The Bottomleys Arms — Restaurant in Calderdale

Father's day meal. Party of 7 people booked for 3pm. There was a Father's Day menu available 2 courses £18 or 3 courses £22.50.

3 of us wanted the steak and Stilton pie but was informed that all the pies had gone but we could have the filling with a pastry lid? Surely if they had filling and pastry they could have just made pies? Anyway changed our orders accordingly and I chose a roast pork Sunday dinner unfortunately I was disappointed as the Yorkshire pudding was undercooked, thick and doughy in places, and the roast potatoes and vegetables lukewarm.

Hubby chose the cheese and onion pie as his alternative option and said that it was a bit dry and ended up putting gravy on it!

Dad only wanted 1 course and chose a sticky chicken salad from the main menu, he was quite unhappy about the long wait as he waited for us to get our starters and I think the service was quite slow due to them being very busy. He enjoyed the meal and ate it all.

The starters were lovely spicy chicken wings x 2 and haddock goujons x 3.

2 people chose a dessert and these were delivered to the table very promptly and consumed quickly.

I normally really enjoy eating here and I recommended it to the family, but this time I was disappointed with not only the food but the service was a bit slow and we were rushed off of the table whilst still...

First time trying this pub - I'm from Leeds but staying in Clayton for the weekend looking after a friends dogs. Fancied pub tea and after having a look online I chose this place. Good variety of beer, ale, wine and soft drinks. I was sat at a table and given a menu and my drink brought over to me. It's quite a large menu but I chose the Chicken Fajitas with a portion of chips (I didn't know it came with a handful of chips already). It took longer to come out than your typical greene king / wetherspoon pubs, but that's because its fresh and made to order instead of microwaved, and they did have a large table too, so was glad I was accommodated as I was on my own. The fajita's came out sizzling, the portions were extremely generous especially for the price! They came with 3 torillas, 3 dips (Salsa, Garlic mayo and sour cream) all were lovely and the salsa was clearly homemade, as well as a basket of chips and salad garnish. Taste was incredible, I really enjoyed it and had some to bring home too. The staff were very friendly and attentive too. It's a great historic pub, clearly ran well and the food is very tasty. I will be travelling from Leeds to visit here again in the future...

We popped in on Sunday for the first time with the hopes of a table to which the lovely waitress found us one. We were greeted with a warm welcome and big smiles. We were so pleased that the full menu was available as well as the Sunday dinner! We both ordered the steak sandwich which came with cheese, onions and mushrooms. Went to order chips and onion rings extra but was told it was included in the price! The food came in a timely manner and wow! The plate was huge; big thick tiger baguette, home made chips and home made onion rings, salad and coleslaw. The steak was so soft, melt in the mouth, delicious! We were so full and had no intention of dessert until we saw the table next to us have theirs bought out! so we ordered sticky toffee pudding and chocolate brownie. Home made and huge portions again! 2 mains, 2 desserts, 2 pints and a coke for under £40 - bargain! Pleasurable experience from start to finish, the staff were so lovely which is wonderful to see. So glad we popped in on the hop because we will definitely be back! Thank...
