A very friendly server came directly to our table and took orders for drinks and food. We ordered the prawn & sourdough starter and fish pie entree to share, which was plenty for two people, and we enjoyed the sticky toffee pudding with a scoop of ice cream for dessert. Everything was very well prepared and filling. The place had great ambiance: its a welcoming local pub featuring a variety of seating, great Timothy Taylor ale on draft, Haworth-themed art and decor, and friendly patrons and employees -- it's an overall an excellent place to pass an evening.

We reserved a table online, and when we arrived there was a small table set up in one of the side rooms by the fireplace. Our server was lovely-- asked about allergies, checked on us often (but not too often), answered questions as needed, etc. We shared two entrees and a dessert and it was plenty. The steak pie was particularly good, and perfect with the pours of cask ales. It is fun to dine in a historic pub that also has good service and modern comforts.

I really liked this pub which has a substantial garden (a comparative rarity in the north,…read moreupsettingly) and a very good menu of above average dishes including some lovely starters (dressed crab, pate) and a broad range of mains including traditional options such as a Yorkshire board and pie and more modern choices such as a sweet potato risotto. My friends commented that the ham on the Yorkshire board was the best they'd had in a long time; I thought their Wensleydale was the best I'd ever had. When we were there they were hosting a Fentimans sponsored gin festival, which added to the fun. The only thing that marred the experience was that they messed up our food order so mine never came and in the end I had to go back into the pub and enquire, which itself took about 10 minutes to sort. They'd delivered the food to the wrong table so basically my friends had all finished before I got mine, bizarre mix up given our server really should have noticed that she'd only given 3 people food. Wouldn't put me off going back or recommending though, as it was really good quality food, especially the Yorkshire board. Note the main courses are mainly over £10 so look for the sandwiches if you're on a budget.

Everybody was fairly friendly, the bar staff and bar manager (who doubled as the DJ) were welcoming and the drinks weren't overly pricey, especially considering how touristy Haworth is. A lot of fun is to be had if you don't take yourself too seriously.

We spent a couple of days in Brontë Country, and on looking online, one of the most popular and…read morehighly rated places to eat in the area is The Grouse Inn. I mention this because it's quite an achievement to earn that, as so many of the places to eat in and around Keighley and Haworth offer wonderful food. The most striking thing about The Grouse as you enter the car park is the breathtaking views it has across the moors! A good 180 degree view of pure natural beauty, with a classic British food pub in the centre. Marvellous. The place itself as you walk in has that fantastic feel and decoration of the classic Northern English pub, with warm colours, a slate floored bar, a classic busy pub carpet, and dark wood furniture. Also good nods to the countryside element with taxidermy deer heads (and duck heads!), foxes, and artwork of the moors. It feels warm, friendly, and welcoming. As we're seated, again we are treated to that amazing view from any window you look out of. Truly the most amazing view I've had with my dinner in this country! The service is welcoming and friendly, menus are handed out with smiles and genuine interest in the customer. The menu itself is modern in design, but boasts some truly wonderful classic British foods, from liver and onions and fish and chips to sausage and mash and cottage pie, as well as other staple choices like pizza, pasta, steak, and salads. We decided not to have a starter... we've learned the hard way before that if we have a starter in this sort of place we won't have room for pudding... not this time! So for our mains, I ordered the trio of classic home-made sausages with mashed potatoes, gravy, and peas, and my partner ordered from the specials board, and went for the steak wellington with Stilton and pate. Here is where I gush. The food was absolutely phenomenal! Delicious home-made food, fresh, rich, and bursting with flavours. The sausages were rich and juicy, the mashed potatoes was creamy and so very comforting, the steak wellington was an explosion of flavours, and we both agreed the gravy was the real deal, and absolutely sublime. We had room for dessert. The dessert menu (given to us as the "pudding menu" as it should be!), was extremely tempting, and after a while deliberating over what to have, and changing our minds four or five times, we opted for that British pub classic... sticky toffee pudding with toffee sauce and ice cream. THIS is what should win The Grouse awards. My partner, Phil orders sticky toffee pudding whenever the opportunity arises, but actually stated that this is one of the best sticky toffee puddings he's ever had in his life; hot, rich, gooey and comforting. On the way home the following day, he was genuinely mulling over the idea of popping back into The Grouse JUST for that sticky toffee pudding on the way home! The service was great, the views and decor were wonderful, and the food was absolutely fantastic. We will most definitely be returning to The Grouse, even if we're not in the area... it's only 57 minutes away... we checked! Well done, The Grouse! See you again soon! :)

It is about a 15 minutes walk from the center of Haworth, and it is actually haunted! The bartender told us it is haunted by a dog, which is pretty cool :) apparently it was only called Wuthering Heights a few years ago, it used to be named something else. But it is extremely apropos as it is only a 10 minutes walk (or less) onto the moors near where the Bronte sisters lived. And it's a nice stop after a long hike! It seemed at least when we were there, that it was a common hang out for locals and regulars, and everyone knew each other. They were also EXTREMELY friendly and nice to chat with :) This pub definitely fits in with the whole atmosphere of the moors, and seems to hold so much history in the building itself! They weren't serving food the day we were there, I'm not sure which day it was, but I THINK they usually do serve food or perhaps only on weekends. They also have a solid selection of ales! All in all, there isn't anything particular about this pub/inn that makes it related to the novel, except that it is named after it. However, just catching a drink there and knowing that it's haunted really brings the atmosphere alive :D
