Gastro Pub popolari a Horsforth

Superb food, drinks and service. The vegan pie was so good!

The food was exceptional and the staff were friendly and chatty, making our evening very enjoyable. Will definitely be returning again soon.

We recently moved to a small hamlet behind Dacre Banks, and naturally, the Wellington Inn (or “Welly,” as we call it) became our local pub. From the moment you walk through the doors, you get a proper good Yorkshire pub feeling. The pub is split (to my knowledge) into four sections. To the left, you have the bar restaurant; behind that, the main restaurant; to the far right, the tap room; and I believe the accommodation is very far left/upstairs. I’ve been maybe 15 times since moving here and on two occasions to the tap room only for a drink with my good friend. The other times have been for meals in both the main and bar restaurants, either just with my partner or with two to three friends. The food, from starter to dessert (not forgetting the specials that regularly change), is quite possibly the best homely, hearty pub food I’ve had in my life! I have always been proud of the way I cook belly pork, but their belly pork puts mine to shame! There is a vast range of cold, hot, soft, and alcoholic drinks, but the Cruzcampo just hits the sweet spot for me! They also have local ales and IPAs available. Not forgetting the main element—the staff. Every single member of staff is more than happy to help, always with a smile on their face! It really does make a difference to your experience when the staff interact so well with their customers. The pub has a great atmosphere, and the acoustics are excellent—you can have a proper conversation at a normal volume without feeling like every word you say can be heard by all, and the same goes the other way. I don’t usually make a note of this, but I feel it’s important to mention that my partner and I are a same-sex couple, and the staff have always made us feel comfortable and welcome, with no judgment. We are very fortunate to call the Welly our local! Be warned: If cheesecake is on the specials menu, it won’t be there for long! 😋
