British, Modern Restaurants in Sowerby Bridge

1. The Lantern Room, Manor House Lindley British, Modern restaurant in Huddersfield The Manor House, 1 Lidget Street - HD3

Part of a Georgian-style hotel (originally built as an impressive pile for a local mill owner), this small (11 bedroom) hotel incorporates a restaurant, whose striking contemporary light fitting and bare-brick walls provide a modern contrast to the heritage associations of the period exterior. We didn’t receive quite enough reports on its 8-10 course tasting menus for £85 per person (there’s a simpler Sunday Lunch menu), but one reporter says this is an “excellent hotel restaurant with outstanding food” and it has a cut-above rating from the AA of three rosettes.

Well known as “a gorgeous getaway spot” ten minutes’ drive from Halifax, this old corn mill has served as a “warm and cosy” inn for more than a century, with a “lovely restaurant” that offers a “good range” of modern British dishes “cooked to a high standard” (available in either tasting or à la carte formats, plus sandwiches at lunchtime). There are 11 “beautiful rooms upstairs” for overnight stays.

3. Brook’s British, Modern restaurant in Brighouse 6 Bradford Rd - HD6

2024 Review: “An airy space with unusual dishes and great cooking” – this comfortable independent opposite the civic hall scored highly in this year’s annual diners’ poll. The focus is on small plates, some of them very original: who’s for ‘honey, soy and gochujang roast carrots, toasted sesame, with tahini satay’?

4. Three Acres British, Modern restaurant in Shelley Roydhouse - HD8

2023 Review: “A popular local staple for many years”, this posh and hugely successful pub has been run by the Truelove family since 1968 and – much extended over the years – is known for its “consistently good food and service, with a great atmosphere”. Supporters reckon it is currently “back on form and, though expensive, a great meal is guaranteed (potted shrimps and shellfish superb!)”. A contrary view is that “the dining room decor is in a time warp, with no hint of frivolity to brighten the dullness”, while the “surprisingly long menu could do with being edited”, and the dishes arrive in “generous portions, but lack finesse”.
