Having always been at the heart of Valley life, the 17th century Shibden Mill Inn was originally a corn and spinning mill, before being converted into a country pub in 1890.

Today’s visitors are welcomed with warm hospitality to enjoy first class dining against an inviting backdrop of open fires, low beamed ceilings and a cosy bar. Eleven individually styled bedrooms make comfortable and luxurious retreats, epitomising boutique country style and featuring lots of thoughtful touches.

And if you can drag yourself away from the Inn, there are wonderful walks from the doorstep and world class attractions within easy reach. For a spot of retail therapy or a cultural fix, Halifax is a 10-minute drive and Leeds is just 30 minutes away.

    This wasn’t our first time at Shibden Mill, it’s usually one of our favourite places. Today changed that! We were sat on a table of two in the corner of the bar room which when seated wasn’t a great start as it was extremely loud due to a group of men sat drinking at the bar, this carried on through the whole meal. We ordered drinks and then food, the bread and butters were 10/10 could not fault them at all. The starters arrived not long after the bread, the cod croquette was just like a really big fish cake which wasn’t overly nice so my other half ate the rest, his trout dish was really tasty. A girl then brought the mains, a separate girl came over and said she would bring the veg which she did, she put them down on the table saying nothing then walked away. Through out the whole meal no one asked if everything was ok, if we needed anything, if we needed any more drinks. We were just out in the corner and forgotten about. We had to collar someone to order another drink and then also to bring extra gravy. Staff would come into the bar area and congregate around the till then disappear. Hospitality was none existent for us. A while after we were seated there was a table of 4 seated next to us. They were asked a few times if evening was ok, when their mains arrived they were asked if they needed anything, they had extra gravy brought out with their veg and even asked if they would like any sauce. We felt completely neglected by the team today which isn’t the usual standard for Shibden. We have ate here quite a few times and today has put me off returning! If I could of removed the service charge from the bill I would have. We were planning on having dessert but after the extremely poor and ignorant hospitality we just got the bill and left. Shibden Mill do better!!

    The food and service at the Shibden Mill Inn remains excellent. The Christmas menu contains the traditional dishes with some interesting twists on that available. We are irregular regulars as we no longer live locally though when visiting it is our go to GastroPub.

    Great food. Great service and fabulous ambience. More non alcoholic substitutes would have added the finishing touch.

    Lovely Christmas meal with two friends at Shibden Mill. Our first time there and we were very impressed with the food, the service and the atmosphere - very The Holiday Christmas film vibes.

    Very hearty food. The slab of ham in a cheese and egg sauce feeds you for the day when taken with the house bread. And that's a starter! The salt cod croquta is a fishcake they should call it that. Staff are focussed on their jobs but brighten up as soon as you ask for anything. Cask ale is good but there's a couple of vocation kegs on too. Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu, perhaps the lighter dishes so I can have more.
