The Old White Lion Hotel, Haworth

We ate here 17th Sept 2010. We opted for a selection from the Table D'Hote menu and we were not disappointed. The service and the food were perfect. I would have no hesitation in recommending the restaurant to all my friends and family.

The Old Glen House, Baildon

We ate here on the 18th September and what a disappointment it was. Our reservation was for 8pm, we arrived at 7.45 and we were shown to our table. We were given a printed table d'hote menu that had had been altered by hand, prices crossed out and changed, etc. The menu on offer was VERY limited, so much so that even had we enjoyed the experience there would not have been much point in returning.

We had the crispy duck starter, well I seemed to have the lardons and my wife the crispy duck. The steak was very nice but half a dozen chip size pieces of what we think was sweet potato and a handful of lettuce do not an accompaniment make. No steak knife offered.

I suppose I should have complained at each stage when asked if all was alright, but I do not like to do so if things are merely poor rather than abysmal so I sent an email once I got home.

One other couple were so upset that they sent their main course back, it seems it was not what they ordered.

The other couple asked to speak to the chef/manager/owner but he was unavailable even though he had been in the bar not ten minutes earlier. If it had not been for the fact that we had a voucher for �50 (for which we paid �25) we would have thought the evening a disater.

The food and service did not in any way match the high standards the owner sets out on the venue's website and the menu did not have anything like the variety of the example on the site.
