Open; 09:00 - 21:00
Not a posh place by any means, with a boarded upshop nect door.
It's perhaps not the most obvious place to eat, but with such delicacies as;
Curried Goat
Jerked Chicken
SaltFish
Rice & Pea (Kidney Beans)
Ackee
Sweet Potatoes
Plantains
For myself, I had Plantains, Curried Goat, Rice & Peas, 2 Dumplings (more like a salted dougnut, without the jam filling)
We'll definately go back again at some point
Four of us went, & with drinks paid £22.00
(No alcohol served)

We visited this wonderfully preserved 'hostelry' on Friday evening.
The squeamish (& the PC brigade) may be put off by the large amounts of stuffed/mounted animals around the interior.
The food comes in h-u-g-e portions if you wish it to (try a 'Billy Bunter', 20 separate items in a Mixed grill!)
Finding a table may be problematic at times, but console yourself by watching the serving staff bringing copious amounts of food from the kitchens'.
Sufficient, even, for an American!!!
Even outside , it's worth a visit, notice the, stables, posting-bell & old sign.

Aberford itself is a wonderful village, with delightful buildings like the Gothic revival Gascoigne Alms-Houses
Parlington Park (just around the corner) holds the Triumphal Arch & Gothic Deer Shelter

Next time you visit Simmonites (if you can still afford to eat) seek out the Ring O' Bells - it's painted white and situated up a hill, on a road running parallel to the main drag through Thorton. Great food, impressive portions - never drink and drive so dunno about the beer.
The Grouse at Oakworth - great food, great beer (close enough for the missis to drive). Also supplier of copious amounts of water when my Rangie boiled on the way home from a playday!
If you like Chinese - The Orient, Keighley next to the bus depot. Terrific food, nice atmosphere (when you are not the only ones in!)

Website (includes locations & full menus
Quite possibly the best Indian restaraunt in the county.
Sumptious surroundings, can get very busy.
Booking may be essential on a weekend?
However, we went with a couple of friends to the Garforth branch on Saturday evening (weekend prior to the date of this post) at about 19:30 & could barely get in the door, let alone ask about the possibility of a table.
We then travelled to the branch on the A64 at Copmanthorpe (between Tadcaster & York)
It was busy, but we were seated within 3 minutes of walking in.
The bill?
£67.00 for the four of us, including drinks, starters, mains & side-orders.
