The Box Tree represents a combination between 21st century efficiency and exquisite good taste. Whilst the kitchen boasts the latest equipment, the restaurant features a collection of art and antiques which define the style and luxury for which the Box Tree is famed.

We chose The Box Tree for Easter Sunday lunch and it was a great choice. Absolutely outstanding experience, from being greeted when we arrived to our departure several hours later. Everything we ate was imaginative, delicious and beautifully presented. Portion sizes were also just right so one didn’t feel like a stuffed goose at the end, although the pause between the main course and the dessert was necessary ! Have always heard good things about this restaurant and they’re all true. Worth saving up for.

Gastro Pub

Keighley

About the restaurant

The Hawthorn is a Georgian gem in the heart of Haworth, packed full of period features offering a relaxed environment to unwind with friends and family. This warm and appealing gastropub has been renovated throughout to showcase an array of local antiques including a stunning array of Barraclough clocks, homage to John Barraclough himself, Clockmaker to the Brontes, who used to live in this very building in the Georgian era.

We serve only food made using the freshest seasonal British produce and our menu changes through the weeks to reflect this.

We have a custom-made Josper charcoal grill which is the hottest indoor grill available and used by the best restaurants in the country. Cooking on the Josper ensures none of the natural moisture or flavour escapes from the food, whilst at the same time adding the distinct chargrilled taste.

A very good dining experience, the food was impeccable and the service was of a very high standard - I would certainly at here again. We spoke to some of the locals who told us that this restaurant was very good, and we were not disappointed. The young, blonde lady who was our waitress was very polite and could not do enough for you. If you are in Howarth, and are looking for a nice meal - go The Hawthorn.
