About this restaurant

Charming
Good for special occasions
Great for fine wines

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.

We live thus place. Service is exceptional wine choice brilliant we had two bottles of la Onderre A Roman wine. All the food was very good but now there seems a much smaller choice and much less exciting than it used to be. We’ll keep going as it’s a great walk there from Shibden hall. Hoping the menu will pick up

One of the best restaurants in Yorkshire if not beyond - first class friendly service, backed up with incredible food in a stunning location. What more could you want?

A nice time. Good service, good food. I did send my dessert back as it was very dry which felt awkward to do. Thankfully the chef saw that it was indeed dry and not at all as intended so I was refunded this. The other dessert at the table was good but not exceptional. I suspect we'd have enjoyed the starters more, they sounded delicious! I'd be very glad to go again, still heartily enjoyed.
