The Winterburn — Restaurant in Calderdale

It’s a shame that I feel I have to write this review but I can’t believe that a person can go into an establishment that is supposed to welcome the public but find the managers have absolutely no personality whatsoever. I’m a local person and use this pub regularly and also the pub around the corner. The food here I’m told is really good but I’m yet to try it as there is absolutely no welcome.

We have stopped off for a pint during our hike with the dogs over the Easter Weekend. The staff were super attentive and really welcoming to us and our fur babies 🐾 so we decided to book and have dinner the following evening. We were told we could bring the dogs as well into the bar area for dinner and they can have a doggy dinner! We'll this obviously went down well with not just us but BOTH dogs 😋 .... if I am honest I would of even the doggy dinner myself it looked that good. Myself and my partner had the Sunday Roast ourselves and it did not disappoint! So tasty and delicious Gravy! Hats off to the chef and of course the amazing staff! We will be back! It's not our local area but we house swap with my sister so this will certainly become our regular when visiting! Well worth a visit!...
