their speciality burger and it was one of the worst he'd tasted. Smothered in mustard so you couldn't taste anything else and the meat on its own wasn't great. For the prices we paid I was shocked.

Great lunch out; pub food as you want it, and good service.

Staying at Stable cottage on holiday just down the road from The Top Brink. Fantastic food and service, highly recommend a visit!!👍😊❤️

Excellent al round, highly recommended.

Beautiful oldie-worldy boozer in perfect surroundings. Great service. Food..... Steak and ale pie.. all gravy not alot of steak at all. Not a pie, no base just the puff pastry top. Disappointed really not what I was led to believe. My partners steak was tough. I'm writing this as the food should reflect the prices... and it does not. We shall not be returning. Shame as its a lovely place.

One of my 2 favourite pubs. Great beers (Timothy Taylors) and the food is always excellent. New tables in the conservatory and excellent as ever.

I am coeliac so eating out is a challenge. However I was so impressed with the staff and their reassuring knowledge. I was even asked if I was coeliac or gluten free. The food was delicious. My husband said his steak and ale pie was the best he's ever had in a pub. Excellent job and well worth a visit.

Visited on Saturday, had 2 Top Brink burgers, cost £17 each& was absolutely awful Burger was very dry, my wifes brioche bun was like charcoal on the bottom, chips (frozen), tasteless & dry, Coleslaw was worse than the cheapest you can get in a supermarket Staff were miserable & not interested Decor & toilets horrible Will never go again & I suggest you avoid at all cost

Absolutely fabulous food. Great service.

Lacking customer service and patience. I asked for the cheese and onion pie for my mum. To then be told they didn’t have any left. (Usually when I go to a restaurant/ pub dinning I get told what’s not available on the menu after being seated) but, then again I forget the menus were chucked down and the waitress walked off. So, on ordering the rest of group ordered and I was still having to go through the menu to help my mum. The waitress then rolling her eyes and putting her note pad across her mouth then decided to tell us what wasn’t available on the menu. God forbid if I’d of asked the waitress to come back in a couple more minutes. Having my mum who’s of an older age and can’t see a menu due to bad eye sight was then felt rushed. The waitress was not helpful or kind at all. I didn’t have the time to go through the menu and felt so pressured to make a decision. The huffing and eye rolling isn’t very nice. She’s stood behind the bar like a bouncer with a face like a slapped bum. Not welcoming at all!!!!. I dine here quite regularly with friends and honestly very disappointed today taking my mum and some of her friends for lunch.

A really beautiful place with delicious food. It also has a fun little arcade room that's great to keep kids entertained for a few mins if they don't feel like eating immediately.

Great place for a meal and a hike up to stoodley pike. There’s a massive car park and outdoor seating. Lovely place in the summer.

Very nice pub had lovely lunch here and enjoyed the views.

Starter to share came with no plates to eat off had to put on a napkin which also had to wipe hands on Steak not cooked as asked so sent back but still came back pink and chips burnt on outside but raw on inside Manager acknowledged problem with chips but blamed supplier (homemade chips)??? Been going for years but will not be returning

Not good burgers! Burger is a 3/10 on my burger rating list It tasted burnt! Nice location 👍 Arcade could do with some work! Nice building however food is a bit questionable!

We have just finished a five night stay on Oldroyd Road. We paid three visits to the Tip Brink in this time and each visit was excellent. They halloumi fries are amazing and the Cajun fries are a must try.The Cheese and onion pie beat me again, it is a beast. We will make it to desert one day

Got recommended to me and was very impressed. The staff were very friendly and with a good choice of beers and the food was awesome.

Amazing food and child friendly been here multiple times with the family always great service highly recommend and beautiful views

small party of 4 plus one dog so ate outside - Beautiful moorland views, friendly & courteous service. Lots of menu choice & decent prices. Thankyou.

Lovely pub restaurant. Lovely staff. Good selection of drinks. Food is excellent. Great views of local countryside. But beware of the narrow roads to get to this venue.

Top quality food in a really scenic area.

Curry was extremely hot ,i did politely complain but no response, so i will not be going again lli think your cheff should be tasting the food before dishing it out. Our table service dissappeared to

Couldn't do any more for me. Great food friendly staff, will definitely be back.

First visit today. I saw an advert or review on fb a few months ago and had good vibes. We had a run out today and decided to make it in our way to call. We hadn't booked but a table for two was found for us in the conservatory. There was a wide choice on the menu and reasonably priced by today's standards. We had the broccoli potato stilton bake and the scampi. Both were good portions, nicely cooked and presented and tasted delicious. The staff were incredibly attentive, friendly, always on hand . Yes our first visit yesterday but definitely not our last. A lovely pub with lots of parking with outside seating in a beautiful location. Thankyou.

The food is excellent. The menu is not standard pub fare. There is plenty of choice and a regularly changing specials menu.

Burger had not taste to it was dry

Nice place up the hills above todmorden parking plentiful food good nice menu

Never fails to deliver great food and service 😋

Love The Top Brink Inn... we've been going there for years as a family. The food is always spot on and so is the service.

Food is very good and the staff very professional. Great location. Highly recommended.

What a lovely pub with fantastic food will definitely be returning

Good honest food. Can't go wrong. It's out if the ways a bit but it's always busy. That tells you everything you need to know

Food has always been spot on as has the beer and the location !

Been twice now and it doesn't disappoint food is excellent 👌

This pub serves lovely meals at reasonable prices. We have gone there over 25 years and have never been disappointed.

Perfect Mid-Week Dinner at The Top Brink Inn Located in the scenic town of Todmorden, The Top Brink Inn proved to be the ideal spot for a mid-week, early dinner for two. We reserved a table for 5pm on a Thursday. The restaurant was not too busy, and the service was impressively quick, offering a decent menu with a variety of options. For starters, we shared a bowl of delicious olives and hummus, which was a delightful beginning to our meal. For our main courses, we chose burritos and chilli con carne, both of which were incredibly tasty and well-prepared. The total cost of the meal, including two drinks, came to under £50. This represented excellent value for money. Overall, The Top Brink Inn offers a wonderful dining experience in Todmorden and is definitely worth a visit.

Amazing location ,lots of outdoor seating ,food looks nice ,helpful staff

Lovely food and the service was excellent. Plenty of parking spaces

First time visiting Top Brink Inn. The location is nice... Food service not the best, not understanding the menu. Struggling to understand what a large wine is or a bottle..maybe inexperienced Waiter. More training needed. Food was ok standard. Nothing special. Kids machines or corner where machines where. Completely out of date. Nothing for children to do. Yes ok it's not a family oriented pub. But as least get little something for children to do. Very small back area. Needs something up to date. Windows in family room very dusty deco out of date. Really sorry but nothing more then a 3* ALOT of improvements needed. Wouldn't come back. If the owners would like to reply I am more then welcome cooperate

My wife and I go here from Huddersfield quite regularly. The food is very good and the staff are very friendly. Nice pint of Landlord. Brilliant. Had very nice rump steak. Aw

Best food and lovely scenic area.must go.

I have been coming here for Sunday lunch for years but will not be in the future. It has become quite tired looking inside the old section, the extension though is quite good. The carpets are worn and the radiators in the toilets have turned to rust, the food is now quite bland with tasteless vegetables and it's quite expensive for what you get. It's essentially expensive pub grub in a country pub atmosphere but with average food. Maybe I'm a bit fussy but there is no excuse for vegetables to be tasteless. I have edited the review after the reply from the owners, the photos were from a previous visit.

Friendly staff great atmosphere 👌

We visit here quite regularly but we are not regulars if you know what I mean. As usual everything was just as you you would expect. Friendly and efficient service without being rushed. We took our friend from Wakefield who catches the train to Todmorden where we pick him up. After ordering drinks we were busy catching up so the waitress had to come back a couple of times before we were ready to order but this wasn't a problem. The food is traditional Pub Fayre but always freshly cooked and delicious. This is our friends favourite in the area and always asks to go there. It's also on of ours we also go with other local friends but in the evening. A Firm Favourite.

Amazing place and food was awesome. Definitely will visit again

This place has been superb for years. The food is delicious and large selection of drinks. Really worth the long distance drive

Been coming here off and on for @ 10 years but very regularly the last 7 since moving to the Valley. Always consistently good food, good service and atmosphere also consistently great. Yes prices have gone up but I’m not coming here to eat fast food at Poundland prices or go to a contemporary place anywhere in the country. I like the individuality of the Top Brink and it’s a good local place I’ll keep coming back to.

Going down hill fast. My family have been regulars here for the past 40 years. We still go atleast twice a month and it's just not nearly what it was. I used to always get a Cumberland sausage but now the price of a sausage is so extortionate i opt for a light bites steak. Each and everytime I ask for it medium rare and it arrives well cooked like cardboard.We went as a large group recently for a family occasion. It took us all being sat for an hour and requesting someone take our order 3 times before anyone actually did. The staff, bar one gentleman seemed to not care. When my food arrived my steak was again cardboard and I had an undercooked egg with raw egg white all on the top with a cold yolk. I kindly asked if they give it a few more minutes so the egg was properly cooked and it came back a few moments later cold and raw ontop again. I just accepted it and continued to enjoy a social evening with my family. But we all agreed the service and food is not nearly what it was. Such a shame.

We had a family lunch here, a lovely old style family eatery/pub. Nice ales and the food was well presented and tasty, and most importantly the service was friendly and professional.

Really nice place to eat, and a nice area as well

Dogs only allowed outside so if raining avoid this place with dogs!!!!! Nice food though

Sunday lunch for a party of 44 on Easter Sunday - fabulous food, excellent service. Everything was great - thank you. The roast dinners were spot on and the whole party were served quickly and efficiently with piping hot food so we all got to eat together. Thank you

Best Cumberland sausages on the planet. Always have been always will.

Often visit the Top Brink and never disappointed, Great food and service as always, served by a lovely young man called Ellis, thanks for fantastic service Ellis!

Our first but not last visit, Everything about the place was superb, from arriving to leaving , Staff, Service and the food were ALL excellent, With a great choice of dishes, if you can't find something on their menu that you fancy ,in my opinion your too fussy. Felt so comfortable, even had some banter with what I think may of been the land lady, dont always get that in such good places. Thanks for a lovely friendly visit and look forward to going again.

Had a great 👍🏻 steak & Taylor pie & chips Great service , great views whilst you eat 👍🏻

Visited recently had a lovely meal Recommend the scampi and caramel apple cake

Wednesday visit, four drinks, two starters and two mains £65 and Friday three drinks and two mains £42. The reason I’ve started with this is I found it to be such good value, as not only is the food delicious the portions are huge. Also as a vegetarian I had multiple choices ,not just the vegetarian option which I normally get. I had halloumi fries and they were the best I’ve ever had, in fact to the point unless I come back here , I’m not going to bother having them again. I had cheese and onion pie on the Wednesday and it was lovely. On the Friday I had the potato spinach cheese bake with garlic bread and it was just so tasty. My husband had halloumi flat bread on the Wednesday and a vegetable burger on the Friday and said they were both delicious. We had no room for deserts but they did look amazing. The staff were lovely and very accommodating as we arrived early both times and were seated no problem. If you’re looking for a quintessential Yorkshire country pub then this is it.

Friendly moor top Pub near Todmorden. Good food choices & large range of drinks. Lovely setting with excellent views towards moorland. A nice time was had by all our party.

A lovely welcome after a wet walk to Stoodley Pike, and portion sizes to match hiking appetites. Really good pub grub, the steak and ale pie was vast with rich gravy and a generous filling of slow cooked beef. Lots of fresh veg on the side. Friends had veggie options and also enjoyed them . The ‘small onset’ versions are also substantial. Lovely interesting decor, great selection of local beers. Good facilities. Would happily go back.

Food great. Service really good with all 8 meals being served at the same time. Highly recommended.

Are best experience, we love coming back here as we know what high standards we receive. As we own a number of establishment are selves in Dubai. The salads are probably the best around, try the large rump steak, outstanding. Thank-you. If you get to Dubai, drop in to Fibber Magee's and have a drink on me.

Everything about this place is spectacular, I would highly recommend

Excellent food, large portions, friendly staff.

One of our more regular places to visit. Great traditional pub style food. My partner has to have double Cumberland every time and won't have it anywhere else. Lovely friendly staff. Perfect for our little one to explore with an old school little arcade in the back.

Great value for money and been going for food now for over 40 years

A nice cosy pub serving delicious food and good service.

Brilliant experience, very helpful staff. Food excellent.

The place was maxed out and rightfully so. This didn’t affect the service or food quality, both were excellent. An excellent Sunday lunch out.

Perfect pub food and great value

Very nice pub and food. Quite a track for us sadly but if you are near Lumbutts it's well worth a visit

The staff was realy nice very attentive the restaurant was a nice cosy place to eat the food was nice couldn't fault it one bit cheers guys an girls for makeing us feel welcome

Good food. Great service. Atmosphere warm and friendly.

Was not bad. Better than the last times that we had been, but like all places it's getting pricey for what you get. Had good GF options.

Just had our best meal out for years. We both ordered the Indian starter and fish and chips for main. The food was amazing , the portions sizes good for the price, and despite it being quite busy we were shown to a table very quickly, and our order taken straight away and the staff were all very helpful and efficient. Will definitely be returning.

Fabulous roast beef dinner, great atmosphere & views from the window. Good service & felt homely...

Fantastic delicious pub food, great service and decent beers.

Very nice food very nice service excellent

My family has celebrated most of its important events at the Top Brink - literally for decades. The food is excellent and the staff kind, welcoming...and have excellent memories, even for those patrons who live abroad. If I were closer, I'd be there for Sunday roast every weekend. Please never change!

I love the Top Brink, always great food and great service. The staff are always very welcoming and the pub is in a great location in the hills above Todmorden. If you have been for a walk to the pike it's well worth a visit for cask ales and Cumberland sausage.

Love the Top Brink. Nice food, lovely staff, lovely place all round. Would recommend a visit

Excellent experience will go again really good place

First timer after recommendation from friends, and boy did it deliver! Excellent food and the service was fast and pleasant.

We were a family group of 8 on Boxing Day 2023. I'm gluten free and I was spoilt for choice. My daughter has other allergies not in the 14 and I spoke to Paul the Head Chef who just "magicked" a meal for her. We were so impressed. Service was fast and friendly, they were allergy aware and literally couldn't do enough. I wish I could have tipped more.
