Shears Inn Paris Gates - Calderdale

Had Christmas lunch with my colleagues and every dish was absolutely delicious. The place was warm and comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. Highly recommend a trip here.

Booked a table for 4 pm we ordered our drinks and food. We appreciate that is was a Sunday but it wasn’t that busy. The starters took around an hour before they arrived, nobody apologised or spoke to us to say they were running behind. We ordered garlic mushrooms served with sourdough bread, when they arrived the mushrooms were covered in orange cheese, the bread was soggy grey looking with seeds in. My son opted for the Jack Daniel burger, he couldn’t eat it as it tasted of pure alcohol. When asked how the meal was my husband said it was poor and to be fair, the young girl did ask if we wanted to speak to the manager to do anything about it. At this point we had been there over 2 hours, we just wanted to pay and go. We used to come here regularly and not been in a while, the place has gone down hill and unfortunately, we will not be returning.

This pub has drastically declined in quality, offering very poor value for money and a disappointing experience compared to its previous reputation as a great food pub. I ordered the Moroccan spiced kebab on flatbread with roast potatoes, but was dismayed by the lack of filling in the sandwich - only a few lettuce leaves, cucumber slices, and a small portion of chicken and steak that were mostly fat and gristle. The food was of very low quality and hardly worth the price of £14.50. It’s a shame to see this pub fall from its former glory of providing decent and affordable meals. I would recommend avoiding this pub, as many others have had to avoid Covid.

Room was comfortable bed nice plenty of pillows allowing for a good sleep. Really tucked away and not the easiest to find but once there mostly good. Only issue I had was I couldn’t get in the shower as not enough room door to cubicle smacked against the loo someone my size no chance of getting in so had to have stand up washes. Really pleasant staff there.

We visited this pub today and had a lovely roast dinner. It was just like a home roast!! Would highly recommend.
