The Pear Tree Inn - Mirfield

I concur with Wadds’ observations below. High priced, low grade food. Food is available all day, as a result, evening meals appear to have been kept warm since the morning. Served in an instant but small portions that are dry and shrivelled. They advertise ‘Fresh Home Cooked Food’ but instant gravy and frozen Yorkshire Puddings show the ads are really just a con. There is better quality food to be found locally and there is certainly cheaper nosh to be had.The pub itself is OK, but nothing more. It is very clean and tidy and the beer is reasonable. Wine is available by the glass or bottle, half decent but not cheap.It’s the sort of place to drop in for a quick drink when travelling from A to B... but then leave. It does not have the atmosphere of a local nor does the quality of the food served qualify it to be an eatery. I endorse Wadds doubts of the earlier reviews. One off entries by each submitter, that do not match my experiences; made me think the reviews were manufactured.

Well I don't know which pub the other reviewers went to but my experience was not good. I always order safely when I try somewhere new to build up confidence in the chef before paying for the expensive items on the menu. Steak ale pie. What can go wrong. Dried up must have been stood in the open air for days at least. Packet gravy mix. Home cooked chips maybe but cold and had not been peeled properly actually quite dirty. Sent meal back. Received a bit of a feeble apology and a drink on the house which I declined. The excuse was they had an agency chef in. MY ADVICE USE A DIFFERENT AGENCY

What a place, been going here since the new landloard tookover early last year, clean, friendly, good all round pub and restaurant with a beautiful rear beer garden overlooking the river, which has just recently been extended with a new lawn and lovely new tables.... Peace and quiet while you feed the swans!As for inside, nice decor, no loud music, quiet snug areas, with a little area a bit livelier area to watch TV and have a giggle with the friendly locals.The restaurant has an improving growing menu, all home cooked food which can be washed down with a choice from the extensive wine menu, or one of a few well kept guest ales.Service, all young friendly people ralied around by the friendliest landloard in the area (he is a bit bonkers), but cares about his customers!

What can i say but this pub simply has it all, all the staff make you feel very welcome and the service is fantastic, there is a great selection of food on the menu which is all cooked fresh (proper chips) even the childrens menu is good quality.The beer garden is very relaxing over looking the river and a new area has been landscaped ready for the Easter Bank Holiday.Everyone is made to feel welcome from young children to the young at heart and even the four legged friends.I'd say go and make your own mind up BUT belive me you wont be disappointed!!!

I compete with Wadds’ observations below. high price, low quality food. the food is available throughout the day, so the evening meal has been kept warm since the morning. served in an instant but small portions that are dry and shrunk. they advertise “Fresh home cooked food” but instant gravy and frozen yorkshire puddings show that the ads are really just a con. there are better quality food to find before spot and there is certainly cheaper nosh to have. the pub itself is okay, but nothing more. it is very clean and tidy and the beer is reasonable. wein is from the glass or bottle, half decent, but not cheap. it is the type of place for a quick drink while traveling from a to b. but then go. it does not have the atmosphere of a local, even not the quality of eating served it as a food. I support wadds doubt the previous reviews. one of the entries from each sender who does not match my experiences; made me think that the reviews were made.
