The Fisherman Bingley Review

The fisermans has a very warm and pleasant atmosphere. The food was completely to my taste. Also the service was top notch. Well done all at the fisherman's

Our first visit. We took our grandchildren aged 12 & 7 and both the childrens menu and the adult menu were very good. Lovely staff,good atmosphere and value for money.

Awful,and no one seemed interested that our meal was the worst Sunday lunch.

Friendly older worlde pub on the side of the canal. Great food, drinks choice and friendly staff.

Despite its nice setting we were extremely disappointed with the food. They ran out of all the fish dishes on the specials board, apparently in the afternoon, but didn't bother to remove the dishes from the board. We ordered scampi and chips and a mushroom risotto. The chips tasted as if cooked in very old oil, were soggy and burnt. The tartar sauce, served in a small dish, had a thick yellowing crust on, indicating that it had been out for hours. It was clearly not homemade and had a very chemical taste. The mushroom risotto was lovelessly chucked together on top of a dollop of rice served with soggy garlic bread. It lacked any kind of flavour or freshness. The menu is very limited and, as with so many pubs in the area, little thought is given to vegetarians and vegans

Turned up just before 1pm on bank holiday monday, got a table and placed a food order. 40 minutes later, we still hadn't received our food or any apologies or explanation as to why we have yet to get out food so we approached the bar and asked them where it was to which they said they'd chase it up. Another 30 minutes passed and we once again had to enquire about the food to which the rude bar wench stated that the chef was on his own so we should expect food to be delivered slowly. (Why they have 1 chef on a bank holiday monday is beyond me)



As for my other parties food, they had the same complaints. Store bought, frozen foods that they've heated up and served in a dysmal fashion. It's okay when you're at a Wetherspoons, but not a local pub that serves "fresh food daily"

Do not, I repeat, do not buy anything from here. I will not be returning, nor recommending anyone to come. I'd just go to the Co-Op and buy my own Rustlers.

Popular spot in the canal on a busy day but staff work hard to keep things going

Another lovely find..although it's been a bingley institution for years, it has undergone a sympathetic makeover..not just a generic pub

Pleasant little pub, service was quick and friendly. We had to share a table with another couple waiting as the inside is very small. Good menu selection, we went with a sunday roast however we feel we should have gone with something off the menu. The food we had wasn't bad but it wasn't anything special either, I don't think we'd go for a roast again as the meat was a little tough and the potatoes were a tad dry but the steak and ale pie sounded great. All in all, it's a nice little stop along the canal.

Good food and beer choice at vfm prices. ...and dog friendly too.

Nice and friendly place for brake during a canal trip

Good stop off when walking on LEEDS Liverpool canal. Great food and drinks choices

Lovely way to finish a canal walk or bike ride. Had a little beer garden too.

Very nice pub lovely surroundings, prices a bit high but nice food

Cracking little pub on the canal side serving amazing food

Went in early and the assistant manager opened up so I could get a drink. Really nice guy. Good atmosphere. Dogs allowed

great place,food and lovely staff highly recommend.

A great spot on the canal, a good choice of ales, lagers and wines, food available, although we didn't eat, there were plenty of people who were, a popular 'plaice'

Beautiful canal side location on walk between Bingley and Saltair , good ale and the food is fantastic, good portions , the place is clean and staff are friendly.

Great spot on the canal, good range of real ales and some lagers. Decent food, bit expensive but big serves.

Only stopped for a pint but it was nice and the views are fantastic.

Good menu but unfortunately starters were cold and the Yorkshire pudding and potatoes were also cold. Hopefully just a blip.

Called today with my husband and meal not so good. I had Rump Steak which was average. Hubby had the Beef & veg dinner, however, the beef was rubbery and dry.. roasties hidden under meat were burnt!! Gravy was lumpy and not stirred and the vegetables were ok. The whole meals were like warm.
However, the staff were lovely.

First visit for a friends birthday meal. A wonderful and charming pub with service to match. Great food and tasty local beers.

Excellent food and friendly efficient welcoming staff

Just been for a meal with friends and the food was excellent, service was great and the staff very friendly. If I have a negative it would be the seating, I found them not comfortable so I really couldn't sit for more than an hour or so.

Great food beer and atmosphere what more can you want!?

Good reasonably priced food and great service. New vegan options are also really nice according to my daughter

Food nice. Portions good. Service too quick between courses.

Lovely, lively atmosphere. Good food too, highley recommended.

Disappointing overall, went on sunday, got the carvery, and it is prepacked boil in the bag vegetables and microwave meat. And then I thought, give it another chance, I went for Monday lunch offer, for sizzling platter. I first thought it's meat platter, but it is a sizzling plate with tiny bit of meat. The manager looks so miserable, but I have to say, I love the log fire. But, log fire doesn't make me to come back here. It has a reputation but it is just a hype. I am local resident in this area, and I go to boathouse inn pub in Saltaire to get a good food, and good service.

We thoroughly enjoyed steak night at the Fisherman's. Will definitely go back soon.

Lovely food, had to wait a bit too long for order to be taken and the place wasn't busy to warrant the time.

Arrived by chance. Had excellent meal, kids meals good too. Good atmosphere, recommended

Friendly staff, lovely food and lots of choices on where to sit... out in the sun or inside this lovely pub. A great walk along the canal and dog friendly too.

Food very nice beer spot on not crowded or rushed recommend for a nice country pub meal at the edge of a major city. The canal and boats passing a added bonus

Fantastic food nice and clean served hot and plenty of it. Will be frequenting here a lot more. Well Done

Perfectly placed on the canal walk for a warm and a drink or very nice food.

I miss the old landlord/bar manager, it was such a warmer welcome with him. Not the same place anymore, without his big smile.

The atmosphere is good and they have a decent range of beers, the staff are great too. But the quality of the food I found was very poor.

Easy access from the canal and does a good pint of Guinness and beer garden and the staff are very friendly

Very nice pint on a walk along the canal with very friendly staff!

After a walk on the canal my sister and I called in to the Fisherman's which was warm and welcoming and staff very friendly, we enjoyed a lovely lunch which was very good and will definitely go more often

A great pint of Landlord which is sadly disappointing in some pubs these days

Great traditional pub on canal side.



The pub is traditional and offers numerous beers not to mention dog friendly too with a car park and beer garden by canal side.

Overall excellent service, beers and food, highly recommend.

Very good. Lovely and clean. Warmly received . My wife and I called for lunch Easter bank holiday Monday . Excellent home cooked food quickly served piping hot and very tasty . Reasonable value for money when you take into account portion size and quality. I was very impressed and understand that this pub has had a fair bit of mismanagement over the last few years, well it appears all that has changed. I can see this pub becoming a much frequented hostelry once again. So well done to the new owners .

We had a lovey meal at this pub we had been to the Flappit before which was run by the same people so we new the food was of a good standard and you will all ways get a warm welcome.

Really nice fresh food and good selection of real ale.

After being ignored at the sun pub in cottingley we walked out and wondered where to go, I remembered the fisherman from years ago and what a pleasant experience.
The young bar man was extremely professional and polite, a really nice atmosphere, we will most definatley be calling again!

Lovely place, rustic canalside charm good food and a nice selection of ales

Good main course and drinks. Friendly staff. Pudding a bit over priced, in my opinion.

Great atmosphere and friendly locals made for an enjoyable evening after a day on the canal

The food was really nice, there's a friendly atmosphere and the views are lovely.

Had a Ploughmans today, if you could class it as a Ploughmans. One bit of cheese, bit of bread, half a pork pie and salad does not make a Ploughmans. Come on Fisherman's sort ya Ploughmans out.

Food was okay, will go again, but try something different.

Visited today with friends and my husband, who is disabled. It was lovely weather so we opted to sit in the outside area at the back of the pub. Wheelchair access was no problem as there is a slope, as well as steps, to the lower level. We chose a steak sandwich, fish and chips and burgers. The burgers were huge and delicious, as were the fish and steak sandwich. The chips were lovely. We have visited for a drink in the past with our two spaniels, but we didn't have them with us today. Dogs are welcome though, so we'll take them next time - Doggy snacks are for sale at the bar. A lovely meal and good atmosphere, we will definitely visit again.

This is a dog friendly pub with a good selection of local ales. You can enjoy a beer by the canal watching the world go by and the food is good too. The chips are gluten free which is a rarity and the steak was lovely.

Wow... It was a real find. The food was amazing... And a lesson to all those big or lazy places that give you frozen chips! The chips like everything else are cooked freshly and beautifully cooked! The girls serving were really friendly and professional. The relaxed atmosphere made it a lovely experience. We'll done guys! X

Lovely foid and chill atmosphere, great spot to stop walking along the canal

Food brilliant...staff professional and friendly...service great...
