Built over 400 years ago, originally called The Leopard, The Thornhill still retains some of the original built features, including a stone entrance dating back to 1673 inscribed with W.C. Using fresh local produce, The Thornhill offers delicious pub food, served to a very high standard, our menu ranges from snacks, lunch options, traditional pub classics & a some great à la carte options. It has been said that there are secret tunnels running from the pub down to Kirkstall Abbey built many years ago by the monks. There are some sealed off areas of the cellars that have not been opened for many years - adding some mystery to the building and helping to create its unique atmosphere!

A LITTLE LATER OPENING TODAY ❤️

We’ll be opening a little later than usual today.

This morning, Jamie and I are handing over the keys to another one of our pubs.

It’s a bittersweet moment, but if we’re honest, it’s also a reflection of the reality of running pubs at the moment. Costs keep rising, margins are getting tighter, and trying to keep everything going across more than one site has become harder and harder.

We’ve had a lot on our plate, and we’ve made the decision to step away from that pub so we can simplify things and concentrate our time, energy and focus on The Thornhill.

After 16 years here, The Thornhill is home to us, and right now we feel that giving it our full attention is the right thing to do.

We just need a little time this morning to get everything handed over and sorted before heading back.

Thanks for bearing with us — we’ll be open this afternoon and look forward to seeing you then ❤️

WHAT A HALLOWEEN 🎃❤️

We were absolutely packed to the rafters yesterday and I honestly can’t thank everyone enough for coming down and making it such a brilliant day.

The kids party was chaos in the best possible way 😂 The mummy wrapping was definitely a highlight… even if it did mean I spent about an hour afterwards picking toilet roll up off the floor!

A huge thank you to Craig Tate for helping me with all the decorations and the party. I genuinely couldn’t have done it without him.

Also to my glamorous assistants Sarah Louise Waudby and Anna Winfield for getting stuck in and helping everything run smoothly ❤️

And then later on, Craig Brauns & Dave Weeks absolutely smashed it with a fantastic rock & roll set. They were brilliant and such a good way to finish the night 🎸

Also not forgetting our fabulous staff for always having our backs, supporting us and working their asses off with smiles still on their faces ♥️

What made it even better was seeing how much effort the whole village had made. Calverley really went all out this year with the decorations and the atmosphere around the village was just lovely.

It genuinely felt like one of the best Halloweens we’ve had here yet.

Thank you to everyone who came in, dressed up, danced, laughed, brought the kids, stayed for a drink and made The Thornhill feel so full of life.

Days like that are exactly why we love being part of this village ❤️
