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

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!)

Bush Tucker Man:
Aagrah Indian Restaraunts

Various West/North Yorkshire locations;
Denby Dale (between Huddersfield & Wakefield)
Doncaster
Garforth (adjacent to A1/M1 link road)
Leeds (city-centre)
Pudsey
Shipley
Skipton
Tadcaster
Wakefield

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.
