Vocation & Co in Calderdale

Visited on a Saturday afternoon and a Monday afternoon when in the area, two different vibes amd enjoyed both, great selection of craft beers, amazing burgers.

Lovely friendly place with great staff, and the beer..........it's famous for a reason 😁

A little too busy the two times we came in at the weekend. But I'd say it must be due to how good to the food and beers are.

Excellent craft Porter,damned fine burgers and friendly customers.That's all I need on a Friday night.👍🏼

Beer Delicious,food looks great, friendly staff reasonably priced

Great place to chill out. Great selection of different beers twenty to be precise and Great burgers and loaded fries to choose from. Well worth visiting and next time I'm in hebden bridge will definitely be visiting here again to sample some excellent beers and food. PS the bar staff are brilliant aswell

Best hamburgers and great selection of craft beers. Highly recommend.

Set in the heart of picturesque Hebdenbridge, a beautiful period building serving great food and craft beer, friendly staff and nice atmosphere.

Great selection of beers. Great spot. Dog friendly

Great place. Fantastic food and beers to match. Very friendly staff 👍

The beer very good, but a little dearer than I usually pay.

Great selection of beers, IPAs, Pale Ales 🍺 😋

Superb! Great quality well kept beer and food is outstanding! It’s a win win!

First time here despite having family in Hebden for years and well impressed. Two pints of naughty and nice with a couple of burgers and a massive tray of cheesy chips! Definitely coming back.

Busy but loads of staff on so got served quick. Pastel De Nata Stout 👌 Sweet as you like

Great taphouse. Bright, airy, great selection of beers. Family and dog friendly. Collaboration with Slap and Pickle burgers for food. Easy location to access from train station.

Had a nice couple of beers here. Different (increased) price to drink in if you are getting a can from the fridge, so watch out for that. Bar staff friendly enough.

This is a great venue. The choice of ales is great. I wouldn't go as far as to say I am a burger connisur, however I always try and find the best burger in every town or city. This was definitely up there. I would probably buy 2 in one go! I purchased the Han Solo with cheese and a half pint of ale total cost £11.50.

Food was fab, and of course, the beers were amazing too! Will definitely be back every time we come to Yorkshire.

Best burger I've had for a while, was really very good. Great pint and nice friendly staff too, good place to sit and watch the world go by. Atmosphere is good too. Would recommend!

Nice place for a beer but didn’t enjoy my veggie burger, very dry and chips loaded with salt.

Nice burgers, beers and bar. shame they changed the chips Dog friendly

Truly excellent. So glad I visited, was saying I’ll come back again before finished burger.

2022: My favourite bar. 2024 update: still my favourite bar. Excellent beers, friendly and skilled staff, nice atmosphere, dogs.

Great place to meet up with old friends. The beer was good and they tell me the food was too, though I didn't try

Order of coffees and hot chocolate were sitting g on the bar for a while till we told them. Order arrived cold. And the hot chocolate had no flavour at all :( when mentioned, they offered sugar to add and make it sweeter :) poor, poor service. Update: as my review is being challenged, I’m attaching two new images: online order screen plus mobile pay confirmation :)

Excellent beers and huge selection. Burgers were really good. Staff are very efficient and friendly. Great venue and good vibe.

We popped here for our anniversary as we’d been before and had the best burger ever. Yet again we were not disappointed it was excellent and the loaded fries were very good again.

We ate here recently and had a couple of disappointing burgers. They didn't seem to be as good as they have been in the past. This is probably because of the lack of anything moist on the burger other than a hint of relish and a few tiny pickles. The price difference for having a cheese slice on the second burger? £1.50. I could buy a cheese slice for between 10p and 18p. So that is at least a 733% markup, assuming they use expensive cheese slices and ignoring trade discounts. We'll be coming back for the beer, but not for the food.

Absolutely amazing. Vocation has some of the best beers, and the burgers are amazing! Juicy, full of flavour and really filling!

Fabulous pub with lots of beers to suit everyone

This is more of a burger place to eat. Great burgers and loaded fries . Fantastic choice of beers 🍻

Fantastic bar in the centre of Hebden Bridge serving a full range of Vocation Ales and guest beers to. Space to sit outside with ample seating inside too. Tasty Burgers on offer as well.

Good pub with decent atmosphere and wide selection of beers and ciders.

My favourite Vocation bar. Great food and service every time. Can get really busy so avoid peak times.

Great real ale place for beer & food.Dogs are welcome which is slwsys s bonus Staff arr knowledgeable about the ales & are happy to advise.Great place to spend some time as a break from walking.

Nice place for a burger and a pint. Good service.

Both the beer and the food were excellent. We had the burgers, loaded fries and onion rings and enjoyed everything. The Vocation beers have something for everyone and very tasty.

Great bar with a wide selection of beers and a burger offering. Burgers were tasty. Sharing platters of fries feed 4, we had the mock duck hoi sin which were fab.

Had a lovely beer yesterday while sitting out in the sunshine

Excellent service, great food and beer. Highly recommended.

Amazing beer selection sorted by a lovely wine menu. Absolutely nothing to criticise other than it gets absolutely rammed busy on Saturdays, which is hardly their fault but you need to know.

Amazing burgers which were served super quick. Wide selection of beers too. Struggled to find somewhere decent to eat that was open in Hebden Bridge but really pleased we found this place.

Great range of Vocation cask and keg ales along with a stocked fridge of vocation cans. We didnt order food but fries and burgers looked great

Brilliant atmosphere and brilliant beer

Excellent , as always , regulars at Vocation and always a pleasure to spend time and dine there .

19/03/24: Swinton A Relief day out! Vocation: Brass Monkeys IPA 5%, Vocation: Naughty & Nice Chocolate Orange stout 5.5%, Vault City: Fizzy Watermelon Slices sour 4.1% 02/10/23: Team day out! Death by Mangoes sour 4% and Naughty & Nice Coconut 10% and U OK HON?: Pineapple Hot Honey sour 6.5%. 12/08/22: Hebden Bridge Ale Trail: Vocation are outstanding at brewing beer. When I say beer, I should state Craft Ales, Porters, Stouts, Sours and general Session Ales. They have catered and created something that everyone can find a favourite of. Part of our Hebden Bridge ale trail, it was our first stop and for me, probably one of the best places in Hebden Bridge. We didn't sample any food, although thr menu also looked impressive (burgers and fries). We drank Death by Cherries cherry sour, Life & Death Session IPA and Sunset Overdrive piña colada sour.

Delicious food. Love that every burger can be made vegetarian or vegan. The vegan duck fries are the best

Great bar with good drinks selection - spoilt for choice!

Great beer choice, fair prices, friendly staff and decent choice of food! Nice! 👍🏼

Great dog friendly place, good selection of drinks and food available.

Always great food, service and amazing beer

Great place. Lots of good choices for low and no alcohol (and alcoholic beers for those who want them!)

Drinks only. Lovely bar with quality local beer

Staff are all friendly and knowledgeable about the amazing range of beers. Excellent burgers too.

Fab selection of Vocation (and guest) beers and tasty burgers, with excellent, friendly service

Brilliant beer. Brilliant burgers. Great service. Great gluten free burger for a member of our group who was coeliac.

We've eaten A LOT of burgers in our time and this was quite possibly the best we've ever had. We both had the Smokin Bun - juicy, but not greasy and very tasty. And goes without saying, but the beer was great too 😀

Fantastic venue a must visit when in Hebden Bridge.

Great place to stop for an American style burger with loaded chips! Great beer and service at good prices too :)

Called in here New Years Day. Lovely setting, plenty of seating, great choice of beers (including sours), very friendly knowledgeable staff. As well as having a drink on site we bought some cans & new glasses to continue the joy of Vocation beer at home. We’ll visit again next time we’re in this area, but I’ll still continue to buy my Vocation beer via their web site too. (Didn’t order any food, as not ready to eat when we were there, but their menu looked very inviting)

Great place for a beer. Didn't eat but food looked great. Staff really helpful and it's also dog friendly.

Wonderful selection of beers, very good value 😁

Great selection of beers and ciders, possibly too many. Very knowledgeable staff. Really worth a visit.

Great beers and staff informative about different types on offer. Got quite busy and noisy so suits the younger ones. lovely bar and helpful friendly staff. I didn't eat this time but food looked good

Fab place. Great selection to choose from. Great lads behind the bar tonight. Chatty and willing to offer opinions and alternatives. Burgers were great (apparently). Thought it might've been busier, but good to get our gang sat together 👍. Shame we had to leave suddenly due to train cancellations 😞

Fantastic range of beers ,heaven for the beer hunter(me) 😜

Great place great choice of drink great staff

Superb selection of beer. Friendly knowledgeable staff.

My favourite place. Wonderful beer, the no duck loaded fries are delicious and it's even better now they've expanded. I just wish I could visit every day.

the burger and chips were tasty and more filling than they looked. plenty of choice of beer on draft and cask and staff were friendly. recommended

Lovely beer and food. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended

Lovely Beers and amazing food, Dog friendly too ❤️🐶

Small bar which seemed smaller as it was very busy

Superb! Just what you want in a brewery tap! Plenty of their beers on, plenty of people to serve them, and enough place to sit and enjoy them!

Very popular place for eating and drinking 🍻. The food 🍲 menu looked like an assortment of burgers and the beers is a huge list 📃. Very friendly atmosphere.

Our last visit was on Friday 15th September. We live in Hebden Bridge & love the ecletic mix of bars & restaurants. Vocation has an impresive selection of over twenty beers & has its place in the town, catering for the metropolitan recent arrivals discernible by their lack of any regional accent & slightly entiteled demeanor. The interior is a little on the minimalist side & not over comfortable & certainly not cosy. Having said that we visit on a regular basis to enjoy the beer & eavesdrop on the occasional pretencious conversation. My only real issue with the place is the surlyness of the staff, not all but in general, who act as though they are there under sufferance without any welcoming smile or gesture. This is easily remedied by a lead from the managment & once witnessed by the staff is infectious, it's not a big thing but would make the Vocation experience a whole lot more enjoyable.

Burgers were so good, we both had a Hans Solo and shared some chips. Food was fresh and full of flavour. Really enjoyed the food.

I do wish I’d not bothered. Came here last year and thought we’ll it’s busy it’s a decent place but no nothing has improved. Toilets never have loo roll yiu have to look for it. Bar staff look sour AF and actually the brewery beer selection is not all that. It’s just been picked up as a trend. Food is alright and it’s dog friendly

Popped in while we were in Hebden Bridge. Great selection of their own beers and some from other brewers. Food very nice and came quickly even though it was busy. Well worth a visit

Great food, fantastic selection of beers, friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Awesome place. Great atmosphere and menu. Beer selection 🤤 and food well worth a go.

A fantastic craft beer bar ,fantastic choice on tap and in cans bottles. The food is bloody delicious. I can't highly recommend visiting this great place soon.

Great beer and my burger was pretty dam good too. (Pint of life and death is top stuff)

A bustling bar. Great choice of beer, mostly brewed by themselves. Food served quickly. Varieties of burger and chips, but tasty.

Great venue with lots of interest to keep you amused, and satisfied.

Nice place. Lots of choice of beers. No really atmosphere as such bit like if costa did a pub. Staff were great .

Still a quality pub. And they've extended too. Loaded fries are still top-notch and ales in fine condition

Lovely beer and brilliant atmosphere

Superb beer. Clean, fresh interior design, and friendly, welcoming staff. Lovely hang out spot when wandering Hebden.

Lovely beer, great food! Overall just a lovely place to be. I’m obsessed with the cheeseburger fries so if you’re visiting be sure to try them! The portions are huge too! Dog friendly as well, that’s always a bonus!!

Great beer and good food. Definitely worth a visit and we will return.

Burgers were tiny compared to their Instagram pics. Cheesy chips were bland.

Excellent choice of Vocation as you would expect. Burgers and fries were also spot on. Couldnt fault any of it

We all enjoyed our beers in this tap room. Unfortunately we were near the table with the toddler smashing toys on the table repeatedly and lots of flies, there was no where else to sit! We didn’t get food so can’t comment. Beer was in great condition. Friendly bar staff too who had a little chat on.

Dog friendly place. Great selection of beers & ales which some can be bought to take out. Lovely place, lovely staff & a nice atmosphere. Food is tremendous, I had the cheeseburger & is one of the best I have had! Also a nice selection of wine too. Highly recommend just for the cheeseburger! Definitely go back.

Unfortunately I haven't got anything good to say about Slap & Pickle anymore... Used to enjoy eating at Vocation but the last couple of visits the burgers have gone down hill... There is no care taken in the creation of the food now... Dry, bland meat, soggy loaded fries... Its a real shame... Going to have to travel further afield for burgers now.

Love this place. Amazing choice of beers and really good burgers with plenty of Vegan choices. One of the best local brewery's I've ever found.

Beer was good. Service at the bar left a lot to be desired.
