Very accommodating! no tables left in the restaurant but they didn't just shun us away they gave us an option to see if any came available. A kind couple made us welcome by giving up there table! and service at the bar was quick and easy. Brilliant staff very nice food and atmosphere friendly locals and dog friendly!

Promptly taken to our table and asked about allergies etc. Then drinks ordered taken.
When we had given our food order was advised that could be 20-25 minutes wait for food as they had a large party in. This wasn't a problem for us. Food arrived my partner's vegetables were cold as was the pot of gravy ( steak and ale pie. I had the mixed Grill, pork chop was dry but apart from that was good. Both had sticky toffee pudding and custard, again custard in little jug was practically cold. Would go again but not rush back

During our visit from Canada, we decided to take in the wonderful village of Haworth. At the bottom of the street we found this little gem of a pub. We got a lovely warm welcome and we enjoyed our stay. We didn't eat because they were fully booked but we enjoyed the beer and banter of a great English country pub. Definitely recommend a visit. As a bonus, they serve Hawkstone beer. Very happy.@Hawkstone

I’m saddened to say it was simply awful. Service hit and miss for drink orders, table of 8 split into to 4s. Worst part was the food, inedible lasagne and a sirloin featuring the worst cut of meat ever experienced. Sadly will not be returning or recommending

Not a great experience this time. There was an over reaction from the landlord following a minor incident involving our.dog. Instead of asking us what actually happened he relied entirely on the account presented to him by the customer.whose shoe our dog had briefly attached himself to. A matter of seconds with no damage to person or shoe. Whilst I accept that our dog's behaviour was out of order (he is a rescue dog that we have just taken on) the customer and the landlord completely over reacted. We won't be visiting again and neither will.any of our friends.

On the 3rd Jan 2024 we stopped at Haworth Old Hall for lunch because we were starving, and it was the first place we saw.
The food was… creative. My partner’s chicken curry tasted suspiciously like a microwave meal, and the chicken and mushroom pie my nephew and I ordered had a soggy crust and clumpy filling. The mashed potatoes and gravy were lumpy (for texture, perhaps?)
The waitresses were really lovely throughout, could not fault one bit of their customer service. They did ask us if we enjoyed our meals, even though we did not - we are always too polite to say the truth.
Later, at 6 PM, we thought we’d give the place another shot with drinks. The bartender, who might have had a few himself, aggressively demanded ID from my 29-year-old partner, shouting “No ID, no alcohol!” when we asked for a shandy for my 16-year-old nephew lol, he sure had a lot of energy to spare on sober polite customers.
Fair enough, rules are rules. But when we let the nephew taste a sip of my Baileys and Tia Maria, the bartender stormed over and shouted, “We will have to throw you out if any underage drinking is happening here!” A calm and reasonable response, of course.
Threatening to throw us out was likely an overreaction. While he was correct to prevent the 16-year-old from consuming alcohol, the manner of enforcement seemed wildly disproportionate given it was just a taste of my drink and we spoke to every member of staff with utmost respect and dignity the entire time, including the said possibly intoxicated bartender man.
Reasonable Handling Would Have Involved:
1. Politely explaining the legal restrictions
2. Describing the curious 16 year old what it tastes like, to humour him and to not embarrass his adult companions
3. Providing a non-alcoholic alternative
Why the Threat Was Unnecessary:
1. A single sip of Baileys is not a serious legal violation, reasonably as it is not worth the fine we were very OBVIOUSLY not looking for trouble
2. The possibly intoxicated bartender should maybe undergo some training on how to deal with polite customers politely, tactful handling would have actually impressed us (we understand that energy is perhaps necessary on drunk wild customers) man was about to explode with temper issues
3. Threatening immediate removal creates an unnecessarily hostile environment, enforcement should be professional and proportionate. Most reputable establishments would handle such a situation with more discretion and communication
We felt watched the next 10 mins, what to say to such lovely customer service? A whopping two out of five star experience!
Haworth Old Hall is perfect if you’re craving average food and embarrassing drunk bartender.
Otherwise, keep walking.

Me, my partner and nephew visited for food early on in the day. They both had the chicken and mushroom pie. It wasn’t amazing. Probably better than the Tikka masala that I chose which tasted like microwaved food. The young waitresses were lovely.
We went back later in the day around 6pm just for a drink as we were waiting to be picked up from howarth. As we returned, there was an arrogant middle aged chubby lad behind the bar. Who id’d us before even saying hello. I politely asked if my nephew could have a shandy as he is only 16. Which you’d think would be fine under supervision! After he said no which was fine by us we sat down with our drinks my nephew asked if he could have a small taste of my partners baileys. And that was it. He stormed over like a 5ft5 storm trooper and said if he has another sip he would kick us out. We just stared in shock for a couple of seconds. It was clear the other staff felt embarrassed with how he acted towards us.
Hopefully the manager/bar tender was just having a bad day and won’t be like that with other nice customers who visit Howarth.

Unfortunately we are unable to recommend this establishment due to the Manner & attitude of the staff. We had a pub grub meal, chicken & mushroom pie, fish & chips with wine. Upon paying for the meal £55.50 the waitress advised that we select the relevant option on the card machine, which was to select tips or No tip, I selected No tip, however the card machine proceeded to charge a further 20% £11:10 equating to £66.60 . I raised concerns to the waitress that I had selected no tip, she raised this with a male/ manager. He advised that the overpayment could Not be refunded to my card for 10 days!!! The male was extremely rude & dismissive towards us and made us feel very uncomfortable. His behaviour was a direct reflection of him & Marstons and not of ourselves! We will be making a formal complaint to Marstons.
Your response below does not reflect what actually happened, just to confirm, we were asked if everything was ok with our meal, we said yes(don’t recall calling it great) I selected the no tip on the card machine however was charged a further £11.10, when ‘I’ highlighted the overpayment there was no apology, no customer service skills applied and it was quite clear that the incident was an inconvenience to you & staff members! Unfortunately I cannot award any higher than a one star due our experience on the day and upon reading your response only confirms my review! we were not rude to any of the staff members, the male/manager’s manner & attitude was rude & dismissive to ourselves. Your response to my review is factually incorrect and only confirms that your conduct towards ourselves as paying customers on that day is a direct reflection on yourself & Marstons!

A pleasant pub with a lovely atmosphere and great service. However, we felt that the price of the wine and the price of the main course food didn't reflect the quality that we expected or experienced, leaving us disappointed after an average meal at best. I hope this feedback helps improve the quality of food & drink, as it really is a nice venue.

A beautiful place and lovely staff. However many items were off the menu due to food shortages and our food took an hour to arrive. The food didn't arrive at the same time so one of our party had nearly finished when mine arrived.

We had our Christmas dinner there this year 2024 it was the best Christmas dinner that me and my partner has ever had. I would recommend this place to anyone for food any time of the year., The server called Kirsten was excellent made our day she should be working for a Michelin star restaurant.
Thank you team old inn

We have booked for Christmas Day as staying in Haworth and got a £10 off voucher for doing so and decided to use it to help celebrate my wife's birthday.
An old historic property with plenty of character. A warm welcome and the young lady who served us was excellent. Friendly and professional a real credit to you.
Even said sorry to disturb you when asking if everything was ok. Also allowed us to actually have tried the food before doing so.
The food was excellent, well cooked and plenty of it.
Whilst you were busy service was very good. My £10 discount went straight back on as a tip.
