Old Silent Inn - Keighley

Mandy M.

My partner and I visited the Old Silent Inn for their Valentine special. The food was fantastic, we chose a starter of Tarragon goats cheese risotto cake with a pear puree. The crispy outer complimented the soft inner, it was a lovely unusual starter. For mains we chose pan fried fillet steak, this was just so tender it was like a knife through butter, and it was well done, the shoestring potatoes were quirky, soft and very flavoursome, the sauce was red wine oyster sauce, it was tasty! Dessert was chocolate mousse which was so soft, chocolate truffles on top and a big sweet strawberry. The service was first class, the young man who was running the show that night was so pleasant, he couldn't do enough for us. The food was amazing, the chef is excellent. We are already planning a Sunday dinner there very soon.

Great pub, we went on a freezing winter day with a foot of snow either side of the road. The pub was open, welcoming and served us good food. Open fire in the hearth and a lovely old building, what more could you ask for.

The food is good, standard pub dishes, but it was all very nice. Better than we had expected from the rating on here. Decent sized portions too. Recommend the mixed grill.

Really, really friendly and helpful. Everyone we met made sure we had a fantastic experience and our dog was especially well looked after - always the priority! For a building that's over 400 yrs old, there was no issue with modern facilities. Very impressed with power of the shower

I stayed here for a week whilst on business, recently. Mark, Donna and their staff are lovely and couldn't do enough to help.
The room was clean and tidy, the bed incredibly comfortable. This pub has an excellent selection of real ales, beers and lagers that will suit all tastes. The chef is a star, the food excellent. I can heartily recommend Pie and Pint Night!
There is plenty of parking, too. The only downside was I couldn't get out with my walking boots and a map.
I've given five stars all round as it fully deserves top marks. Excellent value for money and in an enviable position.
Thank you everyone.

We stayed for two nights in May. The food in the restaurant was delicious. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. A very enjoyable weekend. I would go again.

Visited here for the first time with my family, we eat out much weekends and try find country pubs, stumbled across this and thought it looked lovely so booked in. Hands down the worst pub meal I've had in a very long time, if not ever. The young lad waiter was lovely. We asked at the beginning if there was anything on the menu they didn't have, he said yes let me check...came back and said no mixed grill..fine. so we all ordered, I ordered steak and ale pie, he came back a few minutes later and said there was no steak and ale pies! Fine. Changed to roast beef dinner. I never complain in a pub, it has to be really really bad for me to bother saying anything but it came out and it had honestly been microwaved, half of it was cold and half really hot. The beef.....worst beef I've ever had I cant actually believe he served it, couldn't cut it, so much fat, stringy, I think I managed to salvage 2 edible mouthfuls. That along with with cold veg. It was honestly disgusting. I told the lad and showed him the beef..he looked to agree and said he would tell the chef. He came back and said the chef was really sorry. And they knocked a drink off our bill? A drink? I barely ate anything and what I did eat was cold!! My husbands meal was cold but he ate it. Others had chicken breast and garlic mushrooms and they said it was OK. They asked if we wanted deserts, in which i said yes as I'm starving still! They had no chocolate fudge cakes or chocolate tarts, which is what I wanted so didn't bother. My Nana had her favourite sticky toffee pudding which she has everytime we go out. She had a mouthful and said oh that's awful, it's like rubber, we all had a bite, I cant believe you can get a sticky toffee pudding wrong! He must have microwaved it too long it was solid rubber, no cake texture, no treacle, it was awful. We had to laugh at this point that it was just a write off meal. We didn't eat the sticky toffee pudding and we didn't complain because we were past it. We actually paid the full bill price too minus the drink they knocked off. We couldn't be bothered making a fuss. We were the only ones in the whole pub, and for a Sunday at 4pm...I think that says it all. Avoid here for a meal you will be highly dissapointed. Nice enough staff but awful food.

Lovely food, great service, toilets immaculate. It was cold though and fire wasn't doing anything to warm us. However it was just after lunchtime and only several people there.

Just had a lovely meal here, £15 for a burger and a pint on a Monday and the burgers and chips were delicious all homemade by the taste of it too. Staff were lovely, made us feel welcome and our dog got water and treats too!
