Lovely service and waitresses, made such an effort to make us feel welcome and enjoy our time there. Food was excellent, with good portion sizes especially the Tomahawks! Highly recommend!

We dropped in here for lunch while out walking with friends. It was Wednesday lunch time and there were only four people in the pub drinking. On first impressions you could be forgiven for wondering “what have I walked into”. We ordered our drinks selecting two ales from the kegs and soft drinks for our wives. The lady behind the bar was very welcoming and brought menus and the specials board to our table. “Wow”, what a choice we had, which worried me a little as I was thinking with no customers and such a choice what’s the food going to be like and how long will we have to wait. I need not have worried. We all selected a different dish and by the time we were enjoying our second pint of Green Jack the food arrived. It was excellent, the pie came with a gravy boat, we all have ample veg which was beautifully cooked. A real pleasant surprise. The surrounding are not that great, you don’t need your best bib and tucker on, but the food and beer is excellent. We will definitely return and plan to give the Sunday Lunch a try.

Food was disappointing but good service

From the moment you walk in, there is an absence of atmosphere and certainly no warm welcome. There is no good evening or how do you do, just a grunt from the tattoos behind the bar ‘what can I get you’. This is a far cry from how the pub was previously run and it appears there has been little or no investment. Furthermore, they now run it like a bingo parlour so the potential for a quiet drink or nice meal has completely diminished with the microphone / speakers too loud to talk over. We won’t be back any time soon. Very unclassy.

5 out of 5 for the overall experience. I've eaten at the Artichoke on different occasions and have enjoyed welcoming, friendly service. The staff were happy to alter the order when asked. The menu was varied and interesting. I received my meal in good time and correct temperature. Very tasty and will definitely visit again.

We called in for lunch and made our selection from the over 55's menu, which was good value for money. There was plenty of seating available as ours was a mid-week visit. A lovely pub which is well worth a visit.
Tap takeover by Ossett brewery! Brilliant!! Great beer in a great pub.

What pubs should be like. Warm welcome, traditional interior, good beer and simple but delicious home-made food. Don’t change; and other pubs take note!
Glen Jenner
