The Ford Inn
The Ford is a traditional country pub, nestled in the hillside above the scenic village of Holmfirth and a 15 minute drive from Saddleworth. Dating back 200 years to the reign of King George III, The Ford Inn was a collection of farmsteads on a medieval road and packhorse trail. Serving hearty, traditional pub food in a picturesque setting, it's the perfect place to stop for lunch or dinner.

We proudly support local and craft ales that go down very well with a hearty Sunday roast. While we enjoy the classics, we're always passionate about discovering something new. We can accommodate your four legged faithful friends both outside and in our dedicated Snug. We welcome you to drop by and enjoy a well earned rest and refreshment after roaming the beautiful landscape of Holmfirth.

Was made to feel really welcome, right from phoning to ask if I could park overnight in my campervan. Nicely kept real ale, and a wide variety of other choices if that's not your thing. Food was excellent and plenty of it! I tried the beef stew with dumplings off the Winter Warmer section of the menu.
Pub is spacious and comfortably appointed, with plenty of tables for eating or sitting with a drink, but also has nice bar area and retains a proper pub feel rather than being more of an eatery like too many these days!
Too chilly for sitting out in mid January, but had a nice outside table area

Warm friendly atmosphere, good food, great value, good beer. What more can a man want after a good walk on the fells above Digley reservoir.
Will definitely be back.

Mixed grill was the best and biggest my husband has had, and he’s had a few! Cooked to perfection, tender and a plate full. Lamb shank was lovely and gorgeous mash. Glad we didn’t have a starter and no room for pudding (unfortunately). Will be back.

Arrived 1:10pm on wednesday, a table for 5 was booked two days ago. weather was windy and occassional showers so everyone sit inside. free wifi was not good and basically was not working. meals were tasty. the ham sandwich was good with few slices of ham. plenty steak in homemade steak and ale pie. lamb shank and salmon were delicious. the piri piri chicken wings was tasty (not spicy).
the dessert stick toffee pudding was a bit disappointed due to no service with custard and the pudding was not like others that I had in other restaurants.
