We went here for an early lunch before setting off on a walk on the moor. We had the soup of the day and a pie--both were delicious. Staff were really attentive and atmosphere was nice and relaxed. We will definitely visit again when planning walks in the area. It was a bit colder when we visited but on a nice day there is great outdoor seating with a view of the valley below.
Such a find! We wandered in to The Hermit on a Saturday afternoon after a winter’s walk. It is a warm and welcoming pub with fantastic food.
We had beef soup which was hearty and a meal in itself; it was served with two big toasted slices of Leeds Bread Co sourdough and creamy butter. We also had the smash burger and ordered it on the sourdough rather than the brioche bun and with vegan cheese to accommodate a milk allergy. The burger was the best we have had in years! Amazingly delicious and served with coleslaw, a great mixed salad and crispy chips made exactly as we requested.
Table service at a pub made the Hermit Inn even more desirable. George and his lovely staff were friendly and accommodating.
We will returned for our last meal before relocating from West Yorkshire on Tuesday 13/02/24. It was the perfect choice! Excellent service from Bella and exceptionally good food, beer and wine made the evening a perfect good-bye to the area.
We were driving past and noticed it was a Free House so decided to stop for a quick bite to eat. The staff were very friendly and efficient. We chose a light lunch - husband had a mushroom and tarragon soup and I had potato and leek soup. Both delicious and served with sourdough bread. The menu and the food that was being served looked very good. If we had not already booked a table elsewhere that evening we would have gone back for dinner. Also a good selection of ales. Upper terrace has stunning views.
Went with my wife on Saturday after a lovely walk. Service was impeccable, food came quickly, was piping hot and delicious. We both had the Korean chicken burger. The other food we saw coming out looked great too. Would 100% recommend. Other pubs could learn a thing or two from this place.
Lovely place. We had soup and meatballs. I’m vegetarian and choices are limited, nearly gave 4 stars as it’s a common problem, but soup was gorgeous and I’d definitely come again. Pies look good, veggie option would have been amazing. I did ask and apparently work is going on in the background to develop a vegan pie.
I’ll try the yoga bowl next time if veggie pies aren’t available 😄
Staff really friendly.
We sat outside, lovely outside space and lovely dogs and people to say hello to.
Great food, great service, great atmosphere and great wine. Can’t recommend the hermit enough. Well worth a visit if you’re in the area. The roast beef was fabulous but don’t miss out on the starters and the brownie for dessert!!
We went to the Hermit for Sunday lunch with friends. We had one Roast Beef and 3 of the Porchetta (as recommended to us) they were all incredible. Really good quality meat and you could tell it was all prepared fresh. We had two little ones with us and the staff were all brilliant with them bringing us side plates etc.
The desserts were out of this world! Would highly recommend the Brownie - the best I’ve ever eaten.
Special community owned pub, magnificent outdoors views across lower Wharfedale and to the Chevin and a warm indoor vibe where service is attentive but not intrusive by a young local crew. Great authentic Yorkshire pub fare, a wide beer/lager/ale selection and wine too. Family and dog friendly to boot, including muddy ones if you come off a well earned walk on the moor. Well worth the hike or a detour in the car if you're in the area.
Excellent food, great portion sizes and lovely atmosphere. Visited whilst the rugby was on and it didn't completely eclipse the pub which was lovely 🤗 Very dog friendly. Would definitely visit again!
Great dining experience. If I had to say anything my daughter had the sausage and mash very good in the eyes of an adult but like a number of local places, possibly too good. I dont know about other peoples children but at the moment mines going through the stage of plain pork sausages unfortunately not anything like Cumberland sausages or just something like chicken nuggets would suffice.
