Shibden Mill Inn

Absolutely superb. A night away with friends. Wish I'd known how big the lunch portion was, nearly overfilled myself before dinner! The evening meal in the restaurant was utterly superb, the flavours were incredible. Right up my street. Fabulous ambience. Rooms small but very comfortable. Staff extremely polite and friendly. The breakfast was one of the best I've ever had. Definitely the tastiest black pudding I've ever tasted.

Great business evening at the Shibden Mill Inn, where the food, wine, and service were all exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and well looked after. The evening got off to a slightly underwhelming start with the aperitif, which didn’t quite meet the standard of the rest of the experience. However, things quickly turned around with a selection of nibbles, including the freshly baked jalapeño bread was a standout. The spiral like roll was packed with flavour and the perfect balance of heat and softness. For the starters, the stone bass served with crispy chicken skin and Thai inspired butter sauce was absolutely stunning, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. The chateaubriand followed and it was delicious. The tenderness and quality of the meat is just amazing. Paired with well executed sides and sauce made it a delicious and satisfying dish. All in all, it was a thoroughly enjoyable evening with fantastic food and a warm, relaxed atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back.

It was our 3rd time to Shibden mill inn for a meal last night and it never disappoints. The most wonderful food, always something different and superb fine dining, beautifully presented and so many exquisite tastes. Staff are lovely too and provide exceptional service. We also love the fact that no one rushes you, the perfect balance of being attentive but leaving you alone to enjoy your meal and relax. We’ll be back again and again! Thank you

The food here is exceptionally good. It’s classic gastropub fare, but made with high-quality ingredients and cooked perfectly. Beautifully presented too, with great service and a lovely atmosphere. I didn’t love the vibe upstairs—it felt a bit flat—so I’d recommend asking for a table downstairs to enjoy the open fire, the beautiful architecture, and the buzz.

We had an amazing meal here. This inn has a cozy and historic atmosphere with real fires, stone floors and wood panelling etc. The menu feels like somewhere between fine dining and gastro pub, really interesting and inventive with lots of different elements to the dishes. Everything fresh, seasonal and very well cooked. Service was professional,warm and attentive. If you’re on a budget this might not be your first choice, our bill came to just short of £400 for four of us, three courses with drinks, wine and a few cocktails. Worth it for the quality though. You can pick up a free guide from the inn for some very nice circular walks in the Shibden valley, a great way to work up an appetite before your meal!
