The on-site bar and restaurant serves homemade food and cask ales, including Timothy Taylor ales and other guest beers. Guests eat on a scenic outdoor terrace set by the river. A full English breakfast is offered in the morning, and special diet menus are available on request.

A children's playground is located on the property for younger guests. The hotel offers a kids' menu with options such as chicken nuggets, chips, and beans. Families can walk to the Eureka Museum for Children in under 15 minutes.
Location
Shears Inn sits next to the Hebble stream in a quiet area of Halifax, about a 10-minute walk from the town centre. The hotel is a 5-minute walk from Shay Stadium, home to FC Halifax Town, and within walking distance of the Piece Hall. Free private parking is available on-site, so guests can leave their car and explore on foot.
On-Site Entertainment
The pub hosts a weekly quiz night on Fridays, which is well attended by both guests and locals. The bar stays open until 10 pm, serving a range of real ales and homemade food. The building dates back approximately 400 years, with low ceilings and wooden beams that create an old-world feel.

“Tucked away down a quiet lane, this historic inn presents a cozy, characterful atmosphere, its pub a hub for well-prepared, hearty fare. The rooms, though keeping the old-world charm, offer a surprising level of comfort with wonderfully inviting beds. It's a place that feels both removed and remarkably close to the heart of things.”
James DavidEditor-in-Chief at Ukyorkshire
