called yesterday for lunch after a lovely 5mile walk from mytholmroyd along the canal been reccomended by friends seated quickly love the table service buttons we both ordered skepasti so tasty and filling really good great staff Price per person: £10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4
The ploughman's and pie with peas were really delicious and beautifully presented. Great idea to have the bell on the table to get the waiters attention. The bad - I ordered a side of lemon potatoes - v small and 5.95. Totally crazy. The menu is on the steeper side. The pie should come with chips included in the price. Lpts to choice from but not much variety...and very little choice for vegetarian and very little for vegans. Service is as non descript as most places these days - waiter/resses can't be bothered, seem entitled, do the minimum, no repartie. Kindness Cafe across the road I MUCH prefer - they're gorgeous and the food is lovely too, good cause. Sorry Honest John - your food is good but do better with everything else! Price per person: £10–20 Food: 4 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 3 Recommended dishes: Ploughman's Lunch Vegetarian options: Halmoumi and salad are the main veggie options. Very few (if any?) vegan options

Thank you for your review. I don't think you took enough time to read our menu. I've just counted 14 vegan options plus 4 vegan breakfast options. Chips are an optional extra for the pie and peas simply because not everyone wants chips. Of course, to some, our food may appear pricey, but we do employ and pay fully Qualified Chefs and Professional Staff with hygiene qualifications. We don't rely on volunteers nor do we crowdfund. We are also open 7 days a week from 10am. Kind regards.
