Very nicely refurb, lovely food, and great staff. We'll definitely be going again. They have a great kids menu too, which isn't too fussy or fancy. My only slight criticism is that some of the staff seemed new, and need to brush on the menu, but Rome wasn't built in a day.

Myself and my friend had a great meal here, we will be going again. The staff were all really helpful and really good. Everything seemed reasonable priced. The choices on the menu are great plenty to appeal to everyone and they also have a good kids menu. Looking forward to going again sometime :-)

What a fantastic place. Food was outstanding with my favorite being the pate. The desserts are to die for!! The front of house staff are on the ball and make sure your visit is the best it can be. Congratulations!

We really enjoyed our lunch here today - good value for money and very tasty. Helpful staff, and the food was well presented. Lovely surroundings, with a tasteful redecoration. Great veiws across the valley.

Hadn't been to the Hobbit restaurant before and probably wouldn't have found it but for the fact that my daughter and son-in-law live in Sowerby Bridge. We were looking for somewhere to eat and saw this restaurant adverised in a local magazine. Attracted by the fact it had recently been refurbished and was offering two courses for £10 before 8pm....

This was my second visit in recent weeks with my husband. The ambience is great and when the sun shines the views across the valley are breath taking. The new Early Bird menu is excellent value, something for everyone . Staff have been very attentive, but not over the top. We will be back.

We have just eaten here on a very busy bank holiday weekend, for a start you are not a table number but the front of house remembers and calls you by name. the place is clean tidy and comfortable with sufficient gaps between tables. The menu is good and the quality of the food even better. To top this off,... More

We came here for a Mum's night out and were very pleased not only with the high standard of food but the surroundings were lovely and we felt right at home, so much so that the white rioja was slipping down a little too well! Can recommend the tuna steak and filet. Well worth a visit! Well done to the... More

This place has been transformed by the new owners and it is a shame that the legacy from previous owners is distorting the rating acheived on Trip Advisor. I'm sure that over time the headline rating will improve because the Hobbit is now one of the best places to eat out in the local area. The refurb of the bar... More
