The Alma Inn - Carta

Knew the Alma was near Cottonstones church where my grandparents are buried, so was idea to pop in for a meal. Good and service very good. Forgotten how narrow the roads were to get to it!

Went to Sowerby Bridge on way home from Manchester. Fantastic place! The staff were so friendly and couldn't do enough for us. The food was outstanding. Highly recommend!! Will definitely be back.

I asked for extra chilli on my crab linguine, but got it on padron peppers and olives I think! Crab linguine was a disappointment, soggy and smelt fishy. Pizza was soggy and undercooked. Shame. Lovely views. Ver carta

We visited on Monday 13th Feb at lunchtime. It was quiet and staff were polite and attentive. We ordered a chicken tikka pizza and some salt and pepper fries to share. Pizza was hot, in both ways! Lots of chicken chunks with plenty of jalapeños. Fries were also really hot and spicy. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Six of us booked a table on Saturday lunchtime in the restaurant. From start to finish the service was excellent. There is a wide variety of dishes and everything we ordered was tasty and even though both pub and restaurant were busy we were not waiting long for food or drinks. Also a good choice of gluten free options on a separate menu. They even have a gluten free beer

2.5 hour walk here with my tent on my back and my dog in tow. Absolutely worth it. Staff are a delight, Matt and Siobhan were very friendly efficient and accommodating. Matt is very approachable. Lovely lad. Give him some credit please. Had the fillet gnocchi which I shared with my dog and it was delightful. Fair cost and good portion. Great scenery wine and beer. Well worth a treck. What a gem Ver carta

Starters were good, but mains were a Huge let down. Husband ordered a Beef Roast Dinner, which included one roast potato, one carrot, one parsnip and a bit of green veg! Would at least expect mash too with one measly roast potato! I ordered a rump steak which was ok, but the accompanying chips in the pot was only half full! We had to request cutlery for both starter and mains, which were just thrown onto the table with no serviettes! Had to get up and find our own! Service was terrible, some training is needed. Such a shame as it’s a lovely place for drinks, but will not return for food again!

We stayed as a family in 3 of the beautiful garden rooms following a family wedding nearby. The rooms were so comfortable and immaculate the views were stunning. As we were checking in there was a lovely atmosphere in the pub the food smelt amazing .Breakfast was wonderful just what we needed after the night before. We loved the attention to detail when the fab hosts offered to prepare a bacon sandwich for the journey home for one of our family members who didn’t make it to breakfast. We wished we could have stayed longer will definitely aim for that the next time we are back in the area. Thank you so much!

This restaurant is in beautiful settings overlooking the countryside and feels lovely on a summer evening eating here. I'd heard it was good so had high expectations. The only reason it lost a point was when we arrived the two servers looked at us and ignored us. Luckily another member of staff saw us and helped us. There are a few different eating areas. We opted for the indoor one rather than the outdoor part. I had the mushroom and truffle oil pizza and I honestly think I've not enjoyed a pizza that much since visiting Italy. I could easily eat it every day. I had the tiramisu for dessert and that was nice too. I enjoyed their wine also. I would definitely go again and wouldn't be put off... Ver carta
