Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Shears Inn is appreciated for its delicious and plentiful home-cooked food, especially the corned beef and onion pie, alongside the "best chips in Halifax". The pub exudes a cozy, old-world charm with a welcoming open fire. Some guests have found the bathrooms rather small and awkward. Its location is convenient, with easy access to The Piece Hall and the train station, making it a great value for money.

Decent stay WITH some issues

cramped bathroomsparkly walls
The bathroom was REALLY cramped. The shower door opened inward awkwardly, forcing me to maneuver around the toilet just to get in and out (it was a bit dangerous). The room decor featured sparkly walls, which I found odd (though taste is subjective). I found the vegetarian options in the pub lacking. Only potatoes were available.
