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.

    We ordered the pumpkin fritte and rocket salad for appetisers, the spaghetti with parsley, chilli and breadcrumbs, fettuccine with Cornish crab and the tomato and mozzarella pizzetta. We had heard good things and had obviously seen the Instagram hype but even still it exceeded expectations. Everything was 10/10. Best tiramisu I’ve ever had! We will be back.

    Beautiful restaurant visually. Enjoyed a mix of small plates, all were delicious but the truffle wagyu beef was particularly tasty. Despite it being really really busy (Saturday before Christmas) the service was amazing. We received our ours really quickly and were allowed to pay quickly too - hate it when they keep you waiting and you’re keen to be on your way.

    First time coming to Leeds and I have to say that I am impressed with the city itself, the cleanliness, the vibe. Absolutely amazing! The restaurant is a stunning historical venue, making you feel as you are in an opera or a theatre salon in the 19th century. The food was an absolute delight as well as the service and the staff is so accommodating and friendly. A must go place in town, in my opinion. You will not regret it!

    This was the most amazing food in a perfect venue. They really have transformed this building into the most amazing restaurant. The service is some of the best we’ve ever experienced. We had some brilliant recommendations on food and wine and I can’t thank the team enough for a wonderful evening.
