2 Best Restaurants in Haworth: Heart of Bronte Country, Yorkshire

This 16th-century building with two magnificent stone fireplaces is now a welcoming pub, and the friendly and efficient service gets high marks. The menu is full of hearty old favorites, with mains like steak and ale pie or grilled chicken breast with bacon, melted cheese, and barbecue sauce, plus an assortment of salads, burgers, and homemade kebabs. Craft beers (called "real ales" in Britain) are a specialty, and there are two B&B rooms upstairs if you wish to stay the night.

This gastropub's weekly changing menu emphasizes seasonal ingredients, with meats sourced from local small farms' rare and native breeds (much of it cooked over a Josper charcoal grill) and fish delivered from nearby Hartlepool. With its wood paneling and open fire, the downstairs bar evokes a snug Georgian tavern, while upstairs, the elegant dining room of the same period features several antique clocks made by John Barraclough, clockmaker to the Brontës, who lived in this building. There are special vegan and children's menus, too.
