About the restaurant

The Hawthorn is a Georgian gem in the heart of Haworth, packed full of period features offering a relaxed environment to unwind with friends and family. This warm and appealing gastropub has been renovated throughout to showcase an array of local antiques including a stunning array of Barraclough clocks, homage to John Barraclough himself, Clockmaker to the Brontes, who used to live in this very building in the Georgian era.

We serve only food made using the freshest seasonal British produce and our menu changes through the weeks to reflect this.

We have a custom-made Josper charcoal grill which is the hottest indoor grill available and used by the best restaurants in the country. Cooking on the Josper ensures none of the natural moisture or flavour escapes from the food, whilst at the same time adding the distinct chargrilled taste.

My wife wanted to go there and it was okay . Food portions were so small if we compare it to other restaurants. They charged us 160 quid for 2 people but I feel they could do better with wagyu and lamb rolls . Chicken steak was small but nice . Mocktails were good as well . 3.5/5 for me as they are offering smaller portions but charging to much for them .
