  “Food was of excellent quality, service was quick and efficient and atmosphere was calm and relaxed. We highly recommend the sticky sharing platter, pork belly and haddock fish cakes. The service from April was speedy and professional, definitely felt well looked after.”

  “Gorgeous food, very tasty, sadly the portions are very small. Ordered a Sunday roast, and got 1 small Yorkshire pudding and the equivalent of one potato cut into small quarters and a small amount meat, and a very small container of gravy (I chose not to have the other veg). Still hungry after eating 😥”

  “The location is amazing of course, backed up by the service, polite staff & food. Came here as we saw it in the background on the Leeds United new kit promo video. Plenty of seating.”

  “The food was delicious. Compliments to the chef. But front if house need some training. They forgot to order one of our starters, and brought the other to the table. I had to request that the other be taken back and served when both were ready, as opposed to them thinking for themselves. Then whilst eating the starters, they came out with the mains, which naturally had to be taken back. I don't imagine the chef was any happier than us. Especially with how beautifully presented, and delicious the food was.”

  “Really lovely place. The atmosphere and service were spot on. The staff were lovely and very efficient. We went for Sunday Dinners, we have been on the hunt for the best Sunday dinners around and while this place did not get our top spots it was very nice. I had the beef which was really nice. My chap had pork with was lovely and very tender. My mum had the Turkey which tbh was Turkey. She does prefer Chicken but it wasn't on the menu. The roasties were lovely as were the yorkies and gravy which we were given more of when we requested it. The extra sides of mash and stuffing were VERY small portions but nice. The cauliflower cheese was a good size portion but not very cheesy. Overall though a good Sunday Roast for a chain pub.”

  “A very good PubCo pub. Food was of excellent quality for what it was, the waitresses who served us were both friendly and chatty, and the views from the front beer garden are quite something! Definitely worth a visit when you're out and about on Ilkley Moor, and Dog friendly too which is a big plus”

  “Really enjoyed our visit here today. Lovely pub inside, just like other vintage inns. It was busy when we arrived at 2pm for our booking. Our orders were taken pretty quickly. The food wasn't quick to come out, however it was worth it when it did, taste and presentation were both excellent. We all enjoyed our meals. There was nothing left on any plates from all five of us. Desserts came a lot quicker as it wasn't as busy then. I can particularly recommend the sea bass, salmon fishcakes and the pavlova looked lovely. Easy access through front door for anyone with limited mobility and disabled toilet was easily accessible. Outside seating area was lovely. The views are spectacular both from inside and outside. We will definitely be coming back.”

  “Absolutely fantastic 💖 Emma and I chose this hotel to celebrate our anniversary and we are so pleased we did. We had a fabulous time in the superbly decorated and designed oldy worldy hotel/pub but what made us feel warm cosy and welcome were the amazing staff who went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect in every way So A HUGE shout out to Charlotte, Izzie, Isaac, Ellie and Nick who all deserve a massive well done for everything they did. Nothing was too much bother and we will definitely be back. You make The Cow and Calf what it is and its you we will come back for not the bricks and mortar. The food was also fantastic, well presented and delicious. Plenty to eat, good portions and certainly empty plates after. Breakfast was also superb and enough to eat so that you only needed a snack for lunch Well done to everyome, thank you so much 5 big stars from us ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What it says online....... In 1844, the country's first hydropathic hotel, The Benrhydding was built on the site of The Cow and Calf. In 1873 the building became a private residence called Highfield House, then in 1949 it became a boarding house. When visiting The Cow and Calf, look out for great views across Wharfedale and historic features, like the old Victorian well that still sits in the grounds. Our menus are full of hearty favourites and country pub classics, as well as our seasonal dishes, and we’ll be ready with a well-stocked bar, including cask ales, fine wines and British gin to suit very taste - which will taste all the better when enjoyed either in our beautiful gardens or by our crackling log fires.”
