Absolutely delicious breakfast. My partner had the full English & I enjoyed the mini breakfast, where you can choose 4 items from the full breakfasts. Both our breakfasts came with tea and toast, with an option for coffee instead if wanted. It's not often I clean my plate, but I absolutely demolished my breakfast! My husband is particular about sausages, but the ones served here were local farm sausage and were very tasty. Reasonable prices, particularly for the Hebden Bridge area. Dogs friendly, so our dog enjoyed a nice sit down as we ate. Environment clean and fresh, great service. 5 star all round! 🌟

What a lovely place to eat. The food was delicious, my jacket potato cooked to order and my friends sandwich was made when ordered with lovely genuine home made relish. Our tea came with a pot of boiling water to top up our tea pots. And the prices were very reasonable. Would recommend 100%.

What a delightful experience we had at the Watergate tea rooms We have been coming to hebden bridge for many years and today as we walked past we both thought let's go in I'm so glad we did. We ordered two full English which came perfectly presented not swimming in oil like lots of places The food was delicious we really really enjoyed it to be fair I didn't think at first it would be different to any other cafe here but I was completely wrong so if ever you happen to wander into hebden bridge call here for some coffee & food because it's a little gem of a place 😀

Right next to the car park and the river. The staff were wonderful and made a fantastic breakfast! The sausage were amazing as was the bacon and the rest! £35 for 4 people is pretty good value!! Lovely Yorkshire tea! Can’t wait to go back! Great job 👏

Very nice coffee shop with indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoor seating out the back near to the river. Service is a bit slow but staff are very well organised from a Covid point of view. They take your details, wear masks and thoroughly clean tables after use. Food was well prepared. Toilets inside upstairs were very clean.
