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.

Having visited the Shibden Mill inn for a number of year the weekend before Christmas we are excited to attend again. Unfortunately this years experience was somewhat disappointing, the starter cod Croquette was cold in the middle. Our mains arrived, my turkey was curled up and crispy on the edges. This was replaced. The replacement was not much better. 2 wafer thin slices of turkey, day old roast potatoes. Photos are available. We complained to the waiters only to be told “they are cooking for over 100 people today” must be too many. A gesture of £5 was deducted from the bill. This does not come close to a good will gesture based on the standard of food received. A toby carvery would have been so much better.

My husband and I enjoyed an excellent Christmas lunch here today. It wasn't too noisy, despite some large groups there. The serving staff were friendly and helpful and the food was top class. The rooms were nicely decorated with muted colours for Christmas (nothing garish.) It was altogether a super experience.

This was my first visit to Shibden Mill Inn based on recommendation. Overall the food, service and ambiance were good but I wasn’t wowed. I would return at another time in the year to try something different to the festive menu - after all there’s only so much you can do with Turkey and Christmas pud. The dishes were well presented and the pub had a cosy warm Christmas feeling. Service was efficient but lacked personality I said ‘I’ll have a cocktail to start as it’s my birthday’, and the waitress replied ‘okay’ which showed a lack of interest. It was fairly busy but the waiting staff didn’t seem stressed, it was a relaxing atmosphere. Overall we had a lovely evening, but for the price I expected the food to be the real star of the show. We appreciated the wine pairing suggestions and loved the wines we drank. Thank you.
