We were driving past and noticed it was a Free House so decided to stop for a quick bite to eat. The staff were very friendly and efficient. We chose a light lunch - husband had a mushroom and tarragon soup and I had potato and leek soup. Both delicious and served with sourdough bread. The menu and the food that was being served looked very good. If we had not already booked a table elsewhere that evening we would have gone back for dinner. Also a good selection of ales. Upper terrace has stunning views.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere and great wine. Can’t recommend the hermit enough. Well worth a visit if you’re in the area. The roast beef was fabulous but don’t miss out on the starters and the brownie for dessert!!

Lovely place. We had soup and meatballs. I’m vegetarian and choices are limited, nearly gave 4 stars as it’s a common problem, but soup was gorgeous and I’d definitely come again. Pies look good, veggie option would have been amazing. I did ask and apparently work is going on in the background to develop a vegan pie.I’ll try the yoga bowl next time if veggie pies aren’t available ?Staff really friendly.We sat outside, lovely outside space and lovely dogs and people to say hello to.Parking: We had to go wait a couple of minutes for a space to come free. Think we were lucky but it was a busy Saturday afternoon, by 2pm there were plenty of spaces.

Such a find! We wandered in to The Hermit on a Saturday afternoon after a winter’s walk. It is a warm and welcoming pub with fantastic food.We had beef soup which was hearty and a meal in itself; it was served with two big toasted slices of Leeds Bread Co sourdough and creamy butter. We also had the smash burger and ordered it on the sourdough rather than the brioche bun and with vegan cheese to accommodate a milk allergy. The burger was the best we have had in years! Amazingly delicious and served with coleslaw, a great mixed salad and crispy chips made exactly as we requested.Table service at a pub made the Hermit Inn even more desirable. George and his lovely staff were friendly and accommodating.We will returned for our last meal before relocating from West Yorkshire on Tuesday 13/02/24. It was the perfect choice! Excellent service from Bella and exceptionally good food, beer and wine made the evening a perfect good-bye to the area.Dietary restrictions: There were no challenges accommodating a milk allergy.

Excellent food, great portion sizes and lovely atmosphere. Visited whilst the rugby was on and it didn't completely eclipse the pub which was lovely ? Very dog friendly. Would definitely visit again!

Emm Carr

Nice food, although a tad pricey. Great to see some fires on. Nice atmosphere.

This is such a lovely pub in an amazing location. Given how remote it is, it's always heaving! But the staff are great and knowledgeable about what they are serving (drinks & food)

My favourite place to go. It’s a 4 mile walk to it and I still consider it my local. Top quality Sunday roast and a dream view of the valley any time of year washed down by a
